'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is a friend and former traveling partner of [[Ash Ketchum]].
==Character==
[[File:MistyEP.png|thumb|left|200px|Misty as seen in the {{series|original}}]]
A stubborn tomboy, Misty is the youngest of [[The Sensational Sisters|four sisters]] who live in the Cerulean Gym. Fed up with her more glamorous older sisters, Misty left the gym with the goal of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]]. She met {{Ash}} when she "caught" him with her fishing line in a river between [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]]. She traveled around with Ash, [[Brock]], and {{Tracey}} through the [[Kanto]] region, [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]] region.

Her purpose was ostensibly to get Ash to replace her [[bicycle]], which he had accidentally destroyed when they first met. However, Misty often seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends.

During her travels with Ash, she, aside from training to become the best {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]], also acted as his coach in many Pokémon battles. She is somewhat considered as a rival to Ash due to their competitive nature. It was also her job to drag Brock away from women by his ear.

Misty can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for how easily she can be angered or frustrated, and how loud and violent she can become in response. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and can switch between them quickly. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, since though her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, there's many things she loves to do and she is very confident in her abilities in all aspects of life. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, however, and she has a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] which she designed to look like herself and gave to Ash as a gift. The one [[Elemental types|Pokémon type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type2|Bug}}s; she tends to freak out in most cases whenever she encounters a Bug-type, which was first demonstrated when she refused to befriend Ash's {{AP|Caterpie|Butterfree}}. However, bugs are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrots}} and {{wp|peppers}}. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are [[Tracey's Venonat]], [[Ash's Heracross]], [[Brock's Pineco]], and {{p|Ledyba}}.

Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match]]''. She defeated Ash in battle in the second round. Misty made it all the way to the best eight of the Whirl Cup, but narrowly lost to [[Trinity]] in the end.

[[File:Mistys fear of bugs.png|thumb|right|200px|Misty showing her fear of bugs]]
After Ash competed in the [[Johto League Silver Conference]], however, her bicycle was repaired and returned to her by the [[Viridian City]] [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash, especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and [[Violet]], called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend any significant amount of time at the Gym.

While working in the gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for [[Professor Oak]].

Misty reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' where she meets up with Ash and Brock again, along with meeting May and Max for the first time. During the episode ''A Togepi Mirage'', her Togepi evolves into a Togetic and helps defend the Togepi Paradise. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decides to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty. She makes three more appearances in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]''.

==Appearance==
Misty's usual hairstyle is a side ponytail which sticks out on the left side of her head. There are times she has let her hair down, sometimes when she goes to sleep. She has also been shown wearing hair extensions when she wore her mermaid costumes in the ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' and ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''. Misty is also notably taller than Ash but shorter than Brock. She has worn three main outfits in the series and all of them sport the colors yellow, blue, and red.

==Pokémon==
Either through the tradition of her family's gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train Water Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences. Her love of water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming gym leader, she has overcome her fear of Gyarados and continues to learn more about caring and battling with water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As she is currently residing in the Cerulean Gym, all of her Pokémon are there and none are listed as "on hand."

It was first seen under Misty's bag and after Misty had found it she used it in a battle against {{oi|Marina}} and her {{p|Psyduck}}. Psyduck used {{m|Confusion}} on a wave which Golduck rode and was about to crash into Psyduck until [[Team Rocket]] appeared and nabbed Marina's Pokémon. It was used with Marina's {{p|Starmie}} to get them back and Golduck throws [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's sub]] onto the beach. It hits the sub with a {{m|Water Gun}}, and stops [[Jessie's Arbok|Arbok]]'s attack with {{m|Disable}} then slams Arbok to the floor with a {{m|Psychic}}. And eventually send Team Rocket blasting off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} and saves Marina's Pokémon.

It was later used in the last part of the battle between Marina and her Starmie, it gets battered with Starmie's {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Bubble}} but shatters Starmie's {{m|Light Screen}} with another Hyper Beam fainting it. Misty tries to recall Golduck but her Psyduck pops out. Golduck then runs off and shows off its skills to a bunch of girls.

Golduck's known moves are {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Confusion}}, {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Fury Swipes}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}

==Future appearances==
Former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], Masamitsu Hidaka, stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make cameo appearances from time to time like she has in the past. He also mentioned {{pkmn|Contests}} in connection with Misty, although the translator neglected to mention what was meant by this.

Misty's seiyū, [[Mayumi Iizuka]], has hinted in her blog that Misty will make an appearance in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/mayumi_blog/45719533.html][http://Bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Kasumi_to_make_appearance_in_anime]. However, she did not appear at all.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Misty Dengeki.png|thumb|right|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} series based on the Pokémon anime.

She first appears in the chapter ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and tells {{Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later in the same chapter, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of the [[Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Misty MPJ.jpg|thumb|right|Misty in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Misty, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Misty and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
* Misty is the only one of the main characters to have [[Misty's Staryu|a Pokémon]] along with its [[Misty's Starmie|evolved form]] on her team at the same time.
* Misty is the only one of Ash's friends to have a [[Misty's Starmie|Psychic-type Pokémon]].
* Misty is one of only two main characters that has no parent revealed, the other being {{Tracey}}.
* Only two of Misty's Pokémon are not {{type2|Water}}: {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, though Azurill can {{p|Marill|evolve into one}} later.
** Also both of these Pokémon are {{type2|Normal}}.
*** Also both were hatched from eggs she got from other main characters and debuted in a different generation from their fully evolved forms.
* Misty is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to challenge a gym (albeit an unofficial gym), since she challenged and won against [[Dorian|the unofficial Johto Water Gym Leader]] in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* She is the only main character to have genderless Pokémon in her [[party|team]]. In fact, she has two, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* She is the only female companion of Ash who did not start off as a rookie. She is also considered as a rival by Ash and acts as his coach during Pokémon battles. Unlike Dawn and May, who are Pokémon Coordinators, Misty focuses on being a Water Pokémon Trainer.
* She is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being Togepi.
* Misty is the only one of her sisters not named after a flower, the names of her sisters being Daisy, Violet, and Lily. However, she does have the name for {{wp|baby's breath}} in Japanese.
* She is the only one of Ash's female traveling friends to not own a starter Pokémon. She battled Ash for a {{AP|Totodile}} in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', but lost.
*During the fifth movie, it is revealed that she likes pistachio flavored ice cream.
*It is revealed in ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'' that when Misty was young, she played the {{wp|tambourine}}.
*In ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'' Misty said that her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} came about when she was nearly eaten by one when she was a baby.
*Excluding [[Best Wishes]], [[Diamond and Pearl]] is the only series where Misty has not physically appeared.

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is a friend and former traveling partner of [[Ash Ketchum]].
==Character==
[[File:MistyEP.png|thumb|left|200px|Misty as seen in the {{series|original}}]]
A stubborn tomboy, Misty is the youngest of [[The Sensational Sisters|four sisters]] who live in the Cerulean Gym. Fed up with her more glamorous older sisters, Misty left the gym with the goal of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]]. She met {{Ash}} when she "caught" him with her fishing line in a river between [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]]. She traveled around with Ash, [[Brock]], and {{Tracey}} through the [[Kanto]] region, [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]] region.

[[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, however, and she has a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] which she designed to look like herself and gave to Ash as a gift.

|desc=Misty befriends a {{p|Golduck}} which lives on [[Kinnow Island]] who she mistakes for thinking that her [[Misty's Psyduck|Psyduck]] had [[Evolution|evolved]]. It was first seen under Misty's bag and after Misty had found it she used it in a battle against {{oi|Marina}} and her {{p|Psyduck}}. Psyduck used {{m|Confusion}} on a wave which Golduck rode and was about to crash into Psyduck until [[Team Rocket]] appeared and nabbed Marina's Pokémon. It was used with Marina's {{p|Starmie}} to get them back and Golduck throws [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's sub]] onto the beach. It hits the sub with a {{m|Water Gun}}, and stops [[Jessie's Arbok|Arbok]]'s attack with {{m|Disable}} then slams Arbok to the floor with a {{m|Psychic}}. And eventually send Team Rocket blasting off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} and saves Marina's Pokémon.

It was later used in the last part of the battle between Marina and her Starmie, it gets battered with Starmie's {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Bubble}} but shatters Starmie's {{m|Light Screen}} with another Hyper Beam fainting it. Misty tries to recall Golduck but her Psyduck pops out. Golduck then runs off and shows off its skills to a bunch of girls.

Golduck's known moves are {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Confusion}}, {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Fury Swipes}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}

==Future appearances==
Former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], Masamitsu Hidaka, stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make cameo appearances from time to time like she has in the past. He also mentioned {{pkmn|Contests}} in connection with Misty, although the translator neglected to mention what was meant by this.

Misty's seiyū, [[Mayumi Iizuka]], has hinted in her blog that Misty will make an appearance in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/mayumi_blog/45719533.html][http://Bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Kasumi_to_make_appearance_in_anime]. However, she did not appear at all.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Misty Dengeki.png|thumb|right|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} series based on the Pokémon anime.

She first appears in the chapter ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and tells {{Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later in the same chapter, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of the [[Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Misty MPJ.jpg|thumb|right|Misty in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Misty, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Misty and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
* Misty is the only one of the main characters to have [[Misty's Staryu|a Pokémon]] along with its [[Misty's Starmie|evolved form]] on her team at the same time.
* Misty is the only one of Ash's friends to have a [[Misty's Starmie|Psychic-type Pokémon]].
* Misty is one of only two main characters that has no parent revealed, the other being {{Tracey}}.
* Only two of Misty's Pokémon are not {{type2|Water}}: {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, though Azurill can {{p|Marill|evolve into one}} later.
** Also both of these Pokémon are {{type2|Normal}}.
*** Also both were hatched from eggs she got from other main characters and debuted in a different generation from their fully evolved forms.
* Misty is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to challenge a gym (albeit an unofficial gym), since she challenged and won against [[Dorian|the unofficial Johto Water Gym Leader]] in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* She is the only main character to have genderless Pokémon in her [[party|team]]. In fact, she has two, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* She is the only female companion of Ash who did not start off as a rookie. She is also considered as a rival by Ash and acts as his coach during Pokémon battles. Unlike Dawn and May, who are Pokémon Coordinators, Misty focuses on being a Water Pokémon Trainer.
* She is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being Togepi.
* Misty is the only one of her sisters not named after a flower, the names of her sisters being Daisy, Violet, and Lily. However, she does have the name for {{wp|baby's breath}} in Japanese.
* She is the only one of Ash's female traveling friends to not own a starter Pokémon. She battled Ash for a {{AP|Totodile}} in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', but lost.
*During the fifth movie, it is revealed that she likes pistachio flavored ice cream.
*It is revealed in ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'' that when Misty was young, she played the {{wp|tambourine}}.
*In ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'' Misty said that her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} came about when she was nearly eaten by one when she was a baby.
*[[Diamond and Pearl]] is the only series where Misty has not physically appeared.

Xxxplizit: /* Chart Error */

Why are the types in such a weird order? [[Image:Ani164MS.gif]][[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|?]][[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|!]] 21:17, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

:I think it's to separate the physical attacks and the special attacks. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

::Still, they should be arranged into the correct order. [[Image:Ani164MS.gif]][[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shi<--[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 06:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)/span>ny]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|?]][[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|!]] 21:23, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

----

According to the original instruction manual from my Pokemon Blue, page 33 contains a Type Chart that lists Ghost-Type attacks as super effective against Psychic-Type pokemon, not ineffective. While Generation I contained 2 Ghost-Type attacks (Night Shade and Confuse Ray; Lick was normal), neither of them were direct attacks and could not be super effective. However, upon investigation, Agatha's Gengar was indeed able to Night Shade my Kadabra for the full 56 damage. I don't see any Seismic Tosses hitting my Gengar. How can people say Psychic-Types were immune to Ghost-Types?

While the chart does list some oddities (Water being resisted by Electric, and using Poor to describe immunities while Bad is used for resistance), I think it's safe to say it's correct about this. --[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 05:49, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

:Uh, hello, Lick's been always Ghost-type. :p And it was ineffective against Psychic-types in GenI.
:..let's just say that RBY was on lots and lots of drugs. With all these glitches and a 'poorly' made type chart system, I'd say that. :p [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 05:55, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

::I don't feel like getting out of the E4 at this point, so I can't verify that Lick is Ghost or Normal, but I'm pretty sure it's Normal. However the fact remains that Sonic Boom and Seismic Toss don't hit Gengar, yet Night Shade hits Kadabra. Why does this happen if Psychic is allegedly immune to Ghost? --[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 06:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

:::So I got to my box, took out my Ghastly and tried to Lick a Pidgey and an Abra; and neither were effected. So I guess Generation I is just contradicting itself by letting Night Shade hit Psychic-Types... Oh well. --[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 22:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

== Chart Error ==

Generation I chart displays Dragon attacks being .5x effective on Fire. That is wrong as Dragon attacks do normal damage against all types except for Dragon, which is 2x effective.

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gablias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} Pokémon. Being such a powerful Pokémon, it is deemed [[pseudo-legendary]].

==Biology==

===Physiology===
A '''Garchomp''' is a fierce and predatorial dragon, known for its scales that have medicinal properties that can heal most [[Status ailment|illnesses]].

Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its {{wp|snout}}; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to {{p|Sharpedo}}. Garchomp have appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s, {{wp|plane}}s and {{wp|hammerhead shark}}s; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|tailfin}}; {{wp|horn}}s that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its [[Gabite (Pokémon)|previous evolution]]. It's eyes have black {{wp|retina}}s and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}} colored {{wp|iris}}'. Its {{wp|pupil}}s have shrunk.

====Gender differences====
A [[male]] has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the [[female]] does not. This may signify that male Garchomp fight more, leaving scars.

====Special abilities====
[[Image:Garchompgliding.jpg|thumb|left|Garchomp "flying"]]
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{M|Fly}}, and cannot possess {{A|Levitate}} it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey.

===Behavior===
Gabite has a habit of digging up gems and hoarding them in its nest, whitch may be a reference to the fictional dragon {{wp|Smaug}}. It is also known to be very tempermental and violent.

===Habitat===
Judging from its classification, it likely lives in warm caves much like its pre-evolution, {{p|Gible}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Garchomp-anime.jpg|thumb|[[Cynthia's Garchomp]]]]
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon, like in the games and anime, is a Garchomp.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
*Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other [[Pseudo-legendary|powerhouse evolutions]]. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
*Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}}. Similarly, though known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}}, including Quick Attack itself, in general.
*Of the [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon, Garchomp has the lowest [[Attack]] stat. Because of this, it is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat cannot exceed 400 at [[Level]] 100, with a maximum of ''only'' 394.
*According to the new Pokemon Tier list (updated September 2008), Garchomp is considered an Uber, joining Wobbuffet as the only 2 non-legendaries to be considered Uber in competitive battles.

===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine apperance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearence of a {{wp|jet}}.
====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', {{wp|Soil|earth}}.

Its German name, Knakrack, comes from {{tt|knackig|crackling}} and {{tt|Krach|crack}}. Its French name, Carchacrok, comes from ''Carcharodon'', scientific name of sharks, and ''{{tt|croquer|to bite}}''.

I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

=Trivia=
Alongside with its evolution [[Abomasnow]], Snover has the most weaknesses in the game, with 7 types super-effective against it.
==Origin==
Snover appears to have been based on the [[wp:daikon radish|daikon radish]], also known as the ''winter radish'', which are traditionally harvested and eaten during the winter. It's also possible that Snover was made to resemble a snow-covered [[wp:fir|fir]] tree. Its 'hat' resembles three mountain peaks.
===Name origin===
Snover may be derived from "snow" and "clover".

Yukikabli's name comes the Japanese words ''yuki'' (snow) and ''kaburi'' (head). Alternatively, ''kabu'' is Japanese for [[wp:turnip|turnip]]. The ''bli'' part of its name may come from ''blizzard''.

'''Abomasnow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ユキノオー''' ''Yukinooh'') is a {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Ice}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Abomasnow is a large, white creature covered in thick, white fur. Abomasnow's feet and hands are dark-green. It has a short, dark-green tail. Abomasnow has four green spikes on its back that resemble mountains instead of only having two; like it's pre-evolution. Abomasnow appears to have a bushy moustache covering its mouth, light-purple eyes and and large, bushy eyebrows that stick out like antenna.

===Gender differences===
The fur on a female's chest is thicker than a male's.

===Special abilities===
Abomasnow have the ability to sense snow from miles away. Not only can they sense it but when Abomasnow get too angry or form in packs, they have the ability to create high and low pressure in the air resulting in small snow storms. Also, Abomasnow's feet allow them to clutch into the ground making it so some of the harshest winds can not blow this Pokémon down.

==Behavior==
Abomasnow is a tad short tempered. They can get very territorial and because of this, they live spaced out high atop cold and icey mountain caps so that they can have their space. They are also very stiff Pokémon both mentally and physically. Because of this, they are sometimes hard to manage.

==Habitat==
Abomasnow dwell on snowy mountaintops.

'''Wynaut''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ソーナノ ''Sohnano'') is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.
Wynaut has the [[Abilities|Ability]] Shadow Tag, which prevents opponents from escaping.

Wynaut evolves into {{p|Wobbuffet}} at Level 15.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Wynaut is only found on [[Mirage Island]], where it is the sole species. It is unknown why Wynaut only appear there. Mirage Island is also the only place the [[Liechi Berry]] is found naturally. This leads to the theory that they need to feed on the Liechi Berry to survive in the wild.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Image:WhoWhatWhenWhereWynaut.jpg|thumb|right|A group of Wynaut]]
Wynaut first appeared in ''[[Camp Pikachu]]''. This Bright Pokémon helped [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and co. help the [[Pichu Brothers]] get to the next train to [[Big Town]].

[[Wynaut (anime)|Wynaut]] also appeared during the [[Blackthorn City]] arc (''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'' - ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''), But [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Ash's Bayleef]] and [[Ash's Noctowl]] were the only ones to see it.

In ''[[AG113|Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?]]'', a plan of [[Team Rocket]]'s backfires and sends everyone to [[Mirage Island]]. The only inhabitants of this island are none other than Wynaut, though it wasn't seen by any of the human characters other than [[May (anime)|May]] and [[Drew]].

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: {{p|Wobbuffet}} and Wynaut send the player on a mission into the [[Uproar Forest]]. As thanks for completing it, they help to remodel the rescue base. Wynaut also makes an appearance discussing the identity of the strongest Pokémon with {{p|Lombre}} and {{p|Bellsprout}} in the cutscene that unlocks the [[Western Cave]].

*Wynaut is the baby Pokémon that evolves by level the earliest, at 15, while most other baby Pokémon that evolve by level all evolve at level 30.
*By appearing on [[Mirage Island]] in [[Generation III]], Wynaut is the first baby Pokémon found in the wild in the games, while the others later would do the same in [[Generation IV]].
*Wynaut is the one of the two non-legendary Pokémon to be considered "uber" in the metagame due to its ability and non-offensive movesets. A Mirror Match or a Wynaut Vs. Wobbuffet in a 1-on-1 battle can instantly lock the game for more than 70 turns or permanently if both Pokemon are equipped with Leftovers.
==Origin==
===Name origin===
Wynaut's name is pronounced identically to phrase "why not?" Its Japanese name is almost homophonous with the word そうなの ''sō na no'', which means "really?" The French name seems to be based on a repitition of "Okay." The German name may be a corruption of "It's so."

Its name, when paired with the Japanese name of its evolution, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, ソーナンス ''Sonans'', makes for a potential perpetual conversation of "really?" followed by "that's the way it is," and so on, as seen in [[Camp Pikachu]].

'''Wobbuffet''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ソーナンス ''Sonans'') is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

Wobbuffet has the [[Abilities|Ability]] Shadow Tag, which prevents opponents from escaping.

Wobbuffet evolves from {{p|Wynaut}} at Level 15.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Wobbuffet's tail has two eyes.
===Gender differences===
Female Wobbuffet appear to be wearing lipstick.

===Special abilities===
Wobbuffet is only capable of {{M|Counter}}ing enemy attacks.

==Behavior==
When two Wobbuffet meet, they usually try to test each others' endurance. Even though Wobbuffet are classified as "Patient" Pokémon, a Wobbuffet belonging to a [[Pokémon Trainer]] often finds that his or her Wobbuffet tends to pop out of its [[Poké Ball]] by itself, shouting out in agreement of something someone said.

==Habitat==
Wobbuffet live in dark caves to keep their tail hidden.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=

[[Jessie]] has a [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] that frequently emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] to shout its name or cause what Jessie considers to be trouble. It has appeared in every episode since its accidental capture in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]''.

''[[EP173|Wobbu-palooza]]'' featured a town in which everyone owned a Wobbuffet.

=In the manga=
=In the TCG=

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Pokéball, Wobbuffet will stand on the stage in one place. Anyone attacking or running into it will be damaged by its {{m|Counter}}, including the player who threw the Pokéball.

Wobbuffet is also a Pokéfloat. It appears on its side and never fully reveals itself. When it first appears, it will quickly return off-screen but will then come back and remain to allow for fighting to take place on top of it.

====Trophy information====
A Patient Pokémon, Wobbuffet lives in darkness to hide its mismatched black tail. Even for a stoic Pokémon, this creature is a testament to self-control; it will not actively attack an opponent. Its Counter and Mirror Coat moves are solely used for reflecting attacks directly back at its antagonist.

==NPC appearances==
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Wobbuffet and {{p|Wynaut}} send the player on a mission into the [[Uproar Forest]]. As thanks for completing it, they help to remodel the rescue base. Notably, the Wobbuffet is the only Pokémon in the entire game that doesn't speak English.

*Its name, when paired with the Japanese name of its pre-evolution, {{p|Wynaut}}, ソーナノ ''Sohnano'', makes for a potential perpetual conversation of "that's the way it is" followed by "really?", and so on, as seen in [[Camp Pikachu]].
*Wobbuffet is the one of the two non-[[legendary Pokémon]] to be considered "uber" in the metagame due to its HP stat, attacks, and ability overcentralizing the game completely. All its trainer needs to do when using Wobbuffet is predict whether the opponent's next attack will be physical or special to deal double damage. They can also use Encore and instantly apply the previous move. In addition, because of its ability, a Mirror Match or a Wynaut Vs. Wobbuffet in a 1-on-1 battle can instantly lock the game for more than 70 turns or permanently if both Pokemon are equipped with Leftovers.

==Origin==
It is based on the late Japanese comedian 林家三平 ''Sanpei Hayashiya'', who was famous for repeatedly touching his hand to his forehead while saying one of his trademark lines, そうなんす、奥さん ''sō na-n-su, okusan'', "That's the way it is, ma'am."

In addition, its form and available moves are based on a [[wp:punching bag|punching bag]]; that is, when it is hit, it bounces back.

===Name origin===
Wobbuffet's name is a combination of ''wobble'' and ''buffet'', meaning to strike repeatedly, possibly referring to its action of slapping its own forehead. Its Japanese name is homophonous with the interjection そうなんす ''sō na-n-su'', which roughly means "that's the way it is."

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Woingenau - Means "Where to, exactly?"
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Qulbutoke - A play on ''"Culbuto"'' and the expression ''"O.K"''
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 마자용 ''Majayong'' - A play on Majayo, which means "That's correct/That's right."
