[[File:Champion Room B2W2.png|frame|The Champion's Room in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], where Trainers may defeat the Champion and win the Pokémon League]]
A '''Pokémon League Champion''' (Japanese: '''リーグ{{tt|優勝者|ゆうしょうしゃ}}''' ''League Champion''), normally referred to as simply '''Champion''' or '''Pokémon Champion''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオン''' ''Champion''), is the highest known level of rank for a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. The title is also colloquially referred to as '''League Champ''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリーグのちょうてん''' ''Pokémon League's Greatest'').

It usually refers to a Trainer who has completed a [[Pokémon League]] by collecting all the necessary [[Badge]]s, and either winning a regional Pokémon tournament or defeating the [[Elite Four]] and the previous Champion (if there is one). [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] share a Champion, while other regions have their own. If a Champion is defeated, they must relinquish their title to the victor; however, the victor can refuse the title, as [[N]] did in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the player as Champion can defend the title against challengers.

==In the games==
Champion is a [[Trainer class]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is the title held by the Trainer who last defeated the [[Elite Four]] and the previous Pokémon Champion. Each Champion is always stronger than the Elite Four members and most other Trainers, and has a party of six Pokémon to test their opponents' strength. Like Elite Four members, they employ the use of strong healing items. To challenge the Champion, Trainers must defeat all four Elite Four members without leaving the Pokémon League area, and cannot access the Pokémon League [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Poké Mart]] until after defeating the Champion or losing at any point during the challenge. If a challenger is defeated by the Champion, just like the Elite Four, they must start over.

Since in every [[core series]] game the player goes on to defeat the standing Champion, every [[player character]] is considered a Champion and subsequently entered into the [[Hall of Fame]], along with the player's [[party]]. However, for players, becoming the Champion is mostly a symbolic honor, as they are unable to battle challengers or take up any other league duties. In addition, the former Champion will still remain at the [[Pokémon League]], retaining the title of Pokémon Champion at least in newer generations (in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, {{ga|Blue}} [[Blue (game)#Indigo Plateau|clearly]] [[Blue (game)#Indigo Plateau 2|stated]] his reign was over). The player may battle the Elite Four and the former Champion as many times as they like, and on each success will be re-entered into the Hall of Fame with whatever team was used in that challenge.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Cynthia tells the player that once every few years, the Champions from all the regions come together and battle to find the strongest among them. In the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, which takes place 2 years later, all the Champions the player battles in previous games participate in the [[Champions Tournament]]. This tournament does not include player characters, with the exception of {{ga|Red}}.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, the {{al|Pokémon League}} of [[Alola]], having just been established, has no Champion. Instead, [[Professor Kukui]], its founder, stands in as the final obstacle the player must overcome before becoming the league's first Champion. In another first for the series, the player is obligated as Champion to receive challenges from non-player characters, and can [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|defend their title]]. The player is allowed to keep the nominal title of Champion if defeated.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Alder and Cynthia.png|thumb|250px|[[Alder]] and [[Cynthia]], Champions of [[Unova]] and [[Sinnoh]], respectively.]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], there can only be one regional Champion at a time, although the case of the less conventional [[Orange League]] is unclear. While {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can freely request a battle from the Champion, much more popular events are the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, which can be entered by Trainers with at least eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. The winner of these tournaments may enter the Champion League to face off the regional [[Elite Four]] members and, if successful, the League Champion. Most members of the {{DL|Elite Four|Sinnoh Elite Four}} have also been shown challenging [[Cynthia]] for the title.

So far, the only mentions of the Champion League have been in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'' and ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]''.

In addition to gathering eight Gym Badges, the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] is known to accept Trainers passing the [[EP056|Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] and those graduating from [[Pokémon Tech]]. There are also smaller tournaments, such as the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], where the winner gets to battle the League Champion straight away. [[Trip]] and {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}} were allowed to battle [[Alder]] and [[Diantha]], respectively, by winning such competitions.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:PS265.png|thumb|220px|Wallace wearing the "Champion's Cloak"]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the Champion of each region is the winner of an elimination tournament held every three years in each region. In the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, it was determined that the winners of each tournament would have to face the [[Elite Four]], each a former champion themselves, before challenging the Champion. The main characters that took part in a Pokémon League tournament so far are {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, and {{adv|Black}}. Of the four, Red and Black both won a tournament, though only Red was formally given the title of Champion.

The following are the known Champions in the Pokémon Adventures manga:

==Trivia==
* In French localizations, Gym Leader is translated to ''Champion'', while Champion is translated to ''Maître'', meaning "master".
* [[Diantha]] has the highest leveled Pokémon out of all the Champions battled the first time the Pokémon League is challenged. Her lowest level is 64, and her highest is 68.
** Although [[Alder]] has Pokémon above level 70, he is not battled as Champion until the post-credits rematch against the {{un|Pokémon League}}.
* [[Lance]] has the lowest leveled Pokémon out of all the Champions. His lowest level Pokémon is level 44 in [[Generation II]], and level 46 in [[Generation IV]]. His highest is level 50 in both generations.

Legendary trio

2016-12-18T06:58:54Z

Wisesun: /* See also */

A '''Legendary trio''' is a term used to describe a group of three closely-related [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Legendary trios can be subdivided into two tiers: normal trios and mascot trios. Normal trios, which are always the first legends that appear in any [[Pokédex]] order, are allowed into the many [[Battle Tower]]s and other battle facilities. They are also the only Pokémon with [[base stats|base stat]] totals of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 580|580}}, besides the [[Swords of Justice]]. The mascot trios, whose name comes from the fact that all of them are [[game mascot]]s, are not allowed in the [[Battle Tower]] and are found closer to the end of the Pokédex in the generation of their release.

Five of the eight trios share at least one [[type]] (the weather, beast, and regi trios all bearing different types from each other), and members of a trio will also commonly share an [[Ability]] and base stat total (the Forces of Nature, the weather trio, and the Tao trio being different due to inclusion of a third member who is either superior or inferior to the first two for story purposes). All of the trios have a [[trio master|master]] who created them according to myth and/or is somehow able to exert control over them, though oftentimes, these masters are not introduced until a later generation or revealed to be the master until a [[third version]].

The term fell into official usage from the {{Shiny}} [[Legendary beasts]]' [[Wonder Card]]s.

==Trivia==
* The [[lake guardians]] are the only trio whose members are all {{t|Psychic|the same type}}. However, many other trios share types within the group.
* Every core series [[game mascot]] since {{p|Suicune}}, excluding the mascots of remakes and {{pkmn|X and Y}}, has been part of a Legendary trio.
* {{p|Mewtwo}} is the only Legendary Pokémon with a base stat total of over 600 that is not part of or related to any trio.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] and the joint [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] (alongside [[Red (game) |Red]]) in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I]] and the [[Generation III]] remakes, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. By the [[Generation II]] games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.
He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise. He prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In Generation II and their remakes, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]] where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Lance also appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} HM for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

* After battling the [[red Gyarados]]
:''"This lake is full of <sc>{{p|Gyarados}}</sc> but nothing else… So the <sc>{{p|Magikarp}}</sc> are being forced to evolve… Did you come here because of the rumors? You're <player>? I'm <sc>Lance</sc>, a trainer like you. I heard some rumors, so I came to investigate… I saw the way you battled earlier, <player>. I can tell that you're a trainer with considerable skill. If you don't mind, could you help me investigate?"''
::'''Yes''':''"Excellent! It seems that the <sc>Lake</sc>'s <sc>Magikarp</sc> are being forced to evolve. A mysterious radio broadcast coming from <sc>{{to|Mahogany}}</sc> is the cause. I'll be waiting for you, <player>.

'''[[Mahogany Town]]'''

:*After defeating Ariana
::''"That did it. We defeated all the <sc>Rockets</sc> here. But I'm concerned about the {{ga|Silver|young guy}} I battled in the process… Sorry, <player>. I saw how well you were doing, so I just hung back. Now all there is left to do is to turn off that odd radio signal. It's this machine that's causing all the problems. I don't see a switch on it… We have no choice. We have to make all the <sc>{{p|Electrode}}</sc> faint. That should stop this machine from transmitting that strange signal. It's no fault of the <sc>Pokémon</sc>, so it makes me feel guilty. <Player>, let's split the job."''

:*If player tries to leave their side
::''"Leave this side to me."''

:*After defeating all Electrode
::''"That odd signal has finally stopped. The <sc>Lake</sc> should be back to normal. You're the hero! Let me thank you on behalf of all the <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Oh, yes. You should take this. I found it here, but I don't have any need for it. That's <sc>{{m|Whirlpool}}</sc>. Teach it to a <sc>Pokémon</sc> to get across wild water. But keep this in mind. You can use that out of battle only with the <sc>Badge</sc> from <sc>[[Mahogany Gym]]</sc>. <player>… The journey to becoming the <sc>Pokémon Master</sc> is long and difficult. Knowing that, will you keep going? … I see. No, you're right. If you would give up that easily, you would have never chased that dream in the first place. I look forward to seeing you again!"''

*B3F
:''"It takes two password to get into the [[Giovanni|boss]]'s quarters. Those passwords are known only to a few <sc>Rockets</sc>. That <sc>Rocket</sc> there very graciously told me so. <Player>, let's go get the passwords."''

As the most powerful trainer and as the <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>… I, <sc>Lance</sc> the dragon master, accept your challenge!"''

* Being defeated
:''"…It's over. But it's an odd feeling. I’m not angry that I lost. In fact, I feel happy. Happy that I witnessed the rise of a great new <sc>Champion</sc>!"''

* After being defeated
:''"…Whew. You have become truly powerful, <player>. Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> have responded to your strong and upstanding nature. As a trainer, you will continue to grow strong with your <sc>Pokémon</sc>."''

::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! It seems that the Lake of Rage's <sc>{{p|Magikarp}}</sc> are being forced to evolve. A mysterious radio broadcast coming from Mahogany is probably the cause. And that suspicious souvenir shop… I'll be waiting for you in Mahogany, <player>."''
::'''No''': ''"Oh… Well, if you change your mind, please help me."''

* If talked to again after answering no

*B2F
:''"Are you all right? Your Pokémon are hurt and tired. Here, give them some of my medicine."''

:* Before Multi Battle with the player
::''"Hold it! A two-on-one battle? That is so unfair! Typical of [[Team Rocket]] to be so sneaky. Allow me to join the battle!"''

:* After the battle
::''"Sorry, <player>. I saw how well you were doing, so I just hung back. Now all there is left to do is to turn off that odd radio signal."''

:* After entering the transmission room
::''"It's this machine that's cauing all the problems. I don't see a switch on it… We have no choice. We have to make all the <sc>{{p|Electrode}}</sc> faint. That should stop this machine from transmitting that strange signal. It's no fault of the <sc>Electrode</sc>, so it makes me feel sad. <Player>, let's split the job."''

:* If player tries to leave their side
::''"Leave this side to me."''

:* After defeating all Electrode
::''"That odd signal has finally stopped. The lake should be back to normal. You're the best! Let me thank you on behalf of all the Pokémon. Oh, yes. You should take [[HM05|this]]. I found it here, but I don't have any need for it."''
::''"That's {{m|Whirlpool}}. Teach it to get across wild water. But keep this in mind. You can use that out of battle only with the {{Badge|Glacier|Badge}} from [[Mahogany Gym]]."''
::''"<Player>… The journey to becoming the Pokémon Champion is long and difficult. Knowing that, will you keep going? ………………… I see. No, you're right. If you would give up that easily, you would have never chased that dream in the first place. I look forward to seeing you again!"''

*B3F
:''"<Player>! In order to unlock the door to the radio transmitter, you need the voice of a certain person. The name of the person is [[Petrel]], the {{tc|Executive|Team Rocket Executive}}!

[[File:Lance anime.png|200px|thumb|Lance in the anime]]
Lance is a {{pkmn|Master}} Trainer and the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Indigo [[Elite Four]]. He is a member of an organization called the [[Pokémon G-Men]].

Lance's first appeared in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] started up an evil scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]], Lance showed up to investigate. He met {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} there, saving the children from some formidable {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.
[[File:Lance TR Disguise.png|left|180px|thumb|Lance disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}]]
Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a [[Red Gyarados]] so that they could learn how to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Lance was able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Lance also battled against {{TR|Tyson}} and his two Fearow. Despite being an elite member of Team Rocket, his Fearow were no match for Lance's Dragonite.

Ash was able to calm the Red Gyarados at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance caught it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]]. Before leaving, Lance promised Ash that he would take care of Gyarados.

He was seen in a flashback in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''.

Lance later appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where he helped stop the rampage of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Lance infiltrated Team Magma's submarine and confronted [[Shelly]], who suspected that he wasn't really a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}. Shortly after, he freed Ash, who had been captured after Pikachu absorbed the {{DL|Colored orbs|Red Orb}} that controls Groudon. Lance’s Pokémon were later sent into battle to help try to calm the two feuding Legendary Pokémon.

He made a cameo in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
Lance is primarily a villain in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. He has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

He first appears in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner. He then attacked Vermilion City and destroyed it, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo they could only battle together for about three minutes and with time running out Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow both of them were equally matched, Lance luring the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance then once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{p|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Tyranitar (which Silver promptly returned after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]). Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to find out what happened to its Trainer.

After chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]], Gold encounters an injured Lance there. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and wasn't able to meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not be able to connect with Arceus until he is able to connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}, just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone else who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} that were created on the Mystri Stage. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to go find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni, who was attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how Lance was defeated by a coward like Petrel. Lance reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

|desc=These {{p|Dragonair}} are Lance's mainly-used ones in his Dragonair army. One of them first appeared in a Surfing Contest as a prize. During the contest, Lance brainwashes the Dragonair and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|BubbleBeam}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}

However, this plan did not work as Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt. Surge|Trainers]] to fight the villain and free them. Eventually, after much turmoil, Lugia once again fled along with Ho-Oh.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Lance PM.png|thumb|145px|Lance in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang was on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons that he threw at it. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals its story about how he met Lance. However, the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance ran off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier RGB.png|frame|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}} in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide GSC.png|frame|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
[[File:Lance Team Magma.png|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a Team Magma Grunt]]
* In the games, Lance is depicted as being from [[Blackthorn City]], but the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicts Lance as being from [[Viridian Forest]] (albeit of Blackthorn descent).
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}} shows artwork of him with purple hair. This is probably due to the fact that the board game was made before Yellow was released.
* Though his type theme is Dragon Pokémon, in Generation II, only three of his Pokémon are actually of the Dragon type, all of them Dragonite.
** Additionally, the non-Dragon-type Pokémon used by Lance in the main series ({{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Charizard}}) are all part Flying-type, as well as partially or fully resembling dragons.
* In Generations II and IV, Lance's Dragonite are under level 55 when the player battles him the first time. The player cannot obtain a Dragonite lower than 55 through in-game gameplay except from distribution events.
* Lance is the only member of the Johto Elite Four who, on the second time through, still does not have a team of only his type, with Charizard and Gyarados not being Dragon types.
* In the {{Pkmn|anime}}, Lance has disguised himself as a member of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] twice, as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} in ''[[EP235|Talkin' Bout an Evolution]]'', and later as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}} in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle with in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}) so far. Furthermore, the Multi Battle with him against [[Ariana]] and a Grunt can be seen parallel to the Multi Battle the player has with [[Steven Stone]] in {{game|Emerald}} against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].
* Despite taking place three years later, Lance's Pokémon are at a lower level in Generation II than they were in Generation I. The same thing occurs with [[Bruno]].
* Lance appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a Dragonite in battle.
* From Generations {{Gen|I}} to {{Gen|III}}, all of his Pokémon know {{m|Hyper Beam}}.
* Although Lance is the Champion in all Johto-based games, he does not use any Generation II Pokémon in these games.
* Lance's Gyarados, Charizard and Dragonite can appear to level down, if the player decides to battle him and [[Clair]] in [[Dragon's Den]] before collecting all 16 Badges and the Elite Four upgrading their teams in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, as they are levels 68-75 in the [[Multi Battle]] and are levels 48-50 when re-challenged at the [[Indigo League]].
* In the manga, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create an utopia for Pokémon.
* In [[Generation IV]], all of his Pokémon except {{p|Aerodactyl}} suffer double weakness. {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Dragonite}} suffer double weakness against {{t|Ice}} type, {{p|Gyarados}} for {{t|Electric}} type, and {{p|Charizard}} with {{t|Rock}} type.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] of the [[Champions Tournament]].

Upon sitting on the Champion's throne, the challenger the player faces is selected at random from the following Trainers.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}. Prior to [[Generation II]], he was officially referred to as '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''').

Red is known throughout as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as the living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} and is the new owner of the Battle Tree alongside Blue in Pokemon Sun and Moon.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old (10 in the European releases) boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, it is revealed that Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a [[starter Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.

After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|a package}} back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.

Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mount Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}—and causing Giovanni to realize that Pokémon battles are about having fun, not business. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.

Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.

Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.

Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.

Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, Red travels to [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] with Blue.

===Pokémon===
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].

When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]

===Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
Red himself appears as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.

==In other games==
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. Red also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. A recolor of the original figure named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}}, aptly colored with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
====In the main series====
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash Ketchum, Red's anime counterpart]]
Red's [[cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto and Generation V during Unova, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

====In Pokémon Origins====
{{main|Red (Origins)}}
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|200px|Red in Pokémon Origins]]
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen.

====In Pokémon Generations====
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|200px|left|Red in Pokémon Generations]]
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he captured a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in [[Viridian Forest]], and went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, encountering various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Red reappeared briefly at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Like in the main games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.

Red encountered Pikachu while in [[Viridian Forest]]. He sent out his {{p|Bulbasaur}} against it, but caught it in a [[Poké Ball]] without battling. After catching it, Red immediately let it out its Poké Ball and had it battle a {{p|Caterpie}}.

Pikachu continued to travel with its trainer throughout [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]], battling against Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Noivern}}.}}

* When Red caught Pikachu, he was revealed to have already obtained at least two other Pokémon besides Bulbasaur.

=====Achievements=====
======Badges obtained======
This listing is of the [[Badge]]s Red has obtained in the [[Kanto]] region:
* At least eight Badges (prior to ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'')

===In the manga===
Red, like most player characters, also has several counterparts in the various Pokémon manga series.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
{{Main|Red (Adventures)}}
{{adv|Red}} is Red's direct counterpart in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

====In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga====
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]
Another counterpart of Red makes an appearance in the [[JBA6|final chapter]] of Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} while [[Jō]] battled the Gym Leader. Jō then officially encountered Red when he reached the top of [[Mt. Silver]].

Red's anime counterpart, [[Ash Ketchum]], appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.

====In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga====
{{main|Shu}}
[[Shu]] from [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] is based on Red.

====In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga====
{{main|Red (Pocket Monsters)}}
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} shares his game counterpart's name and appearance in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].

There is also a character in [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] named {{OBP|Red|Ruby-Sapphire}} who is a rival of Red and is much stronger than him. This character is based on Red's appearance in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

====In the Pokémon Zensho manga====
{{main|Satoshi (Zensho)}}
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] is based on Red.

==Trivia==
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|right|thumb|152px|Red was once called "Satoshi" by Game Freak]]
[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|right|thumb|160px|Concept art of original series Ash's hat]]
* In the '''''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック}}''') from 1997, [[Game Freak]] teased the supposed appearances of Red, [[Professor Oak]], and [[Giovanni]] in the upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> They called Red '''Satoshi''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}'''), the Japanese name of his anime counterpart {{Ash}}, which is also the namesake of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of his default names, indicating that this is what they originally intended to call him before settling on the name "Red", one of the two original color versions of the games.
** {{ga|Ethan}}'s name was also hardcoded as Satoshi in the {{wp|Nintendo Space World}} 1997 demo of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite. Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Red's front sprite seem to be a mix of both matching his then official artwork more accurately and matching [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the {{series|original}}. Then, possibly, his updated initial profile front sprite was recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses that sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, as these games were originally scheduled for a March 1998 release according to the '''''Official Guidebook of Nintendo Spaceworld '97''''' (Japanese: '''NINTENDOスペースワールド'97オフィシャルガイドブック''') and the Nintendo Spaceworld 1997 website,<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/19980224225429/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/swgbsoft/swgb03.html#gb19 SPACEWORLD'97 出展　GAME BOYソフト]</ref> while Pokémon Yellow came out in September 1998, just months after Game Freak decided to delay them. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}.
*** In contrast, {{Ash}}'s hat in the {{series|original}} of the {{pkmn|anime}} was actually similar to Red's hat in his original design from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.
* Red's [[party]] in the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** All of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the {{p|Bulbasaur}} obtained in [[Cerulean City]]; Blastoise can be evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} obtained in [[Vermilion City]]; Charizard can be evolved from the {{p|Charmander}} obtained on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events.
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the anime: Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
** His party in the Generation II games also matches that of {{adv|Red}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga during his venture to [[Mt. Silver]], although Pokémon Adventures Red only borrowed {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} and [[Blasty|Blastoise]] temporarily from {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}, respectively, as he didn't ''own'' those Pokémon.
** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's party in [[Generation II]] featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series}} and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his Pikachu at [[level]] 81, beating the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Pokémon Platinum, {{ga|Barry}}'s party received a boost in level, putting his {{pkmn2|starter|starter Pokémon}} at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at levels as high as 100, the maximum possible. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's party a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping at level 88, Red recovered his status as the highest-leveled {{pkmn|Trainer}} opponent. [[Benga]] on [[Challenge Mode]], however, is a close second with all 3 of his Pokémon at level 85. His levels are tied with Barry's on the weekend battles after beating the Champion 30 times.
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}}  before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s, especially in the [[remake]]s.
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
*** Blue also jokes about this in {{game|Sun and Moon|s}}.
** Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:

{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Do you like POKéMON?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Uh, no, I just asked you.}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Huh?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|You’re strange!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: Hmm? Quit mimicking?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|But, that’s my favorite hobby!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}

::Similarly, after giving Copycat a {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}} and receiving [[TM31]]{{sup/1|RGBY}} or having her teach {{m|Mimic}} to a compatible {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} in return, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:

{{sign|FRLGspeech|header}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Hi!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|Thanks for earlier!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Pardon?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|<Player>: Is it that fun to mimic my}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|every move?}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|COPYCAT: You bet!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|It’s a scream!}}
{{sign|FRLGspeech|footer}}

::This implies that Red is speaking.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' while Blue's is いしはら ''Ishihara''. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''), and クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]]
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from [[Generation II]].
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a {{p|Pikachu}}, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding Giovanni and Koga), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of seven so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red and [[Lance]] share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}'s [[Champions Tournament]].
* Red's T-Shirt in Pokemon Sun and Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese date of release of Pokemon Red and Green, 1996.

Pokémon Champion

Wisesun: /* Trivia */

[[File:Champion Room B2W2.png|frame|The Champion's Room in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], where Trainers may defeat the Champion and win the Pokémon League]]
A '''Pokémon League Champion''' (Japanese: '''リーグ{{tt|優勝者|ゆうしょうしゃ}}''' ''League Champion''), normally referred to as simply '''Champion''' or '''Pokémon Champion''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオン''' ''Champion''), is the highest known level of rank for a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. The title is also colloquially referred to as '''League Champ''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリーグのちょうてん''' ''Pokémon League's Greatest'').

It usually refers to a Trainer who has completed a [[Pokémon League]] by collecting all the necessary [[Badge]]s, and either winning a regional Pokémon tournament or defeating the [[Elite Four]] and the previous Champion (if there is one). [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] share a Champion, while other regions have their own. If a Champion is defeated, they must relinquish their title to the victor; however, the victor can refuse the title, as [[N]] did in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

The Champion is assumed to have to periodically defend the title against challengers, although this is never explicitly stated.

==In the games==
Champion is a [[Trainer class]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is the title held by the Trainer who last defeated the [[Elite Four]] and the previous Pokémon Champion. Each Champion is always stronger than the Elite Four members and most other Trainers, and has a party of six Pokémon to test their opponents' strength. Like Elite Four members, they employ the use of strong healing items. To challenge the Champion, Trainers must defeat all four Elite Four members without leaving the Pokémon League area, and cannot access the Pokémon League [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Poké Mart]] until after defeating the Champion or losing at any point during the challenge. If a challenger is defeated by the Champion, just like the Elite Four, they must start over.

Since in every [[core series]] game the player goes on to defeat the standing Champion, every [[player character]] is considered a Champion and subsequently entered into the [[Hall of Fame]], along with the player's [[party]]. However, for players, becoming the Champion is mostly a symbolic honor, as they are unable to battle challengers or take up any other league duties. In addition, the former Champion will still remain at the [[Pokémon League]], retaining the title of Pokémon Champion at least in newer generations (in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, {{ga|Blue}} [[Blue (game)#Indigo Plateau|clearly]] [[Blue (game)#Indigo Plateau 2|stated]] his reign was over). The player may battle the Elite Four and the former Champion as many times as they like, and on each success will be re-entered into the Hall of Fame with whatever team was used in that challenge.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Cynthia tells the player that once every few years, the Champions from all the regions come together and battle to find the strongest among them. In the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, which takes place 2 years later, all the Champions the player battles in previous games participate in the [[Champions Tournament]]. This tournament does not include player characters, with the exception of {{ga|Red}}.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, the {{al|Pokémon League}} of [[Alola]], having just been established, has no Champion. Instead, [[Professor Kukui]], its founder, stands in as the final obstacle the player must overcome before becoming the league's first Champion. In another first for the series, the player can receive challenges from non-player characters, and can defend their title. The player is allowed to keep the nominal title of Champion if defeated.

Known non-player Champions in the games:

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
In the [[Pokémon anime]], there can only be one regional Champion at a time, although the case of the less conventional [[Orange League]] is unclear. While {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can freely request a battle from the Champion, much more popular events are the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, which can be entered by Trainers with at least eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. The winner of these tournaments may enter the Champion League to face off the regional [[Elite Four]] members and, if successful, the League Champion. Most members of the {{DL|Elite Four|Sinnoh Elite Four}} have also been shown challenging [[Cynthia]] for the title.

So far, the only mentions of the Champion League have been in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'' and ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]''.

In addition to gathering eight Gym Badges, the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] is known to accept Trainers passing the [[EP056|Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] and those graduating from [[Pokémon Tech]]. There are also smaller tournaments, such as the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], where the winner gets to battle the League Champion straight away. [[Trip]] and {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}} were allowed to battle [[Alder]] and [[Diantha]], respectively, by winning such competitions.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the Champion of each region is the winner of an elimination tournament held every three years in each region. In the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, it was determined that the winners of each tournament would have to face the [[Elite Four]], each a former champion themselves, before challenging the Champion. The main characters that took part in a Pokémon League tournament so far are {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Black}}, and {{adv|Red}}. Of the four, Red and Black both won a tournament, though only Red was formally given the title of Champion.

The following are the known Champions in the Pokémon Adventures manga:

==Trivia==
* Prior to the release of Sun and Moon, the player met the Champion before challenging the Elite Four.
* In French localizations, Gym Leader is translated to ''Champion'', while Champion is translated to ''Maître'', meaning "master".
* [[Diantha]] has the highest leveled Pokémon out of all the Champions battled the first time the Pokémon League is challenged. Her lowest level is 64, and her highest is 68.
** Although [[Alder]] has Pokémon above level 70, he is not battled as Champion until the post-credits rematch against the {{un|Pokémon League}}.
* [[Lance]] has the lowest leveled Pokémon out of all the Champions. His lowest level Pokémon is level 44 in [[Generation II]], and level 46 in [[Generation IV]]. His highest is level 50 in both generations.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] and the joint [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] (alongside [[Red (game) |Red]]) in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I]] and the [[Generation III]] remakes, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. By the [[Generation II]] games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} stepping down from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.
He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise. He prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In Generation II and their remakes, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]] where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Lance also appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} HM for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

* Before battle
:''"Ah! I heard about you, <{{player}}>! I lead the <sc>Elite Four</sc>! You can call me <sc>Lance</sc> the dragon trainer! You know that dragons are mythical <sc>Pokémon</sc>! They’re hard to catch and raise, but their powers are superior! They’re virtually indestructible! Well, are you ready to lose? Your <sc>League</sc> challenge ends with me, <player>!"''

* Being defeated
:''"That’s it! I hate to admit it, but you are a <sc>Pokémon</sc> master!"''

* After being defeated
:''"I still can’t believe my dragons lost to you, <player>! You’re now the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> champion! …Or, you would have been, but you have one more challenge ahead. You have to face another trainer! His name is… <[[rival]]>! He beat the <sc>Elite Four</sc> before you. He is the real <sc>Pokémon League</sc> champion!"''

===={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}====
'''[[Lake of Rage]]'''
* After battling the [[red Gyarados]]
:''"This lake is full of <sc>{{p|Gyarados}}</sc> but nothing else… So the <sc>{{p|Magikarp}}</sc> are being forced to evolve… Did you come here because of the rumors? You're <player>? I'm <sc>Lance</sc>, a trainer like you. I heard some rumors, so I came to investigate… I saw the way you battled earlier, <player>. I can tell that you're a trainer with considerable skill. If you don't mind, could you help me investigate?"''
::'''Yes''':''"Excellent! It seems that the <sc>Lake</sc>'s <sc>Magikarp</sc> are being forced to evolve. A mysterious radio broadcast coming from <sc>{{to|Mahogany}}</sc> is the cause. I'll be waiting for you, <player>.
::'''No''':''"Oh… Well, if you change your mind, please help me."''

*If talked to again after answering no
:''"Hm? Are you going to help me?"''

'''[[Mahogany Town]]'''
*After answering yes at Lake of Rage
:''"<sc>{{p|Dragonite}}</sc>, <sc>{{m|Hyper Beam}}</sc>."''
:''"What took you, <player>? Just as I thought, that strange radio signal is coming from here."''
:''"The stairs are right here."''
:''"<Player>, we should split up to check this place. I'll go first."''

'''[[Team Rocket HQ|Rocket Hideout]]'''
*B2F
:''"Are you all right? Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> are hurt and tired. Here, give them some of my medicine."''
:''"<Player>, let's give it our best for <sc>Pokémon</sc>."''

:*After entering the generator room
::''"Hey! Don't be so selfish. Spread the fun around."''

:*After defeating Ariana
::''"That did it. We defeated all the <sc>Rockets</sc> here. But I'm concerned about the {{ga|Silver|young guy}} I battled in the process… Sorry, <player>. I saw how well you were doing, so I just hung back. Now all there is left to do is to turn off that odd radio signal. It's this machine that's causing all the problems. I don't see a switch on it… We have no choice. We have to make all the <sc>{{p|Electrode}}</sc> faint. That should stop this machine from transmitting that strange signal. It's no fault of the <sc>Pokémon</sc>, so it makes me feel guilty. <Player>, let's split the job."''

:*If player tries to leave their side
::''"Leave this side to me."''

:*After defeating all Electrode
::''"That odd signal has finally stopped. The <sc>Lake</sc> should be back to normal. You're the hero! Let me thank you on behalf of all the <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Oh, yes. You should take this. I found it here, but I don't have any need for it. That's <sc>{{m|Whirlpool}}</sc>. Teach it to a <sc>Pokémon</sc> to get across wild water. But keep this in mind. You can use that out of battle only with the <sc>Badge</sc> from <sc>[[Mahogany Gym]]</sc>. <player>… The journey to becoming the <sc>Pokémon Master</sc> is long and difficult. Knowing that, will you keep going? … I see. No, you're right. If you would give up that easily, you would have never chased that dream in the first place. I look forward to seeing you again!"''

*B3F
:''"It takes two password to get into the [[Giovanni|boss]]'s quarters. Those passwords are known only to a few <sc>Rockets</sc>. That <sc>Rocket</sc> there very graciously told me so. <Player>, let's go get the passwords."''

=====[[Indigo Plateau]]=====
* Before battle
:''"I’ve been waiting for you. <Player>! I knew that you, with your skills, would eventually reach me here. There's no need for words now. We will battle to determine who is the stronger of the two of us. As the most powerful trainer and as the <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>… I, <sc>Lance</sc> the dragon master, accept your challenge!"''

* Being defeated

===In the main series===
[[File:Lance anime.png|200px|thumb|Lance in the anime]]
Lance is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Indigo [[Elite Four]]. He is a member of an organization called the [[Pokémon G-Men]].

Lance's first appeared in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] started up an evil scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]], Lance showed up to investigate. He met {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} there, saving the children from some formidable {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.
[[File:Lance TR Disguise.png|left|180px|thumb|Lance disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}]]
Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a [[Red Gyarados]] so that they could learn how to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Lance was able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Lance also battled against {{TR|Tyson}} and his two Fearow. Despite being an elite member of Team Rocket, his Fearow were no match for Lance's Dragonite.

Ash was able to calm the Red Gyarados at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance caught it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]]. Before leaving, Lance promised Ash that he would take care of Gyarados.

He was seen in a flashback in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''.

Lance later appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where he helped stop the rampage of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Lance infiltrated Team Magma's submarine and confronted [[Shelly]], who suspected that he wasn't really a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}. Shortly after, he freed Ash, who had been captured after Pikachu absorbed the {{DL|Colored orbs|Red Orb}} that controls Groudon. Lance’s Pokémon were later sent into battle to help try to calm the two feuding Legendary Pokémon.

He made a cameo in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
Lance is primarily a villain in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. He has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

He first appears in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner. He then attacked Vermilion City and destroyed it, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo they could only battle together for about three minutes and with time running out Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow both of them were equally matched, Lance luring the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance then once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{p|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Tyranitar (which Silver promptly returned after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]). Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to find out what happened to its Trainer.

After chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]], Gold encounters an injured Lance there. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and wasn't able to meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not be able to connect with Arceus until he is able to connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}, just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone else who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} that were created on the Mystri Stage. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to go find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni, who was attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how Lance was defeated by a coward like Petrel. Lance reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

|desc=These {{p|Dragonair}} are Lance's mainly-used ones in his Dragonair army. One of them first appeared in a Surfing Contest as a prize. During the contest, Lance brainwashes the Dragonair and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|BubbleBeam}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}

|desc=Lance summoned {{p|Lugia}} to complete his plans of creating a utopia for Pokémon where humans that abuse Pokémon or destroy their habitats would be no more. However, this plan did not work as Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt. Surge|Trainers]] to fight the villain and free them. Eventually, after much turmoil, Lugia once again fled along with Ho-Oh.

Lugia's known moves are {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Psychic}}, and {{m|Aeroblast}}, and its Ability is {{a|Pressure}}.}}

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Lance PM.png|thumb|145px|Lance in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang was on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons that he threw at it. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals its story about how he met Lance. However, the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance ran off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

Clefairy tied {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters}} to a fishing line and threw him to the pool of water to find Gyarados. After Pikachu went inside Gyarados's mouth, Pikachu shocked it, defeating Gyarados.}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier RGB.png|frame|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}} in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide GSC.png|frame|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
[[File:Lance Team Magma.png|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a Team Magma Grunt]]
* In the games, Lance is depicted as being from [[Blackthorn City]], but the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicts Lance as being from [[Viridian Forest]] (albeit of Blackthorn descent).
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}} shows artwork of him with purple hair. This is probably due to the fact that the board game was made before Yellow was released.
* Though his type theme is Dragon Pokémon, in Generation II, only three of his Pokémon are actually of the Dragon type, all of them Dragonite.
** Additionally, the non-Dragon-type Pokémon used by Lance in the main series ({{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Charizard}}) are all part Flying-type, as well as partially or fully resembling dragons.
* In Generations II and IV, Lance's Dragonite are under level 55 when the player battles him the first time. The player cannot obtain a Dragonite lower than 55 through in-game gameplay except from distribution events.
* Lance is the only member of the Johto Elite Four who, on the second time through, still does not have a team of only his type, with Charizard and Gyarados not being Dragon types.
* In the {{Pkmn|anime}}, Lance has disguised himself as a member of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] twice, as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} in ''[[EP235|Talkin' Bout an Evolution]]'', and later as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}} in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle with in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}) so far. Furthermore, the Multi Battle with him against [[Ariana]] and a Grunt can be seen parallel to the Multi Battle the player has with [[Steven Stone]] in {{game|Emerald}} against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].
* Despite taking place three years later, Lance's Pokémon are at a lower level in Generation II than they were in Generation I. The same thing occurs with [[Bruno]].
* Lance appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a Dragonite in battle.
* From Generations {{Gen|I}} to {{Gen|III}}, all of his Pokémon know {{m|Hyper Beam}}.
* Although Lance is the Champion in all Johto-based games, he does not use any Generation II Pokémon in these games.
* Lance's Gyarados, Charizard and Dragonite can appear to level down, if the player decides to battle him and [[Clair]] in [[Dragon's Den]] before collecting all 16 Badges and the Elite Four upgrading their teams in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, as they are levels 68-75 in the [[Multi Battle]] and are levels 48-50 when re-challenged at the [[Indigo League]].
* In the manga, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create an utopia for Pokémon.
* In [[Generation IV]], all of his Pokémon except {{p|Aerodactyl}} suffer double weakness. {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Dragonite}} suffer double weakness against {{t|Ice}} type, {{p|Gyarados}} for {{t|Electric}} type, and {{p|Charizard}} with {{t|Rock}} type.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] of the [[Champions Tournament]].

Hall of Fame

2016-12-04T06:40:38Z

Wisesun: /* Generation IV onward */

:''For the books, see [[Pokémon: Sinnoh Hall of Fame]] and [[Pokémon Hall of Fame (book)]].''
----
{{incomplete|article|needs=Missing image/video gallery of inductions (including variants in third versions and remakes) from all handheld main series games aside from Platinum. Also needs information about Generation VI and layout maps from Generations V and VI}}
[[File:Hall of Fame B2W2.png|thumb|right|Entering the Hall of Fame in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}]]
The '''Hall of Fame''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|殿堂入り|でんどういり}}''' ''Induction to the Hall of Fame'') is a record kept by the [[Pokémon League]] of all the [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who have ever beaten the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]]. Various data regarding the victorious Trainer is recorded. The Hall of Fame is in a room accessible from the Champion's room, and may be accessed by people who have entered it by way of [[PC]].

==Data recorded==
In each game, data is recorded into the [[PC]], which is also shown during the games' ending scene. This is a list of which data is visible on the Hall of Fame PC option.

===Generation I===
Hall of Fame records are stored per individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. This means that a single member team is given a single record, while a six-member team is given six records. Each uniquely indexed record holds the Pokémon's species, [[level]] and [[nickname]]. The Pokémon's [[type]] is also displayed, however this value is generated from the record's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|species index]] itself.

All [[Generation I]] games store the {{player}}'s 50 most recent records in ascending order. Any further records overwrite the oldest record present. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 51 times, feats 2 through 51 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 300 Pokémon records to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, playing time, [[Pokémon Dollar|money]], sprite, and number of Pokémon obtained are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand. [[Professor Oak]] also evaluates the player's [[Pokédex]] before the credits roll.

===Generation II===
Hall of Fame records are again stored per individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Each uniquely indexed record now holds the Pokémon's species, [[level]], [[Individual values|IVs]], [[Trainer ID number]] and [[nickname]]. Although the IVs are not visible, they are used to display the Pokémon's [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{p|Unown}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Unown|form}}, if any of the three apply to the given specimen. The Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation II)|index number]] is also displayed, however this value is generated from the record's species index itself.

All [[Generation II]] games store the player's 30 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would again delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 31 times, feats 31 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 180 Pokémon records to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, Trainer ID number, playing time, sprite, and number of Pokémon obtained are displayed during the ending scene, along with each [[Party|team]] member's unique record beforehand. [[Professor Oak]] also evaluates the player's [[Pokédex]] before the credits roll.

===Generation III===
Hall of Fame records are now stored per each [[Party|team]], so as to save time traversing through records. This means that a single member team is given a single record, while a six-member is team is also given a single record. Each indexed record holds an entire team's data, with each unique team member entry consisting of its species, [[level]], [[nickname]], [[personality value]], and [[Trainer ID number]]. Personality values work exactly like [[Individual values|IVs]] in [[Generation II]], in that they are not visible, yet are used to display the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{p|Unown}} and/or {{p|Spinda}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences||form}}, if any of the three apply to the given specimen. The Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation III)|index number]] is once again displayed, however this value is generated from the record's species index itself.

All [[Generation III]] games store the player's 50 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 51 times, feats 51 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 50 team records, each with a maximum of 300 Pokémon total, to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, Trainer ID number, playing time and sprite are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand. Unlike previous [[generation]]s, however; each game's [[region]]al {{pkmn|Professor}} will not evaluate the [[Pokédex]]. Instead, the message <code>LEAGUE CHAMPION! CONGRATULATIONS!</code> is displayed before the credits roll.

===Generation IV===
Hall of Fame records are again stored per each [[Party|team]], so as to save time traversing through records. Each indexed record holds the date the feat took place, as well as an entire team's data, with each unique team member entry consisting of its species, [[level]], [[nickname]], [[personality value]], {{pkmn|Trainer}} name and all four learned [[move]]s. Personality values are not visible, yet are used to display the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[gender]], {{Shiny|alternate color}}, and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences||form}}, if any of the three apply to the given specimen.

All [[Generation IV]] games store the player's 30 most previous feats in a descending order. Any further feats would delete records in a {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. For example, if a player were to defeat the [[Elite Four]] 31 times, feats 31 through 2 would be displayed in that order, with 1 having been overwritten. This storage allows for a maximum of 30 team records, each with a maximum of 180 Pokémon total, to be displayed in the Hall of Fame at any given time.

In addition, the player's name, [[Trainer ID number]], playing time and sprite and the message <code>League Champion! Congratulations!</code> are displayed during the ending scene, along with each team member's unique record beforehand.

Additionally, when a team member is displayed during the ending scene, its original [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|catching location]] will be displayed. Whether this piece of information is stored within each team member's Hall of Fame record or not has yet to be researched.

===Generation V===
{{incomplete|section|Needs research on how the Hall of Fame data is stored}}
In addition to recording the player's [[party]] after defeating the Champion in all games of Generation V, the Hall of Fame in Pokémon Black and White also records data after the player defeats [[Ghetsis]]. A maximum of 15 entries can be recorded at any time, as well as the First Game Clear. The data is again deleted using the {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method. The data is stored in the "Records" section of the PC. Each entry includes the date the player entered the Hall of Fame, their Pokémon's nickname, gender, level, species, [[Original Trainer]], and moves.

===Generation VI===
After defeating the [[Elite Four]], the player's party is saved in the Hall of Fame. Stored data for each party member includes species, gender, level, nickname, Original Trainer, moves, and held items. Similarly to Generation V, a maximum of 15 [[Elite Four]] clears can be recorded at any time, as well as the First Game Clear. The data is deleted using the {{wp|FIFO|First In, First Out}} method.

==Rewards==
{{incomplete|section|ORAS}}
* In [[Generation I]], the player is granted access to [[Cerulean Cave]], while in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, it is one of the requirements needed to enter Cerulean Cave.
* In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player is given a {{key|II|S.S. Ticket}} for the [[S.S. Aqua]], effectively giving them access to the [[Kanto]] [[region]].
* In the [[Hoenn]]-based [[Generation III]] games and [[Sinnoh]]-based [[Generation IV]] games, players are rewarded the following for entering the Hall of Fame:
** In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a star will be placed on the player's {{ga|Trainer Card}}, changing its color.
** In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Champion Ribbon}} will be given to all of the player's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that get into the Hall of Fame. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Sinnoh Champ Ribbon}} will be given to all of the player's Pokémon that get into the Hall of Fame.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the {{ga|Barry|rival}}'s team at the [[Fight Area]] will be ten [[level]]s higher once the player enters the Hall of Fame twenty times. In {{game|Platinum}}, under the same conditions, the rival's team at the [[Survival Area]] will be twenty levels higher.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the player receives additional [[PC]] {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|wallpaper}}s to commemorate the conquest of the {{DL|Elite Four|Unova Elite Four}} and [[Team Plasma]], and another set for defeating the Elite Four in [[rematch]]es and the first defeat of [[Alder]]. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], one set of wallpapers is unlocked upon defeating [[Iris]] and the other upon capturing {{p|Kyurem}}.
* In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} the player is allowed to go back to the [[Giant Chasm]] to catch {{p|Kyurem}} and obtain the DNA Splicers.
* In {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the player is granted access to the {{kal|Unknown Dungeon}} where {{p|Mewtwo}} can be captured, along with its respective [[Mega Stone]]. {{p|Zygarde}} and {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, or {{p|Articuno}}, depending on the starter chosen at the start of the game, are also available for capture. Outside the player's house, [[Shauna]] will offer to trade any of the player's Pokémon for the unevolved form of her starter Pokémon, and upon reaching the Lumiose City train station, access to [[Kiloude City]], and by extension, the [[Battle Maison]], [[Friend Safari]], and rematches with the rival, will be granted. Finally, after completing certain conditions, the player's Mega Ring can be upgraded, and a sidequest involving Looker can be initiated in Lumiose City.
* In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the first time, the [[Delta Episode]] starts, and Birch gives the player a Johto starter. The second time, the player is given a Sinnoh starter.

===Generation VII===
For the first time, no physical Hall of Fame exists in the newly-formed [[Alola League]]. Records however are still kept by an old man who recalls each victory. He can be found standing outside Mount Lanakila.

==Glitches==
[[File:Halloffameglitches.png|thumb|160px|Examples of corrupted Hall of Fame entries caused by MissingNo.]]
* In the [[Generation I]] games, if the player encounters [[MissingNo.]] or other [[glitch Pokémon]], the Hall of Fame data may be corrupted by a [[glitch]] in the game. When MissingNo. has been seen on the save file, the player's Hall of Fame is badly corrupted with entirely different {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which will often consist of glitched characters and names. Players can often see particular Pokémon in the Hall of Fame, whether they have seen them in the [[Pokédex]] or not. This effect also works in {{game|Yellow}} when encountering glitch Pokémon through the [[Mew glitch]]. However, a way to avoid the effects of this glitch is to encounter MissingNo. or any other glitch Pokémon before entering the Hall of Fame, because encountering a MissingNo. only affects the teams already registered in the Hall of Fame. Players can also defeat the Elite Four multiple times after having encountered MissingNo., as the game will automatically overwrite older Hall of Fame entries after the Elite Four is defeated 20 times.
* In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, performing the [[Dokokashira door glitch]] allows the {{player}} to quickly complete the game by forcing the next door to take them to another location; this can include the Hall of Fame room. This extremely hazardous and game-breaking glitch was removed from {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, causing it to not be present in the translated {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* In earlier versions of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the game would sometimes freeze after recording the player's team data in the Hall of Fame; this glitch was patched out in the Version 1.2 update on December 3, 2014, 12 days after the games' initial release.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Palace of Victory.png|thumb|200px|The Palace of Victory]]
===In the main series===
The Hall of Fame's only appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}} was in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. After beating {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, the Head Leader of the [[Orange League]], {{Ash}} earned a spot in the [[Palace of Victory]], which is also known as the Orange League Hall of Fame. A photo of the winning {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are kept on display.
{{right clear}}
[[File:Hall of Fame PO.png|thumb|230px|The Hall of Fame in Pokémon Origins]]
===In Pokémon Origins===
The Hall of Fame appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'' after {{OBP|Red|Origins}} defeated {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} and became the Pokémon League Champion. Much like in the games, Red was led to the Hall of Fame by Professor Oak, after which Red's Pokémon's data was recorded and displayed on a screen. The Hall of Fame contained numerous portraits of all the previous Champions and their Pokémon [[party|teams]].
{{right clear}}

==Trivia==
* The "Congratulations" screen in the [[Generation V]] games shows the player with one of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; After showing one battle animation cycle, it rotates the Pokémon off-screen to the left and the next Pokémon takes its place from the right. This is similar to what occurs in the title screen of {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}.

The '''Pokémon League''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリーグ''' ''Pokémon League'') of [[Alola]] is the location of the region's {{DL|Elite Four|Alola Elite Four}}, who may only be challenged after clearing all seven [[Island challenge]]s and all four [[Island Kahuna]]s. It is located at the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]] on [[Ula'ula Island]].

==Structure==
The League is built at the summit of Mount Lanakila over where the final island challenge was used to be held. According to [[Kukui]], it is built on the highest place in Alola and closest to the sun{{sup/7|S}}/moon{{sup/7|M}} in order to honor and respect {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}.

The Main Chamber is a large room shaped in a half-circle with paths leading to each Elite Four member's Chamber. When a member of the Elite Four is defeated, a light will flow from that Chamber to a platform in the Main Chamber. Once all four Chambers feed light into the Main Chamber, the platform will teleport the player to the Champion's Chamber.

Following the tradition since [[Generation V]], the Elite Four can be challenged in any order.

===Fighting Chamber===
The Fighting Chamber can be accessed through the leftmost path of the Main Chamber. In the Fighting Chamber, Hala greets the player as one of the trainers chosen to reign as Elite Four in Alola. Two fists made of light then emerge from the pedestal behind Hala and the arena becomes closed off, preventing the player from leaving.

===Flying Chamber===
The Flying Chamber can be accessed through the rightmost path of the Main Chamber.

===Champion Chamber===
The Champion Chamber is located at the topmost part of the league, surrounded by transparent crystal-like windows, which shows the scenery of sky and land of Alola clearly. The arena is shaped the same like the ones in the Elite Four Chambers, but instead of pedestals where the Elite Four stand at the other side of the arena, a champion throne exists. Once the player sits down at the throne, Kukui will appear and challenge the player to ensure the player's capability as Alola's first champion, and as the celebration for the beginning of the new Alola Pokémon League. Once the player attains the title of Champion, the incumbent will simply approach the throne and take his or her seat, awaiting the arrival of the next challenger.

The '''Pokémon League''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリーグ''' ''Pokémon League'') of [[Alola]] is the location of the region's {{DL|Elite Four|Alola Elite Four}}, who may only be challenged after clearing all seven [[Island challenge]]s and all four [[Island Kahuna]]s. It is located at the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]] on [[Ula'ula Island]].

==Structure==
The League is built at the summit of Mount Lanakila over where the final island challenge was used to be held. According to [[Kukui]], it is built on the highest place in Alola and closest to the sun{{sup/7|S}}/moon{{sup/7|M}} in order to honor and respect {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}.

The Main Chamber is a large room shaped in a half-circle with paths leading to each Elite Four member's Chamber. When a member of the Elite Four is defeated, a light will flow from that Chamber to a platform in the Main Chamber. Once all four Chambers feed light into the Main Chamber, the platform will teleport the player to the Champion's Chamber.

Following the tradition since [[Generation V]], the Elite Four can be challenged in any order.

===Fighting Chamber===
The Fighting Chamber can be accessed through the leftmost path of the Main Chamber. In the Fighting Chamber, Hala greets the player as one of the trainers chosen to reign as Elite Four in Alola. Two fists made of light then emerge from the pedestal behind Hala and the arena becomes closed off, preventing the player from leaving.

===Champion Chamber===
The Champion Chamber is located at the topmost part of the league, surrounded by transparent crystal-like windows, which shows the scenery of sky and land of Alola clearly. The arena is shaped the same like the ones in the Elite Four Chambers, but instead of pedestals where the Elite Four stand at the other side of the arena, a champion throne exists. Once the player sit down at the throne, Kukui will appear and challenge the player to ensure the player's capability as Alola's first champion, and as the celebration for the beginning of the new Alola Pokémon League. Once the player attains the title of Champion, the incumbent will simply approach the throne and take his or her seat, awaiting the arrival of the challenger.

The '''Pokémon League''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリーグ''' ''Pokémon League'') of [[Alola]] is the location of the region's {{DL|Elite Four|Alola Elite Four}}, who may only be challenged after clearing all seven [[Island challenge]]s and all four [[Island Kahuna]]s. It is located at the summit of [[Mount Lanakila]] on [[Ula'ula Island]].

==Structure==
The League is built at the summit of Mount Lanakila over where the final island challenge was used to be held. According to [[Kukui]], it is built on the highest place in Alola and closest to the sun{{sup/7|S}}/moon{{sup/7|M}} in order to honor and respect {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}.

The Main Chamber is a large room shaped in a half-circle with paths leading to each Elite Four member's Chamber. When a member of the Elite Four is defeated, a light will flow from that Chamber to a platform in the Main Chamber. Once all four Chambers feed light into the Main Chamber, the platform will teleport the player to the Champion's Chamber.

Following the tradition since [[Generation V]], the Elite Four can be challenged in any order.

===Fighting Chamber===
The Fighting Chamber can be accessed through the leftmost path of the Main Chamber. In the Fighting Chamber, Hala greets the player as one of the trainers chosen to reign as Elite Four in Alola. Two fists made of light then emerge from the pedestal behind Hala and the arena becomes closed off, preventing the player from leaving.

===Champion Chamber===
The Champion Chamber is located at the topmost part of the league, surrounded by transparent crystal-like windows, which shows the scenery of sky and land of Alola clearly. The arena is shaped the same like the ones in the Elite Four Chambers, but instead of pedestals where the Elite Four stand at the other side of the arena, a champion throne exists. Once the player sit down at the throne, Kukui will appear and challenge the player to ensure the player's capability as Alola's first champion, and as the celebration for the beginning of the new Alola Pokémon League.

'''Gumshoos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デカグース''' ''Dekagūsu'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Yungoos}} when [[level]]ed up in the [[Time|day]] starting at level 20.

==Biology==
Gumshoos is a long-bodied Pokémon similar to a mongoose. While it moves on all fours, it is capable of standing on its hind legs with its hands locked behind its back, similar to a human. Most of its coat is brown with a yellow underside that extends over the top of its tail. It has an additional yellow stripe that starts on its forehead and ends between its shoulders. There are tufts of fur near its shoulders, hips, and around the base of its tail. These tufts in combination with its yellow underside create the impression of an open {{wp|trenchcoat}}. Its ears are rounded with a small notch, and are located on the sides of its head. It has a short snout with a pink nose, a large mouth full of pointed teeth, eyes nearly hidden under its yellow stripe, and tufts of yellow fur on its chin. There are three black claws on each of its four short legs. Despite its length, Gumshoos is thick bodied and has a wide, flat tail with longer fur on the tip.

Gumshoos hunts by waiting along its prey's known travel routes. Due to its tenacious personality and ability to withstand intense hunger, it is able to wait for its prey for long periods without eating. Once the sun sets, this Pokémon's stamina is depleted and it will fall asleep where it stands.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/gumshoos/</ref> It is particularly fond of {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}} as prey, but rarely encounters them due to its diurnal nature.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Gumshoos appears to be based on a {{wp|mongoose}} and a detective.

====Name origin====
Gumshoos may be a combination of ''gumshoe'' (detective) and ''mongoose''.

Dekagūsu may be a combination of でか ''deka'' (detective) and ''mongoose''.

====Resemblance to Donald Trump====
In the months leading up to the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon, various news agencies and fan-based websites alike commented on the physical resemblance between Gumshoos and the then-United States Republican Party presidential candidate in {{wp|United States presidential election, 2016|2016}} (and eventually President-elect) {{wp|Donald Trump|Donald Trump}}. In response to the claims that Gumshoos was based on Trump, both [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Shigeru Ohmori]] refuted such claims, though they both admitted they saw the resemblance.<ref>[http://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2016/10/20/it-turns-out-that-gumshoos-from-pokemon-sun-and-moon-is-not-based-on-donald-trump/#124a61e650f6]</ref>

'''Lusamine''' (Japanese: '''ルザミーネ''' ''Lusamine'') is the head of the [[Aether Foundation]] and the true main antagonist of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. She is the {{cat|Trainers with unique classes|only character}} in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Aether President''' (Japanese: '''エーテルだいひょう''' ''Aether Representative'').

==In the games==
{{Spoilers}}

Lusamine appears in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. She is introduced after the [[Akala]] Grand Trial, when [[Hau]] and the player travel to [[Aether Paradise]].

As president of the [[Aether Foundation]], Lusamine claims to love all Pokémon, be they native to the [[Alola]] region or not. While the player and Hau are conversing with her in the conservation area, an Ultra Wormhole appears, in which [[Nihilego]] emerges. After the player fights it, she claims she will find it and love it like the other Pokémon in her care. Once Hau mentions [[Lillie]], she gives a surprised expression and tries to not acknowledge her, foreshadowing the later events that would unfold.

Towards the end of the game, [[Plumeria]] remarks to Lillie that [[Team Skull]] are not the only thieves in Alola, and that Lillie ought to return [[Cosmog]]. When Hau, [[Gladion]], and the player arrive at Aether Paradise, all the employees are suddenly hostile to them, including [[Faba]], who had locked down Lusamine's office under her orders. There are also a number of Team Skull grunts present, implying a joint effort between the two groups and revealing a secondary villainous team.

When Hau and the player leave Gladion to deal with [[Guzma]], they find Lillie in the same room as Lusamine, with the former begging Lusamine to come to her senses. Lusamine is not fazed by it, and berates Lillie for leaving her and claims she was never her daughter, before teleporting into another room via a pad hidden behind her mirror. Lillie joins Hau and the player, and teleports into the room her mother went to. When they arrive, Lusamine taunts them to come closer. Afterwards, the trio is horrified to see that she has a collection of dead frozen Pokémon scattered about the room.

Gladion arrives to Lusamine's disgust, as he had stolen [[Type: Null]] and ran away from her. He does not try to reason with her, deciding it is impossible at this point. Lusamine, frustrated, exclaims that she gave all her love to her children, only for them to run away. Cosmog is then revealed to be inside a cube, in which Lillie pleads her not to use its power, as it would die. Lusamine shows no care towards her statements, and uses the cube anyway, opening up a large wormhole in the room, and multiple others on the various islands of [[Alola]]. Guzma arrives, asking Lusamine whether the experiment was a success. When she says it was successful, they both jump into the wormhole and disappear with said portal.

She is later encountered in [[Ultra Space]], where Guzma has given up working with her because of his newfound fear since Nihilego possessed him, and claims she is immune to reason at this point. Lillie disagrees, and runs off to confront her mother. When they arrive at an open terrace, she is nowhere to be found, only to phase into visibility and appear sitting on a rock in front of them. Lillie continues what she was saying to her mother back at Aether Paradise, along with trying to persuade her to come back to Alola.

Guzma turned out to be correct, as Lusamine says she would rather not come back to Alola, and that Lillie "could not even be that stupid". She boasts about how Ultra Space is beautiful and all she needs in life, and that Lillie became ugly after leaving her and making friends with the player. Lusamine then turns her attention to the player, in which she immediately battles them, but not before merging with a Nihilego to become a pseudo-beast herself.

After losing, Lusamine becomes enraged and attempts to strike Lillie with one of many large tentacles she has control of. Lillie calls out to {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}, who proceeds to use their signature move on Lusamine, separating her from Nihilego. Before passing out, she asks Lillie when she started becoming beautiful. At the end of the game, Lillie tells the player that Lusamine has largely recovered from the neurotoxins and is remorseful of her actions, and that she even tried to come to the player's victory celebration. Lillie then leaves for the [[Kanto]] region to seek ailment for her mother from [[Bill]] (who, like Lusamine, has been combined with a Pokémon before).

'''Professor Kukui''' (Japanese: '''ククイ博士''' ''Dr. Kukui'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] from the [[Alola]] region, as well as the founder of Alola's [[Alola League|Pokémon League]].

==In the games==
Professor Kukui is a passionate man who lives in the {{player}}'s new [[hometown]]. His area of expertise is {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[move]]s, and is known to take direct hits from them if he thinks he can learn something about them. In his youth, Kukui participated in the [[island challenge]] with his childhood friend, [[Molayne]]. Afterwards, he traveled to [[Kanto]], where he challenged the [[Kanto League]] and eventually made his way the [[Indigo Plateau]], but his Elite Four challenge ended after losing to [[Lance]]. It is unclear which iteration of the Kanto League he challenged. He is married to [[Professor Burnet]].

Professor Kukui also frequents the [[Battle Royal Dome]] under the masked alias '''The Masked Royal''' (Japanese: '''ロイヤルマスク''' ''Royal Mask''). As the Royal, Kukui invites the player, [[Hau]], and [[Gladion]] to participate in a [[Battle Royal]] with him.

On top of [[Mount Hokulani]], the professor directs the player's attention to the other mountain on [[Ula'ula Island]], [[Mount Lanikila]]. It is here that Kukui plans to build Alola's own {{al|Pokémon League}}. Kukui believes that the time has come for Alola to make a name for itself in the world, and that establishing a [[Pokémon League]] will help achieve that. He then introduces the player to Molayne.

Later, after the trial of [[Hokulani Observatory]], the player is asked by Molayne to return the {{key|VII|Professor's Mask}} to Kukui, who is at [[Malie Garden]]. There, Kukui is confronted by the boss of [[Team Skull]], [[Guzma]]. He calls both the professor and himself "fellow rejects who never could become [[Trial Captain|captains]]." The boss then criticizes Kukui's idea of building a Pokémon League. Kukui then reveals he chose not to become a captain because he had other goals to pursue. Those goals are what lead him to build the League. The professor then asks the player to battle Guzma. The player wins, and Guzma leaves. Kukui thanks the player by giving them the [[Z-Crystal]] for the final evolution of the [[starter Pokémon]] they chose; {{DL|Z-Crystal|Decidium Z}}, {{DL|Z-Crystal|Incinium Z}}, {{DL|Z-Crystal|Primarium Z}} for {{p|Decidueye}}, {{p|Incineroar}}, and {{p|Primarina}}, respectively. He also takes back the mask, while continuing to deny he is The Masked Royal.

Much later, the Professor greets the player at the gates to the now completed Pokémon League. Kukui welcomes the player, and if {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}} is in their [[party]], Kukui will share a few words with the [[Legendary Pokémon]], as well. Once the player enters the League gates, Kukui explains how the Elite Four challenge works, and wishes the player luck.

Upon defeating all four members of the Elite Four, the player makes their way to the Champion Chamber, and sit on the throne. However, Kukui approaches the player, saying they have one more challenge to complete before they can rightfully take their place as {{pkmn|Champion}}. Professor Kukui challenges them to a battle for the Champion's throne, acting as the final battle of the player's Pokemon League challenge. He uses the final evolution of the {{pkmn2|starter}} the player's choice is weak to. After being defeated, Kukui congratulates the player, and names them the first ever Champion of the the Alola Pokémon League, entering them in the [[Hall of Fame]].

:''"Hey there, [[Hau]]! Who's that with you?"''
:''"Woo, that's pretty cool!"''
:''"Nice to meet you, Sun! The name's Kukui. I hope we can be friends!"''
:''"That's right, yeah! I let myself get hit with all kinds of [[move]]s so I can test their [[power]]!"''
:''"That came right out of the blue! What's up, Hau?"''
:''"I see... I wouldn't want you to be in any trouble if you got attacked again."''
:''"You wanna go through a [[Island challenge|trial]] to make yourself stronger?"''
::'''Sure, I'll try it!''': ''"Totally focused on {{pkmn|training}} before I even tell you what it is, yeah? I respect that! Just like the focus of {{p|Machamp}}, the {{pkmn|category|Superpower Pokémon}}, using a {{m|Focus Blast}}!"''
::'''A trial?'''
:''"Trials are a custom we have here in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. Young boys and girls go through them to get stronger as {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and to get closer to their Pokémon."''
:''"Well, whenever you're ready, come on out to where we'll hold the trial—Ten Carat Hill! Woo!"''
:''"That guy over there will take you out to Ten Carat Hill when you're ready!"''

;[[Ten Carat Hill]]

:''"[[Wild Pokémon]] will jump right out of the tall grass at you! You're a Pokémon Trainer, yeah, so you can battle alongside your partner, {{p|Greninja}}! On the other hand, if you don't want to run into any wild Pokémon, you should avoid walking through the [[tall grass]]. All right, I'll be waiting for you inside Ten Carat Hill!"''

;Ten Carat Hill Trial Site

:''"Hey there, Sun! I've been waiting for you! Let me explain the trial for you."''
:''"There're four Pokémon on Ten Carat Hill. Two are called {{p|Jangmo-o}} and two are called {{p|Hakamo-o}}. Your goal in my trial will be to [[Photography|photograph]] all of them, yeah! Take this {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Poké Finder}}—you'll need it to take the pictures."''
:''"If you've got a Poke Finder, you can take pictures in places where you thing you'll find Pokémon."''
:''"My {{p|Pikachu}} is really strong, too! He's every bit as strong as your Greninja, so you can count on him to help you out with your trial!"''
:''"Go find a Jangmo-o first! There should be one hiding somewhere close by."''
* After finding one Jangmo-O
:''"You've successfully photographed one, yeah! Sorry, there's one thing I forgot to mention! When you take a picture of a Jangmo-o, it'll get startled and attack you. What's more, they're {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, yeah, so they can be tough, scary opponents! You've got your Greninja and my Pikachu with you, though, so you should be fine! Just 3 more until you complete the trial! Have fun out there taking pictures!"''

;[[Ten Carat Hill]] Caldera

:''"I can't believe you beat the [[Totem Pokémon]], Sun! You and that team are awesome! Woo! It looks like you took pictures of all four Pokémon, including the Totem Pokémon! You cleared the trial! Congrats, Sun! I'll give you a [[Z-Ring]] as a present!"''
:''"One more thing! Take this [[Z-Crystal]], too!"''
:''"Once you've got a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal, yeah, you can use really awesome Pokémon moves—[[Z-Move]]s!"''
:''"Don't sweat it, Sun! Pikachu can use Z-Power now! But you can only use it once in a battle! Are you gonna face off against her with Greninja's {{m|Water Shuriken}}? Or are you gonna go with Pikachu, which can use Z-Power?"''
* After defeating [[Plumeria]]
:''"What a great match, Sun! Woo! Pikachu, thanks for helping him out with that trial!"''
:''"You drew out the power of the Pokémon and showed us the best moves you could, yeah! Sun, you're gonna be a wonderful Pokémon Trainer!"''
:''"Well, the two of you should both train up during your island challenge!"''
:''"Great idea, yeah! As a welcome gift, it'll be my treat!"''

;[[Hau'oli City]] Shopping District - After finishing the trial

:''"Allow me to congratulate you again on clearing the trial, Sun! Let me give you all the good stuff you'll need to [[Poké Ride|ride]] Pokémon!
:''"Here in the Alola region, Pokémon will lend you their strength by letting you ride on their backs! Sun, I think it's time for you to ride on a powerful Pokémon that can run across the land and smash right through rocks!"''
:''"Let me read you the manual. "Press Ⓨ to turn on your Ride Pager! Hold Ⓑ to dash!" This is your Riding Wear! It's the special outfit you wear when riding Pokémon, yeah. When you ride {{p|Tauros}}, your world gets a whole lot bigger! Maybe you could even find something new if you head out to Ten Carat Hill...

Pokémon Champion

[[File:Champion Room B2W2.png|frame|The Champion's Room in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], where Trainers may defeat the Champion and win the Pokémon League]]
A '''Pokémon League Champion''' (Japanese: '''リーグ{{tt|優勝者|ゆうしょうしゃ}}''' ''League Champion''), normally referred to as simply '''Champion''' or '''Pokémon Champion''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオン''' ''Champion''), is the highest known level of rank for a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. The title is also colloquially referred to as '''League Champ''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリーグのちょうてん''' ''Pokémon League's Greatest'').

It usually refers to a Trainer who has completed a [[Pokémon League]] by collecting all the necessary [[Badge]]s, and either winning a regional Pokémon tournament or defeating the [[Elite Four]] and the previous Champion (if there is one). [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] share a Champion, while other regions have their own. If a Champion is defeated, they must relinquish their title to the victor; however, the victor can refuse the title, as [[N]] did in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

The Champion is assumed to have to periodically defend the title against challengers, although this is never explicitly stated.

==In the games==
Champion is a [[Trainer class]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is the title held by the Trainer who last defeated the [[Elite Four]] and the previous Pokémon Champion. Each Champion is always stronger than the Elite Four members and most other Trainers, and has a party of six Pokémon to test their opponents' strength. Like Elite Four members, they employ the use of strong healing items. To challenge the Champion, Trainers must defeat all four Elite Four members without leaving the Pokémon League area, and cannot access the Pokémon League [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Poké Mart]] until after defeating the Champion or losing at any point during the challenge. If a challenger is defeated by the Champion, just like the Elite Four, they must start over.

Since in every [[core series]] game the player goes on to defeat the standing Champion, every [[player character]] is considered a Champion and subsequently entered into the [[Hall of Fame]], along with the player's [[party]]. However, for players, becoming the Champion is mostly a symbolic honor, as they are unable to battle challengers or take up any other league duties. In addition, the former Champion will still remain at the [[Pokémon League]], retaining the title of Pokémon Champion at least in newer generations (in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, {{ga|Blue}} [[Blue (game)#Indigo Plateau|clearly]] [[Blue (game)#Indigo Plateau 2|stated]] his reign was over). The player may battle the Elite Four and the former Champion as many times as they like, and on each success will be re-entered into the Hall of Fame with whatever team was used in that challenge.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Cynthia tells the player that once every few years, the Champions from all the regions come together and battle to find the strongest among them. In the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, which takes place 2 years later, all the Champions the player battles in previous games participate in the [[Champions Tournament]]. This tournament does not include player characters, with the exception of {{ga|Red}}.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, the {{al|Pokémon League}} of [[Alola]], having just been established, has no Champion. Instead, [[Professor Kukui]], its founder, stands in as the final obstacle the player must overcome before becoming the league's first Champion. In another first for the series, the player can receive challenges from non-player characters, and can defend their title. The player is allowed to keep the nominal title of Champion if defeated.

Known non-player Champions in the games:

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
In the [[Pokémon anime]], there can only be one regional Champion at a time, although the case of the less conventional [[Orange League]] is unclear. While {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can freely request a battle from the Champion, much more popular events are the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, which can be entered by Trainers with at least eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. The winner of these tournaments may enter the Champion League to face off the regional [[Elite Four]] members and, if successful, the League Champion. Most members of the {{DL|Elite Four|Sinnoh Elite Four}} have also been shown challenging [[Cynthia]] for the title.

So far, the only mentions of the Champion League have been in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'' and ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]''.

In addition to gathering eight Gym Badges, the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] is known to accept Trainers passing the [[EP056|Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] and those graduating from [[Pokémon Tech]]. There are also smaller tournaments, such as the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], where the winner gets to battle the League Champion straight away. [[Trip]] and {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}} were allowed to battle [[Alder]] and [[Diantha]], respectively, by winning such competitions.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:PS265.png|thumb|220px|Wallace wearing the "Champion's Cloak"]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the Champion of each region is the winner of an elimination tournament held every three years in each region. In the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, it was determined that the winners of each tournament would have to face the [[Elite Four]], each a former champion themselves, before challenging the Champion. The main characters that took part in a Pokémon League tournament so far are {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Black}}, and {{adv|Red}}. Of the four, Red and Black both won a tournament, though only Red was formally given the title of Champion.

==Trivia==
* In every Pokémon game to date, the player meets the Champion before challenging the Elite Four.
* In French localizations, Gym Leader is translated to ''Champion'', while Champion is translated to ''Maître'', meaning "master".
* [[Diantha]] has the highest leveled Pokémon out of all the Champions battled the first time the Pokémon League is challenged. Her lowest level is 64, and her highest is 68.
** Although [[Alder]] has Pokémon above level 70, he is not battled as Champion until the post-credits rematch against the {{un|Pokémon League}}.
* [[Lance]] has the lowest leveled Pokémon out of all the Champions. His lowest level Pokémon is level 44 in [[Generation II]], and level 46 in [[Generation IV]]. His highest is level 50 in both generations.

'''Lysandre''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|フラダリ|Furadari}}''' ''Fleur-de-lis'') is the boss of [[Team Flare]] and the primary antagonist of [[Pokémon X and Y]], who seeks to create a beautiful world. He is also the owner of [[Lysandre Labs]], the company that created the [[Holo Caster]]. He is the only character in the games to have the [[Trainer class]] '''Team Flare Boss''' (Japanese: '''フレアだんボス''' ''Team Flare Boss'').

==In the games==
The player first meets Lysandre in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in [[Lumiose City]] seeing potential in them, and then later in Café Soleil where he is seen talking to [[Diantha]] about her acting career. He discusses with her about the idea of eternal beauty, but she quickly dismisses the idea, claiming that she does not look for such a thing, much to Lysandre's annoyance. After this, he spots the player, where he speaks about his dream of a beautiful world.

Following this, Lysandre doesn't reappear until much later, after the player has defeated [[Clemont]] for his or her fifth Badge. This time, he speaks about the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] who nearly vaporized all life in the region 3,000 years ago by usage of a weapon. He also speaks about Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} role in the creation of the [[ultimate weapon]], as well as their role in the creation of life and destruction as a whole. After this, Lysandre will regularly communicate with the player through the [[Holo Caster]], monitoring their progress, and constantly showing his vision for a beautiful world as well as asking him/her to reconsider his proposal and join him on his cause.

Lysandre then appears after the player has received his or her seventh Badge. At this point, it is revealed through his Holo Caster message that he is the leader of [[Team Flare]], and that he plans to use the weapon which he spoke about earlier in order to eliminate anyone not part of [[Team Flare]], surprising both the player and their neighbor. The player later confronts Lysandre in person at the lab beneath his café as he wishes to test the player's resolve, and is then battled and defeated. Lysandre admires the player's resolve and strength and instructs him that if he wishes to stop him, he must get the elevator key from one of four Team Flare's scientists the player already met, while he retreats underground.

After the player obtains the Key and descends further into the lab, he/she meets with Lysandre who is speaking with a tall man behind bars known as AZ, who Lysandre introduces as someone who "shares the name of the previous King of Kalos" as well as possessing the key of the ultimate weapon. After AZ tells the player the tragedy left by the ultimate weapon and asks him/her to stop the device from being used, Lysandre invites the player deeper underground if he/she wishes to stop him. The player descends and he/she meets Lysandre talking with [[Xerosic]]. Lysandre then tells the player to battle Xerosic and if he/she is successful against the scientist, then they will stop their scheme. Even though the player defeats Xerosic, this unfortunately does not stop him from unleashing the weapon on Kalos. (If the player chooses the blue button he will activate the weapon by remote control, otherwise the player activates the weapon)

Lysandre is later found again at the site of the ultimate weapon in [[Geosenge Town]] where the player's rival questions him about his extreme measures to fix the world, which he replies that they are the only possible solution for he thinks humans are inherently evil and greedy. He uses the analogy of them competing over their [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]] as an example that when something cannot be shared, people will fight for it, for someone must live with it and some without and as such, more tragedies are likely to happen and therefore, the only solution is to reduce the human population. When further questioned about Pokémon, he tearfully claims that Pokémon, while magnificent beings, are condemned to be used by humans and, for the greater good, are best annihilated.

He is then battled again as he simply seeks to stall for time against the player. The player defeats Lysandre once again, and he shows further admiration for the player's strength. He then challenges the player to travel deeper into the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop the weapon despite his belief that it is already too late, but multiple members of Team Flare are waiting in ambush on the lower floors. After defeating them, the player reaches Xerneas or Yveltal. The legendary Pokémon is then battled and caught by the player, seemingly disabling the weapon. Lysandre returns, having augmented his body with cybernetic attachments and a visor similar to those worn by his followers, and he declares that he will take the legendary Pokémon back and complete his plan. Now wielding a Mega Ring of his own, he engages the player in a final battle.

After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and his/her friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to force immortality on the player and their friends{{sup/6|X}}/kill everyone in the building{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. The blast from the weapon destroys the building and seemingly buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble. As a result, Team Flare disbands. It is unknown if Lysandre survived the impact of the building collapse.

Later on in the game, an NPC in [[Snowbelle City]] who is an old friend of Lysandre mentions that Lysandre had noble intentions and did his best to help people in need, but was eventually convinced of humanity's stupidity, along with his own limitations which resulted in him becoming a misanthrope.

===Quotes===
'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Sycamore Pokémon Lab|Sycamore Pokémon Laboratory}}'''
:''"So, I will be able to meet them soon, then."''
:''"The children chosen by the professor… I wonder what potential they have."''
:''"Oh! You received a [[Pokédex]] from the professor then… How wonderful! That is a wonderful thing, indeed. You are one of the chosen ones. I am Lysandre. I've tried to learn as much about Pokémon as I can to help build a brighter future. [[Professor Sycamore]] has taught me so much. Oh, I see you have a [[Holo Caster]]! Knowledge is power, after all. Put it to good use. Now listen! It is vital that this world become a better place. And the people and Pokémon chosen to make the world better must work tirelessly to achieve this goal. Well, I'll be off. Please give Professor Sycamore my best. My desire…it is for a more beautiful world!"''

'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Café Soleil}}'''
:''"You played a young girl so wonderfully in your debut on the silver screen. Wouldn't you rather remain young and beautiful forever and always play such roles?"''
:''"You were chosen to be a movie star, correct? Isn't it your duty to be ever beautiful? Everything beautiful should stay that way forever. I would make this world unchanging and eternal so all beauty will last forever.{{sup/6|X}}/I would end the world in an instant so that beauty never fades.{{sup/6|Y}} I can't stand the thought of the world becoming uglier."''
:''"Oh. Hello, <{{player}}>. This is [[Diantha]], one of the most accomplished movie stars in [[Kalos]]. She moves the multitudes with her excellent acting... Which is to say, she dedicates her life to making other people happy. Oh! If only everyone were like her--what a beautiful world this would be! If you'll excuse me."''

'''{{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}'''
:''"I would like to congratulate you as well. [[Mega Evolution]] is something I, too, would like to be able to use."''
:''"True. I'm a descendant of the king's younger brother. That being said, that story is 3,000 years old, so it might not be entirely reliable."''
:''"People can be divided into two groups. Those who give... And those who take... It's just as how the Kalos region's two Legendary Pokémon gave life and took life."''
:''"I want to be the kind of person who gives... But in this world, some foolish humans exist who would show their strength by taking what isn't theirs."''
:''"'''They're filth!'''"''
:''"Long, long ago, the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] sought to take everything for his own, and he created a terrible weapon. Then the fire of destruction was unleashed... That is the legend that has been passed down."''
:''"Kalos is beautiful right now! There will be no foolish actions if the number of people and Pokémon do not increase. That being said, the future isn't decided. You can't be sure each day will be like the one before."''
:''"What the king of Kalos did was reprehensible, but... The ultimate weapon did manage to wash the world clean of that era's filth."''
:''"Thank you for listening. Take {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock|that}} as an apology for my taking up your time."''

'''{{rt|15|Kalos}} ([[Holo Caster]])'''
:''"According to Professor Sycamore's research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once. The Pokémon then exhibits a level of power it could not attain through ordinary Evolution. What meaning can we draw from this? Do all people and Pokémon have such potential, or is it hidden within a chosen few?"''

'''[[Anistar City]] (Holo Caster)'''
:''"Pokémon Trainers. I come to you by the Holo Caster to make an important announcement. Listen well. Team Flare will revive the ultimate weapon, eliminate everyone who isn't in our group, and return the world to a beautiful, natural state. Unproductive fools are consuming our future... If nothing changes, the world will become ugly and conflicts will raze the land from end to end. I repeat. We will use the ultimate weapon and wipe the slate clean. I'm sorry, those of you who are not members of Team Flare, but this is adieu to you all."''

'''[[Lysandre Labs]]'''
*Before battle
:''"Welcome."''
:''"This world will eventually reach the point of no return... Saving the lives of all is impossible. Only the chosen ones will obtain a ticket to tomorrow. Do you want to have a ticket? Or, do you want to stop me? Show me in battle."''

*Being defeated
:''"Excellent! I can feel the fire of your convictions burning deep within your heart!"''

*After being defeated
:''"Wah ha ha! Your convictions, and those of your Pokémon, please me! You are here to stop me. But I ask you to wait. I tried to save people--and the world--with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect... The world was just too vast...and too full of fools that I couldn't save through my hard work alone... That's why I decided the only way to save the world was to take it all for myself. I don't expect that I will ever make you understand how I think and feel... Try to stop the ultimate weapon if you must, but to do so, you will have to explore our lab and have Pokémon battles with all you meet."''
:''"Oh, and as for the {{key|VI|Elevator Key}}, one of the Team Flare Scientists you've met on your journey has it."''
:''"Saving everything... The world is suffering because of this absurd dream..."''

*Basement
:''"That is AZ. He has the same name as a king that lived 3,000 years ago. And for some unknown reason, he had the key to the ultimate weapon hung around his neck. It's finally time. Follow me to my chambers."''
:''"The only thing left to do is put the plan in motion. I'm counting on you."''
:''"One push of a button, and we can activate the ultimate weapon from this room."''
:''"I believe being a chosen one means you have the potential to change the future! Whether we activate the ultimate weapon or leave it safely underground will rest upon if you actually have this potential or not."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Lysandre anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Lysandre in the anime]]
[[File:Lysandre and Pyroar.png|thumb|250px|right|Lysandre and Pyroar]]
Lysandre made his debut in the anime in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. Though he was not identified as the caller at the time, he contacted [[Alain]] via the Holo Caster, directing him to where a new Mega Stone could be found. He also was seen observing the power of Alain's Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X during its battle with [[Siebold]]'s Mega {{p|Blastoise}}.

He appeared again in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', in which he traveled to [[Hoenn]]. He intervened in Alain's battle with {{Steven}}, and introduced Alain and Steven properly to each other. It was revealed that in the past, he defeated Alain in a battle over an Ampharosite, then took Alain to [[Lysandre Labs]] and recruited him to work in a project to harness the energy of Mega Evolution for peaceful purposes. Lysandre was also the one who awarded Alain his Mega Ring and Charizardite X, though he asked Alain to not tell Professor Sycamore of the research, fearing that people with bad intentions would bring harm to him in order to obtain it. Later, he traveled with Alain, [[Mairin]] and Steven to a ruin, where they uncovered an ancient megalith. However, his research on the megalith accidentally summoned {{p|Rayquaza}}, who destroyed the area. After the encounter with Rayquaza, Lysandre discovered a similar energy reading to the megalith near [[Rustboro City]], and asked Alain to go there and investigate. He also covertly ordered Alain to keep a close eye on Steven, for the Hoenn {{pkmn|Champion}} had precious information on Mega Evolution.

He reappeared in [[SS032]] where he gave instructions to Alain and Steven. After [[Rayquaza]] defeated both [[Groudon]] and [[Kyogre]], he obtained a giant [[Key Stone]] using a submarine.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Lysandre Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Lysandre in Pokémon Adventures]]
Lysandre makes his first appearance in the {{chap|X & Y}}, where he is seen in Professor Sycamore's lab. The professor shows him a video of the battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} that happened in [[Vaniville Town]]. Lysandre notes from the footage that Xerneas can give life while Yveltal takes it. He asks Sycamore to give him a copy of the footage for further study.

After meeting with Professor Sycamore in Lumiose City, [[Trevor]] is sent to Lysandre Café to meet with Lysandre and get his broken Holo Caster repaired. As he and his friends wait for the repair job to be finished, Trevor notices Lysandre's silhouetted figure in a photo of the Vaniville Town incident. Trevor immediately becomes suspicious of Lysandre and fears that he may be behind the attack. Lysandre notices this behavior and asks to see the photo. When Trevor refuses, Lysandre sends his Pokémon out to threaten him. He is stopped by the arrival of Diantha, who uses her Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} to threaten Lysadre into backing off. Lysandre gets a call from Xerosic, who has discovered the tree form of Xerneas at {{rt|8|Kalos}} and asks whether or not to begin moving the tree to Team Flare's base. Lysandre hangs up the call and goes to leave on other business. He leaves Trevor's repaired Holo Caster on the desk and bids Diantha farewell. Later, he travels through the skies on top of his {{p|Gyarados}}. He notes that Gyarados is more excited than usual due to witnessing Mega Evolution with its own eyes. Lysandre assures Gyarados that it too will be able to Mega Evolve as he opens his hand to reveal a Mega Stone.

Later, Lysandre returns to Team Flare Secret HQ after Xerneas's tree form has been successfully transported. Xerosic presents Lysandre with the Lysandre Machine, which he forced a captive [[Clemont]] to build for them. Lysandre also receives a Mega Ring fitted with a Key Stone that Celosia stole from [[Korrina]]. He then activates the Lysandre Machine and prepares to use it to absorb Xerneas's energy an power the ultimate weapon. Later, Lysandre is interrupted by {{adv|X}}, who had broken into the headquarters in order to put a stop to Team Flare's plan. Lysandre battles with X and uses his Key Stone to Mega Evolve his Gyarados.

When X attacked the Team Flare Secret HQ, Lysandre used Gyarados to battle him and Mega Evolves it.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Lysandre (Flashfire 104)}}
[[File:LysandreFlashfire104.jpg|200px|Right|thumb|Full Art print of Lysandre]]
'''Lysandre''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Wild Blaze}} expansion and {{TCG|M Charizard-EX Mega Battle Deck}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Flashfire}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in Wild Blaze and Flashfire, with an illustration also by [[Ken Sugimori]]. With the same effect as {{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}} from the {{TCG|Base Set}}, Lysandre allows the player to switch the opponent's {{TCG|Active Pokémon}} with one of the opponent's {{TCG|Benched Pokémon}}.

{{main|Lysandre's Trump Card (Phantom Forces 99)}}
[[File:LysandreTrumpCardPhantomForces118.jpg|200px|Right|thumb|Full Art print of Lysandre's Trump Card]]
'''Lysandre's Trump Card''' was introduced as a Supporter card in the Japanese {{TCG|Phantom Gate}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Phantom Forces}} expansion. It received both a Regular Art and Full Art print, both featuring artwork by [[Hitoshi Ariga]]. This card features Lysandre using the visor and cybernetic attachments he used during his final appearance in ''Pokémon X and Y''. Lysandre's Trump Card causes both players to shuffle all cards in their discard piles, except for any copies of Lysandre's Trump Card, back into their decks.

==Trivia==
* Lysandre shares three Pokémon with [[Cyrus]], another leader of a [[Team Galactic|villainous team]]: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Honchkrow}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}. Their goal is also similar; both involve trying to wipe out everyone for some purpose and using Legendary Pokémon to achieve it.
** [[Xerosic]] and [[Mable]], two of his top scientists, possess a {{p|Crobat}} and a {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Weavile}}, respectively; all Pokémon that Cyrus had.
* Lysandre's cybernetic suit, the Lysandre Machine, was meant to be used to drain Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} power into the ultimate weapon.
* Lysandre's Gyarados knows {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Outrage}}, which it cannot learn in {{g|X and Y}}. The only way for Gyarados to know these moves in Pokémon X and Y is through [[Move Tutor]]s in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}} before being transferred through [[Pokémon Bank]], or through a Move Tutor in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* The background story of Lysandre told by an NPC in Snowbelle City is similar to the manga ''{{wp|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind}}'', where a king, who wants to save humanity and wanting peace for his peasants, eventually realizes their stupidity and grows to hate them, eventually becoming a tyrant.
* Lysandre's hairstyle was stylized to somewhat resemble a [[Gender differences#Pyroar|male]] {{p|Pyroar}}'s mane, one of his Pokémon.

[[File:Entei Book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a Legendary Pokémon, in the anime]]

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''伝説のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, generally featured prominently in the legends and myths of the Pokémon world.

'''Mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''幻のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon'') are a related but separate group of Pokémon seen so rarely that some question their very existence. This category consists solely of [[event Pokémon]]. No Mythical Pokémon is required to complete the Pokédex.

Prior to Generation V, the terms were considered to be the same in all but the Japanese releases.

==Characteristics of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon==
==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=93.13 |
Attack=106.21 |
Defense=99.42 |
SpAtk=111.51 |
SpDef=104.25 |
Speed=101.15 }}

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. Similarly, Mythical Pokémon cannot be obtained at all through normal gameplay, and must be obtained through events or trades. (Mythical Pokémon also cannot be traded over the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]] as of Generation VI.) The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}), and all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon except {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}} (and Manaphy only produces the unevolvable {{p|Phione}} when it breeds with Ditto).

No Legendary or Mythical Pokémon is known to [[Evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[Legendary trio]] or [[Legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them. There is one exception: {{p|Victini}}. Victini's [[Unova Pokédex]] number is #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon in the Pokédex.

===In the anime===
Legendary and Mythical Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the games and anime. For example, their {{wp|deity|godlike}} status is expressed in both the anime and the games, though in the anime they are shown to be able to breed, whereas in the games they cannot (though some, such as {{p|Latias}}, are implied to be ''able'' to breed and simply choose not to do so). In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], and other people who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, due both to their rarity and their superior power.

Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon via [[Poké Ball]]s or even as a non-owned Pokémon is not unheard of. An example of this is the fact that {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary golems}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} is another Trainer who has been shown to have a Legendary Pokémon in a Poké Ball, and is also the first Trainer shown to own a Mythical Pokémon, having a {{p|Darkrai}} and a {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] owned a {{p|Heatran}}. Finally, a [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the Pewter Gym under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball.

There are some cases in which Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, though they do not do so in the games. Some are neither immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}. The near death of {{mov|Giratina}} and {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} is also a debatable factor in the immortality of both groups of Pokémon. Only some, in fact, are often considered unique, these being {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Palkia}}, due to their roles in the creation of the Pokémon world and their respective regions. The other legendary Pokémon are simply just very rare and are not unique, but so uncommon that legends have been written about them (hence the term "legendary"). These legends can be heard spoken of in the anime or seen in the PokéDex. However, like real-world legends, these legends are commonly filled with exaggerations.

==List of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 39 are considered to be Legendary ({{#expr: (39/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%), and 12 (13 counting {{p|Phione}}) are considered to be Mythical ({{#expr: (12/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%; {{#expr: (13/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% counting Phione). Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one Legendary trio and one Legendary duo, with the notable exceptions of [[Generation V]], which introduced [[Swords of Justice|the first Legendary and Mythical quartet]] and no Legendary duo, and [[Generation VI]], which did not introduce a Legendary trio.

===Generation I===
The Legendary and Mythical Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[Legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}; art from a [[Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos (Warner Bros. promo)|TCG card]] by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]]]
The three Legendary birds, also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[Legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a [[Seasons|season]] (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}. They also appear in Generation VI {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kalos]] before heading to the [[Sea Spirit's Den]], where they can be battled and caught.

In the anime, the Legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{OBP|Lugia|M02}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[File:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]]]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist. Mewtwo is Legendary, while Mew is Mythical.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first Mythical Pokémon. In {{game|Emerald}}, a wild Mew can be found on [[Faraway Island]], an event-exclusive area. This is the only time a Mew has been legitimately able to be caught in the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been genetically modified from Mew in its Pokédex entries. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escaped from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

Mewtwo received two [[Mega Evolution]]s in [[Generation VI]], which increase its base stat total to 780, currently higher than any other Pokémon. Mega Mewtwo Y was featured in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

===Generation II===
More Legendary and Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9, as well as the second Mythical Pokémon. The Legendary and Mythical Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Eusine]] and {{ga|Lyra}} discover {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]]]]
Like the Legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These Legendary beasts, so named because their features are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. In the case of the latter, it is possible that these three would be the original three beasts, who created multiple descendants. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the Legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the Legendary beasts in a central role, with {{OBP|Entei|M03}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'' and {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on Legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.

====Tower duo====
[[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of Legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], the home of Lugia, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, they both flew away, Lugia resolving to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{key|IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which [[Shadow Lugia|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive Legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[Legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto. Likewise, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated have a father. This implies that at least some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the anime, unlike in the games.

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the creator of the Legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{key|IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop the [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon and clearing [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[File:Celebi Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|{{p|Celebi}} on its [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity. Celebi was the second Mythical Pokémon to be released.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[Trade|trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first Mythical Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward up until Generation V. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, [[Celebi (M04)|one]] accidentally brings [[Sam]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so. A {{OBP|Celebi|M13}} also played an important role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', in which [[Grings Kodai]] wanted to use the "ripple of time" created by Celebi's time travels to allow himself to get visions of the future.

===Generation III===
Many more Legendary and Mythical Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17, and the third Mythical Pokémon being released. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient Legendary Pokémon for the team's own use. Mythical Pokémon, however, remained unrelated to the games' storylines.

Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[Remakes]] of Generation III, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.

====Legendary golems====
{{main|Legendary golems}}
[[File:Regis.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn; as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}; and the [[Underground Ruins]] in [[Unova]].

In the anime, the [[Legendary golems (M08)|three Legendary golems]] starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

====Eon duo====
{{main|Eon duo}}
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

[[File:Mega Latias ORAS Trailer.png|250px|thumb|right|Mega {{p|Latios}} and Mega {{p|Latias}}]]
In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained [[Mega Evolution]]s. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma/Aqua, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and her/his subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon/Kyogre, the player receives an item called the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it. In the main series, {{si|Tobias}} used a Latios against Ash, as his second Pokémon in the first semi-final battle of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. A [[Nurse Joy]] had a Latias when testing the Pewter Gym in [[SS025]].

====Weather trio====
{{main|Weather trio}}
[[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be version mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have shaped the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes wrong, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the Legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective Legendary Pokémon, and only by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.

In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi AG anime.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
The third Mythical Pokémon to be released and the first introduced in Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc|bonus disc]] released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in which it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative. Jirachi made its TV debut in ''[[BW132|Searching for a Wish!]]'', during the [[Decolore Islands]] saga, when one emerged after a slumber of 1,000 years.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first Legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, Defense Forme in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will starting from [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]], [[Nacrene City]] in [[Unova]], [[Ambrette Town]] in [[Kalos]], and [[Fallarbor Town]] in [[Hoenn]]. Deoxys was also the second Mythical Pokémon introduced in Hoenn, although it eventually became a Legendary Pokémon.

In the games, Deoxys was originally only available on [[Birth Island]] when the {{DL|Event item|AuroraTicket}} is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all Mythical Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]]. As of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, however, Deoxys is now available without an event.

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', in which its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', in which Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

Deoxys is the only Mythical Pokémon to ever lose its Mythical status.

===Generation IV===
Nine more Legendary Pokémon and four Mythical Pokémon (five counting Phione) were added in [[Generation IV]], the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon and six Mythical Pokémon (seven counting Phione). Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon and three of the new Mythical Pokémon (four counting Phione) are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Pokédex.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on any Pokémon's [[Base stats|base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched—never surpassed—in Generation II and Generation III. In Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats was no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
[[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]
The lake guardians, [[Sinnoh]]'s native Legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. [[Cyrus]] summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation through Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Creation trio====
{{main|Creation trio}}
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|180px|thumb|right|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The Legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the creation trio consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a feature he hates about humanity. In Diamond and Pearl, Dialga or Palkia can be caught at [[Spear Pillar]], while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at the Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

====Lunar duo====
[[File:Cresselia and Darkrai DP4 artwork.png|thumb|175px|left|{{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}}]]
{{p|Cresselia}}, a Legendary Pokémon, and {{p|Darkrai}}, a Mythical Pokémon, represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare. She will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], Cresselia can be found on [[Marvelous Bridge]] after obtaining the Lunar Wing in the [[Strange House]]. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|220px|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a Mythical duo that, somewhat like Mewtwo and Mew, comprises a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a Mythical Pokémon that makes its home in colder seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its Egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or it can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', in which, like in the games, it first appeared as an Egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', in which they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione's status as a Mythical Pokémon is disputed, with several pieces of evidence and even official statements often contradicting each other. Further information can be found [[Phione#Mythical status|here]].

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at the [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the only Legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.

In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary golems are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Ten'i Village]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', in which it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|220px|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
{{p|Shaymin}} is a Mythical Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance. Unlike previous Mythical Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a major role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon Egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to Sinnoh legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an Egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber. Arceus has the highest base stat total of any Mythical Pokémon.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at the [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]], where it can be captured. Despite being coded into {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Azure Flute was never released, so it is not possible to go to the Hall of Origin.

In the anime, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', in which it set out to destroy [[Michina Town]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina Town in peace.
{{left clear}}

===Generation V===
Nine additional Legendary Pokémon and four Mythical Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon and ten Mythical (11, counting [[Generation IV]]'s Phione). {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black and White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression.

====Victini====
[[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|160px|{{ga|Hilda}}, {{p|Victini}}, and {{ga|Hilbert}}]]
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] Mythical Pokémon revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what.

In Pokémon Black and White, if the player possesses the [[Liberty Ticket]], the player can take a boat to [[Liberty Garden]], where Team Plasma is attempting to obtain Victini for the energy it radiates. It is later revealed that Victini was sealed in the basement of the lighthouse by a wealthy person in order to protect it from people with bad intentions.

Victini is a star of [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']].

====Swords of Justice====
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
[[File:Swords of Justice.png|thumb|left|200px|The Swords of Justice]]
{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, antelopes, oxen, goats, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}}, a Mythical Pokémon, whom the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).

They made their anime debut together, in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', where Keldeo was responsible for the freezing of the other three during a battle against {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}}, and sought help from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.

====Forces of Nature====
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]
{{main|Forces of Nature}}
{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth. According to a folktale retold by children at the [[Abundant Shrine]], Landorus punished Tornadus and Thundurus for destroying the land with gales and thunderstorms, and a shrine was built in honor of him. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] they receive a new Forme, the Therian Forme, with their old Forme known as the Incarnate Forme; the Formes can be switched between with the [[Reveal Glass]].

In the anime, the Forces of Nature were sought by [[Team Rocket]] in Unova from ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'' until they were able to awaken them on [[Milos Island]] in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]''. Tornadus and Thundurus fought on the island, while Ash and his friends awakened Landorus to put a stop to the fight (they all appeared in Incarnate Forme during these episodes). They debuted in Therian Forme in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', when Team Rocket once again attempted to capture them as the final goal of "Operation Tempest". Together, they are said to have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the Reveal Glass.

====Tao trio====
{{main|Tao trio}}
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation, but fighting between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two brothers]] who founded the nation split them into two halves. Despite this, the two Pokémon do not willingly fight each other.

In the games, [[Team Plasma]] hunt either Reshiram or Zekrom in {{game|Black and White|s}} in order to use them to liberate all Pokémon from their owners. [[N]] captures one of them and defeats [[Alder]]. The other dragon emerges from the [[Dragon Stone]] the player possesses, and the player must capture it and use it to defeat N. After his defeat, N rides off on his dragon to a far-off region. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which take place two years later, [[Ghetsis]] revives Team Plasma and captures Kyurem in order to freeze and take control of the Unova region. N confronts him with Zekrom/Reshiram, but Ghetsis seizes the opportunity to fuse the Tao dragon with Kyurem using the [[DNA Splicers]] to create Black Kyurem/White Kyurem. The player defeats Kyurem and Ghetsis, restoring balance to the region.

Reshiram and Zekrom are the stars of [[M14|''Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram'']] along with Victini. Zekrom debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' causing [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s electric crisis, and appeared in numerous flashbacks and fantasies afterwards. Reshiram also debuted in a cameo at the beginning of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and had a large role in the "Episode N" arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''.

{{p|Kyurem}} is related to Reshiram and Zekrom and represents {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, which is the absence of yin and yang. Using the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}}, Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom into White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively; with the same item, the fusion can be undone.

Kyurem is the star of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' along with Keldeo, where it seems as a ferocious Pokémon, and can change forms without the DNA Splicers.

====Meloetta====
[[File:Meloetta formes.png|thumb|right|180px|{{p|Meloetta}}'s two formes]]
{{p|Meloetta}}, the third Mythical Pokémon of Generation V, represents music (Aria Forme) and dance (Pirouette Forme). Legend says that it once sang and danced joyfully. However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody and its red shoes. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form.

Meloetta made its anime debut in [[PK23]]. It made its TV debut in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' (in Aria Forme) and ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' (in Pirouette Forme).

====Genesect====
[[File:Genesect anime.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Genesect}} in the anime]]
{{p|Genesect}} is an ancient insect Pokémon who was feared as the strongest of hunters more than 300 million years ago. Team Plasma revived it from a [[Fossil]] and altered it with cybernetic upgrades in an attempt to create the strongest Pokémon in existence. It uses special [[Drive]]s to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}. It is the final Mythical Pokémon of Generation V.

Genesect had its anime debut in a group called the [[Genesect Army]] that had escaped from Team Plasma's [[P2 Laboratory]]. They were first seen in {{an|N}} visions in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', and later on starred in the sixteenth Pokémon movie ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', in which they battled Mewtwo in [[New Tork City]].

===Generation VI===
An additional three Legendary Pokémon and three Mythical Pokémon were added in [[Generation VI]], totaling 39 Legendary Pokémon and 13 Mythical (14 when including [[Generation IV]]'s Phione).


====Mortality Duo====
[[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]
[[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]
The Legendary [[version mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas, the Life Pokémon, is a tall, navy-blue deer-like Pokémon with white antlers with rainbow-colored lights, and is a {{t|Fairy}} type. Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, is a black and red bird-like Pokémon with black horns, and is a {{2t|Dark|Flying}} type.

In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a "beautiful world" in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.

In the anime, Xerneas is sought after by Diancie during the events of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in hopes that its Fairy Aura can grant {{an|Diancie}} the power it needs to be able to create a Heart Diamond. Yveltal is awakened from its cocoon form by a group of thieves fighting in the crater it resides in, and proceeds to destroy the thieves, Team Rocket, and ultimately, the [[Allearth Forest]]. However, Xerneas then appears, and uses its Fairy Aura to becalm Yveltal, and the latter then flies away. Xerneas then restores all life in the Allearth Forest before going to sleep in the form of a tree. It is revealed by Dace that Yveltal had destroyed the Allearth Forest years before the events of the movie, and Xerneas had undid the damage it had done. The Allearth Forest was said to have been forbidden due to Yveltal's presence afterwards.

It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.
{{-}}

====Zygarde====
[[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}|left]]{{p|Zygarde}}, the Order Pokémon, is a tall black and green, serpent-like Pokémon with green and white hexagonal scales, and is a {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} type. It has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.

In the games, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]]. It has not yet been featured in the anime.
{{-}}

====Diancie====
[[File:719Diancie.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Diancie}}]]
{{p|Diancie}}, the Jewel Pokémon, is the first Mythical Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is a {{2t|Rock|Fairy}} type, and can create diamonds to protect itself.

Diancie appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', where it is the princess of the [[Diamond Domain]]. It is given the objective to create a new Heart Diamond for the domain, as the current one is faltering, and seeks Xerneas and its Fairy Aura to gain the power to do so. It is sought after by multiple thieves who desire its diamonds, and ultimately gains the power to make a Heart Diamond in an attempt to protect its friends from Yveltal. It appears with three [[Carbink servants]] and an elder Carbink named Dace.

It has the ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Diancie.
{{-}}

====Hoopa====
[[File:720Hoopa.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Hoopa}}]]
{{p|Hoopa}} is the second Mythical Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It has two formes. Hoopa Confined, the Mischief Pokémon, is a {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} type, whilst Hoopa Unbound, the Djinn Pokémon, is a {{2t|Psychic|Dark}} type. It is said to be able to be able to warp space in order to take things it likes and carry them away into alternate dimensions. It is also said to have carried away an entire castle in an attempt to steal all of its treasure according to some legends.

Hoopa appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' in both its Confined and Unbound forms.
{{-}}

====Volcanion====

{{p|Volcanion}}, the Steam Pokémon, is the third and final Mythical Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is a {{2t|Fire|Water}} type Pokémon that uses steam from arms on its back to disappear in fog and blow away mountains. It lives in mountains uninhabited by humans.

It is currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]] and has not been officially revealed, and thus has not yet been featured in the anime.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.
* Generation I is the only generation in which all of its Legendary and Mythical Pokémon have appeared in a movie. Mewtwo appeared in both ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[M16|Genesect and The Legend Awakened]]'', Mew appeared in both ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', while the birds appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
** Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon which hasn't appeared in a movie, only appearing in anime appearances, opening sequences, and in a cameo in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'', only to be Mew in disguise.
** Groudon is the only Generation III Legendary which hasn't appeared in a movie, only appearing in the opening sequences of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. There was a fake Groudon in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. However, the real Groudon has appeared with its counterpart, Kyogre, in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
** Generation IV is the generation with the greatest amount of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that have not appeared in a movie: the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Phione}} (though its Mythical status is disputed), and {{p|Cresselia}}. This group is notable for not even appearing via cameos in the movies, except for Cresselia, who appeared in the opening of ''[[M10|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. All five have their own debut episodes in the anime, however.
**The [[Forces of Nature]] and {{p|Meloetta}} are the only Generation V Legendary and Mythical Pokémon to not appear in a movie. The Forces of Nature appear in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. Meloetta appears from ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' to ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'' and in the [[Pikachu short]]s [[PK23]] and ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type|Flying}} Legendary or Mythical Pokémon, though the only Flying-type Legendary Pokémon in Generation IV, {{p|Shaymin}}, is only Flying-type in its Sky Forme, which was not introduced until Pokémon Platinum.
* {{p|Manaphy}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that can breed, and also not a member of the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}.
* {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon who have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently nine: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], and the [[Forces of Nature]]).
* Other than {{p|Arceus}} holding a {{DL|Plate|Toxic Plate}}, there are no {{type|Poison}} Legendary Pokémon, making it the only type not to include any Legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
*** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
*** Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* The Legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild Legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in eleven main series games each ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and [[Pokémon X and Y]]). The least available wild Legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.
* Genderless Legendary Pokémon who appear in the anime are usually given a voice that is either identifiably male or female, if able to [[Talking Pokémon|converse with humans]]. One exception is {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} in the original Japanese, who was voiced by Akihiro Miwa (a female impersonator) in order to give it an androgynous-sounding voice.
* While the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, was added to the original games right before release, the concept of "{{tt|illusory|Same term translated as 'mythical' by TPCi}} monsters" already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. Some of them were said not to be catchable, and some not even encounterable. As an example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around 2 hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>
* Due to Deoxys losing its Mythical status, it is the only Pokémon at the end of a generation of Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that is not event-exclusive.

'''Hoopa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーパ''' ''Hoopa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has an [[Form differences|alternate form]], which it changes into by using the [[Prison Bottle]]. Its default form, '''Hoopa Confined''', will then become '''Hoopa Unbound'''. Hoopa Unbound will revert into Hoopa Confined if three days have passed after using the Prison Bottle or if it is deposited in the [[PC]].

Hoopa Confined was officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine. Hoopa Unbound was officially revealed in the May 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine.

==Biology==
Hoopa Confined is a light purple Pokémon with several pink markings. There is a v-shaped marking on its chest and bands around its wrists. Additionally, there are pink markings around its head and a growth on top resembling hair tied into a ponytail. There is a yellow, ring marking in the center of its forehead, and it has green eyes with yellow sclera. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. Hoopa has three gold rings: one large one around its lower body and one hanging freely on each of its horns. Its arms are not attached to its body and float next to it. Each arm has a small golden spike on one end and a hand similar to a mitten on the other. There is a golden spike on each shoulder, which is similar to those on its arms. Hoopa's lower body consists only of a wispy structure similar to its ponytail.

Hoopa Unbound has a similar color scheme to Hoopa Confined, although the main color is now a light blue and its markings are slightly darker. This form is bipedal and has six arms. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier, and its eyes are now yellow with white sclera. Its horns are darker and less curved with spiky, purple fur at the base. This form has a pointed, dark gray snout and a mouth full of pointed teeth. Several tufts of purple fur surround its torso. Each of its arms is disconnected from the body and has a gold ring on one end and a three-fingered hand on the other. All of its arms has a ring around each wrist as well. Many other rings are present on this form: there are two around each ankle, two around the base of its ponytail, two at the base of each horn, one near the center of each horn, one around its waist, and one encircles a black hole in the middle of its body. The circular mark on its forehead also surrounds a much smaller black hole. A purple, protruding stripe extends down each leg, widens at the knee, and makes a circle around the tip of the foot. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and arrow-shaped tip.

Hoopa has the power to transport things using teleportation, which warps space. Hoopa Unbound is said to be Hoopa's true form. Hoopa Unbound is said to have the power to bend dimensions which allows it to seize anything in the world. As seen in the [[M18|anime]], Hoopa Unbound has the ability to control and summon powerful [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Hoopa Confined is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}. Hoopa's alternate form, Hoopa Unbound, has its own signature move, {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Hoopa anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Hoopa in the anime]]

===Origin===
Hoopa Confined may have been inspired from common depictions of {{wp|jinn|djinn}}, particularly those with a wisp-like tail. It having rings around its wrists could have been inspired from the djinn in the story of {{wp|Aladdin}}.

Hoopa Unbound may also have been inspired from djinn, while its six arms may have been drawn from the Hindu deities known as {{wp|Shakti}}, who were rumored to grow multiple arms. It may also be based on the {{wp|Gegenees}}, who were a tribe of six-armed giants who fought the {{wp|Argonauts}}. Its tail and horns may also derive from common depictions of demons.

Both forms of Hoopa could also be partly based on the legend of {{wp|Nezha (deity)|Nezha}}, a deity worshipped in Taoism and Chinese folk religion and commonly referred as a trickster deity and an worldly protector. Very much like Hoopa Unbound, Nezha is depicted holding rings and is sometimes depicted with multiple arms.

Its ability to use its hoops to transport things may be based on {{wp|Portals in fiction|portals}}. Its relationship with the [[Prison Bottle]] is similar to the djinni with its lamp in traditional Arabian stories, being that their full power is sealed from them with their respective vessel, or place (thing) of containment. Its limitation of only being able to remain as Hoopa Unbound for three days parallels the limit to the number of wishes a djinni can grant to its current master. In both of its forms, its shiny coloration reflects on the Arabian origins of djinn.

====Name origin====
Hoopa is derived from ''hoop''. It may also be derived from ''hoopla'' (something loud, attention-grabbing, and possibly misleading).

'''Hoopa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーパ''' ''Hoopa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has an [[Form differences|alternate form]], which it changes into by using the [[Prison Bottle]]. Its default form, '''Hoopa Confined''', will then become '''Hoopa Unbound'''. Hoopa Unbound will revert into Hoopa Confined if three days have passed after using the Prison Bottle or if it is deposited in the [[PC]].

Hoopa Confined was officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine. Hoopa Unbound was officially revealed in the May 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine.

==Biology==
Hoopa Confined is a light purple Pokémon with several pink markings. There is a v-shaped marking on its chest and bands around its wrists. Additionally, there are pink markings around its head and a growth on top resembling hair tied into a ponytail. There is a yellow, ring marking in the center of its forehead, and it has green eyes with yellow sclera. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. Hoopa has three gold rings: one large one around its lower body and one hanging freely on each of its horns. Its arms are not attached to its body and float next to it. Each arm has a small golden spike on one end and a hand similar to a mitten on the other. There is a golden spike on each shoulder, which is similar to those on its arms. Hoopa's lower body consists only of a wispy structure similar to its ponytail.

Hoopa Unbound has a similar color scheme to Hoopa Confined, although the main color is now a light blue and its markings are slightly darker. This form is bipedal and has six arms. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier, and its eyes are now yellow with white sclera. Its horns are darker and less curved with spiky, purple fur at the base. This form has a pointed, dark gray snout and a mouth full of pointed teeth. Several tufts of purple fur surround its torso. Each of its arms is disconnected from the body and has a gold ring on one end and a three-fingered hand on the other. All of its arms has a ring around each wrist as well. Many other rings are present on this form: there are two around each ankle, two around the base of its ponytail, two at the base of each horn, one near the center of each horn, one around its waist, and one encircles a black hole in the middle of its body. The circular mark on its forehead also surrounds a much smaller black hole. A purple, protruding stripe extends down each leg, widens at the knee, and makes a circle around the tip of the foot. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and arrow-shaped tip.

Hoopa has the power to transport things using teleportation, which warps space. Hoopa Unbound is said to be Hoopa's true form. Hoopa Unbound is said to have the power to bend dimensions which allows it to seize anything in the world. As seen in the [[M18|anime]], Hoopa Unbound has the ability to control and summon powerful [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Hoopa Confined is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}. Hoopa's alternate form, Hoopa Unbound, has its own signature move, {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Hoopa Confined.
** Due to its unique type combination, Hoopa Confined is the only Pokémon with a double weakness to {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Ghost}}. This also makes it the only Pokémon with a double weakness to one of its own types.
* Hoopa Unbound is the tallest {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, and is tied with {{me|Gyarados}} as the tallest {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Hoopa Unbound has the highest base {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Hoopa Unbound is the heaviest {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Hoopa is the only Pokémon to have more than one Species name.
* Hoopa is the only [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to have different Pokédex entries between {{pkmn|X and Y}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* Hoopa Unbound is the only Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by base stats|680 base stat total]] that is Mythical instead of Legendary and the only one not related to any other Pokémon.

===Origin===
Hoopa Confined may have been inspired from common depictions of {{wp|jinn|djinn}}, particularly those with a wisp-like tail. It having rings around its wrists could have been inspired from the djinn in the story of {{wp|Aladdin}}.

Hoopa Unbound may also have been inspired from djinn, while its six arms may have been drawn from the Hindu deities known as {{wp|Shakti}}, who were rumored to grow multiple arms. It may also be based on the {{wp|Gegenees}}, who were a tribe of six-armed giants who fought the {{wp|Argonauts}}. Its tail and horns may also derive from common depictions of demons.

Both forms of Hoopa could also be partly based on the legend of {{wp|Nezha (deity)|Nezha}}, a deity worshipped in Taoism and Chinese folk religion and commonly referred to as a trickster deity as well as regarded as a spiritual protector. Very much like Hoopa Unbound, Nezha is depicted holding rings and is sometimes depicted with multiple arms.

Its ability to use its hoops to transport things may be based on {{wp|Portals in fiction|portals}}. Its relationship with the [[Prison Bottle]] is similar to the djinni with its lamp in traditional Arabian stories, being that their full power is sealed from them with their respective vessel, or place (thing) of containment. Its limitation of only being able to remain as Hoopa Unbound for three days parallels the limit to the number of wishes a djinni can grant to its current master. In both of its forms, its shiny coloration reflects on the Arabian origins of djinn.

====Name origin====
Hoopa is derived from ''hoop''. It may also be derived from ''hoopla'' (something loud, attention-grabbing, and possibly misleading).

Villainous team

2015-07-18T03:47:34Z

Wisesun:

{{incomplete|needs=This article needs quite a bit of cleanup, maybe a few images, and needs Team Debonairs and Great Rocket.}}
'''Villainous teams''' (English: Team ~; Japanese: ～団 ''-dan'') are {{wp|Organized crime|criminal terrorist organizations}} which form the core of the storyline of [[Pokémon games]]. There are six in the [[core series]] as of [[Generation VI]]: [[Team Rocket]], found in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]] and the remakes of both generations; [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], found in the [[Generation III]] core games and their remakes; [[Team Galactic]], found in the [[Generation IV]] core games; [[Team Plasma]] of the [[Generation V]] games; and finally [[Team Flare]] of the [[Generation VI]] games. Six villainous teams have appeared so far in the various [[side series]] games: [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]] of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]; the [[Go-Rock Squad]] of {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}; Teams [[Team Dim Sun|Dim Sun]] and [[Team Debonairs|Debonairs]] of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}; and the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] of {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}. Whatever their goals in their respective games, one thing they all have in common is that they plan on achieving their results through the misuse of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Comparisons==
While [[Team Rocket]] has vague goals and is {{wp|Mafia}}-like (or perhaps {{wp|Yakuza}}-like, considering the Japanese background), the other known villainous teams Team Aqua, Team Magma, as well as Team Plasma have clear goals and are {{wp|cult}}-like, fanatically believing that achieving their goals will bring about the best interests of the people of the world. Cipher and Team Snagem work together to steal Pokémon from others and create [[Shadow Pokémon]] from them, while the leader of Team Galactic wishes to recreate the universe in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}}. Likewise, the leader of Team Flare seeks to make a beautiful world in his image by using the power of {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}} to destroy everyone except Team Flare. The Go-Rock Squad plan to take over the Pokémon Rangers by capturing powerful Pokémon, making them cause disasters, then commanding the Pokémon to stop by using Stylers so they will be regarded as heroes. [[Team Dim Sun]] plans on using Pokémon to make energy for Altru Inc. and Almia. Each has an iconic leader - [[Giovanni]] (later missing), [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], [[Evice]] and [[Greevil]], [[Gonzap]], [[Gordor]], and [[Blake Hall]] respectively.

Team Rocket had extensive presence in [[Generation I]], including running the [[Celadon Game Corner]], invading [[Silph Co.]], and murdering [[Marowak (ghost)|at least one Pokémon]]. Even in the {{pkmn|anime}}, where law enforcement officers are clearly present, Team Rocket's activities continue unhindered, as if they were above the law.

By [[Generation II]], they have lost most of their power and attempted to re-group in the [[Johto]] region. They initially managed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], only to be defeated by the [[player character|player]], forcing [[Team Rocket]] to disband yet again. 

In contrast, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s crimes are more extreme, including stealing [[Peeko|a Pokémon]], a meteorite, and one [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]; and causing catastrophes: halting the activity of [[Mt. Chimney|a volcano]] and causing droughts and heavy rains by awakening {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

Like Team Rocket, [[Team Galactic]] appears to run the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. However, unlike the other teams, Team Galactic has several facilities. A warehouse and [[Team Galactic HQ|the headquarters]] are both in [[Veilstone City]], and [[Team Galactic Eterna Building|another building]] is located in [[Eterna City]]. Team Galactic is far more successful than the other teams in accomplishing their goals, as they have captured {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, created the [[Red Chain]], and temporarily capture {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} until the player character and the [[lake guardians]] (or, in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{p|Giratina}}) foils them.

[[Team Plasma]] appears to work in a more mysterious attitude, especially their leader, [[N]]. Their goal is, seemingly, unlike the other villainous teams, not abusing Pokémon, but separating humans and Pokémon, comparing Pokémon under a Trainer's command to slaves. (They believe that liberation will actually ''help'' the Pokémon.) However much of this is revealed to be a ruse by the true leader of the team, Ghetsis, who's using the 'liberation' propaganda to, effectively, trick the entire Unova region into disarming themselves and thus allowing him, through Team Plasma, to dominate the entire region.

[[Team Flare]] appears to own multiple facilities, such as the [[Lysandre Labs]] in [[Lumiose City]] and [[Team Flare Secret HQ|a secret underground headquarters]] in [[Geosenge Town]]. Many grunts initially claim that they want to make the world fashionable, but they raid multiple areas such as the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] for their true goals, which are to destroy everyone except Team Flare. They unleash the [[ultimate weapon]] created by [[AZ]] 3,000 years ago, and also capture {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}} to hope to power up the weapon, only for the player character to capture them and defeat Lysandre, leading to the team's downfall.

The above refers to the games; however, there is a darker interpretation of the teams in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Core series==
===[[Team Rocket]]===
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|right|Team Rocket Grunts]]
Team Rocket members wear black costumes and have a red "R" as their crest. Many variations of the costume have been seen. Their leader is [[Giovanni]].
====In the games====
In [[Generation I]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money, through methods such as burglary and selling Fossils. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the Silph Corporation building in Saffron City. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of Celadon's Game Corner.

Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}, he resigned his position and disappeared to train. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the Sevii Islands until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.

For three years, Team Rocket appeared to be gone completely. However, an underground movement, led by executives from the [[Sevii Islands]], developed in the Johto region. As usual, it began with crimes committed to earn money (such as cutting off Slowpoke tails and selling them at outrageous prices).

As the [[Johto]] Team Rocket grew in size, scientists within the group studied radio waves and how they might be used to control Pokémon. From a former ninja base in [[Mahogany Town]], their experiments affected the Magikarp at the Lake of Rage, causing the Pokémon to evolve unnaturally. Although the experiment was stopped by Lance, Team Rocket soon took over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, intending to use its transmitter to affect Pokémon nationwide and contact their leader, Giovanni.

Before putting their plan into action, however, Team Rocket used the tower to instead attempt to contact Giovanni, hoping he would hear their message and come back to lead. This gave {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} enough time to infiltrate the besieged Goldenrod and defeat Team Rocket's executives, who again disbanded the group. Meanwhile, a time traveling Ethan/Lyra from the future fights Giovanni while the other watches the fight. He then vanishes after the fight and Ethan and Lyra return to their time.

====In the anime====
Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode since [[EP002|the second]], usually as the bumbling trio [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, though at times [[Giovanni]] as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], will appear.

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Team Rocket first appear in Pokémon Adventures when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. They are led by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who is portrayed in a much more sinister light than in the anime or games, as with Team Rocket on a whole.

This canon's depiction of Gym Leaders is different from that of the games and anime, who generally depict [[Gym Leader]]s as valiant. In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, the three most prominent members of Team Rocket, collectively referred to as the [[Team Rocket Triad]], are [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Like the other villainous trios, two members of the Team Rocket Triad (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) are true to their original calling (though as opposed to the other villainous trios, for them it is being Gym Leaders, not being members of their Team), while one goes his own way, that being Koga.

For a short time, [[Blaine]] too worked for Team Rocket, making 5 out of the 8 [[Gym Leader#Indigo League|Kanto Leaders]] Rocket affiliated at some point in their life.

As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad, and the four of them go their separate ways. Team Rocket make a brief comeback aboard the S.S. Aqua, but they are on the whole unsuccessful. Later, however, [[Pryce]], under the guise of the [[Masked Man]], reforms Team Rocket for his own uses. At this point his most prominent members are [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]] and [[Will]]. Pryce plans to use Team Rocket to gain control of {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and eventually {{p|Celebi}}, and through that control time in order to save his {{p|Lapras}}'s parents. After {{adv|Gold}} convinces him to cease his villainous ways, he too disbands Team Rocket.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, Giovanni once again reforms Team Rocket, the most notable members now being the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. The main aim for Team Rocket is to reunite Giovanni with his son {{adv|Silver}} through use of {{adv|Deoxys}}. Like the other villainous trios, two of the Beasts remain true to their original calling as Rockets, those being [[Orm]] and [[Sird]], while the other, [[Carr]], goes his own way. In this arc, Silver is intended to inherit Team Rocket, but he instead shuns it. It is unclear what Team Rocket's fate are at the end of this arc, but with the members in disarray, it is most likely that it dissolved.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, it was revealed that Carr had taken over Team Rocket and gathered the remaining troops together. His reign of power comes to an abrupt end, however, as the organization is then taken over by the four {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}}, who intend to gather all the [[Plate]]s and use them to control {{p|Arceus}}. With the unknowing help of Gold, Crys, and Silver, the Rocket Executives manage to enter the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], where Arceus recreates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, which [[Archer]] intends to be an invincible army for Giovanni. However, when Giovanni arrives with [[Lance]] and Pryce, it is revealed that the battle of the three Legendary Pokémon would cause the destruction of both Johto and Sinnoh, as foreseen by Pryce when he was trapped in the time stream. Thanks to Gold opening up to [[Togebo]], Arceus soon calms down the Legendary Pokémon, sending them back to their respective realms. As a reward of his good deed, Celebi then cures Giovanni of his long-time illness, allowing him to return to lead Team Rocket and its rebuilding. Silver still doesn't approve his father's criminal life, intending to stop Team Rocket and convince his father of the error of his ways one day by himself.

===[[Team Aqua]]===
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Aqua Grunts.png|thumb|Team Aqua Grunts]]
They wear blue costumes that look like {{wp|pirate}} outfits. They have a skull-and-bones-like "A" as their crest. Their leader is [[Archie]]. Team Aqua tries to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}}.

====In the games====
Team Aqua is led by [[Archie]]. They attempt to expand the ocean and awaken Kyogre in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]] and {{v2|Emerald}}, but help the player defeat team Magma in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby]].

====In the anime====

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Team Aqua is led by [[Archie]]. Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Kyogre}} and increase the sea in the Hoenn region.
There are three Executives, known as the SSS of Team Aqua, which can be considered a parallel not only to the Three Fires of Team Magma, but the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one member of the SSS of Team Aqua went his own way, but rather than leaving Team Aqua, it was rejoining after being kicked out.

Team Aqua and Team Magma are presented more individually in Adventures than in any other medium. Team Aqua seem to have more influence, with Archie holding the position of News Director, but they don't seem to be as well equipped, as shown by the fact that they had no idea what the Orbs were until Amber spied on Team Magma.

===[[Team Magma]]===
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Magma Grunts.png|thumb|Team Magma Grunts]]
They wear red jumpsuit outfits, which have been variously interpreted to look like {{wp|Ninja}} costumes or similar to an imp. They have a stylized "M", appearing like a volcano, as their team's signature crest. Their leader is [[Maxie]]. Team Magma attempts to wake {{p|Groudon}} and expand the land area of the world.

====In the games====
They are led by [[Maxie]]. In Pokémon Ruby their main goal is to increase the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a {{key|III|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] are looking for information about the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Groudon}}, and the weather Pokémon, [[Castform]]. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}. They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built, and travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the Blue Orb to awaken Groudon.

====In the anime====

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Team Magma is led by [[Maxie]].
Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Groudon}} and increase the landmass in the Hoenn region.

There are three Executives, known as the Three Fires of Team Magma, which can be considered a parallel not only to the SSS of Team Aqua, but also the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one of the Three Fires of Team Magma goes her own way, in this example, it is Marge, who decides to help {{adv|Ruby}} stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} rather than further the cause of Groudon, as the Team's principal aim is. The Three Fires of Team Magma are more distinct from each other than the SSS of Team Aqua, because they all have an individual way of using fire. Marge's is the most straight forward, she simply aims to burn things, Mitch uses smoke to hide his movements and Mack uses heat to cause his victims to hallucinate, oddly, he seems to be able to control these hallucinations.

Team Magma and Team Aqua are presented as more individual than they are in any other medium. Team Magma is presented as better equipped in the field of capturing a Legendary Pokémon and using its powers for their own end, as shown by their knowledge and acquisition of the two Orbs, however, they are not as influential, and Archie is able to convince most of Hoenn that Team Magma are the only villains.

===[[Team Galactic]]===
[[File:Diamond Pearl Team Galactic Grunts.png|thumb|right|Team Galactic Grunts]]
Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts. Their leader is [[Cyrus]], who wishes to create a new universe by awakening {{p|Dialga}} or[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|*]]/and[[Pokémon Platinum Version|*]] {{p|Palkia}}. Their team's crest is a stylized letter "G" (Possibly to make it resemble a spiral galaxy). Whereas the other teams usually have large logos on their uniforms, Team Galactic's logos are small, being barely visible on their battle sprites.

====In the games====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, this team's leader (named [[Cyrus]]) wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, the leader is still Cyrus, but this time, he tries to summon both Dialga and Palkia to create a world without spirit.

====In the anime====
[[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}} and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. At the end, they commented that they (Team Rocket) did a lousy job at it. This was not revealed until their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''. Saturn tries to locate the {{p|Unown}} and control them using a cube with an {{p|Arceus}} pattern. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn.

====In the manga====

=====Pokémon Adventures=====

=====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!=====
Like in the games, the team is led [[Cyrus]]. The team essentially has the same goal as in the games, but was possible that the {{tc|Commander}}s did not know about the absolute plan of their leader, since Mars was shocked when Cyrus revealed that his ultimate goal was to create the universe and all of the life fully anew. [[Hareta]], with the help of [[Mitsumi]], a former member, and the Gym Leaders, managed to stop him. Later, [[Charon]] becomes the new leader and tried to capture [[Heatran]]. [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] left on a search to find Cyrus and were treated as deserters.

One of the most distinctive characters of the team is [[B-2]], a grunt who has swollen buttocks due to Hareta biting him when they first met.

===[[Team Plasma]]===
[[File:Black White Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|left|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black and White]]
[[File:Black 2 White 2 Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|right|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black 2 and White 2]]
Team Plasma is the villainous team of the Unova region. Originally, the grunts wear a costume that resembles a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]] wear robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their leader is [[N]], although the team is being used to further the goals of his adopted father, [[Ghetsis]]. After this is discovered, the members of Team Plasma that support Ghetsis change their uniform to be more similar to pirates, while those that support N remain in the old uniform. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}.

====In the games====
Team Plasma appears in various locations. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After the player captures the other Legendary Pokémon and defeats N, Ghetsis reveals his true plans, battling the hero himself. After his defeat and arrest, [[Looker]] will ask the player to help him round up the remaining [[Seven Sages|Sages]].

In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, Team Plasma has split into two different factions. One of the factions consists of the few members of Team Plasma that are still loyal to N. The other faction, known as the new Team Plasma, is led by [[Colress]]. This faction is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. They intend to accomplish this new goal by freezing the region and stealing all of the region's Pokémon. Having escaped from custody, Ghetsis once again reveals himself to be the true mastermind behind Team Plasma's actions.

The reformed members and N help the player against new Team Plasma, culminating in the defeat of Colress and Ghetsis — the latter controlling {{p|Kyurem}}. Following this, Colress officially disbands Team Plasma, retiring to [[P2 Laboratory]]. Ghetsis, having snapped and lost heart upon seeing his plans foiled, is taken away by the [[Shadow Triad]], never to be seen again.

====In the anime====
Team Plasma's [[BW023 (unaired)|debut]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] were postponed due to {{wp|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}} in Japan but was later retconned out of continuity. Their proper debut was in the ''[[Best Wishes series|Best Wishes Season 2: Episode N]]'' arc but in their new outfits.

N debuted at the end of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' and was properly introduced in the [[BW110|next episode]]. Colress, with some other [[Team Plasma Grunt (Trainer class)|grunts]], first appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' experimenting with wild Pokémon. Ghetsis made his proper appearance  in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]''. Also, [[Anthea and Concordia]] made their debut at the end of the episode rescuing N from Team Plasma. The Seven Sages appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''. Like in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|games]], Team Plasma's plan is to use the strength of Pokémon and use it to take over the [[Unova]] region.

===[[Team Flare]]===
[[File:XY Team Flare Grunts.png|thumb|left| Team Flare Grunts]]
Team Flare is the villainous team of the Kalos region. Team Flare Grunt's uniform is a mafia styled red suit, while Admins wear more stylized white suits and Scientists wear red suits of varying designs. Their symbol is a flaming letter F.

====In the games====
At first, Team Flare's goal is claimed to be making the world "beautiful" with style and lots of money. Despite of their goal, several grunts and even their leader [[Lysandre]] confirm that they seek a world on the benefit of only those within Team Flare, disregarding anybody else. Team Flare would attempt to make money by stealing and selling [[Fossils]]. They would also syphon energy from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], and later on steal [[Poké Balls]] from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] which they would use to increase their army of powerful Pokémon.

It is eventually revealed that Team Flare's true plan is to use the ancient Ultimate Weapon in order to obliterate all life except themselves in order to start anew, as Lysandre no longer sees a bright future for the current society — which, in his words, has grown to an unsustainable level and is doomed by "unproductive fools" consuming the planet's limited resources. At this point, it is explained that all their actions were preparations to this goal: the energy from the Power Plant was needed to reactivate the weapon, and the large number of Pokémon was needed to feed it, as it is powered by their life energies.

Post Elite Four, the player is tasked by [[Looker]] to help him solve a series of crimes related to a person known as [[Emma|Essentia]], which would be revealed to be the result of experiments by [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's scientists.

====In the anime====
Everything associated with Orre does not appear as in the anime. Due to the connection between [[Shadow Pokémon]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s, it would not be surprising if this team were based on him.

====In the manga====
Cipher has appeared in two manga adaptations: [[Pokémon Colosseum Snatcher Leo]] and [[Pokémon Colosseum Snatchers]].

===[[Team Snagem]]===

==Trivia==
*Since [[Generation VI]] a running trend is that the final battle against Team's Boss takes place on a background that differs from the actual location, that also mirrors the respective Team's name.
**For Lysandre the background is a fiery area resembling a Sun's corona whereas the actual location was [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. For Archie the background resembles a whirlpool, while Maxie's background resembles a volcano while the battle takes place in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. In the case of the latter two, even if water and magma are featured in the chamber they are faced, they are battled on solid land.

Wisesun:

[[File:MainSeriesStarters.png|thumb|320px|Artwork featuring the starter Pokémon up to Generation IV]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''Beginning Pokémon'' or '''さいしょのポケモン''' ''first Pokémon''; known as '''{{tt|'御三家|ごさんけ}}''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This Pokémon will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters. Once another Pokémon is caught, the starter may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn friendship and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starters, and it will often be the most powerful Pokémon on his or her team.

==In the games==
In the main {{pkmn|games}}, each starter Pokémon is at [[level]] 5, armed with one damage-dealing [[move]] and another that affects [[stat]]s. Trainers can choose between a {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with one exception]]). The Trainer that will be designated as the player's [[rival]] will always choose or have the Pokémon of the starter trio that has a type advantage over the one the player chooses, though it may not be the case that they remain the true rival.

The following is a list of starters by region:

===Normal starters===
====Main series====
=====[[Kanto]]=====
In {{game5|Red|Green|Blue|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{kanto color}}"

| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|- align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color light}}"
| {{MSP|003|Venusaur}}
| {{pcolor|Venusaur|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MSP|006|Charizard}}
| {{pcolor|Charizard|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MSP|009|Blastoise}}

| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|}

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in its [[Poké Ball]] on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

Professor Oak offers one of this trio of Pokémon to the player in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} after the player has defeated {{ga|Red}}, making reference to the fact that he gives them out as starters in Kanto-based games, suggesting the player will be able to make it to [[Viridian City|the next town]] with one of these Pokémon by his or her side.

In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak instead gives out:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
! style="width:80px; background: #{{kanto color light}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 5px;" | [[File:025.png]] '''{{color2|{{kanto color dark}}|Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu}}'''
|-
| align="center" colspan="2" style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
|}

This {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto {{rt|1|Kanto}} that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. Another notable change here involves the player's rival receiving an {{p|Eevee}} from Oak, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions, depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival.

It should be noted that during the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starters through special events not present in the earlier games. It remains to be the only main series game to allow the player to obtain all three starter Pokémon from a previous game legitimately, without trading. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} unless it is traded away to do so.

=====[[Johto]]=====
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{johto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{johto color}}"

|}

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], he or she will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game (in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the last Pokémon mysteriously disappears at some point).

In Generation II, the Pokémon will be holding a {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}} when received from Elm, though the rival's stolen starter will not.

In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player has caught all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] with the exception of {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Professor Birch]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward.

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup|RS}} or {{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup|E}}, he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has his or her starter, which is always the one with the type advantage. [[Wally]] starts with {{p|Ralts}}; he seeks [[Norman]]'s and the player's assistance in catching his first Pokémon. By the end of the game, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before he or she can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to rebattle the player later.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Steven Stone]] offers one of these Pokémon to the player after he or she has defeated {{ga|Red}}.

=====[[Sinnoh]]=====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used. Compared to previous games, NPC Trainers use their own starter Pokémon more than before, with notable figures such as the [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] and [[Elite Four]] member {{EF|Flint}} using them, as do several other Trainers.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

=====[[Unova]]=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Professor Araragi]] leaves a gift with the player's [[mom|mother]] in [[Kanoko Town]] to give to him or her, containing the following three Pokémon:

The player's friend [[Cheren]] will choose the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, while the player's other friend [[Bel]] will choose the one weak to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Sanyou City]] will be battled; players who chose Snivy will face [[Pod]], a {{type2|Fire}} specialist, players who chose Tepig will face [[Corn]], a {{type2|Water}} specialist, and players who chose Oshawott will face [[Dent]], a {{type2|Grass}} specialist. Also, the choice affects the Pokémon given to the player in the [[Site of Dreams]]. Choosing Snivy gives the player a {{p|Hiyappu}}, Tepig a {{p|Yanappu}} and Oshawott a {{p|Baoppu}}.

|}

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the double-battle system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} and {{m|Reflect}}. Both are always male.

|}

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, {{evostone|Moon Shard}} and {{evostone|Sun Shard}}, to make the Eevee evolve into any of its [[Generation III|(then)]] [[Eeveelution|evolutions]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and beats all 100 trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give him/her one of the Johto starters.

Upon their tenth birthday, youths can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starters are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region, but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle, Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile, and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special breeding grounds for starter Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these breeders the Pokémon eggs for them to hatch at secret breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starters for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead; this means that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon, provided that their first Pokémon is received from someone that is not sanctioned by the Pokémon League.

===List of starter Pokémon in the anime===
* {{Ash}} received a {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]].
* {{an|Brock}} received an {{p|Onix}} from {{ka|Flint|his father}} that now belongs to his brother, [[Forrest]], with whom it evolved into a {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}.
* {{Gary}} received a {{p|Squirtle}} from Professor Oak that [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
* [[James]]'s first Pokémon is his pet {{p|Growlithe}} named [[Growlie]]. However, he left it at home when he ran away.
* {{an|Casey}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]] that evolved into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Jimmy}} received a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.
* {{Jo|Marina}} received a {{p|Totodile}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a [[Wani-Wani|Feraligatr]].
* [[Vincent]] received a Chikorita from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Harrison}} received a {{p|Torchic}} from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}}.
* {{an|May}} received a Torchic from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}.
* {{Ho|Tommy}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Mudkip}}, that he evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}}. He lost it on the [[Abandoned Ship]], where it evolved again into {{p|Swampert}}. They were later reunited.
* {{Ho|Stephanie}} (''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'') received a {{p|Mudkip}} from Nurse Joy at the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Center]].
**[[Stephanie's father]] received a {{p|Treecko}} at the same time.
* [[Xander]]'s (''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemna]]'') Caterpie was implied to be his starter Pokémon in the episode, as he mentioned that his Caterpie was his first Pokémon, albeit it was "not caught".
* {{Ka|Gilbert}} (''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'') received a {{p|Bulbasaur}} from Professor Oak.
* {{an|Dawn}} received a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* [[Yuzo]] said that he started his Pokémon journey with a {{p|Starly}}.
* [[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a {{p|Turtwig}}, now a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
* {{Si|Kenny}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Piplup}} that evolved into an {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}.
* [[Tyler]] (''[[DP080|Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'') received a {{p|Piplup}} named ''Pippy'' from an unknown location in East [[Sinnoh]].
* [[Zoey]]'s first Pokémon was a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} that she raised after it was abandoned. It is her signature Pokémon.
* [[Max]] intends to begin his journey with the {{p|Ralts}} that he met in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''.
* {{an|Lyra}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]].
* [[Khoury]] received a {{p|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]].
* [[Shooti]] received a {{TP|Shooti|Snivy}} from [[Professor Araragi]] in [[BW001]].
* {{an|Iris}}'s first Pokémon was a {{TP|Iris|Kibago}} that was given to her by a [[Old woman (Unova)|respected old woman]] in her hometown.

Several characters have also captured Pokémon in the wild that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash Ketchum captured a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{AP|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starters, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Cyndaquil and Chikorita evolved, into {{AP|Quilava}} and {{AP|Bayleef}}, respectively.
* Ash captured as well a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starters of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} captured a {{p|Bulbasaur}} midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} during May's travels through Johto. Squirtle also evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]] owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn hatched a {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh.
* Ash reused his pattern from the [[original series]] of capturing all starters in [[Unova]], {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. However this time around he caught them in reverse of the Pokédex order rather than following it as he did in the original series.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three Pokédex for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon were their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s starter was his [[Poli|Poliwag]]. Later, Professor Oak gave him a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], which became a {{p|Venusaur}} in his travels.
* {{adv|Blue}}'s starter was his [[Blue's Scizor|Scyther]]. His grandfather later gave him a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}, which evolved twice into a {{p|Charizard}} before Red's had.
* {{adv|Green}}'s starter was her [[Green's Wigglytuff|Jigglypuff]]. She stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] from Professor Oak and later obtained the third Pokédex after breaking down in tears in front of Professor Oak, who then recognized her a true Pokédex Holder and forgave her theft. By the time this happened, it had already evolved to a {{p|Blastoise}}.
* {{adv|Yellow}}'s starter a [[Ratty|Rattata]] that Red caught for her. Later, she borrowed Red's [[Pika|Pikachu]], and after Red took him back, caught a [[Chuchu|female Pikachu]] for herself. She originally borrowed Red's Pokédex for her journey to find and save Red, which she received permanently in the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} after the three Pallet Town trainers received National Pokédexes (and the other two copies of the original Pokédex were destroyed dangerously close to the data transfer's finish). Like the Pikachu in {{v2|Yellow}}, neither evolved.
* {{adv|Gold}}'s starter was his [[Aibo|Aipom]] that his mother gave him. Professor Elm allows him to keep a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]], which becomes a {{p|Typhlosion}} alongside the other two starters.
* {{adv|Silver}}'s starter was the Sneasel that Giovanni gave him as a child. He later stole a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm, as well as the first Pokédex of [[Johto]]. His starter evolved twice into a {{p|Feraligatr}}.
* {{adv|Crystal}}'s starter is officially her Smoochum, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Megaree|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her, and became a {{p|Meganium}} midway into their journey.
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s starter was his [[Nana|Poochyena]] that he received from his father, though he also received his Skitty and Ralts at the same time. Later, he got Professor Birch's [[Zuzu|Mudkip]]. It evolved into a {{p|Swampert}} from the concussive battles it underwent. He was never formally given the Pokédex, it ended up in his hands, and he was allowed to keep it.
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the Aron her father gave her. Later, he gave her a [[Toro|Torchic]] along with her Pokédex, which evolved twice under her care into {{p|Blaziken}}.
* [[Wally]]'s first Pokémon was a Kecleon that Ruby helped him capture. However, he also borrowed Ruby's Ralts and rescued the Treecko intended for Emerald, but they ended up returned to their rightful owners, and the third Pokédex was returned to Birch, which was then finally given to Emerald.
* {{adv|Emerald}}'s first battle Pokémon was the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} he rescued from the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which was supposed to be his in the first place. It evolved from its {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care.
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his Munchlax, and later he received a [[Wig|Turtwig]] from Professor Rowan because of a misunderstanding. It has since evolved to {{p|Torterra}} alongside the others.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his [[Chahiko|Chatot]], and later he received a [[Chimhiko|Chimchar]] from Professor Rowan with Diamond. The Chimchar has since evolved twice into an {{p|Infernape}}.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]], and later she received a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] from Professor Rowan. It has since become an {{p|Empoleon}} under her care.
* {{adv|Black}} started with a {{p|Wargle}} and a {{p|Munna}}, though it isn't clear which was his first.

==Trivia==
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
* For [[BW003]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Unova. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: パートナー　みず・くさ・ほのお　まよっちゃう ''Pātonā, mizu kusa honō, mayocchau.'' "Partner, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, I can't decide."
* All starters in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a 7:1 ratio of males to females.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and shininess were determined, it was ''impossible'' to have a shiny female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack [[IV]] a [[shiny Pokémon]] could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.
* Each of the {{type2|Grass}} starters is based on a reptilian creature, with Bulbasaur and Chikorita being based on {{wp|dicynodont|prehistoric}} {{wp|sauropod|reptiles}}, Treecko on {{wp|gecko}}s, Turtwig on {{wp|turtle}}s, and Snivy on a lizard/snake.
* When [[gender differences]] were introduced in [[Generation IV]], none of the {{type2|Water}} starters received gender differences. Also, the Sinnoh region's starters were the only set not to have any gender differences, despite being introduced in the same generation as that feature.
* The Hoenn starters all evolve for the first time at level 16, then again at level 36. The Unova starters all evolve for the first time at level 17, and then again at level 36. Other trios have differences among the three in either one or both evolutionary levels.
**The Unova starters are also the only Region's starters at which all 3 evolve into their second stage at an odd number.
* Other than {{p|Pikachu}} in the main series, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]].
* The starter Pokémon of Generation III each had their own [[signature moves]]: {{m|Leaf Blade}} (Sceptile), {{m|Blaze Kick}} (Blaziken), and {{m|Muddy Water}} (Swampert). However once Generation IV came around, other Pokémon were capable of learning these moves.
* Only the Johto starters' final forms can be legitimately obtained in a type of Poké Ball other than the standard one. This is due to the ability to [[snagging|snag]] the starters' middle forms in {{g|Colosseum}}.
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* When a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type2|Normal}} [[physical move]] and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|ThunderShock}} instead of a Normal-type move.
* Other than the Mystery Dungeon series, Pokémon Colosseum is the only Pokémon game that the player starts out with two Pokémon. They are also the highest leveled.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and later in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all of the starter Pokémon are taken, instead of one being left at the lab.
* All of the Grass-type starters have the ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type ones {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type ones {{a|Torrent}}. The exception to this are the evolutions of the {{p|Eevee}} obtained in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
** However, through the [[Dream World]], it is possible to find Starter Pokémon with other abilities.
* In the National Pokédex and the regional Pokédexes, the Grass-type starter comes numerically before the others. The Water-type ones always come last numerically.
* Espeon and Umbreon are the only starters that are received fully evolved. Also, these two are the only starters which are received together.
* Neither of the main series starters that are based on birds ({{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}}) are half {{type2|Flying}}, and neither are able to {{m|fly}}. However, the birds Torchic and Piplup were based on actually aren't able to fly.
* {{p|Bulbasaur}} is the only starter Pokémon in the main series to have a secondary-type in its unevolved stage.
* All three Johto starters stay a single type throughout their evolutionary lines, while all three Sinnoh starters are dual-types by their last evolutionary stage.
* As of [[Generation IV]], every starter-type in the main series (with the exception of {{p|Pikachu}}) has had one Pokémon in its final-stage of evolution to have a double weakness; {{p|Charizard}} is doubly weak to {{type2|Rock}}, {{p|Swampert}} is doubly weak to {{type2|Grass}} and {{p|Torterra}} is doubly weak to {{type2|Ice}}.
* Two of the three Johto fully evolved starters, {{p|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Feraligatr}}, share the position of the fully evolved starter to have the longest name. However, they tie with the non-fully evolved starters {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}. Also, two of the three Unova starters, {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, share the position of the starter or its evolutions with the shortest name 

===Anime similarities===
* Ash has owned all five Grass-type starters: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. All of them except Bulbasaur and Snivy have evolved since then.
*Each {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon obtained by a main character was not battled: [[Ash's Squirtle]] and {{AP|Oshawott}} chose to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for his {{AP|Totodile}}. Brock did not battle {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to obtain it. May received her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]], and Dawn received her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based on lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. It should be noted, however, that a real life salamander is an amphibian, not a lizard; however, Charmander is based upon the legendary creature known as the {{wp|salamander (legendary creature)|Salamander}}.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starters of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first.

Lady (Trainer class)

2010-11-30T23:35:07Z

Wisesun:

A '''Lady''' (Japanese: '''おじょうさま''' ''High-class Girl'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation III]] games. They are depicted girls dressed in elaborate and fancy clothing. In {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Caitlin]] is referred to as a Lady. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, a notable Lady is [[Selphy]].

They generally use weak {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} but pay out a large amount of [[Poké Dollars]] as reward; the largest payout after a trainer battle recorded was 20,000. Many of their Pokémon also carry {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}}s.

Their male counterpart is a [[Rich Boy]].

Ash's Tauros

'''Ash's 30 Tauros''' (Japanese: '''サトシの三十ケンタロス''' ''Satoshi's Thirty Kentaros'') were caught during [[Ash Ketchum]]'s travels in the [[Kanto]] region.

==History==
[[File:Tauros Herd.png|Ash's Tauros stampeding|left|thumb|200px]]
Ash spent some time in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in the episode ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''. He was attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} as many [[Pokémon]] as possible, though all he ended up with were thirty Tauros as they always ran in front of his Safari Balls when he tried to make a catch. At the end of Ash's adventures in the Safari Zone, all thirty Tauros were sent to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory. This episode has never been aired outside of Japan due to the firearms being a plot point. The dub merely mentions in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' that Ash caught the Tauros in the Safari Zone without the captures ever being depicted.

The Tauros' main characteristic is stampeding. This means that the lab is a good place for them, as there is plenty of space to run around. They have proved useful at the laboratory, stampeding to wake up [[Ash's Snorlax]] in times of crisis. However, the stampeding has caused mishaps. The first time Ash returned to [[Pallet Town]], they stampeded through a fence. Later, they stampeded through the lab, leaving a mess and a large hole in the wall.

Ash began using Tauros when he needed a replacement for Snorlax for his battle for the Winner's Cup of the [[Orange League]] in ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. He sent the now-sleeping {{AP|Snorlax}} to Oak's for one of his Tauros to see if the "beginner's luck" strategy he had used in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] with {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} would work again. After an initial failure when hit with a {{p|Gengar}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}}, Tauros managed to defeat a {{p|Venusaur}} on his own during the battle, subsequently helping to weaken [[Drake's Dragonite]] for Pikachu to land the final blow. He then stayed in his [[Poké Ball]] until Ash returned him to the herd when he returned to Pallet Town.
[[File:Ash Tauros BF.png|Tauros in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Tower}}|right|thumb|200px]]

The Tauros was used again in early [[Johto]] during the Pokémon Swap Meet. One of the events was a Tauros-battling competition, which Ash entered after exchanging {{AP|Heracross}} for Tauros. He ended up winning the competition — subsequently receiving multiple offers to trade Tauros before he explained that he wasn't there to trade — but sent Tauros back to Professor Oak in the next episode. Ash later used a Tauros in the [[Silver Conference]], where it was defeated by {{Gary}}'s {{p|Nidoqueen}}.

On Ash's return from [[Hoenn]], the Tauros were seen running towards him with his other Pokémon. However, they were just stampeding as usual, and Ash had to be rescued by [[Ash's Bayleef|his Bayleef]] before he could be reunited with the other Pokémon. He used Tauros again in the battle against [[Salon Maiden Anabel]] in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

==Trivia==
* {{an|Brock}} caught a Tauros at the same time that Ash caught his first Tauros. Because of this, some believe that Brock should own a Tauros, and the writers forgot about it in subsequent episodes. However, he caught it using one of Ash's [[Poké Ball#Generation I Poké Balls|Safari Ball]]s, and therefore it is one of the thirty belonging to Ash.
* Despite them all being captured in green Safari Balls, they all have regular [[Poké Ball]]s when Ash calls them into {{pkmn|battle}}.
* It has never been revealed whether Ash uses the same Tauros whenever one of them is transferred to him or if Professor Oak simply sends him a random one each time. However, it is likely that the one Ash uses is the leader of the herd.
* Ash's Tauros are the only Pokémon to be caught in a [[banned episodes|banned episode]].
* Ash's Tauros knocked out {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s {{p|Metagross}} during Ash's rematch against her in ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]'', becoming his second Pokémon to defeat a [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon. However, it knocked itself out in the process.
** Pikachu was the first, which has defeated a {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} and a {{TP|Tyson|Metagross}}.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} by [[happiness]], and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and a major representative of [[Nintendo]]'s collective mascots.

It is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, where it is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game, and has made numerous appearances on the boxes of spin-off titles.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Pikachu is a short, chubby, ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on the back, 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}}, and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

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.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.
====Gender differences====
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail that resembles a heart.

===Special abilities===
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.

As Pikachu build up energy in their 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 electro-magnetic 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.

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}}.

===Behavior===
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.

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.

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.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
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, although they have been introduced to many other regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Living in wooded 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.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" 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, probably due to to the fact that Ash's last name, Ketchum, sounds like a mix of catch 'em of "gotta catch 'em all" and ketchup.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash_Pikachu_HD.png|thumb|Pikachu in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pikachu]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[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 was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', though Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.

A Pikachu named 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, the Pikachu returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.

====[[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]====
[[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.

====[[Ashachu]]====
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]].

====Other====
At least 20 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.

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.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

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}}.

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.

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.

===Minor appearances===
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.

[[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.

A Pikachu belonging to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] prominently features a Pikachu.

A {{MPJ|Pikachu}} is one of the main characters in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]].

A more mouse-like {{TP|Isamu Akai|Pikachu}} that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters|manga}}.

{{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shū]]'s first Pokémon was a {{OBP|Pikachu|Get da ze!}} he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

A story called "Akari and Pikachu's Birthday" is featured in the final volume of [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]].

In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]], {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} was in possession of a Pikachu, which ended up being [[Eusine]]'s.

A Pikachu makes a cameo in [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] during one of the battles. Also, a photo album owned by {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} has a Pikachu on the cover.
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:PSPikachu.jpg|thumb|right|Pikachu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & 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.

In the ninth volume, {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] 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.

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 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 "put together." The egg eventually hatches into {{adv|Gold}}'s Pichu.

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the R/S and D/P sagas.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} 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}}.

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}}.

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.

==In the TFG==
One Pikachu figure has been released.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Saffron City]].

In the hands of a skilled player, 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.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
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]].

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.

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
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.

=====Adventure Mode=====
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}}.

=====All-Star Mode=====
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.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Pikachu_Brawl.jpg|140px|thumb|right|Pikachu in Brawl]]
Pikachu is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its Final Smash move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
It has different designs for hats including Red's hat from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

{{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}}

====Subspace Emissary====
Pikachu is first seen in the "Research Facility" stage where it is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain, {{wp|Samus Aran|Zero Suit Samus}} saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{wp|R.O.B}} Sentries. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. The suit is soon recovered and then are soon confronted by {{met|Ridley}}. He grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. It is now that Pikachu returns the favor as it zaps Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack. After, Pikachu can be used to battle the final boss.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
*'''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]]:''' ''"Ooh! How cuute!"''
*'''{{wp|Solid Snake}}:''' ''"What? The [[List of Pokémon by color#Yellow|yellow thing]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"That's Pikachu. It's a [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Pokémon]]. They're popular all over the {{pkmn|world}}, you know. And it may look cute, but be careful. It can store large amounts of {{t|electric}}ity in those adorable little cheeks. It'll try to pepper you with [[Pikachu (Pokémon)#Smash Bros.-only moves|electric shocks]]."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Couldn't be much worse than [[wp:Ocelot (Metal Gear)|Ocelot's]] old torture device..."''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Oh, and, Snake?"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"What?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"I was wondering, could you maybe try and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pikachu for me? Pleeeeease?"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Give me a break! What do I look like, a [[Pokémon Trainer]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Fine... Sorry I asked."''

====Trophy information====
''"A Mouse Pokémon. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity. When it's really fired up, it unleashes thunderbolts on its rivals. It's said to recharge when it's {{status|Sleep|sleeping}}. It evolves into {{p|Raichu}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if one is detected in a Transferred Pokémon game.
* [[Pokémon Pinball]]: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Pikachu has the same role as in Pokémon Pinball but is sometimes helped by {{p|Pichu}}. Pikachu also appears on the Catch 'Em Mode banner.

====Smash Bros.-only moves====
'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''でんげき''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s standard special move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a blue sphere around the white ball.

==Trivia==
* The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based on (and in the Japanese version, named after) {{wp|Pulseman}}'s signature move, Voltteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in {{game|Emerald}} and on.
** A level 10 Pikachu knowing Surf and Volt Tackle can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] by defeating [[Stargazer Colosseum]] for the first time.
** Another way to obtain a Pikachu with Volt Tackle is in the Pokéwalker course Yellow Forest.
* Pikachu is the smallest, lightest, and the weakest [[version mascot]], likely owing to the fact that it is neither fully evolved nor legendary, unlike the rest.
* There is a Pikachu balloon with glowing cheeks in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
* In the games, Pikachu is the first Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is in all six regional [[Pokédex]]es, though it is only known to be native to Kanto. It is imported from Kanto to Hoenn's Safari Zone and Mr. Backlot's house in Sinnoh. However, it may also be native to Fiore and/or Almia, as their presence there is unexplained.
* Pikachu is the first {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, although Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon.
* On {{ga|Red}}'s final team in [[Mt. Silver]] at the end of the [[Johto]] games, Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon to be faced in any Pokémon game, excluding the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]]/{{pkmn|Colosseum}}/{{pkmn|Battle Revolution}} series and the [[Battle Tower]]/[[Battle Frontier]], at level 81. This places it one level higher than the wild {{p|Arceus}} that appears at the [[Hall of Origin]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, {{ga|Barry}}'s final party includes several members that are higher leveled than {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, and higher-level {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]]'s pond. However, with the advent of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Red's Pikachu is once more the highest leveled trained Pokémon, at level 88, and highest leveled Pokémon after the Magikarp from the Resort Area and discounting Battle Frontier-esque facilities and games as noted above.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex listing to have a {{pkmn2|baby}} relative.
** This also makes it the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of another generation.
* Pikachu is also the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order that evolves by way of an [[evolutionary stone]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon included in the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|original Pokémon Stadium]] that was {{p|Raichu|capable of evolving further}} when the game was released. Strangely, Raichu was excluded from the said game.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for.
** Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.
*In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* Pikachu has appeared in every non-special episode, as well as in every Pokémon movie.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Pikachu's sprite shows it having a yellow stomach pouch. This is never shown again in later games.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon to have, at the time, only had one evolution in it's evolutionary family. It is also the only starter Pokémon that is not a {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}} or {{t|Grass}} type.
* Wild Pikachu are available in every region except Johto. A player would have to travel back to Kanto in order to find wild Pikachu in [[Generation II]].
* On page 81 of Neil Gaiman's novella ''Coraline'', there is a Pikachu doll among the other toys in the illustration.
*Pikachu is the first Electric-type in National Pokédex order. It is also the first unevolved Pokémon in National Pokédex order not to have its name changed in the United States release of Pokémon.
===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s, such as mice. Its ears make it somewhat resemble a rabbit.
====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and チューチュー ''chūchū'' which is the sound of squeaking. It may be named after the {{wp|pika}}, a lagomorph, but this is less likely. "Pika" also means "quick" in {{wp|Finnish}}.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] as of [[Generation IV]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed by the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August 3rd, 2009.

Arceus is also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[dragon trio]]. The original way to get Arceus was with the [[Azure Flute]] which could only be obtained by cheating, while this has not been distributed [[Nintendo event|officially]] Arceus itself was once distributed at Toys "R" Us (unannounced) from November 7, 2009 until November 15, 2009 in the United States and Puerto Rico.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body is white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long, jutting away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist, the underside of Arceus's limbs also being gray in coloration, and with extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
[[File:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[Lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[dragon trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus is multifarious; it can change forms and types with the use of the special [[plate]]s.

Arceus is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon who can learn {{m|Judgment}} outside of {{m|Sketch}} or {{m|Transform}}. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}. Arceus is also the only non-Dragon-type Pokémon other than Smeargle who can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, although it must become a {{type2|Dragon}} (by holding a {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}) in order to learn it.

According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed or make certain things to vanish into thin air. Arceus also has the ability to halt time.

===Behavior===
While normally a kind, heroic and benevolent Pokémon, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if angered.

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]]. However, in the [[M12|twelfth Pokémon movie]], it seems to live in a wide dimension of stars and galaxies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In [[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]] it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus movie 12.png|thumb|250px|right|{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} in the anime]]
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen nor named, the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus' body to appear around their bodies.

Arceus makes a cameo in the opening [[The Greatest - Everyday!]], along with the [[dragon trio]].

==In the manga==
[[Image:Encounter Arceus HGSS Special.png|thumb|right|Gold encountering Arceus]]Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michīna]] rich and fertile. Damos then betrayed Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} and his team battle a wild Arceus in the opening pages of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and even [[Explotaro]]'s powerful [[Blast Burn]] attack is unable to damage the incredible beast.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

[[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|{{pkmn2|Shiny}} sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. The highest is {{p|Magikarp}} which can be caught at up to level 100 in {{game|Platinum}}. It is, however, still the highest level {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon available for capture.
* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. Before it was officially revealed, fans pronounced it as "AR-see-oos", as does [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Then, a promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' pronounced it as "Ar-SAY-us". Its official pronunciation was then revealed in a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag as "ARK-ee-us". Its original pronunciation is still in popular usage, however, and isn't considered to be incorrect.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon. {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|Previous Pokémon}}, among them {{p|Mewtwo}}, have only had a maximum total of 680.
** In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}. That means an Arceus would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at [[level]] 100 and belongs to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all, nor can it learn hand-based or arm-based moves.
* Holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can do so in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, {{a|Color Change}} and {{m|Transform}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]], instead needing the [[Azure Flute]] to be encountered in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake guardians|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]], although it or one of its forms probably would have been assigned DPBP#532 had that system continued to be used.
* The ring around Arceus's body appears to have a malevolent counterpart in the embodiment of the [[Red Chain]], as a red version of it is shown to ring Dialga and Palkia around the middle when [[Cyrus]] takes control of them in [[DP152]].
* Arceus is one of three Pokémon that can learn all of the [[HM]] moves, including ones which no longer have that status. The two others are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Smeargle}} through {{m|Sketch}}.
* Arceus is the one who is rumored to have prevented all Pokémon in the future from disappearing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. Dialga explains that "it was no miracle" that they were saved, and that "a greater power" saved them all. Arceus is the leader of the dragon trio, of which Dialga is a member.
===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. It may also be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) [[wp:the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara]] who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a [[wp:Chenrezig|white four-armed manifestation]] (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).

Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''. Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest). Another theory may be the combination of Zeus and Ra spelled backwards. Zeus being the king of gods and ''Ra'' being the solar god and creator. Those two qualities are shared by the Pokémon. Nevertheless, Arceus's name origin and possible theories have led fans to believe that Arceus may be in fact a [[wp:creator deity|creator deity]] in Pokémon form.

Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" in television commercials and in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

==In other languages==

*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 阿爾宙斯 ''Ā Ěr Zhòu Sī'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name. 宙斯 also refers to {{wp|Zeus}}.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] as of [[Generation IV]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed by the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August 3rd, 2009.

Arceus is also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[dragon trio]]. The original way to get Arceus was with the [[Azure Flute]] which could only be obtained by cheating, while this has not been distributed [[Nintendo event|officially]] Arceus itself was once distributed at Toys "R" Us (unannounced) from November 7, 2009 until November 15, 2009 in the United States and Puerto Rico.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body is white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long, jutting away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist, the underside of Arceus's limbs also being gray in coloration, and with extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
[[File:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[Lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[dragon trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus is multifarious; it can change forms and types with the use of the special [[plate]]s.

Arceus is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon who can learn {{m|Judgment}} outside of {{m|Sketch}} or {{m|Transform}}. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}. Arceus is also the only non-Dragon-type Pokémon other than Smeargle who can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, although it must become a {{type2|Dragon}} (by holding a {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}) in order to learn it.

According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed or make certain things to vanish into thin air. Arceus also has the ability to halt time.

===Behavior===
While normally a kind, heroic and benevolent Pokémon, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if angered.

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]]. However, in the [[M12|twelfth Pokémon movie]], it seems to live in a wide dimension of stars and galaxies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In [[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]] it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus movie 12.png|thumb|250px|right|{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} in the anime]]
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen nor named, the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus' body to appear around their bodies.

Arceus makes a cameo in the opening [[The Greatest - Everyday!]], along with the [[dragon trio]].

==In the manga==
[[Image:Encounter Arceus HGSS Special.png|thumb|right|Gold encountering Arceus]]Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michīna]] rich and fertile. Damos then betrayed Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} and his team battle a wild Arceus in the opening pages of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and even [[Explotaro]]'s powerful [[Blast Burn]] attack is unable to damage the incredible beast.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|{{pkmn2|Shiny}} sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. The highest is {{p|Magikarp}} which can be caught at up to level 100 in {{game|Platinum}}. It is, however, still the highest level {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon available for capture.
* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. Before it was officially revealed, fans pronounced it as "AR-see-oos", as does [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Then, a promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' pronounced it as "Ar-SAY-us". Its official pronunciation was then revealed in a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag as "ARK-ee-us". Its original pronunciation is still in popular usage, however, and isn't considered to be incorrect.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon. {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|Previous Pokémon}}, among them {{p|Mewtwo}}, have only had a maximum total of 680.
** In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}. That means an Arceus would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at [[level]] 100 and belongs to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all, nor can it learn hand-based or arm-based moves.
* Holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can do so in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, {{a|Color Change}} and {{m|Transform}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]], instead needing the [[Azure Flute]] to be encountered in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake guardians|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]], although it or one of its forms probably would have been assigned DPBP#532 had that system continued to be used.
* The ring around Arceus's body appears to have a malevolent counterpart in the embodiment of the [[Red Chain]], as a red version of it is shown to ring Dialga and Palkia around the middle when [[Cyrus]] takes control of them in [[DP152]].
* Arceus is one of three Pokémon that can learn all of the [[HM]] moves, including ones which no longer have that status. The two others are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Smeargle}} through {{m|Sketch}}.
* Arceus is the one who is rumored to have prevented all Pokémon in the future from disappearing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. Dialga explains that "it was no miracle" that they were saved, and that "a greater power" saved them all. Arceus is the leader of the dragon trio, of which Dialga is a member.
===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. It may also be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) [[wp:the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara]] who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a [[wp:Chenrezig|white four-armed manifestation]] (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).

Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.

Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

Another theory may be the combination of Zeus and Ra spelled backwards. Zeus being the king of gods and ''Ra'' being the solar god and creator. Those two qualities are shared by the Pokémon.

Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" in television commercials and in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

==In other languages==

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Arceus
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아르세우스 ''Arceus''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 阿爾宙斯 ''Ā Ěr Zhòu Sī'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name. 宙斯 also refers to {{wp|Zeus}}.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] as of [[Generation IV]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed by the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August 3rd, 2009.

Arceus is also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[dragon trio]]. The original way to get Arceus was with the [[Azure Flute]] which could only be obtained by cheating, while this has not been distributed [[Nintendo event|officially]] Arceus itself was once distributed at Toys "R" Us (unannounced) from November 7, 2009 until November 15, 2009 in the United States and Puerto Rico.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body is white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long, jutting away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist, the underside of Arceus's limbs also being gray in coloration, and with extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
[[File:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[Lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[dragon trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus is multifarious; it can change forms and types with the use of the special [[plate]]s.

Arceus is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon who can learn {{m|Judgment}} outside of {{m|Sketch}} or {{m|Transform}}. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}. Arceus is also the only non-Dragon-type Pokémon other than Smeargle who can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, although it must become a {{type2|Dragon}} (by holding a {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}) in order to learn it.

According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed or make certain things to vanish into thin air. Arceus also has the ability to halt time.

===Behavior===
While normally a kind, heroic and benevolent Pokémon, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if angered.

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]]. However, in the [[M12|twelfth Pokémon movie]], it seems to live in a wide dimension of stars and galaxies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In [[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]] it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus movie 12.png|thumb|250px|right|{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} in the anime]]
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen nor named, the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus' body to appear around their bodies.

Arceus makes a cameo in the opening [[The Greatest - Everyday!]], along with the [[dragon trio]].

==In the manga==
[[Image:Encounter Arceus HGSS Special.png|thumb|right|Gold encountering Arceus]]Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michīna]] rich and fertile. Damos then betrayed Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} and his team battle a wild Arceus in the opening pages of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and even [[Explotaro]]'s powerful [[Blast Burn]] attack is unable to damage the incredible beast.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|{{pkmn2|Shiny}} sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. The highest is {{p|Magikarp}} which can be caught at up to level 100 in {{game|Platinum}}. It is, however, still the highest level {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon available for capture.
* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. Before it was officially revealed, fans pronounced it as "AR-see-oos", as does [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Then, a promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' pronounced it as "Ar-SAY-us". Its official pronunciation was then revealed in a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag as "ARK-ee-us". Its original pronunciation is still in popular usage, however, and isn't considered to be incorrect.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon. {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|Previous Pokémon}}, among them {{p|Mewtwo}}, have only had a maximum total of 680.
** In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}. That means an Arceus would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at [[level]] 100 and belongs to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all, nor can it learn hand-based or arm-based moves.
* Holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can do so in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, {{a|Color Change}} and {{m|Transform}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]], instead needing the [[Azure Flute]] to be encountered in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake guardians|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]], although it or one of its forms probably would have been assigned DPBP#532 had that system continued to be used.
* The ring around Arceus's body appears to have a malevolent counterpart in the embodiment of the [[Red Chain]], as a red version of it is shown to ring Dialga and Palkia around the middle when [[Cyrus]] takes control of them in [[DP152]].
* Arceus is one of three Pokémon that can learn all of the [[HM]] moves, including ones which no longer have that status. The two others are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Smeargle}} through {{m|Sketch}}.
* Arceus is the one who is rumored to have prevented all Pokémon in the future from disappearing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. Dialga explains that "it was no miracle" that they were saved, and that "a greater power" saved them all. Arceus is the leader of the dragon trio, of which Dialga is a member.
===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. It may also be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a white four-armed manifestation (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).

Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.

Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

Another theory may be the combination of Zeus and Ra spelled backwards. Zeus being the king of gods and ''Ra'' being the solar god and creator. Those two qualities are shared by the Pokémon.

Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" in television commercials and in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Arceus
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Arceus
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아르세우스 ''Arceus''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 阿爾宙斯 ''Ā Ěr Zhòu Sī'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name. 宙斯 also refers to {{wp|Zeus}}.

'''Mt. Pyre''' (Japanese: '''おくりびやま''' ''Mt. Pyre'') is a location in [[Hoenn]]. It has an interior and exterior section and is located on [[Route 122]].

Mt. Pyre can be considered a counterpart to Kanto's [[Pokémon Tower]] and Sinnoh's [[Lost Tower]]. It houses the many graves of Pokémon. Many grieving Trainers also visit the Tower to pay their respect. Also present within the mountain are thrill seeking Trainers who will battle the player when they come across them. Mt. Pyre can also be considered a opposite of the Cave of Origin for it is considered the beginning of life and Mt. Pyre the end of life-the grave.

An old couple that live on the summit of the mountain are well versed with the legends of Hoenn and are [[Phoebe]] of the Hoenn Elite Four's grandparents. They guard the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Red Orb}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Blue Orb}} that are sought by [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]].

In {{v|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Team Magma{{sup|Ru}} or Team Aqua{{sup|Sa}} will attempt and succeed to steal the Blue Orb{{sup|Ru}} or the Red Orb{{sup|Sa}} from the summit of Mt. Pyre and use it to awaken {{p|Groudon}}{{sup|Ru}} or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup|Sa}}. After the player has subdued the legendary Pokémon, the player can return to the summit to watch [[Maxie]]{{sup|Ru}} or [[Archie]]{{sup|Sa}} return their orb to its proper place, the {{player}} returns their own, then the [[villainous teams|villainous team]]'s leader departs. After the orbs are returned, Team Aqua and Team Magma are not seen for the rest of the game.

In {{v|Emerald}}, both Team Magma and Team Aqua will take one of the orbs to awaken Groudon and Kyogre respectively. After the player has subdued the legendary Pokémon, the player can return to the summit to watch Maxie and Archie return the Blue Orb and Red Orb to their proper places, and then go each one departs. After the orbs are returned, Team Aqua and Team Magma are not seen for the rest of the game.

Bell Tower

}}
The '''Bell Tower''' (Japanese: '''スズのとう''' ''{{wp|Suzu}} Tower'') is a location in [[Johto]] in east [[Ecruteak City]]. {{p|Ho-Oh}} formerly perched at the top of this ten-story tower, but flew away after the [[Burned Tower|other tower]] in the west of Ecruteak City burned down mysteriously.

==Geography==
[[File:Tin Tower Clear Bells.png|frame|left|The top of Bell Tower during Ho-Oh's appearance]]
The Bell Tower was once the perch of the legendary Ho-Oh; however, long before the time of the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|their remakes}}, Ho-Oh flew away, never to return. Many Trainers came to the tower, hoping to cause Ho-Oh to return to the tower, but no one had yet been successful. Finally, with the [[Rainbow Wing]] and [[Clear Bell]], the {{player}} is able to summon Ho-Oh to the Bell Tower to battle it atop the roof.

In Generation II, the tower was named as the '''Tin Tower''', and only the Rainbow Wing was required to reach the top. In {{game|Crystal}}, the Clear Bell summoned {{p|Suicune}} to the first floor of the tower, however, Ho-Oh would not appear until all three of the [[legendary beasts]] had been captured.

===History===
[[File:Ho-Oh Tin HGSS.png|thumb|right|Ho-Oh flying around the tower]]
Seven hundred years before the games' events, two nine-tier towers were built opposite each other in Ecruteak City. The towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people. The view from the top of the towers was said to be magnificent.

The eastern tower was said to awaken Pokémon, while the western tower was where Pokémon were said to rest, a similarity to the [[Hoenn]] region's [[Cave of Origin]] and [[Mt. Pyre]], respectively. Ho-Oh roosted at the top of the Bell Tower to the east.

However, about 150 years before the games' events, a lightning bolt struck the western tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze, but it had already burnt to the ground. Three nameless Pokémon perished in the fire, but Ho-Oh descended from the sky and resurrected them. The Pokémon are said to embody three powers: the {{p|Raikou|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{p|Entei|fire}} that burned the tower, and the {{p|Suicune|rain}} that put out the fire. When the Pokémon appeared, they struck terror in those who saw their rise. The three Pokémon, knowing their own power, fled, [[roaming Pokémon|running like the wind]] off into the grassland.

===Bellchime Trail===
The '''Bellchime Trail''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|スズねのこみち|Suzune no Komichi}}''' ''Ringing Suzu Path'') is a short path between the gateway to the Bell Tower and the Bell Tower itself. Formerly located as part of the Ecruteak City map, the location, which features trees in autumn colors year-round, has little of interest aside from the Bell Tower itself, though several hidden items are located here. [[Morty]] can be found here on [[Tuesday]]s and can be registered on the [[Pokégear]] before disembarking.

==In the anime==
The tower appeared in the episode ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', where it was referred to as the Tin Tower like the games of the time. Despite this, the importance of bells are made clear as the tower holds four bells on each floor, which will only ring if Ho-Oh or Suicune are coming. In addition, the bells on the top floor are made of crystal and will only ring for Ho-Oh's appearance.

Neither of the towers have any relation to {{p|Lugia}} in this continuity. This tower was also built later - after the other tower had already burned. It is said that Ho-Oh would occasionally appear at the old tower as a sign of peace to a chosen few who were [[Morty]]'s ancestors. However, several greedy people tried to take its power, burning down the original in the ensuing battle and forcing Ho-Oh to flee the tower. The people of Ecruteak City decided to make another tower in hope of Ho-Oh returning, though it never did.

==Trivia==
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a guest at [[Hotel Grand Lake]] by [[Lake Valor]] mentions a {{p|Ho-Oh|rainbow-colored Pokémon}} at the Tin Tower, using its Generation II name, rather than its Generation IV name.
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, the [[Pokégear]] radio will not function on the roof of the Bell Tower.

===Origin===
A Buddhist temple in the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]] city of {{wp|Kyoto, Japan|Kyoto}} is known as {{wp|Ginkaku-ji}}. Unlike its counterpart, {{wp|Kinkaku-ji}}, which is covered in gold leaf, this temple is ''not'' covered in silver leaf, though this was originally intended. A statue of avian likeness rest atop each of the two real world towers.
====Name origin====
The Japanese name of the tower, スズのとう ''Suzu no Tō'', could be translated either to "Tin Tower" (as it was in Generation II), or "Bell Tower" (as it was in Generation IV). {{wp|Tin}} is a metal that has a bright, silvery sheen, but is far less valuable than actual silver. {{wp|Suzu}} are a type of bell used in {{wp|Shinto}} rituals, which both the [[Clear Bell]] and [[Tidal Bell]] are based on.

Sage (Trainer class)

2010-06-01T01:48:16Z

Wisesun:

A '''Sage''' (Japanese: '''ぼうず''' ''Monk'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. They appear to be [[wp:Bhikkhu|Buddhist monks]] who are mostly only found in [[Johto]]'s [[Sprout Tower]], [[Ecruteak Gym]], and [[Bell Tower]].

They generally use {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Hoothoot}}. The ones in Ecruteak Gym use {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}.

In [[Generation II]] games their sprites were edited outside of Japan and Korea, presumably due to Nintendo's policy (at the time) of removing all religious references in games. This happened again in [[Generation IV]], only in the Korean version, removing the [[wp:Buddhist prayer beads|prayer beads]] and slightly recoloring their robes, this time adding a [[wp:Kesa (clothing)|red robe]] on their left shoulder. Also, their title is changed from Monk to '''Ascetic''' (수행자). The edit is not present in American and European versions.

Older members of Sage class are called [[Elder]]s. This has become a separate Trainer class in [[Generation IV]].

Kiyo

2010-06-01T01:38:37Z

Wisesun: /* In the games */

'''Kiyo''' (Japanese: '''ノブヒコ''' ''Nobuhiko'') is a {{OBP|Black Belt|Trainer class}} and the Master of [[Fighting Dojo]] who appeared in games and the anime. Students in his Dojo refer to him as the '''Karate Master'''.

==In the games==
Black Belt Kiyo is a leader of [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. At one point, Kiyo was the Gym Leader of Saffron City until his Gym lost official privileges as a result of a duel between himself and [[Sabrina]]. It has since become a place where he and his students train Karate. The {{player}} obtains a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or a {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward for beating Kiyo. Later, in [[Generation II]] he is found training at [[Mt. Mortar]]. To reach him, the player much travel through a lengthy maze section within the mountain. Upon defeating him, Kiyo will give the player a {{p|Tyrogue}} if there is an empty slot in the party. His Karate Gym in {{ci|Saffron}} is disbanded now, but one of Kiyo's students can still be found there.

His name wasn't revealed until [[Generation II]]. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} he is misnamed '''Koichi''' (Japanese: '''タケノリ''' ''Takenori'') due to oversight of original Japanese producers.

''"Hey! I am the Karate King! I train alone here in the dark! You! Battle with me! Hwaaarggh!
Waaaarggh! I'm beaten!"'' 
''"I... I'm crushed... My training is still not enough... But a loss is a loss. I admit it. As proof that you defeated me, I'll give you a rare fighting Pokémon."'' 
''"Tyrogue is a fighting-type. It evolves into a tougher Pokémon. Keep up the hard work. I'll keep training too. Farewell!"''

===={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}====
''"Grunt! I am the Karate Master. I am the leader here! You wish to challenge us? Expect no mercy! Fwaaa!"''

''"Hwa! Arrgh! Beaten! Indeed, I have lost! But I beseech you, do not take our emblem as your trophy! In return, I will give you a prized fighting Pokémon! Choose whichever you like!"''

''"Grunt! Stay and train at karate with us!"''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Kiyo_anime.jpg|thumb|right|Kiyo in the anime]]
Kiyo appeared in ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble!]]''. He is a former student of [[Chuck]]'s and is in {{pkmn|training}} to compete in the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. He desires to earn the trust of an abandoned Tyrogue near [[Mt. Mortar]]. Kiyo saves Tyrogue from a rock slide and later defeats him in human to Pokémon {{pkmn|battle}}, earning its respect. Tyrogue and his other wild Pokémon friends join Kiyo's team. In the anime Kiyo is not a Fighting Dojo Master, or at least it isn't mentioned.

He is voiced by 大西健晴 ''Takeharu Onishi'' in Japanese and [[Dan Green]] in English.

'''Sabrina''' (Japanese: '''ナツメ''' ''Natsume'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Saffron Gym]]. She hands out the {{badge|Marsh}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She is a young lady with psychic abilities, and thus trains {{type2|Psychic}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimorisabrinaoriginal.png|thumb|left|Art of Sabrina from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Sabrina RGBY.png|thumb|Full art of Sabrina from [[Generation I]]]]
[[File:FireRed LeafGreen Sabrina.png|thumb|Artwork from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]

Sabrina has appeared in every generation of Pokémon as the Gym Leader of the [[Saffron Gym]]. Known as "The Master of Psychic Pokémon" ("The Mistress of Psychic-type Pokémon" in [[Generation IV]]), she has had psychic powers ever since she was a child, when she accidentally bent a spoon. She apparently dislikes battling, but is hard to beat because she can communicate with her Pokémon telepathically. Her fame has grown so much that even Trainers living in the [[Sevii Islands]] have heard of her. Previously there were two Gyms in Saffron City, a {{type2|Fighting}} Gym, and a Psychic-type Gym. Sabrina used her advantage to defeat the rival gym and strip them of their Gym status.

She appears to the have the ability to see the future. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} she states that [[Generation I|three years ago]] she foresaw the arrival of another strong challenger (realized in the form of {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}}. After this second defeat, she accepts that the ability of foresight may be limited.

In {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Trainers must navigate [[warp tile]]s to find Sabrina hiding in the middle of her Gym. Defeating her will earn them the {{badge|Marsh}} and a {{type2|Psychic}} TM: {{TM|46|Psywave}} in Generation I; {{TM|04|Calm Mind}} in Generation III. The Gym maintains a similar style in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The warp tiles are maintained, as is the badge: Sabrina, however, gives no TM in Generation II and {{TM|48|Skill Swap}} in Generation IV.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Sabrina has received a major redesign, now sporting a vastly different hairstyle and changing her wardrobe from a conservative dark-red turtleneck to a completely new, more casual-looking outfit. After her initial defeat in Saffron City, she ventures outside of her Gym. She can be found at the dock for the [[S.S. Aqua]] in the [[Olivine City]] Harbor at any time on Friday. After the player has obtained her phone number here, she can be called during Sunday afternoon to arrange a rematch at the Fighting Dojo she once defeated.

Sabrina also appears in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. A large number of her Pokémon here are not of the Psychic-type, including a {{type2|Fighting}} {{p|Hitmonlee}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Sabrina1.jpg|left|thumb|180px|Sabrina with a doll of her former self]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Sabrina was the fourth gym leader {{Ash}} encountered. He challenged her initially in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', and had a rematch with her in ''[[EP024|Haunter Versus Kadabra]]''.

Sabrina inherited her psychic power from her [[Sabrina's father|father]], who had the ability to {{m|teleport}} from location to location, as well as telekinesis. It manifested when she was young, and it was soon apparent that Sabrina's abilities far exceeded her father's. She was able to use her psychic powers to do many things- teleportation, telepathy, psychokinesis, and transmutation.

As her power increased, she grew more obsessed with developing it. She became less and less emotional, using her abilities for destructive purposes. This caused a deep psychological rift. The emotions she tried to shut off developed into a separate personality- a young girl who manifested as a puppet around Sabrina. Sabrina's mind was divided into the cold, callous woman with a thirst for power and the little girl who just wanted to have fun.

Sabrina became the leader of the [[Saffron Gym]], and turned it into an institute where fellow psychics could develop their powers. Ash was headed to Saffron one day, unknowingly watched by Sabrina. Sabrina's younger self used her psychic abilities to save Ash and his friends from [[Team Rocket]]. The next day, despite warnings from a mysterious man, Ash challenged Sabrina and lost miserably. Sabrina used her powers to shrink Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, but they were saved by the man. He cautioned Ash that only {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon could defeat Psychic-types.

Ash resolved to catch a Ghost-type Pokémon. After a trip to the [[Lavender Tower]], Ash returned with a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} he had befriended. Ash challenged Sabrina to a rematch, but Haunter had wandered off in the meantime. Ash managed to escape Sabrina's wrath, rescued by the mysterious man once again, but {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} were transformed into dolls and placed into a dollhouse, where they met Sabrina's mother in the same predicament.

After talking with the man, who was revealed to be Sabrina's father, Ash returned once more, and during the match, Haunter appeared and started to playfully tease Sabrina. Haunter's antics delighted Sabrina so much, that she was no longer able to contain her emotions and started to laugh. This caused her two personalities to merge back into one. Ash was deemed the winner of the match due to the inability of Sabrina or her psychically-linked Pokémon to battle, and the young man won the Marsh Badge. Haunter chose to stay with Sabrina and her reunited family.

==In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga==
[[File:Lt. Surge and Sabrina.png|right|thumb|250px|Sabrina and her Mr. Mime (right) with Lt. Surge and his Raichu (left)]]
Sabrina is one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and serves under [[Giovanni]] in ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]''.

She is first seen on top of her Kadabra after Red leaves Celadon City with an experimental Eevee, commenting how perfect that is even though it was thought that the Eevee had simply escaped.
Under her boss's orders, she captured {{p|Moltres}} and brought it to Saffron City. She then used her Mr. Mime's {{m|Barrier}} to totally close off Saffron City from the outside world. {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika|Pikachu]] was able to pass through the barrier by using {{m|Substitute}}. He was then able to defeat Mr. Mime and let Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} in. At [[Silph Co.]], Sabrina took on Green, but the younger Trainer was able to best Sabrina by outwitting her than incapacitating her using her Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing}}, however she eventually broke free and found Red and Green (although Green escaped) in the room that contained the Badge Energy Amplifier. She was the one who controlled [[Zapmolcuno]] when it was created by Green by accident.

Later, Sabrina helped the [[Pallet Town]] Trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] during the [[Cerise Island]] battle. Sabrina's Alakazam created magical items called the [[Spoons of Destiny]]. When held by a strong Trainer, the Spoons of Destiny would point out a Trainer of a similar style and personality. Using these tools, {{adv|Blue}} was paired with [[Koga]], {{adv|Yellow}} was paired with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Red}} was paired with [[Lt. Surge]], and Sabrina herself was paired with {{adv|Green}}. It would seem that all eight members still carry the spoons to this day.

Green and Sabrina found themselves battling [[Lorelei]], who used her ice dolls to chain them to each other, something that proved to be a great disadvantage due to their lack of team work and Green was quickly knocked out.

Sabrina suffered severe {{wp|frostbite}} injuries. Because of this, she later traveled to mystic springs at [[Johto]]'s [[Mt. Silver]] to heal.

==In the ''Electric Tale of Pikachu'' manga==
[[File:Sabrina Electric Tale.png|right|thumb|100px|Kind Sabrina with [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]]]
The ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga probably presents the most sympathetic portrayal of Sabrina. She is a kind and gentle shrine maiden who runs a Gym in the mountains with her Abra. When she was a child, Sabrina's Pokémon were all killed by a gigantic Haunter that used {{m|Dream Eater}} to suck out their souls. After defeating Ash in a gym battle, Sabrina hears of the giant Haunter appearing at the Pokémon Tower, and went off to go defeat it. Unfortunately, she herself fell prey to the Haunter and her soul sucked out. But with Brock and Ash's help, Sabrina is able to defeat the Haunter. Although Ash tries to catch it with an [[Ultra Ball]], it kills itself using {{m|Selfdestruct}} rather than let itself be captured.

==Trivia==
*Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|エスパー　レディ|Esper Lady}}.
*She, alongside [[Erika]], is the only Gym Leader to have been defeated in the anime by Ash out of sequence with the games.
*Sabrina is the first Gym Leader in the anime to receive a {{TP|Sabrina|Pokémon|Haunter}} from a {{Ash|main character}}. The second is [[Gardenia]].
*Sabrina is also the first Gym Leader to have a Pokémon that is {{p|Venomoth|not of her}} {{t|Psychic|main type}}.
*Although Sabrina's official hair color is grayish-blue, there are many depictions of her with green, purple or black hair.
*Interestingly, even though Sabrina isn't an Aura user, one of her quotes in FireRed and LeafGreen have her describing Psychic abilities in a manner similar to Aura's description.

Gym Leader

2010-03-04T05:04:40Z

Wisesun:

A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the highest ranking member of a Pokémon [[Gym]]. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test Trainers and their Pokémon so that they are strong and resourceful enough to compete against the [[Elite Four]] in the games or the [[Pokémon League]] in the anime. If a {{pkmn|Trainer}} defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the Trainer earns that Gym's [[Badge]]. Once a trainer has earned 8 badges from a region, he or she is able to compete against that region's Elite Four or Pokémon League.

A Gym Leader's job is not just to test upcoming Trainers. They must oversee how their respective gym is run and to maintain it. Great care must be taken to make sure that their gym reflects the best environment for the Pokémon type and playing style of choice, usually an environment that suits that type of Pokémon used there (like pools in a Water-type gym or flowers and plants in a Grass-type gym). According to [[Morty]], teaching young people how to battle with Pokémon can also be the job of a Gym Leader. In the games, Trainers must overcome various obstacles and challenges from other Trainers before they can challenge the Leader. Gym Leaders may also be involved in other activities when they are not battling other Trainers or training themselves, usually something to do with their town's particular attraction or landmark. Gym Leaders can also leave their gyms without notice (as {{ga|Blue}}, [[Giovanni]], [[Jasmine]], and [[Wallace]] do), and even challenge other Gyms and the [[Elite Four]] (like [[Volkner]] wanted to do).

It has not exactly been made clear how Gym Leaders attain their position, but it appears that it varies for each gym. Some of them founded their gym and are self-appointed, others appear to be passed on through families, while a few are chosen by the other members of the gym. In the manga series, {{adv|Red}} and [[Falkner]] have to battle with Pokémon set by the Pokémon League, where those Pokémon are not controlled by Trainers and challenger is not allowed to let any of his Pokémon faint.

Although similar in nature, [[Frontier Brain]]s are not considered Gym Leaders and are thus not included in this list.

==Trivia==
*The three {{type2|Electric}} Gym Leaders all have light colored hair. Lt. Surge and Volkner both have blonde hair, and Wattson has white hair.
**They all also wear military styled clothes, with Lt. Surge in an American army uniform, Wattson in an aviator's jacket and Volkner wearing a uniform similar to that of the Turkish army.
*All Gym Leaders of the player's region give away a TM on their defeat, and all but [[Brock]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Falkner]] in [[Generation II]] give away a TM containing their specialty type of move. Interestingly, Brock's {{type2|Normal}} {{m|Bide}} and Falkner's {{type2|Ground}} {{m|Mud-Slap}} are of the other type of the Pokémon on each other's teams (Falkner has only Normal/Flying Pokémon while Brock has only Rock/Ground Pokémon).
**Of the Generation II Kanto Gym Leaders, only Janine and Erika give away TMs, containing {{m|Toxic}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}, respectively, continuing the type-specialty trend.
* Every Gym Leader that specializes in {{type2|Rock}}, {{type2|Ghost}}, and {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon uses {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Gengar}}, and {{p|Steelix}} respectively in battle.
* Johto is the only region that did not repeat types from gyms released in previous generations. This is likely due to the fact that there had been only eight gyms before, while there were seventeen different types.
* Even though there are thirty-two known gyms in the games, there has not yet been a gym specializing in {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon, although there have been two [[Elite Four]] members, [[Karen]] and [[Sidney]]. Only {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, and {{type2|Dragon}} gyms are not located in multiple regions. Each of the twelve other types has been repeated at least once, and {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Electric}}-, and {{type2|Fighting}} gyms appear in three of the four regions.
*There have been more male Gym Leaders than female ones in every region except for [[Sinnoh]], where there are four of each. Kanto also has four of each in Generation II.
*So far, all {{type2|Electric}} Gym Leaders have been male, while all {{type2|Grass}} Gym Leaders have been female.
*Even though they were called Leaders in [[Generation I]], this title did not appear in battle until [[Generation II]].
*The only Gym Leaders so far whose parents have been seen in the anime are [[Brock]], [[Sabrina]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Roark]]. They all train either {{type2|Rock}} or {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.
**Roark and Maylene are the only ones who have a parent the {{player}} can encounter in the games.
*In the anime, Gym Leaders seem to be forbidden from switching their Pokémon. Those that Ash encountered before [[Blaine]] did switch; however, since Ash's match against Blaine in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Gym Leaders have not switched out their Pokémon. In the games, they may switch their Pokémon as often as any other Trainer.
*For ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Gym Leaders. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: ジムリーダー　いのちをかけて　かかってこい ''Jimu Rīdā / Inochi o kakete / Kakatte koi'' "Gym Leader, put your life on the line and challenge me"
*In the Johto saga of the anime, none of the Gym Leaders had the exact same lineups as they do in the games.
**Falkner's {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} were completely replaced by {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Pidgeot}}.
**Bugsy used his in-game team, but had a {{p|Spinarak}} in place of {{p|Kakuna}}.
**In addition to her in-game team, Whitney had, strangely enough, a {{p|Nidorina}}.
**Morty used his in-game team, minus the second {{p|Haunter}}.
**Jasmine used her in-game team, minus the second {{p|Magnemite}}.
**Chuck used a {{p|Machoke}} instead of {{p|Primeape}}.
**Pryce used his in-game team, minus {{p|Seel}}.
**Instead of three {{p|Dragonair}} and a {{p|Kingdra}}, Clair used {{p|Gyarados}}, Kingdra, and only one Dragonair.
*Since Generation II, each region's eighth Gym Leader has had some relation to the Elite Four.
**Clair is Lance's cousin.
**Blue is the former regional Champion.
**Wallace is Steven Stone's friend and Juan is Wallace's mentor.
**Volkner is Flint's friend.
*In the Pokémon games, only six Gym Leaders can be found outside of their region. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Jasmine is in Sunyshore City. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Jasmine is also found in Celadon City; Crasher Wake, Maylene, and Falkner are in the [[Celadon Department Store]]; Sabrina is at Olivine Harbor; and Bugsy is in the [[Viridian Forest]].
* Generally most Gym Leaders' names are plays off the type they specialize in.

Valuable item

2010-02-27T00:06:02Z

Wisesun: /* File:Bag_Slowpoketail_Sprite.png Slowpoketail */

A '''valuable item''' is an [[item]] which generally serves no practical purpose, but can be sold at [[Poké Mart]]s, usually for a high price. In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, it is possible to buy some of these items for a discount (but only one of each per day) on Mondays in the morning in the [[Underground Path (Goldenrod)|Underground Path of Goldenrod City]].

==List of valuable items==
===[[Image:Bag Nugget Sprite.png]] Nugget===
*'''Japanese:''' きんのたま ''Gold Orb''
This is the original valuable item, introduced in [[Generation I]]. It can be sold for {{PDollar}}5000, making it the most valuable of all valuable items: and rightly so, as the Nugget is made of pure gold. It can be found in fields, caves and buildings, and may sometimes be given to the player as a reward for completing a quest or as a gift (for example, the Nugget Bridge in [[Cerulean City]]). They can also be found held by some wild {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Muk}}, and can be found by a [[Pokémon]] with the {{a|Pickup}} [[ability]]. In [[Generation II]], Nuggets could be received for 3 points by participating in Buena's Password Show at night.

===[[Image:Bag Pearl Sprite.png]] [[Image:Big Pearl sprite.png]] Pearl and Big Pearl===
*'''Japanese:''' しんじゅ ''Pearl'', おおきなしんじゅ ''Big Pearl''
These items, introduced in [[Generation II]], can be sold for {{PDollar}}700 and {{PDollar}}3750, respectively. While not as common as the Nugget is, they can be found in the [[underwater]] routes in [[Hoenn]], where they can be found on wild {{p|Clamperl}}, in addition to on wild {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}} in [[Kanto]]. These Pokémon are all based on {{wp|clam}}s, which produce pearls in real life. Additionally, some wild {{p|Gulpin}} and {{p|Swalot}} can also hold them. Because it is bigger and more valuable, the Big Pearl is harder to find.

===[[Image:Bag Stardust Sprite.png]] [[Image:Bag Star Piece Sprite.png]] Stardust and Star Piece===
*'''Japanese:''' ほしのすな ''Star Sand'', ほしのかけら ''Star Piece''
Also introduced in Generation II, these items can be sold for {{PDollar}}1000 and {{PDollar}}4900, respectively. Other than being rarely found lying around on a route or cave, they can be found attached to certain {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}}, due to their being based on sea stars. It was found in the coding that the Star Piece can also be held by wild {{p|Jirachi}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, although there are no actual wild Jirachi in the games. The Star Piece can additionally be found in the [[Sinnoh]] [[The Underground|Underground]]. Due to the Star Piece being a real piece of gem (and not only dust, unlike the Stardust), it can be sold for more money, and is generally harder to find. In {{game|Platinum}}, Star Pieces may be traded to [[Mr. Fuego]] in the [[Fuego Ironworks]] for one of each of the colored [[shard]]s, for use at the new [[move tutor]]s. In addition, Stardust can be found in {{p|Giratina}}'s Room in [[Turnback Cave]], after defeating or capturing Giratina, when the {{player}} takes between 16 and 30 rooms to get there.

===[[Image:Bag Tinymushroom Sprite.png]] [[Image:Big Mushroom sprite.png]] TinyMushroom and Big Mushroom===
*'''Japanese:''' ちいさなキノコ ''Tiny Mushroom'', おおきなキノコ ''Big Mushroom''
These items were also introduced in Generation II, and can be sold for {{PDollar}}250 and {{PDollar}}2500, respectively. They can sometimes be found lying around, particularly in caves and forests, and can also be held by wild {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}. These items are very valuable to certain maniacal fan segments, according to the games. These items actually serve a purpose as an [[exchangeable item]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as they can be given to the [[Move relearner]] (two TinyMushrooms or one Big Mushroom) to teach a Pokémon a move it is capable of learning through level-up, even if the Pokémon is of a higher level than when a certain move is learned. However, they don't serve any other purpose on any of the other games they appear in, so they are included in this list.

===[[File:Bag_Slowpoketail_Sprite.png]] Slowpoketail===
*'''Japanese:''' おいしいシッポ ''Delicious Tail''
Introduced in Generation II. Offered by [[Team Rocket]] on [[Route 32]] for {{PDollar}}1,000,000, the player must refuse (as that is one more [[Pokémon Dollar]] than can be carried) and save all the {{p|Slowpoke}} Team Rocket has kidnapped. The item later appears in a shop Team Rocket is running in [[Mahogany Town]] for the much more affordable price of {{PDollar}}9800, but it can only be bought before meeting [[Lance]] at the [[Lake of Rage]], at which point the shop won't sell anything until Team Rocket is defeated in [[Goldenrod City]]. The item is never seen again after meeting Lance.

The Slowpoketail is actually a useless item with no function past its monetary value. Although it is said that a Slowpoke will use its tail for fishing, a Slowpoketail has no effect on fishing at all, nor does it have any effect on {{p|Shellder}} despite the fact that contact with a Slowpoke's tail usually induces a spiral evolution.

One key point of interest is when first introduced, the Team Rocket member mentions the Slowpoketail's value as a delicacy, being the first time that it is ever mentioned of the use of any Pokémon as an actual food (for human consumption), a rather controversial subject of what kind of creature is the contributor of meat (of any kind) in the Pokémon world. This is also the first time that Pokémon cruelty is mentioned explicitly.

===Gold and Silver Leaves===
*'''Japanese:''' きんのはっぱ ''Gold Leaf'', ぎんのはっぱ ''Silver Leaf''
Only appearing in [[Generation II]] games, they are mostly found being held by certain Pokémon traded from [[Generation I]] games. Price {{Pdollar}}1000.

===Brick Piece===
*'''Japanese:''' かわらのかけら ''Tile Piece''
Only appearing in [[Generation II]] games, is mostly found being held by certain species of Pokémon that have been traded from [[Generation I]] games. Price {{Pdollar}}50.

===[[Image:Bag Rare Bone Sprite.png]] Rare Bone===
*'''Japanese:''' きちょうなホネ ''Valuable Bone''
This item was introduced in [[Generation IV]], and sells for {{PDollar}}5000, the equivalent of a Nugget. It can be found in the [[The Underground|Sinnoh Underground]]. Others can be found in {{p|Giratina}}'s room in [[Turnback Cave]] when the player returns after defeating or capturing Giratina and takes between 4 and 15 rooms to get there. It counts toward the [[Fossil]] count if found in the Underground.

==Bargain Shop==
In the [[Underground Path (Goldenrod)|Goldenrod Underground]] on Monday mornings in the [[Generation II]] games, as well as in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a man sells a set of valuable items for a discount. However, each one can only be purchased once per week.

{{shop|}}

{{shoprow|{{shopitem|Big Pearl|3500}}|{{shopitem|Stardust|900}}}}
{{shoprow|{{shopitem|Star Piece|4600}}}}
{{shopfooter}}

As one may notice, the prices shown are slightly cheaper than the normal sell prices. This is effective in helping players make profit.

'''Pewter City''' (Japanese: '''ニビシティ''' ''Nibi City'') is a city located in northwest [[Kanto]]. The locale lies between [[Viridian Forest]] (via {{rt|2}}) and [[Mt. Moon]] (via {{rt|3}}). The most notable resident of the city is [[Brock]], the Pewter City [[Gym Leader]].

==Places of interest==
===Pewter Museum of Science===
{{main|Pewter Museum of Science}}
[[Image:PewtercityMuseum-ext-frlg.png|thumb|left|left|Exterior View of the Museum in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
A famous museum is located in the northwestern part of Pewter City and is one of the city's main attractions. The main building is open to the public for {{PDollar}}50 and features several historical artifacts, including {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}} [[fossil]]s, and a model of a space shuttle.

There are two floors to explore in the Pewter Museum of Science. The first floor holds the front desk and a fossil exhibit containing the fossils of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. The second floor hosts a space exhibit featuring a Space Shuttle and a large {{evostone|Moon Stone}} that fell onto [[Mt. Moon]] The {{player}} is able to explore the museum at any time, after paying the {{pdollar}}50 admission fee.

Once the ability to use {{m|Cut}} out of battle is gained, the player can sneak into the back of the museum and acquire the [[Old Amber]] from a scientist there, allowing the player to revive an Aerodactyl later in the game. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there is also a [[move tutor]] who will teach {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

The museum is closed for renovations during [[Generation II]].

In [[Generation IV]], however, the museum is open for business. There is a scientist in the museum who will revive a player's fossils, much like the scientist at [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} and FireRed and LeafGreen. This is due to the fact that Fossils can be found under rocks using {{m|Rock Smash}} unlike in Generation II where players were required to transfer Fossil {{obp|Pokémon|species}} from the [[Generation I]] [[Pokémon games|games]] using the [[Time Capsule]].

==Pewter Gym==
[[Image:Pewter Gym FRLG.png|thumb|Pewter Gym in {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}}.]]
{{main|Pewter Gym}}
The Pewter Gym is the official [[gym]] of Pewter City. It is based on {{type2|Rock}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Brock]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that defeat him receive the {{badge|Boulder}}.

Other known members include [[Camper]] Jerry, Camper Liam, Brock's father, {{ka|Flint}}, and Brock's mother, [[Lola]].

Pewter Gym appears in all {{pkmn|games}} set in the [[Kanto]] region, appearing much the same in each: a small building with a {{wp|Japanese rock garden}} inside, one trainer, and the Gym Leader Brock waiting on a large stone pedestal. In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, whenever the [[player character|player]] tries to leave Pewter City, a boy will lead him or her to the front of the gym if the player has not earned their Boulder Badge yet.

==Demographics==
The population of Pewter City is 31.

==In the anime==
Episodes in Pewter City commonly focus on the [[Pewter Gym]]. While its legacy is of a strong [[Gym]] "as rough and tough as the stones themselves" was kept under [[Brock]], [[Lola|his mother]] has recently added a brighter color scheme. The [[Gym Leader|Gym Leader's]] family lives in a house by the side of the Gym, in which Brock's nine siblings and parents currently reside.

Around the outskirts of the city, there is a [[Contest Hall]] and one of the locations of the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}. Pewter City is also the hometown of [[Solidad]], the winner of the [[Kanto Grand Festival]].

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
Pewter City is first visited in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'' and ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. The citizens are business people that have tents in the streets where they sell principally fruits and vegetables which a roaming [[Pika|Pikachu]] tried to steal. After {{adv|Red}} caught it, the citizens of the city gave Red a big feast. They also enjoy to watch the battles of the {{pkmn|trainers}} who challenge the [[Pewter Gym]]. The city has a [[Pokémon Center]], but during this time, it is closed due to vandalism, later revealed to be caused by the "bad" [[Gym Leader|Gym Leaders]] in an effort to make [[Brock]] give up his [[badge|gym badge]] for their plans.

It later made a brief appearance in ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} when the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] had been set on fire by Two {{p|Magmar}}.

==Trivia==

*Its Japanese motto is {{tt|ニビははいいろいしのいろ |Nibi is the color of gray stone}}.
* In [[Generation I]], the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] housed a model of the {{wp|Space Shuttle Columbia}}. However, due to {{wp|Space_Shuttle_Columbia_disaster|the shuttle's 2003 fatal accident}}, it is simply called "Space Shuttle" in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Rustboro City]] are very similar to Pewter City. Their geographic locations in their respective [[Region|regions]] are remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest during the beginning of the game. Rustboro is, however, the most like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a [[gym]], but first to be beat by the {{player}}. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in {{type2|Rock}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}, and play a role in the player obtaining [[fossil]] Pokémon.
* In [[Generation I]], the young man who prevents the player from leaving via [[Route 4]] before defeating [[Brock]] will walk off to the right hand side of the screen upon showing the player to the [[Pewter Gym]]. How he accomplishes this and returns to his original position is unknown, given the presence of a fence preventing the player from doing the same.
*The French name of the city is the same as the English name of [[Hall Matron Argenta]].

Pokémon League

2010-02-26T23:44:39Z

Wisesun:

:''This article is about Pokémon League Championship. For the location in Sinnoh, see [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)]]. For the element in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, see [[Pokémon League (TCG)]]''
----
The '''Pokémon League''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリーグ''') is the official group that organizes competitions for registered [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. It serves as an umbrella that oversees the regional leagues.

There are five known regional leagues under the Pokémon League: the [[Indigo League]] in the [[Kanto]] region, the [[Orange League]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], the [[Johto League]] in the [[Johto]] region, the [[Hoenn League]] in the [[Hoenn]] region, and the [[Sinnoh League]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region. It is uncertain whether or not the competition in the [[Whirl Islands]] is sanctioned under the Pokémon League.

In order to participate in regional competitions, one must acquire a certain number of [[Gym]] [[Badges]] signifying the defeat of that region's [[Gym Leader]]s.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the League is known for its many traditions, including the opening celebration which evokes the flame of {{p|Moltres}} (or in the case of the Silver Conference, the flame of {{p|Ho-Oh}}), alluding to the Olympic Flame.

The Pokémon League apparently manufactures and distributes Pokémon merchandise, such as [[Ash Ketchum]]'s [[Ash's hat#First hat|Official Pokémon League Expo hat]].

==In the games==
In the games, every region in a [[main series]] game has a Pokémon League:

*[[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] have the [[Indigo League]] and the [[Johto League]], respectively, both hosted at the [[Indigo Plateau]].
*[[Hoenn]] has the [[Hoenn League]] at [[Ever Grande City]].
*[[Sinnoh]] has the [[Sinnoh League]] at an [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|unnamed island]].

==Types of competitions==
There are two types of League competitions.
===Competitions against the Elite Four===
Qualifying Trainers may battle each member of the [[Elite Four]] along with the reigning [[Pokémon champion|League Champion]].

Winners will be inducted into the [[Hall of Fame]].

The Indigo and Johto Leagues share a single Elite Four and Champion that meet on [[Indigo Plateau]]. The other leagues each have their own Champions.

===Championship competitions===
{{main|Pokémon League Conference}}
[[Image:Pokemonleague.jpg|thumb|A championship competition poster. Note the usage of [[Elemental types (TCG)|elemental type symbols]] used in the TCG.]]
Periodically, regional championship competitions will be held for qualifying Trainers to come together and {{pkmn|battle}} their [[Pokémon]]. Hundreds of the best Trainers participate in these competitions.

Rules vary from region to region, but generally championship competitions are divided into three parts: qualifying rounds, preliminary rounds, and final rounds. Highly skilled Trainers will move on to compete with a smaller pool of competitors. The Trainer that defeats all other competitors is deemed the winner of the competition. Losing Trainers who participate in the competitions will be ranked accordingly.

Chairman [[Charles Goodshow]] serves as the president of the League Competition Committee and oversees all the regional competitions.

==Pokémon League Competitions Across Continuities==
===In the games===
In the game continuity, the Pokémon League challenge consists solely of collecting 8 badges and challenging that Region's Elite Four.

===In the anime===
In the anime continuity, the League challenge is a tournament. Trainers qualify by having at least 8 Gym Badges from the relevant region, and then an elimination tournament takes place between the qualifying Trainers. The winner of the tournament is invited to challenge that region's Elite Four in battle. If the Trainer defeats the Elite Four, it is most likely they are eligible to join that region's Elite Four whenever one of the members retires, similar to the reward for the Battle Frontier in the anime.

===In the manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Pokémon League consists of a regional tournament held every 3 years in each region. There are two ways of qualifying for the tournament - either by having eight Gym Badges or defeating a large number of other applicants without Gym Badges in preliminary rounds. The Pokémon League is sanctioned and run by the [[Pokémon Association]]. In addition, in the Pokémon Adventures manga, there is no Elite Four challenge. In Pokémon Adventures, Elite Four are simply powerful groups of four Trainers from each region who ally themselves with each other for power, and their activities are not sanctioned by the Pokémon League or related to the Pokémon Association - indeed, the activities of Kanto's Elite Four were villainous in nature, while the Hoenn Elite Four were a group of Steven Stone's friends he gathered to help fight Team Aqua and Team Magma, and the Johto Elite Four's members are comprised of members of ex-criminals who are seeking emotional support from each other by training together.

[[Image:GRXDuel.png|thumb|right|160px|Duelling against Ronald alias GR-X]]
Ronald appears several times during the game. In the beginning of the game, when the player enters a club building for the first time, Ronald talks about Team Great Rocket, and uses the [[Card Pop!]] function with the player. He also appears after defeating [[Miwa]] at [[Psychic Club]], and if defeated, he gives the player a rare {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Super Energy Retrieval|89}} card.

Ronald is met again on the [[GR Island]] when entering [[Game Center]] for first time, as Ronald appears and gives away the {{TCG ID|Vending|Bill's PC|S3}} card. Shortly after that, he may be seen again at the [[GR Grass Fort]], now belonging to Team Great Rocket as member GR-X. He then challenges the player to a 6-prize match, in which he uses a deck focusing on {{e|Grass}} Pokémon. When defeated, he reveals his identity and gives one of both {{GB|2|Team Rocket's Ambition}} and {{GB|2|We Are Team Rocket}} booster packs.

When the player has defeated the [[Hiderō|Fort Leader]] at the [[GR Fire Fort]], Ronald appears once again. If the player defeats him in a 6-prize duel, Ronald awards him with a {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Computer Error|16}} card.

Magnet Train

2009-12-30T06:43:04Z

Wisesun:

[[File:MagnettrainGSC.png|thumb|right|250px|The Magnet Train station in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
The '''Magnet Train''' (Japanese: '''リニアモーターカー''' ''Linear Motorcar'') is found in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] during the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} {{pkmn|games}}. It [[Transportation in Pokémon|runs]] between [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Saffron City]] twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. It allows rapid travel between the two cities, going at over 340 miles per hour.

Initially, the train is out of service as a minion of [[Team Rocket]] (who speaks broken English) has stolen a valuable part from the [[Power Plant]] in Kanto. After defeating him in [[Cerulean City]], players can retrieve the part from the Cerulean City Gym and return it to the Power Plant. With the component back in place, the train will have the necessary power to run.

To board the train, a potential rider must have a Pass. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} of [[Saffron City]] has one (given to her as compensation for the fact that the station in Saffron is built where her house used to be), and is willing to give it up as a reward for returning her [[Poké Doll]] that {{ga|Red|a boy}} gave to her [[Generation I|three years before]].

Of the two methods offered in the game to commute between Johto and Kanto, the Magnet Train is much faster and runs more often than the [[S.S. Aqua]], which runs on a set schedule between [[Olivine City]] and [[Vermilion City]].

In [[Generation II]], the Magnet Train runs on the railway tracks along the ground. In [[Generation IV]], the train and its station run along an elevated track, much like a {{wp|monorail}}.

| [[File:Magnet Train on the track.jpg|thumb|The Magnet Train along the track in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
|}

==Trivia==
*This is most likely based on the {{wp|Tōkaidō Shinkansen}} bullet train that runs from {{wp|Tokyo}} to {{wp|Osaka}}. Tokyo and Osaka are Saffron City and Goldenrod City's real-world counterparts, respectively.
*In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Magnet Train tracks are visible from the ground, such as on [[Route 32]].

'''Unown''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アンノーン''' ''Unknown'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. However, as of [[Generation IV]], Unown has 28 derivative shapes. There are 26 English alphabet characters, plus two punctuation marks: ''?'' (question mark) and ''!'' (exclamation mark). That shape is determined by its [[personality value]].

==Biology==
They tend to stick to walls or orbit other Unown when in a group.

===Physiology===
Unown are floating, flat, eye-shaped Pokémon with appendages that make them resemble letters. They are black all over.

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

====Different forms====
Unown has 28 different forms, one for each letter of the alphabet, as well as '!' and '?'. These are chronicled in the [[Unown Dex]] in Generation II and the [[Unown Notebook]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
The '!' and '?' forms were not introduced until [[Generation III]].

===Special abilities===
Unown's only known move in battle is the enigmatic {{m|Hidden Power}}. In the anime, they are capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms (which isn't a unique ability in itself). However, great numbers of them are capable of warping reality to suit the dreams and wishes of whoever is in control.

===Behavior===
Unown can make telepathic contact with humans (and many other creatures also). Unown have a timidness that rarely makes them venture outside of their dimension.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Unown live in [[Alternate dimension|their own dimension]].

When they move to the Pokémon World, Unown seem to prefer to make their habitat in ancient ruins stuck to the walls, appearing only in the [[Ruins of Alph]] in [[Johto]], [[Tanoby Chambers]] in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unown Relic]] and [[Aegis Cave]] in the [[Pokémon World (Mystery Dungeon)|Mystery Dungeon world]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Unown anime.png|right|210px|thumb|Unown in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Spell of the Unown]]====
Unown play a large role in the third movie, creating the illusions which drive the plot.

Notes about Unown can be seen on [[Professor Oak]]'s computer at the beginning of the movie. The information (as presented in the Japanese version) has been cleaned up and transcribed here:
* Because of their very timid and careful character, Unown do not want to go out to the external world.
* Unown have the power to perceive the feelings of other creatures (including human beings).
* Unown communicate with each other over electromagnetic waves but cannot use telepathy.
* Given all this, Unown are still classified as a species of Pokémon, as opposed to any other sort of creature.

====Other====
An Unown fell out of the Unown dimension in ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]''. After it was healed by the group, it helped defend against Team Rocket and its mind merged with that of [[Ash's Larvitar]] so that the group could help it to address its inner pain.

[[Image:Tablet DP060.png|thumb|right|200px|The tablet]]
Markings of Unown were on a tablet in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''. Many Unown appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', also the same tablet from last appearence is shown.

The tablet is written (in Roomaji):
 ''FRIEND''
 ''SUBETE NO INOCHI HA''
 ''BETSU NO INOCHI TO DEAI''
 ''NANIKA WO UMIDASU''
 (In the dub, Dawn reads it as ''"When every life meets another life, something will be born"'').

===Minor appearances===
Multiple Unown also made a brief appearance in the ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' fleeing from Dialga and Palkia in a different dimension.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP263|Unown|Ash's Pokédex|Unown, the Symbol Pokémon. Unown are said to have existed since [[History of the Pokémon world|ancient times]]. There are many in [[Form differences|form]] and shape but little is known about this mysterious Pokémon.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Unown first appeared in {{PAV|8}} when {{adv|Gold}} and [[Bugsy]] were in the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Gold had his {{p|Sunkern}} use {{m|Flash}} to blind [[Team Rocket]], but accidentally disturbed the Unown from their slumber with the light from Flash. Bugsy later returns to study the Ruins further in {{PAV|11}}, where he captures an Unown (G).

Unown later appear in {{PAV|24}}, having been awakened by [[Sird]] from the [[Tanoby Ruins]] to use as a distraction while she fought [[Lorelei]]. The Unown later appear again throughout the volume, being employed by Team Rocket as living security cameras while impeding the progress of {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}.

It also appeared in DP saga when {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} were visiting Solaceon Town. Diamond and Pearl befriended two Unown (D and P) who behaved like them.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When one Unown is released from a Poké Ball it will fly off the screen. It then returns with a large swarm similar to what {{p|Beedrill}} did in the original [[Super Smash Bros.]] The only difference is that Beedrill only attack from left or right while Unown can come from any direction. Any opponent caught in this is damaged and juggled.

There are also a number of Unown Pokéfloats. In the second half of the cycle, a number fly across the screen. Towards the end of the cycle, staying on the stage relies on hopping between the Unown.

====Trophy Information====
These Psychic-type symbol Pokémon resemble ancient hieroglyphics found on rocks, a resemblance that's said to be more than superficial. Quite a few different shapes of Unown have been confirmed, and it's believed that each type has unique abilities. These enigmatic Pokémon can be found in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:Unreleased Unown.jpg|thumb|right|Unreleased Unown]]
*In ''[[Spell of the Unown]]'', [[Professor Oak]] had some pictures of {{pkmn2|unreleased}} Unown on his computer. They resemble a few {{wp|Greek alphabet}} letters, especially σ (lowercase sigma), Σ (capital sigma), Π (pi) and Ω (omega). However, lowercase letters have never been made into Unown before, so this may be an error or a misinterpretation by fans. The top-middle Unown may be also a variation of an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, the {{wp|Eye of Horus}}, or the Russian letter Я (ya). This may lead to the conclusion that there are more forms of Unown, being the prototypes of other known (or unknown) alphabets.
*Unown apparently generate a radio signal where they are found in large numbers, which can be listened to by any Trainer with a [[PokéGear]].
*In [[Spell of the Unown|the third movie]], [[Molly Hale]] owned a book that had Unown on the cover of it.
*It is the first non-legendary to be in a central role in a Pokémon movie.
*Unown and {{p|Ditto}} are the only non-legendary, non-baby Pokémon that cannot breed with Ditto.
*Despite being in the book of legendary Pokémon, Unown is not considered a legendary Pokémon.
*The two punctuation Unown have half-closed eyes; all alphabetic Unown have fully open eyes.
*If a player does not have Unown's Pokédex data on a [[Generation II]] game when in Oak's lab in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Unown's Pokédex number is listed as {{p|Treecko|252}} instead of 201. This happens regardless of which Pokédex display mode is selected.
*It has the smallest movepool of all Pokémon, learning only one move, {{m|Hidden Power}}, and being unable to learn any other moves through [[TM|TMs]], [[HM|HMs]], and [[Pokémon breeding]] (as it cannot breed). It shares this distinction with {{p|Ditto}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}, however they can potentially expand their movepools through the use of {{m|Transform}} and {{m|Sketch}} respectively.

===Origin===
Their appearances are corruptions of the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. The shapes of the Unown are used like runes in the Pokémon world, although in [[Generation III]] their place has been taken by {{wp|Braille}}.
====Name origin====
Unown's name is a corruption of the word ''unknown''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Icognito - From ''Inkognito'' (incognito); similar to the English corruption of "unknown".
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Zarbi - From the word ''bizarre'' in {{wp|verlan}}, a youth language.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 안농 ''Annong''
*Norwegian: Ukjent - ''Unknown'', only in episode 264 - Address Unown, where it was mistakenly translated.
*Swedish: Okänd - ''Unknown'', only in episode 264 - Address Unown, where it was mistakenly translated. Also of note was that they always referred to the Unown with very bad grammar, for example: "the place where Unknown comes from".

'''Ho-Oh''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホウオウ''' ''Houou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Lugia}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Ho-Oh is the [[version mascot]] of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} and its remake, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}}, appearing on the boxart of both.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ho-Oh is a phoenix-like bird with gold and red being its dominant colors. Ho-Oh also has yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. Ho-Oh has a green stripe on its neck, a yellow beak, dark black rings around its eyes and a feathered-crest. Ho-Oh's wings are prismatic, causing it to trail a rainbow behind it.
====Gender differences====
Ho-Oh is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ho-Oh's most notable ability is its mythical power to resurrect the dead. Ho-Oh is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Sacred Fire}} and can hold [[Sacred Ash]].

===Behavior===
Not much is known about this creature, due to the fact that few trainers have been lucky enough to see it. It has been observed to be territorial at times when its nest is disturbed. It freely flies the world's skies in search of a Trainer with a pure heart.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Ho-Oh used to perch at the top of [[Tin Tower]] until the [[Brass Tower]] was destroyed by fire. It now presumably flies through the world's skies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ho-Oh anime.png|225px|thumb|{{an|Ho-Oh}} in the anime]]
According to the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ho-Oh lived in the [[Tin Tower]] in ancient times. When a war broke out, burning both the Tin Tower and the Brass Tower down, it created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, and all four disappeared. Later, a new Tin Tower was erected, but Ho-Oh since then has never come back for sure. A sacred flame from Ho-Oh burns in the [[Dragon's Den]]; it was obtained during the same war.

===Major appearances===
====[[Ho-oh (anime)]]====
A Ho-Oh appeared to {{Ash}} at the end of [[EP001|the first episode]], flying across the sky after the thunderstorm. Ash's Pokédex could not identify it. It was the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be seen, and was seen before most {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}.

After competing in the [[Silver Conference]], Ash saw Ho-Oh flying towards [[Hoenn]]. This encouraged him to get over his depression at his loss and continue his journey.

Ho-Oh was seen flying into the sunset at the end of ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''. This time, [[Brock]], {{an|May}}, [[Max]], [[Scott]] and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} saw Ho-Oh as well (on a slightly related note, this time, {{an|May|someone else}} other than Ash managed to identify it first).

====Other====


===Minor appearances===
Ho-Oh had a cameo appearance during the opening sequence for ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

In the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]], {{p|Mew}} transforms into Ho-Oh.

Ho-Oh made a small cameo in the introduction of the movies ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP001|Ho-Oh|Ash's Pokédex|There is no data. There still are Pokémon yet to be identified.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
[[Image:Ho-Oh Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Ho-Oh in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Ho-Oh was used by the [[Masked Man]] to kidnap children in his plans to capture {{p|Celebi}}, including {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Silver}}, five years prior to the start of the entire manga. Prior to the events of the GSC saga, Pryce had lost his control over Ho-Oh, and thus attacked [[Tin Tower]] using [[Team Rocket]] to prompt Ho-Oh to return to [[Ecruteak City]]. Ho-Oh was later seen at [[Indigo Plateau]] under Pryce's control, alongside {{p|Lugia}}, wreaking havoc and destruction.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ho-Oh (TCG)}}

==In the TFG==
One Ho-Oh figure has been released.

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Ho-Oh Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Ho-Oh in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Ho-Oh unleashes a spiral of {{m|Sacred Fire}} that deals massive amounts of damage to any opponent caught in it.

==Trivia==
* Ho-Oh, like {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, shares the first letter of its name with one of the games it is the mascot of: {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold}}.
* Aside from the opening theme song, which featured {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, and the [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]], Ho-Oh was the first [[legendary Pokémon]] ever seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** Ho-Oh is also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be shown in the anime, making it the first sign that the franchise would ever expand beyond 151.
* Ho-Oh's English name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Girafarig}}.
* Ho-Oh is the tallest {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, and is tied for the highest Attack stat of them all with {{p|Flareon}}.
* Ho-Oh is one of the only two [[version mascots]] with a wild held item ([[Sacred Ash]]). The other is {{p|Pikachu}} with {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}.
* Ho-Oh is one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if Ho-Oh is defeated (presumably by accident), the player has a second chance to capture it after becoming [[Elite Four]] [[Champion]].

===Origin===
Ho-Oh, like {{p|Moltres}}, is based on the legend of the {{wp|Phoenix}}; unlike Moltres, it is based on the Fènghuáng (the immortal phoenix of China). Many cultures view the Phoenix as a symbol of resurrection; this is seen in Ho-Oh, which was reborn rising from [[Sacred Ash|its own ashes]] and had a hand in resurrecting {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}.

On another note, the colors it bears are somewhat similar to a {{wp|Scarlet Macaw}} or {{wp|adarna}}, a mythological Filipino bird that is said to sing seven songs. Every time that the Adarna finishes a song, it defecates and turns to stone whomever it may land on. Its feathers change to a more beautiful shade, becoming more colorful and shiny just the same as Ho-Oh.

Also, Barangaw, as the rainbow god according to Filipino Ancient Visayan Deities, is also similar to Ho-Oh, being the Rainbow Pokémon and both being connected to rainbows.
====Name origin====
Its English name is simply another way of transcribing 鳳凰 ''Hōō'', which is the Japanese word for phoenix, specifically the Chinese phoenix, or ''{{wp|Fenghuang|Fènghuáng}}''.

Sage (Trainer class)

2009-12-30T05:26:34Z

Wisesun:

A '''Sage''' (Japanese: '''ぼうず''' ''Monk'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. They appear to be [[wp:Bhikkhu|Buddhist monks]] who are mostly only found in [[Johto]]'s [[Sprout Tower]], [[Ecruteak Gym]], and [[Tin Tower]].

They generally use {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Hoothoot}}. The ones in Ecruteak Gym use {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. Their sprites were edited outside of Japan, presumably due to Nintendo's policy (at the time) of removing all religious references in games.

In [[Generation IV]], older members of Sage are called [[Elder]]s.

Wisesun:

An '''Elder''' (Japanese: '''ちょうろう''' ''Elder'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]. The only Trainer of this sort is '''Li''' (Japanese: '''コウセイ''' ''Kōsei''), the Eldest of [[Sprout Tower]] [[Sage]]s. The sprite appears as Chinese or Japanese descent. It features an elderly nearly bald man in a large purple robe covering the most of his body, with a yellow robe covered over his right shoulder with the appearance of [[Poké Ball]]s in a square pattern. This attire is typical of Buddhist monks in Japan.

The title existed in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} but wasn't a Trainer class until [[Generation IV]]. Instead, it was just a honorific title that Sages used when referring to Li. Before the introduction of the class, Li simply belonged to the Sage class.

Although he cannot be battled, the Elder in the [[Dragon's Den]] has the same overworld sprite as the Elder in the Sprout Tower.
