ZLB22: /* Altered Pokémon */

These are Pokémon and characters that were just a few of many different designs that [[Game Freak|GAME FREAK]] created. Only a few were added, and even those often went through redesigns before making it into the final product.

|epnum=Capsule Monsters
|epname=Capsule Monsters
|desc=Nothing is known about ''Godzillante''. It is shown to be breathing fire. As its name implies, it may have been based on {{wp|Godzilla}}. Godzillante shares a resemblance to a [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/manga/pocket_monsters/pm_01/09_fake_pokemon.jpg fake Pokémon toy] shown in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|1}} (p. 107). Its placeholder number is #23 as shown in [https://helixchamber.com/media/capsule-monsters/capsulemonsters_03/capsule-monsters-battle-screens/ the storyboard] where it comes from.

Nothing is known about ''Gorillaimo''. Its hat could be a reference to the character {{wb|Ninten}} from the {{wb|Ape Inc.}} game, {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}. It also resembles the [[Nintendo]] character {{dk|Donkey Kong}}. Gorillaimo could also be based on King Kong. Later generations have introduced many ape-based Pokémon.}}

[[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Ken Sugimori]] revealed in an interview with @Gamer magazine that there was a rejected Pokémon design based on the first cloned sheep, {{wp|Dolly (sheep)|Dolly}}. They removed it after deeming it "too controversial" for Pokémon. Since Dolly was born almost eight months after the Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green, it is likely that this Pokémon would have been intended for [[Generation II]]. It is possible that the rejected design was reworked into {{p|Mareep}} or {{p|Flaaffy}}.}}

Its name is likely a combination of 根っ子 ''nekko'' (root) and やぎ ''yagi'' (goat). In an interview, it was said that {{p|Sawsbuck}} was created before the idea of seasons.<ref name=ND204/>


Additionally, it is possible that some aspects of Nekkoyagi's design, such as its apparent goat inspiration and root pelt, were reworked as {{p|Gogoat}}.}}

===''Bimonthly Game Rev''===
===''iew''===
Volume 14 of the ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, which was published on April 1997 by MicroDesign Publishing (Japanese: {{jwp|マイクロマガジン社|マイクロデザイン出版局}}), included an interview with [[Ken Sugimori]]. For this piece, Sugimori drew several original characters in the style of Pokémon, but not from the Pokémon world.<ref name=MicroDesignApr1997/>

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Unnamed creature
|type1=Unknown
|img=Magazine top.png
|epnum=Pokémon Gold and Silver beta
|epname=Pokémon Gold and Silver beta
|desc=This creature has an unusual appearance, sharing characteristics with both {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}; in the case of the latter, a horned tail and multiple paws around its midsection suggest a similar top motif. However, this creature has its point located on its bottom, while Hitmontop has its point located atop its head. It's notable that at the time of the SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Hitmontop had a drastically different design that would not be finalised for a significant period of time. This in addition to the magazine's context, means it is unlikely to be related to the {{p|Tyrogue}} family.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|desc={{main|Tyranitar (Pokémon)}}[[File:248Tyranitar.png|100px|right]] 
This creature strongly resembles Tyranitar, being extremely similar to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan, rather than indigo belly, arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. However, at the time of the magazine's release, Tyranitar was not present in SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, and wouldn't appear in any revision for another two years. Thus, it is likely that this design, true to the interview in the magazine, was revisited and revised on its own merits.}}

In this early depiction of a {{pkmn|battle}}, Blastoise is shown without its signature water cannons. This picture is captioned "Karabajio VS. Mimī", which are not the names of any known Pokémon. Karabajio may be a reference to the Italian painter {{wp|Caravaggio}}, which in turn may reference how the {{wp|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}} are named after Italian artists. It also may include "carapace".}}

The "arms" on Kakuna seen in its Red and Blue sprite are commonly mistaken to be a sprite error, as they are rarely shown in any other media. They have, so far, only been shown on its Red and Blue sprite and one of the [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]]. In most depictions since, Kakuna's arms are always tucked up against its belly, apparently unable to move.}}

This early version of Lapras is recognizably similar, but visually quite different. Lapras's curly ears are not present, and the underbelly coloration ends under the lower jaw instead of including it. There are also no visible appendages or tail, but that may be due to the water.

The original design for Combee featured three larvae, instead of honey bees, wedged inside a honeycomb. [[Ken Sugimori]] noted that while the concept sounded "gross", it is nonetheless a distinctive and attention-grabbing idea, so the team decided to keep the design and tweak it slightly. In particular, Combee's three faces were simplified, based on simple faces found in old comic books, to make its overall appearance friendlier.<ref name=USUM/> [[File:Spr 4d 415 m.png|left]]}}

This art of an unnamed female character (with {{p|Squirtle}}) was featured on the cover artwork for the official strategy guide for {{2v2|Red|Green|}}, as published by [[Shogakukan]]. Sugimori had stated that he wanted to portray a trio of Trainers facing against each other, hence created the female character for the cover.<ref name=SugimoriTwitter1/> When Red and Green were being developed for a {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remake|s}}, Sugimori took the unnamed female character into consideration as he was designing the female player character, who later became known as {{ga|Leaf}}.<ref name=SugimoriTwitter2/>

A character named Green later appeared in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], whose design appears to have taken inspiration from both the unnamed female character and the female player character of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

The unnamed female character also appeared [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX cover.png|several]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|times]] in manga-styled instructions illustrated by Emiko Yoshino included in Pokémon papercraft sets (bottom).

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, a similar artwork appeared at the end of {{PAV|3}} (right). The design of the character {{adv|Green}} seems to have drawn inspiration from this unknown female character.

This creature strongly resembles Tyranitar, being extremely similar to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan, rather than indigo belly, arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. However, at the time of the magazine's release, Tyranitar was not present in SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, and wouldn't appear in any revision for another two years. Thus, it is likely that this design, true to the interview in the magazine, was revisited and revised on its own merits.}}

The original design for Combee featured three larvae, instead of honey bees, wedged inside a honeycomb. [[Ken Sugimori]] noted that while the concept sounded "gross", it is nonetheless a distinctive and attention-grabbing idea, so the team decided to keep the design and tweak it slightly. In particular, Combee's three faces were simplified, based on simple faces found in old comic books, to make its overall appearance friendlier.<ref name=USUM/> [[File:Spr 4d 415 m.png|left]]}}

This art of an unnamed female character (with {{p|Squirtle}}) was featured on the cover artwork for the official strategy guide for {{2v2|Red|Green|}}, as published by [[Shogakukan]]. Sugimori had stated that he wanted to portray a trio of Trainers facing against each other, hence created the female character for the cover.<ref name=SugimoriTwitter1/> When Red and Green were being developed for a {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remake|s}}, Sugimori took the unnamed female character into consideration as he was designing the female player character, who later became known as {{ga|Leaf}}.<ref name=SugimoriTwitter2/>

A character named Green later appeared in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], whose design appears to have taken inspiration from both the unnamed female character and the female player character of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

The unnamed female character also appeared [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX cover.png|several]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|times]] in manga-styled instructions illustrated by Emiko Yoshino included in Pokémon papercraft sets (bottom).

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, a similar artwork appeared at the end of {{PAV|3}} (right). The design of the character {{adv|Green}} seems to have drawn inspiration from this unknown female character. After the release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Green donned the same outfit as the female player character in the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen|fifth chapter}} of the manga.}}

These are Pokémon and characters that were just a few of many different designs that [[Game Freak|GAME FREAK]] created. Only a few were added, and even those often went through redesigns before making it into the final product.

Nothing is known about ''Gorillaimo''. Its hat could be a reference to the character {{wb|Ninten}} from the {{wb|Ape Inc.}} game, {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}. It also resembles the [[Nintendo]] character {{dk|Donkey Kong}}. Gorillaimo could also be based on King Kong. Later generations have introduced many ape-based Pokémon.}}

However, this creature has its point located on its bottom, while Hitmontop has its point located atop its head. It's notable that at the time of the SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Hitmontop had a drastically different design that would not be finalised for a significant period of time. This in addition to the magazine's context, means it is unlikely to be related to the {{p|Tyrogue}} family.}}

This creature strongly resembles Tyranitar, being extremely similar to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan, rather than indigo belly, arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. However, at the time of the magazine's release, Tyranitar was not present in SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, and wouldn't appear in any revision for another two years. Thus, it is likely that this design, true to the interview in the magazine, was revisited and revised on its own merits.}}

ZLB22: /* Altered Pokémon */

These are Pokémon and characters that were just a few of many different designs that [[Game Freak|GAME FREAK]] created. Only a few were added, and even those often went through redesigns before making it into the final product.

==Unreleased Pokémon==
===[[Capsule Monsters]] designs===

|desc=Nothing is known about ''Godzillante''. It is shown to be breathing fire. As its name implies, it may have been based on {{wp|Godzilla}}. Godzillante shares a resemblance to a [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/manga/pocket_monsters/pm_01/09_fake_pokemon.jpg fake Pokémon toy] shown in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|1}} (p. 107). Its placeholder number is #23 as shown in [https://helixchamber.com/media/capsule-monsters/capsulemonsters_03/capsule-monsters-battle-screens/ the storyboard] where it comes from.

Nothing is known about ''Gorillaimo''. Its hat could be a reference to the character {{wb|Ninten}} from the {{wb|Ape Inc.}} game, {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}. It also resembles the [[Nintendo]] character {{dk|Donkey Kong}}. Gorillaimo could also be based on King Kong. Later generations have introduced many ape-based Pokémon.}}

[[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Ken Sugimori]] revealed in an interview with @Gamer magazine that there was a rejected Pokémon design based on the first cloned sheep, {{wp|Dolly (sheep)|Dolly}}. They removed it after deeming it "too controversial" for Pokémon. Since Dolly was born almost eight months after the Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green, it is likely that this Pokémon would have been intended for [[Generation II]]. It is possible that the rejected design was reworked into {{p|Mareep}} or {{p|Flaaffy}}.}}

Its name is likely a combination of 根っ子 ''nekko'' (root) and やぎ ''yagi'' (goat). In an interview, it was said that {{p|Sawsbuck}} was created before the idea of seasons.<ref name=ND204/>


Additionally, it is possible that some aspects of Nekkoyagi's design, such as its apparent goat inspiration and root pelt, were reworked as {{p|Gogoat}}.}}

===''Bimonthly Game Rev''===
===''iew''===
Volume 14 of the ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, which was published on April 1997 by MicroDesign Publishing (Japanese: {{jwp|マイクロマガジン社|マイクロデザイン出版局}}), included an interview with [[Ken Sugimori]]. For this piece, Sugimori drew several original characters in the style of Pokémon, but not from the Pokémon world.<ref name=MicroDesignApr1997/>

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Unnamed creature
|type1=Unknown
|img=Magazine top.png
|epnum=Pokémon Gold and Silver beta
|epname=Pokémon Gold and Silver beta
|desc=This creature has an unusual appearance, sharing characteristics with both {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}; in the case of the latter, a horned tail and multiple paws around its midsection suggest a similar top motif. However, this creature has its point located on its bottom, while Hitmontop has its point located atop its head. It's notable that at the time of the SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Hitmontop had a drastically different design that would not be finalised for a significant period of time. This in addition to the magazine's context, means it is unlikely to be related to the {{p|Tyrogue}} family.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|desc={{main|Tyranitar (Pokémon)}}[[File:248Tyranitar.png|100px|right]] 
This creature strongly resembles Tyranitar, being extremely similar to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan, rather than indigo belly, arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. However, at the time of the magazine's release, Tyranitar was not present in SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, and wouldn't appear in any revision for another two years. Thus, it is likely that this design, true to the interview in the magazine, was revisited and revised on its own merits.}}

In this early depiction of a {{pkmn|battle}}, Blastoise is shown without its signature water cannons. This picture is captioned "Karabajio VS. Mimī", which are not the names of any known Pokémon. Karabajio may be a reference to the Italian painter {{wp|Caravaggio}}, which in turn may reference how the {{wp|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}} are named after Italian artists.

The "arms" on Kakuna seen in its Red and Blue sprite are commonly mistaken to be a sprite error, as they are rarely shown in any other media. They have, so far, only been shown on its Red and Blue sprite and one of the [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]]. In most depictions since, Kakuna's arms are always tucked up against its belly, apparently unable to move.}}

This early version of Lapras is recognizably similar, but visually quite different. Lapras's curly ears are not present, and the underbelly coloration ends under the lower jaw instead of including it. There are also no visible appendages or tail, but that may be due to the water.

The original design for Combee featured three larvae, instead of honey bees, wedged inside a honeycomb. [[Ken Sugimori]] noted that while the concept sounded "gross", it is nonetheless a distinctive and attention-grabbing idea, so the team decided to keep the design and tweak it slightly. In particular, Combee's three faces were simplified, based on simple faces found in old comic books, to make its overall appearance friendlier.<ref name=USUM/> [[File:Spr 4d 415 m.png|left]]}}

This art of an unnamed female character (with {{p|Squirtle}}) was featured on the cover artwork for the official strategy guide for {{2v2|Red|Green|}}, as published by [[Shogakukan]]. Sugimori had stated that he wanted to portray a trio of Trainers facing against each other, hence created the female character for the cover.<ref name=SugimoriTwitter1/> When Red and Green were being developed for a {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remake|s}}, Sugimori took the unnamed female character into consideration as he was designing the female player character, who later became known as {{ga|Leaf}}.<ref name=SugimoriTwitter2/>

A character named Green later appeared in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], whose design appears to have taken inspiration from both the unnamed female character and the female player character of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

The unnamed female character also appeared [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX cover.png|several]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|times]] in manga-styled instructions illustrated by Emiko Yoshino included in Pokémon papercraft sets (bottom).

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, a similar artwork appeared at the end of {{PAV|3}} (right). The design of the character {{adv|Green}} seems to have drawn inspiration from this unknown female character.

This creature strongly resembles Tyranitar, being extremely similar to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan, rather than indigo belly, arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. However, at the time of the magazine's release, Tyranitar was not present in SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, and wouldn't appear in any revision for another two years. Thus, it is likely that this design, true to the interview in the magazine, was revisited and revised on its own merits.}}

|desc=Early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork was shown in an episode of NHK featuring the Capsule Monsters pitch booklet, revealing an unnamed male character running a shop, or what would possibly become an early version of the [[Poké Mart]]. The character is almost bald, has long eyebrows and appears to be overweight. He is presented in a similar art style to the sumo enemies from GAME FREAK's debut title, Quinty (localized as {{wp|Mendel Palace}}).

Revamped and enlarged versions of Mendel Palace's sumo sprites [https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Ruby#Unused_Overworld_sprite also appear] in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as unused overworld sprites.

This art of an unnamed female character (with {{p|Squirtle}}) was featured on the cover artwork for the official strategy guide for {{2v2|Red|Green|}}, as published by [[Shogakukan]]. Sugimori had stated that he wanted to portray a trio of Trainers facing against each other, hence created the female character for the cover.<ref name=SugimoriTwitter1/> When Red and Green were being developed for a {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remake|s}}, Sugimori took the unnamed female character into consideration as he was designing the female player character, who later became known as {{ga|Leaf}}.<ref name=SugimoriTwitter2/>

A character named Green later appeared in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], whose design appears to have taken inspiration from both the unnamed female character and the female player character of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

The unnamed female character also appeared [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX cover.png|several]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|times]] in manga-styled instructions illustrated by Emiko Yoshino included in Pokémon papercraft sets (bottom).

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, a similar artwork appeared at the end of {{PAV|3}} (right). The design of the character {{adv|Green}} seems to have drawn inspiration from this unknown female character. After the release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Green donned the same outfit as the female player character in the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen|fifth chapter}} of the manga.}}

ZLB22: /* Pokémon designs */

These are Pokémon and characters that were just a few of many different designs that [[Game Freak|GAME FREAK]] created. Only a few were added, and even those often went through redesigns before making it into the final product.

==Unreleased Pokémon==
===[[Capsule Monsters]] designs===

|type2=Unknown
|img=Capsule Monsters Godzillante Gorillaimo.jpg
|epnum=Capsule Monsters
|epname=Capsule Monsters
|desc=Nothing is known about ''Godzillante''. It is shown to be breathing fire. As its name implies, it may have been based on {{wp|Godzilla}}. Godzillante shares a resemblance to a [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/manga/pocket_monsters/pm_01/09_fake_pokemon.jpg fake Pokémon toy] shown in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|1}} (p. 107). Its placeholder number is #23 as shown in [https://helixchamber.com/media/capsule-monsters/capsulemonsters_03/capsule-monsters-battle-screens/ the storyboard] where it comes from.

Nothing is known about ''Gorillaimo''. Its hat could be a reference to the character {{wb|Ninten}} from the {{wb|Ape Inc.}} game, {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}. It also resembles the [[Nintendo]] character {{dk|Donkey Kong}}. Gorillaimo could also be based on King Kong. Later generations have introduced many ape-based Pokémon.}}

[[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Ken Sugimori]] revealed in an interview with @Gamer magazine that there was a rejected Pokémon design based on the first cloned sheep, {{wp|Dolly (sheep)|Dolly}}. They removed it after deeming it "too controversial" for Pokémon. Since Dolly was born almost eight months after the Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green, it is likely that this Pokémon would have been intended for [[Generation II]].

Additionally, it is possible that some aspects of Nekkoyagi's design, such as its apparent goat inspiration and root pelt, were reworked as {{p|Gogoat}}.}}

===''Bimonthly Game Rev''===
===''iew''===
Volume 14 of the ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, which was published on April 1997 by MicroDesign Publishing (Japanese: {{jwp|マイクロマガジン社|マイクロデザイン出版局}}), included an interview with [[Ken Sugimori]]. For this piece, Sugimori drew several original characters in the style of Pokémon, but not from the Pokémon world.<ref name=MicroDesignApr1997/>

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Unnamed creature
|type1=Unknown
|img=Magazine top.png
|epnum=Pokémon Gold and Silver beta
|epname=Pokémon Gold and Silver beta
|desc=This creature has an unusual appearance, sharing characteristics with both {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}; in the case of the latter, a horned tail and multiple paws around its midsection suggest a similar top motif. However, this creature has its point located on its bottom, while Hitmontop has its point located atop its head. It's notable that at the time of the SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Hitmontop had a drastically different design that would not be finalised for a significant period of time. This in addition to the magazine's context, means it is unlikely to be related to the {{p|Tyrogue}} family.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|desc={{main|Tyranitar (Pokémon)}}[[File:248Tyranitar.png|100px|right]] 
This creature strongly resembles Tyranitar, being extremely similar to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan, rather than indigo belly, arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. However, at the time of the magazine's release, Tyranitar was not present in SpaceWorld 1997 demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver, and wouldn't appear in any revision for another two years. Thus, it is likely that this design, true to the interview in the magazine, was revisited and revised on its own merits.}}

In this early depiction of a {{pkmn|battle}}, Blastoise is shown without its signature water cannons. This picture is captioned "Karabajio VS. Mimī", which are not the names of any known Pokémon. Karabajio may be a reference to the Italian painter {{wp|Caravaggio}}, which in turn may reference how the {{wp|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}} are named after Italian artists. It also may include "carapace".}}

The "arms" on Kakuna seen in its Red and Blue sprite are commonly mistaken to be a sprite error, as they are rarely shown in any other media. They have, so far, only been shown on its Red and Blue sprite and one of the [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]].

[[Ken Sugimori]] noted that while the concept sounded "gross", it is nonetheless a distinctive and attention-grabbing idea, so the team decided to keep the design and tweak it slightly. In particular, Combee's three faces were simplified, based on simple faces found in old comic books, to make its overall appearance friendlier.<ref name=USUM/> [[File:Spr 4d 415 m.png|left]]}}

'''Granbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グランブル''' ''Granbull'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Snubbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
Granbull is a purple, bipedal, {{wp|bulldog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a prominent lower jaw with two long, fang-like growths. Its upper jaw has two small fangs. The jaws are so heavy that the Pokémon has trouble keeping its head up. On the sides of its head are flat, curved ears, and its small nose is black. There is a black collar around its neck with two small white markings on it. Around its wrists are two black band markings, and it has a short tail.

A Granbull's main weapons are its well-developed lower jaw and heavy fangs. The bite from its jaws is said to be very powerful. However, due to how heavy its jaws are, Granbull keeps its head tilted down constantly for balance. Despite its fierce appearance, it is actually very timid and sensitive, even more so than {{p|Snubbull}}. Granbull rarely bites as it prefers not to get involved in disputes. Unless Granbull is startled, it will not bite indiscriminately. If attacked, it will flail about to fend off its attacker. Granbull is popular with young people due to how it acts and looks. It is considered too incompetent to be a guard dog due to its nature. Granbull wanders around {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

===Evolution===
Granbull evolves from {{p|Snubbull}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Granbull and its pre-evolved form [[List of categories by abundance|share]] their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
** The "Fairy Pokémon" category predates the introduction of the {{type|Fairy}} in [[Generation VI]]. From this generation onwards, the type and category of these four Pokémon share the same English name. However, this is not true in Japanese, where the type is フェアリータイプ ''Fairy-type'' and the category is ようせいポケモン ''Yōsei Pokémon''.
* As the [[Ability]] {{a|Quick Feet}} did not exist until [[Generation IV]], a Snubbull with either {{a|Intimidate}} or {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into a Granbull with Intimidate in [[Generation III]] games. This means that in Generation III, Granbull is the only Pokémon with an Ability that evolves from a Pokémon with one of two possible Abilities that shares to Granbull's Ability.

===Origin===
Granbull may be based on an {{wp|bulldog}}, breeds that can appear fierce but is actually gentle. Bulldogs are often depicted as being used as {{wp|guard dog}}s, which may explain Granbull's thick collar and wristband/shackle-like markings. Its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Egg Group]], {{t|Fairy|type}}, and appearance may reference the {{wp|Cù-sìth}}, a creature in {{wp|Celtic mythology}} whose name means ''dog fairy'' and various grotesque mythical creatures such as {{wp|goblin}}s and {{wp|orc}}s.

Due to its large size, it is possible that Granbull may be based on large bulldog breeds, like for example: {{wp|Serrano Bulldog}}, {{wp|Ca de Bou}} and the {{wp|Alano Español}}.

====Name origin====
Granbull may be a combination of ''grand'', ''grumble'', and ''bulldog'' or ''bully''.

'''Snubbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブルー''' ''Bull'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Granbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
Snubbull is a pink, bipedal, {{wp|bulldog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with blue polka dots covering its body. It has loose skin that drapes to cover the lower part of its body, giving it the appearance of a dress. There is a small, blue ruff around its neck. It has a pronounced underbite, but it still has powerful jaws. Additionally, it has two earflaps that are flat, curved, and tipped with black, and a small, shiny black nose. Its feet are beige with three toes and a circular pink paw pad, while its arms are short and stubby.

Snubbull, [[EP127|as seen in the anime]], possesses the ability to use their keen sense of smell to track things down. Snubbull tends to sleep half of the day. Snubbull has a cowardly and timid nature, despite its fierce-looking appearance. It is also very playful and affectionate, making it a popular companion among women. According to [[The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide]], Snubbull is very devoted and loyal. It is not aggressive and tends to prefer to scare away its opponent rather than fight. Snubbull are capable of bonding easily and are often spoiled. However, it is said to be saddened that others run from its frightening appearance. The growls it makes give an uneasy feeling to foes. On occasion, Snubbull gets bullied by other puppy Pokémon. Snubbull wanders around {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

===Evolution===
Snubbull evolves into {{p|Granbull}}.

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

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], Snubbull was a female-only species and a [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]]-type.
* The [[route]] that Snubbull swarms on in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} is also its [[National Pokédex]] number: {{rtn|209|Sinnoh}}.
* Snubbull and its evolved form [[List of categories by abundance|share]] their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
** The "Fairy Pokémon" category predates the introduction of the {{type|Fairy}} in [[Generation VI]]. From this generation onwards, the type and category of these four Pokémon share the same English name. However, this is not true in Japanese, where the type is フェアリータイプ ''Fairy-type'' and the category is ようせいポケモン ''Yōsei Pokémon''.
* Snubbull is the first Pokémon to evolve on-screen in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.
* In early merchandise for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', including the ''{{book|Pikachu's Vacation}}'' novelization, Snubbull's name is misspelled as '''Snubble'''.
** This also happens on the title card for ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]''.
* Snubbull is named "Buru" in the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards]].

===Origin===
Snubbull seems to be based on an {{wp|bulldog type|bulldog type dog}} due to its squat body, flat nose, droopy muzzle, and underbite. Its unusual pink fur and dress-like body may be inspired by pampered pet dogs whose owners dye their fur and dress them up in clothes. Its intimidating appearance is reminiscent of various grotesque mythical creatures such as {{wp|goblin}}s and {{wp|orc}}s, while its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Egg Group]] and {{t|Fairy|type}} may reference the {{wp|Cù-sìth}}, a creature in {{wp|Celtic mythology}} whose name means ''dog fairy''.

Although this Pokémon appears to be based on a bulldog type of dog, it is not present in the regional Pokédexes of [[Unova]], [[Galar]], or [[Paldea]], which are based on countries where bulldog breeds emerged. The only known exception is [[Kalos]] (based in {{wp|France}}, where the {{wp|French bulldog}} originated).

====Name origin====
Snubbull may be a combination of ''snub'' (short nose; to treat with disdain) and ''{{wp|bulldog}}'' or ''bully''. It may also involve ''snuggle''.

Bull may be derived from ''bulldog''.

'''Swirlix''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ペロッパフ''' ''Peropuff'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Slurpuff}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding a [[Whipped Dream]].

==Biology==
[[File:684Swirlix PSMD.png|thumb|left|200px|Swirlix with both of its feet visible and its mouth open revealing two fangs]]
Swirlix is a small, round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered with fluffy white fur. It has reddish-pink eyes with white pupils, round ears with light pink tips, a tiny reddish-pink nose, and is often seen with its tongue poking out of the corner of its mouth. When its mouth is open, two upper fangs can be seen. In between its ears is a more prominent tuft of fur. Poking out of the bottom of its fur is its light pink tail. Its feet are usually tucked up in its fur, but when they are visible, they are seen to be light pink and have three toes.

Swirlix only eats sweets, which makes its fur as sticky as cotton candy. Its fur is said to smell like cotton candy. It can entangle its opponents with white sticky thread. The amount of sugar it eats is equal to its weight. It is known to become grumpy if it doesn't eat enough sugar.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Swirlix and its evolved form, {{p|Slurpuff}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Sweet Veil}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Swirlix evolves into {{p|Slurpuff}}.

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

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Swirlix, a Fairy-type Pokémon, has a serious sweet tooth. However, all those sweets make its fur really sticky. If you trade a Swirlix while it holds Whipped Dream, it'll evolve into a Slurpuff. In Smash Bros., Swirlix likes to use Cotton Spore. Getting hit by this attack will seriously slow you down.''

'''PAL''': ''Swirlix has a serious sweet tooth - it eats so many sweets that even its fur is sticky and sweet. Not that you should try eating its fur. In this game, it'll use Cotton Spore to slow down all of the other fighters. See? Definitely not edible. Fun fact: if you trade Swirlix while it's holding a Whipped Dream, it'll evolve!''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Swirlix returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining the same behavior from the previous game.

==Trivia==
* Swirlix can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Spritzee}}. Both are [[Generation VI]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon that are version exclusives of [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], with Swirlix being exclusive to X and Sword, and Spritzee to Y and Shield. Both have former [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]] that affect themselves as well as their allies, and both evolve when traded holding a certain item.

===Origin===
Swirlix appears to be based on {{wp|cotton candy}}, previously known as fairy floss (a name still used in Australia), which may be the inspiration for its type. The way Swirlix entangles foes in its sticky threads may be a reference to European folktales in which eating fairy food traps mortals in the fairy realm. Considering its lolling tongue, nose, ear-like circular "bumps" on its head, and its tail, it may also be based on a {{wp|dog}}, more specifically a {{wp|Bichon Frise}} or {{wp|poodle}}. Its white body and pink, ear-like bumps may also reference folk beliefs that one can distinguish a fairy dog by its white fur and red ears. Because it can float, Swirlix's white puffy body also resembles a cloud.

====Name origin====
Swirlix may be a combination of ''swirl'' and ''licks''. It may also involve ''helix''.

Peropuff may be a combination of ペロペロ ''peropero'' (onomatopoeia for licking) and ''puff''.

'''Swirlix''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ペロッパフ''' ''Peropuff'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Slurpuff}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding a [[Whipped Dream]].

==Biology==
[[File:684Swirlix PSMD.png|thumb|left|200px|Swirlix with both of its feet visible and its mouth open revealing two fangs]]
Swirlix is a small, round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered with fluffy white fur. It has reddish-pink eyes with white pupils, round ears with light pink tips, a tiny reddish-pink nose, and is often seen with its tongue poking out of the corner of its mouth. When its mouth is open, two upper fangs can be seen. In between its ears is a more prominent tuft of fur. Poking out of the bottom of its fur is its light pink tail. Its feet are usually tucked up in its fur, but when they are visible, they are seen to be light pink and have three toes.

Swirlix only eats sweets, which makes its fur as sticky as cotton candy. Its fur is said to smell like cotton candy. It can entangle its opponents with white sticky thread. The amount of sugar it eats is equal to its weight. It is known to become grumpy if it doesn't eat enough sugar.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Swirlix and its evolved form, {{p|Slurpuff}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Sweet Veil}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Swirlix evolves into {{p|Slurpuff}}.

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

Swirlix also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Swirlix, a Fairy-type Pokémon, has a serious sweet tooth. However, all those sweets make its fur really sticky. If you trade a Swirlix while it holds Whipped Dream, it'll evolve into a Slurpuff. In Smash Bros., Swirlix likes to use Cotton Spore. Getting hit by this attack will seriously slow you down.''

'''PAL''': ''Swirlix has a serious sweet tooth - it eats so many sweets that even its fur is sticky and sweet. Not that you should try eating its fur. In this game, it'll use Cotton Spore to slow down all of the other fighters. See? Definitely not edible. Fun fact: if you trade Swirlix while it's holding a Whipped Dream, it'll evolve!''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Swirlix returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining the same behavior from the previous game.

==Trivia==
* Swirlix can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Spritzee}}. Both are [[Generation VI]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon that are version exclusives of [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], with Swirlix being exclusive to X and Sword, and Spritzee to Y and Shield. Both have former [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]] that affect themselves as well as their allies, and both evolve when traded holding a certain item.

===Origin===
Swirlix appears to be based on {{wp|cotton candy}}, previously known as fairy floss (a name still used in Australia), which may be the inspiration for its type. The way Swirlix entangles foes in its sticky threads may be a reference to European folktales in which eating fairy food traps mortals in the fairy realm. Considering its lolling tongue, nose, ear-like circular "bumps" on its head, and its tail, it may also be based on a {{wp|dog}}, more specifically a {{wp|Bichon Frise}} or {{wp|poodle}}. Its white body and pink, ear-like bumps may also reference folk beliefs that one can distinguish a fairy dog by its white fur and red ears. Because it can float, Swirlix's white puffy body also resembles a cloud.

====Name origin====
Swirlix may be a combination of ''swirl'' and ''licks''. It may also involve ''helix''.

Peropuff may be a combination of ペロペロ ''peropero'' (onomatopoeia for licking) and ''puff''.

'''Spewpa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コフーライ''' ''Kofly'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scatterbug}} starting at [[level]] 9 and evolves into {{p|Vivillon}} starting at level 12. Scatterbug and Spewpa each have [[#Form data|20 visually indistinct forms]] that determine the {{fd|Vivillon|form}} of Vivillon they evolve into.

==Biology==
Spewpa is small, cocoon-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} mostly hidden by sharp white fur with square particles of red, black, and pale yellow in and around the fur. Poking out of the top of its fur is its large, round head. The head is light gray in the back with a darker gray face. There is a beige dot over each eye and the face is bisected by a thin, black line that ends in a beige triangle at the top of the head. Its eyes are also beige with square, black pupils.

In order to defend itself from predators such as {{p|Rufflet}}, Spewpa will bristle its fur or spray a poisonous black powder. Spewpa is a nomadic Pokémon, travelling across fields and mountains while building up energy for it to evolve. However, it generally inhabits the shadows of thickets.

===Evolution===
Spewpa evolves from {{p|Scatterbug}} and evolves into {{p|Vivillon}}.

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

==In the anime==
[[File:Spewpa anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Spewpa in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Multiple Spewpa appeared in ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'', all of which had earlier evolved from Scatterbug, including one of them that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} helped out. One of the Spewpa later [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Vivillon while battling with [[Dolan]]'s {{p|Diggersby}}, and the rest evolved afterwards.

Six Spewpa appeared in ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'' in the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]]. Ash and {{AP|Greninja}} had to save them from freezing in a blizzard, and later ended up saving one of the Spewpa from falling off a cliff. This helped them to master the Ash-Greninja form. Afterwards, they all evolved into Meadow Pattern Vivillon. Two of them reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', and ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'' as Spewpa.

===Minor appearances===
Spewpa debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''.

Three Spewpa appeared in ''[[XY084|Adventures in Running Errands!]]'', all under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

A Trainer's Spewpa appeared in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
Two Spewpa were used by the [[Lumiose Press editor-in-chief]] in ''[[PS562|Pangoro Poses a Problem]]'', to stop {{adv|X}} from protecting [[Alexa]]. With their {{m|Rage Powder}}, the Spewpa prevented X's [[Marisso]] and [[Salamè]] from listening to X's commands. Eventually, both were defeated, but X's Pokémon were left exhausted afterward.

[[File:Spewpa SSB4.png|thumb|240px|Spewpa in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.]]]]
Spewpa appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon. It uses {{m|Stun Spore}} to temporarily stun any nearby opponents that attack it, but doesn't move otherwise.

[[File:Spewpa_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Spewpa trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Spewpa also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Spewpa, the Scatterdust Pokémon. This Bug-type Pokémon can harden its body to protect against attacks. If attacked in Smash Bros., it'll bristle up and paralyze its opponent with Stun Spore. However, it won't do anything if you don't attack it. Don't mess with it—it won't mess with you. ''

'''PAL''': ''Spewpa, the Scatterdust Pokémon. This Bug-type Pokémon can harden its body to protect against attacks. In this game, it might bristle up and paralyse you with Stun Spore. "How ever can I avoid such a terrible fate?", you ask? Just leave it alone. Don't mess with Spewpa, and Spewpa won't mess with you. ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Spewpa returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining the same behavior from the previous game.

===Form data===
{{p|Scatterbug}} and Spewpa each have 20 forms internally, one for each {{p|Vivillon}} pattern. This determines the {{fd|Vivillon|form}} of Vivillon they will eventually evolve into, and is determined when they are first generated; for {{pkmn|Egg}}s, this means the game in which the Egg was created, regardless of parents.

In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], its internal form depends on which geographic location the user specified on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] at the time the save file was created. Due to {{DL|Software region|Nintendo 3DS|region locking}}, a Nintendo 3DS system can only pick from a certain subset of geographic locations, depending on which region the system is from. For a comprehensive list, see [[List of Nintendo 3DS country and region settings]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, all [[Pokémon breeding|hatched]] Scatterbug will evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon, regardless of [[Gift#Postcards|Postcard]] effects. Scatterbug and Spewpa caught with a Postcard active will evolve into the pattern of Vivillon corresponding to the Postcard. If a Scatterbug or Spewpa came from another game like {{g|GO}}, it will retain the pattern it was assigned in its original game.

==Trivia==
* Spewpa and its evolutionary relatives are the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]].
* Spewpa and its evolutionary relatives are the only Generation VI Pokémon in the {{egg|Bug}} [[Egg Group]].
* Spewpa is [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|the only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 213.
* Spewpa can learn {{m|Iron Defense}} from a Move Tutor, but its evolution, {{p|Vivillon}}, cannot.

===Origin===
Spewpa is likely based on the larval forms of certain members of the {{wp|Tineidae}} family, such as the {{wp|carpet moth}} and {{wp|Tinea pellionella|case-bearing clothes moth}}, which construct snug cases of fibres and hairs that leave their heads exposed. The square powder on Spewpa's body might be based on {{wp|confetti}} or screen {{wp|pixel}}s.

Considering its evolutionary relatives, Spewpa may also represent a generic {{wp|pupa}} of a moth or butterfly, particularly {{wp|silkworm}} cocoons. The way it uses its hairs to protect itself from predation may be a reference to the {{wp|urticating hairs}} of some caterpillars that are incorporated into their cocoons for protection.

====Name origin====
Spewpa may be a combination of ''spew'' and ''{{wp|pupa}}''.

Kofly may be a combination of 小 ''ko'' (small) or 粉 ''ko'' (powder), 風来人 ''furaijin'' (wanderer), and ''fly''.

'''Vivillon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビビヨン''' ''Vivillon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Spewpa}} starting at [[level]] 12. It is the final form of {{p|Scatterbug}}.

There are a total of 20 known Vivillon [[#Form data|patterns]], one of which is {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive.

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}}, Vivillon's wing pattern depends on the real-world geographic location set on the game the Pokémon was generated in.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Spewpa will always evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon, except if the Spewpa was transferred from another game via {{g|HOME}}, or when the pattern Spewpa can evolve into has been changed by receiving a [[Gift#Postcards|Postcard]] from {{g|GO}}.

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

==Biology==
Vivillon is a butterfly-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with wings that come in a large variety of patterns. It has a round, grayish head with large, black, pixelated eyes and a pair of skinny antennae. The tips of the antennae each have an ovoid scale that is dark gray on the upper half and beige on the lower half. Vivillon's thorax is an ovoid and divided into three segments; each segment is a different shade of gray. Its legs are also ovoid and are dark gray on the lower half, beige on the upper half, and have a black band in the middle. It has two black, circular hands and no visible arms. While Vivillon's wings come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, they always have black edges and pixelated markings. It can spread its scales to poison its opponents during battle or, as [[XY012|shown]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, to calm an opponent's fighting spirit. It is highly capable of finding sources of water, such as springs.

Vivillon is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Powder}} by leveling up.

===Forms===
Vivillon has 20 separate forms; the pattern of Vivillon's wings is affected by the climate and topography of the environment it lives and is born in.

===Movie adaptations===
A Vivillon appeared in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' as a resident of [[Allearth Forest]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[Viola]] owns a Meadow Pattern Vivillon that she uses in her Gym. It first appeared in ''[[PS554|Kangaskhan...Kangascan't]]''.

In ''[[PS570|Dancing Vivillon]]'' and ''[[PS571|Burning Fletchinder]]'', fifteen {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s were hypnotized by [[Malva]] and used fifteen Vivillon, each with a different Pattern. The Vivillon Patterns which debuted were the Archipelago, Continental, Elegant, Garden, High Plains, Icy Snow, Jungle, Modern, Monsoon, Polar, River, Sandstorm, Savanna, Sun, and Tundra Patterns. The leader of these Sky Trainers, [[Yvette]], has mentioned that she has 18 of the Vivillon Patterns, including the Poké Ball and Fancy Patterns. After their defeat and no longer being hypnotized the Vivillon safely land the Sky Trainers down in ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]''. Yvette later uses a Marine Pattern Vivillon with her other Vivillon and in conjunction with Viola's Meadow Pattern Vivillon.

Vivillon has 20 separate forms; each having different patterns on its wings. {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}} have the pattern of Vivillon they will evolve into already set when the Pokémon is generated; for {{pkmn|Egg}}s, this means the game in which the Egg was created, regardless of parents. This form cannot be changed.

In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], its pattern depends on which geographic location the user specified on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] at the time the save file was created. This affects all Vivillon encountered within the game and can only be changed later by deleting the save file and creating a new one. Due to {{DL|Software region|Nintendo 3DS|region locking}}, a Nintendo 3DS system can only pick from a certain subset of geographic locations, depending on which region the system is from. For a comprehensive list, see [[List of Nintendo 3DS country and region settings]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, all wild Vivillon will have the Fancy Pattern by default (though other patterns are used by some [[Non-player character|NPCs]]). However, transferring a [[Gift#Postcards|Postcard]] from {{g|GO}} using the [[Mystery Gift]] feature in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} will change the pattern of all wild Vivillon, to match the location the Postcard came from. Wild Scatterbug and Spewpa caught after receiving the Postcard will also evolve into Vivillon matching the Postcard's pattern. Scatterbug and Spewpa caught prior to receiving the postcard will not evolve with the Postcard's pattern. After 24 hours, the wild Pokémon will revert back to Fancy Pattern unless another Postcard has been used. Changing the time and date of the [[Nintendo Switch]] system may end the effect prematurely. Only one Pokémon GO account may be linked per day, and an account cannot send more than one Postcard in a day. Furthermore, a Pokémon Scarlet and Violet save file may not receive the same Postcard more than once. All [[Pokémon breeding|hatched]] Scatterbug will evolve into the Fancy Pattern regardless of Postcard effects. Using the [[Union Circle]] feature, players are able to see and catch wild Vivillon from other players' games, allowing them to catch various patterns of Vivillon regardless of whether they own a matching Postcard. Additionally, if the Scatterbug or Spewpa came from another game like Pokémon GO, it will retain the pattern it was assigned in its original game.

18 of the patterns correspond to certain regions, while the other two do not. The regions corresponding to each pattern differ somewhat between the Nintendo 3DS and Pokémon GO.

==Trivia==

* Vivillon and its pre-evolved forms are the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]].
* Vivillon and its pre-evolved forms are the only Generation VI Pokémon in the {{egg|Bug}} [[Egg Group]].
* Vivillon's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 HP, 1 Special Attack, and 1 Speed is unique.
* Vivillon's [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]] has changed between generations:
** In Generation VI, Vivillon's Pokédex color is black.
** In [[Generation VII]], Vivillon's Pokédex color is white.
** In {{g|HOME}}, each of Vivillon's forms are listed under distinct color groupings based on the color of their wings.
*** Since the release of Pokémon HOME, Vivillon is listed under the most [[Pokédex]] [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] groupings, with a total of nine.
*** There currently exists a Vivillon form for every Pokédex color group, except black.
* Until [[Generation IX]], Vivillon could not learn {{m|Iron Defense}} directly, even though its pre-evolution, {{p|Spewpa}}, was able to learn this move from a Move Tutor.
* As of Generation IX, Vivillon has the most [[Pokédex]] entries for a single Pokémon, with 20 per game (one for each form).
** Prior to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Version history|Version 1.2.0]], only some of these 20 entries were accessible, as Spewpa could only evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, and only a few other entries could be gained from NPC encounters.

===Origin===
Considering the many different varieties of Vivillon that differ depending on the player's geographic location, Vivillon may have been based on ''{{wp|Papilio dardanus}}'', which is known for {{wp|Polymorphism (biology)|having over 14 known morphs}}, each of which mimics a different distasteful species of butterfly. Its block-like wing patterns may be based on {{wp|pixel art}}. Modern Pattern Vivillon in particular may be based on modern art, specifically the {{wp|De Stijl}} movement.

====Name origin====
Vivillon may be a combination of ''vivid'', ''papillon'' (French for butterfly), ''brillant'' (French for brilliant), and 美 ''bi'' (beauty).

'''Delphox''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マフォクシー''' ''Mafoxy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Braixen}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Fennekin}}.

==Biology==
Delphox is a bipedal, fox-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in a coat of long fur that resembles a robe. This "robe" is primarily dark red with red-orange, flame-like markings near its knees. There is also a thin tuft of white fur on its torso, which is flanked by yellow fur draping down from its shoulders. Its forearms feature long red fur resembling sleeves, and its hands and feet are dark gray with three clawed fingers and toes, respectively. A tail covered in yellow fur protrudes from its "robe". Its head is yellow with longer white fur on its cheeks. It has red eyes and a slender snout with a pinkish nose. Three tufts of red-orange fur protrude out of each ear. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw.

Delphox carries a stick that it uses like a magic wand. When in use, the tip is set alight, and when not in use, the stick is hidden away in its sleeve-like fur. Delphox gazes into the flame at the tip of its wand to achieve a focused state of mind that allows it to see into the future. It can use its psychic power to ensnare its enemies in a fiery vortex capable of reaching 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit (3,000 degrees Celsius). Delphox uses the stick to leave burn marks on the ground. In ancient times, people used the shapes of Delphox's burn marks for divination.

===Evolution===
Delphox evolves from {{p|Braixen}} and is the final form of {{p|Fennekin}}.

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

==In the anime==
[[File:Aria Delphox.png|thumb|left|250px|Delphox in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Aria's Delphox]]====
{{an|Aria}}'s Braixen was revealed to have evolved into a Delphox sometime before ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]''. She is her main Pokémon, and she helped her keep the title of {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} with her performance in the {{ci|Gloire}} {{pkmn|Showcase}} Master Class.

====[[Serena's Delphox]]====
Serena's Braixen was revealed to have evolved into a Delphox in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]''.

====Other====
Delphox debuted in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', under the ownership of [[Wylie]]. It was sent out to battle {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in order to settle a quarrel with {{OBP|Carrie|XY015}}, but the {{pkmn|battle}} ultimately ended in a draw.

A Delphox appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', under the ownership of [[Merilyn]]. It is her main Pokémon, used to assist her in her thievery.

[[Serena's Braixen]] appeared as Delphox in a dream in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Delphox appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when it evolved from Fennekin and Braixen.

==In the manga==
[[File:Whitley Delphox Adventures.png|thumb|180px|Delphox in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Movie adaptations===
[[Merilyn]] owns a Delphox in ''{{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction}}'', serving the same role as in the eponymous {{pkmn|movie}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Whitley's Delphox}}
After {{adv|Trevor}} lost the {{p|Fennekin}} he was given from [[Professor Sycamore]], she was taken by [[Malva]] after finding her Poké Ball put into box filled with other Pokémon gathered from [[Vaniville Town]]. After some time, she evolved into a {{p|Braixen}}. Prior to ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', she evolved into a Delphox. Following [[Team Flare]]'s defeat, {{adv|Trevor}} took Delphox under his care. She was later given to {{adv|Whitley}}. Due to the absence of a third [[Kalos]]-centered [[core series]] game, Delphox became the first fully-evolved first partner Pokémon to be owned by an antagonist in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

A Delphox appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PASS01|Wow!! That's One Big Pokémon]]''.

==Trivia==
* In English, the {{pkmn|category}} "Fox Pokémon" is shared by {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Nickit}}, and their evolutions.
** In Japanese, the hiragana category "きつねポケモン" (''Fox Pokémon'') is shared by the evolutionary lines of Vulpix and Nickit, while the katakana version "キツネポケモン" (''Fox Pokémon'') is shared by Fennekin and its evolutions.

===Origin===
Delphox's [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]] is based on a fox,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (Archived)]</ref> specifically resembling the {{wp|fennec fox}}. It also shares characteristics with {{wp|kitsune}} and {{wp|Asian witchcraft#Japan|kitsune-mochi}}, {{wp|Witchcraft|witches}} in Japanese folklore that inherit their powers from foxes. Additionally, the wand-like branch it utilizes for battles is likely a reference to {{wp|European witchcraft}} and robe-like fur and 'sleeves' derived from {{wp|Magic (supernatural)#Magicians|mages}}, while its prophetic abilities may be based on {{wp|oracles}}. Delphox and its pre-evolutions may also draw inspiration from the mage {{wp|character class}} in {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which uses various powerful magical spells to attack their opponents, while sacrificing brute physical strength.

Its witch-like characteristics and appearance, along with its {{t|Fire}} typing, are possible references to common {{wp|witch-hunt}}s that involved burning a victim for the accused practice of witchcraft.

====Name origin====
Delphox may be a combination of ''{{wp|Pythia|Delphic oracle}}'' and ''fox''.

Mafoxy may be a combination of 魔導師 ''madōshi'' (mage), 魔法 ''mahō'' (magic), ''fox'', and ''foxy''.

'''Braixen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テールナー''' ''Tailnar'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Fennekin}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Delphox}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Braixen is a bipedal, fox-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. While the majority of its fur is yellow, it has thick black fur on its legs, white arms and face, and a dark orange tail tip. The fur on its cheeks is longer, and a small mane of white fur covers its shoulders and chest. Long, wavy tufts of dark orange fur grow out of its large ears, and its eyes and small nose match this fur in color. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen in its upper jaw. Above its developed legs, the fur around its hips sweeps out to either side, resembling a skirt or shorts. Each paw has three small digits.

Braixen always keeps a stick in its tail, which it sets alight using friction from its bushy tail fur. The flame from the lit twig is used for both attack and communication. It draws circles in the air with the flame to indicate danger

===Evolution===
Braixen evolves from {{p|Fennekin}} and evolves into {{p|Delphox}}.

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

==Trivia==
* In English, the {{pkmn|category}} "Fox Pokémon" is shared by {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Nickit}}, and their evolutions.
** In Japanese, the hiragana category "きつねポケモン" (''Fox Pokémon'') is shared by the evolutionary lines of Vulpix and Nickit, while the katakana version "キツネポケモン" (''Fox Pokémon'') is shared by Fennekin and its evolutions.
* Braixen is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 409.

===Origin===
Braixen's [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]] is based on a fox,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (archived)]</ref> specifically resembling the {{wp|fennec fox}}. It also shares characteristics with {{wp|kitsune}} and {{wp|Asian witchcraft#Japan|kitsune-mochi}}, witches in Japanese folklore that inherit their powers from foxes. Braixen's use of a wand-like branch is likely derived from {{wp|Magic (supernatural)#Magicians|mages}}. When the stick is stored in the fur of its tail, the entire tail resembles a broom, which has been depicted as a witch's primary means of transport. As drawing the stick from its tail ignites the stick, this may be a reference to striking a {{wp|match|matchstick}}.

Its fur is reminiscent of {{wp|Japanese school uniform|seifuku}}, the predominant uniform worn by schoolgirls in Japan, and {{wp|1550–1600 in Western European fashion|aristocratic attire from western Europe during the Renaissance}}. Its lower body also resembles a {{wp|Hose (clothing)|hose}}.

====Name origin====
Braixen may be a combination of ''braise'' (French for hot charcoal) and ''vixen'' (female fox). It may also be an allusion to ''bruxa'' (Portuguese for witch) or ''brazen'' (meaning bold).

Tailnar may be a combination of テール ''tail'' and ルナール ''renard'' (French for fox).

'''Vespiquen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビークイン''' ''Beequeen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from a [[Gender|female]] {{P|Combee}} starting at [[level]] 21. Male Combee are not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
[[File:Vespiquen grubs Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Vespiquen's grubs]]
Vespiquen is a bee-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a typical insect-like, three-part body, i.e. divided into an abdomen, thorax, and head. It has a yellow- and black-striped abdomen, which flares out from a thin, waist-like protrusion under its thorax in a manner that resembles an elegant ballgown. Underneath the expansive abdomen are seven orange, honeycomb-like cells that serve as a nest for baby {{p|Combee}}; the centermost cell, however, surrounds what appears to be a slender, yellow, more insect-like abdomen, which is often obscured by the ‘gown’ part of its abdomen. Vespiquen has black arms that each consist of two thin, conical segments. Each arm ends in two small, orange claws. It flies with a pair of relatively small wings, each of which consists of two stacked, translucent teardrop segments. Vespiquen's arms and wings attach to its round thorax, which is yellow on the front, black on the back, and orange on each side where its arms attach. A curved line on its back, between its orange shoulders, separates its thorax and waist. Vespiquen's head consists of its face and horns. Its orange face has intimidating red eyes; yellow mandibles that protrude from its face and connect to its horns; and a large, red gem on its forehead. Vespiquen's horns are yellow near its face and black at the tips, and with the gem, they resemble historical headpieces or crowns worn by European royal and noble women in the Late Middle Ages, such as the {{wp|escoffion}}.

Similar to queen bees in real life, Vespiquen is a female-only species. Vespiquen is the sole queen of a hive of Combee, which it commands by releasing pheromones. The more pheromones Vespiquen produces, the more Combee it will have in its hive. As queen, Vespiquen gives birth to and raises Combee grubs, feeding on flowers to make [[honey]] for its progeny; it also controls and protects its hive. It is far more powerful than its Combee, and it will only take direct action if its Combee are unable to protect the hive; even so, the Combee will defend their Vespiquen even to the point of death. Vespiquen will destroy and feed on any outsiders it catches sneaking into its hive. However, if outsiders prove themselves to a Vespiquen by defending its hive, it may repay these acts of kindness with a reward.

Vespiquen is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}.

===Evolution===
Vespiquen evolve from female {{p|Combee}}.

===NPC appearances===
*{{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: A Vespiquen acts as the queen of [[Nectar Meadow]], though she feels the title is more akin to a manager instead. She calls for her {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Combee}} subordinates to desist against the player, the partner, and {{p|Budew}}. She then gives Budew some Honey to give to her sickly {{p|Roselia|mother}}, telling the baby Pokémon she doesn't need her [[Poké|payment]].

==Trivia==
* Vespiquen is tied with {{p|Togetic}} for the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** Among all Pokémon to be the slowest of their respective types, Vespiquen (and Togetic) are the fastest.
* Vespiquen can create [[Max Honey]] when [[Dynamax]]ed.
** However, unlike its pre-evolved form, {{p|Combee}}, it cannot produce [[Honey]] (i.e. it cannot be caught with Honey as a [[held item]]).
* Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Vespiquen had three [[signature move]]s: {{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}. Heal Order is not available to Vespiquen from Generation VIII onwards.
** Upon its introduction in [[Generation IV]], Vespiquen is tied with {{p|Porygon}} for the highest number of signature moves of any Pokémon.
** In [[Generation V]] & [[Generation VI]], Vespiquen has the highest number of signature moves of any Pokémon.
** In [[Generation VII]] (in [[Alola]]), Vespiquen is tied with [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Marowak}} for the highest number of signature moves of any non-[[Legendary Pokémon]]. It is also tied with Alolan Marowak & {{p|Necrozma}} for the second-highest number of signature moves overall, behind only {{p|Zygarde}} and Necrozma (in its Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms).

===Origin===
Vespiquen appears to be based on a combination of {{wp|queen bee}}s, {{wp|beehive}}s, and real-world {{wp|Queen regnant|queens}}. The red {{wp|gem}} on its forehead may serve as {{wp|jewelry}} emphasizing its royal status.

====Name origin====
Vespiquen may be a combination of ''vespa'' (Latin for wasp) and ''queen''.

Beequeen is literally ''bee'' ''queen''.

'''Floatzel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フローゼル''' ''Floatzel'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Buizel}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Floatzel is an orange {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an anthropomorphic otter or weasel with longer arms than legs. It has four fingers on each hand and three toes on each foot. Its feet are small in comparison to the rest of the body. It has two pointed blue fins on its arms; two aligned, backward-swept, pointed fins on its head; and two tails, which can spin like a propeller in a similar way to its pre-evolution's. It has cream colorations on its forehead, eyelids, muzzle, belly, and the tips of its forelimbs and tails. It also has one cream, slightly protruding, oval-shaped spot on its back if it is female, and two of these spots if it is male. There is an orange teardrop shape near the bottom of its belly, and a pattern of two black triangles on the edges of its muzzle. It has small, sharp canine teeth, the top two of which can be seen when its mouth is closed.

Floatzel has a yellow flotation sac, which seems to behave similar to rubber. The flotation sac goes in a kind of ring behind its head, down in front of its arms, then back behind its rear above the tails. Floatzel's sac developed as a result of chasing prey in the water. To help it dive, Floatzel can deflate its flotation sac, and then inflate it once again when it wishes to surface. Floatzel's sac allows it to not drown, even in stormy seas. Along with hunting for food, Floatzel can use its swimming capabilities to assist in the rescues of drowning people, by carrying them like a raft. It is often seen near fishing hamlets.

===Evolution===
Floatzel evolves from {{p|Buizel}}.

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

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Captain Floatzel.png|thumb|left|250px|Floatzel in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
Floatzel debuted in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', where [[Kellyn]] used his [[Capture Styler]] on it so he could use it to escape from a group of {{p|Sharpedo}} that belonged to [[J's henchmen]].

In ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', [[Crasher Wake]] used a male Floatzel during his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. After battling hard against {{AP|Pikachu}}, Floatzel then went up against {{AP|Buizel}}, whom he lost to after a close-range {{m|Water Pulse}}. He knows many different defensive techniques to guard himself against attacks, such as inflating the flotation sac around his body and blocking with his fin. He reappeared briefly in flashbacks in ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth]]'' and ''[[DP180|League Unleashed!]]''; and during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', where he was seen alongside his Trainer.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', {{si|Kenny}} used a male Floatzel in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] along with {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}. Their [[Double Performance]] was going well until Empoleon's {{m|Flash Cannon}} sent Floatzel flying backwards. In ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', he and Kenny were given advice by [[Jasmine]] before being targeted by {{TRT}}.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]'', the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] lent a Floatzel to [[Conway]] for use in the second leg of the [[Pokémon Triathlon]].

In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Floatzel competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Two Floatzel appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

In ''[[PS364|A Skuffle with Skorupi]]'', [[Crasher Wake]] is seen with a Floatzel, which he used to battle [[Platinum's Empoleon]], but after a close battle, lost. A few volumes later, under Wake's command, {{adv|Pearl}} attempted to catch one himself, but failed to do so and resorted to catching the weaker {{p|Buizel}}.

Multiple Floatzel appeared in ''[[PS401|Besting Buizel I]]''.

Two Floatzel appeared in a flashback in ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]''.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Floatzel may be based on an {{wp|otter}} or {{wp|weasel}} combined with various flotation devices such as {{wp|inflatable armbands}}, a {{wp|life jacket}}, and a {{wp|Lifeboat (shipboard)#Liferaft versus lifeboat|life raft}}. Floatzel's two tails can rotate like a screw similarly how boats use {{wp|propeller}}s to move by pushing water.

====Name origin====
Floatzel may be combinations of ''float'' and ''{{wp|weasel}}''.

'''Buizel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブイゼル''' ''Buoysel'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Floatzel}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
[[File:Flying Buizel.png|thumb|left|250px|Buizel flying using its tail in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'']]
Buizel is an orange {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a weasel and a sea otter. It has a yellow collar around its neck and two blue fins on its arms. Buizel has a cream-colored spot above each eye and two black parallel marks on its cheeks. The underside of its face and stomach are also cream-colored, as are the tips of its two tails. A male Buizel has two cream-colored spots on their back, while a female has only one.

Buizel's yellow collar is a flotation sac that can be inflated when it inhales. By doing so, Buizel can keep its face above water to watch for prey movement or survey its surroundings. Conversely, it deflates this sac in order to dive. Its tails can spin to act as a propeller, allowing it to swim and slice through obstacles like seaweed. In [[DP011|the anime]], it is also able to fly using its spinning tail. Buizel usually lives alongside bodies of water.

===Evolution===
Buizel evolves into {{p|Floatzel}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Buizel was one of three Pokémon revealed in March 2006 in promotions for ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', along with {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Chatot}}.
* Every Buizel that has been shown in the anime so far is male.

===Origin===
Buizel seems to be based on a {{wp|weasel}}, as well as a {{wp|Otter|river otter}}. Its design also appears to incorporate various {{wp|flotation devices}}, such as {{wp|swim ring}}s and {{wp|inflatable armbands}}. Buizel's two tails can rotate like a screw similarly how boats use {{wp|propeller}}s to move by pushing water.

====Name origin====
Buizel may be combinations of ''{{wp|buoy}}'' and ''{{wp|weasel}}''.

'''Togepi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トゲピー''' ''Togepi'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Togetic}} when [[friendship evolution|leveled up with high friendship]], which evolves into {{p|Togekiss}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]].

==Biology==
Togepi is a small, light-yellow {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a rounded, egg-shaped body. After hatching from its {{pkmn|Egg}}, Togepi's body remains encased in its eggshell. That shell has a white base color, and rounded, mostly unfilled shapes (with thick borders that are either red or blue) dot the shell on all sides. Sticking out of its shell, Togepi has stubby, rounded cone arms and round feet with two toes each. Togepi has thin, black, oval eyes with thin, black arcs on their outer sides. Its head has five round-tipped, conical spikes that seem to form a crown. It also has semi-oval, brown pads on the soles of its feet.

[[EP054|The anime]] has shown that it can retract into its shell, which it usually does to sleep. It is able to siphon the positive energy of others, storing that happiness in its shell, and then release it to those in need of it. Togepi is able to release poison from the spikes on its head. It has a very joyful nature. As a result, it is said that it shares its joy with those who take care of it. Because of its disposition, Togepi is seen as a sign of good luck, especially if a Trainer is capable of getting a sleeping Togepi to stand. Togepi's innocent smile is said to calm the soul. It is also shown in [[DP142|the anime]] that Togepi can act very maliciously at times, causing havoc and bad luck to its enemies. Although it is rare in the wild, Togepi can most commonly be found living within the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.

===Evolution===
Togepi evolves into {{p|Togetic}}, which evolves into {{p|Togekiss}}.

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

===Major appearances===
====[[Misty's Togepi]]====
{{an|Misty}}'s Togepi was the first Togepi (and one of the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon) seen in the anime. {{Ash}} found its [[Pokémon Egg]] at the end of ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. Togepi hatched four episodes later, in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and upon hatching, it imprinted on {{an|Misty}}. Togepi stayed by Misty's side from then until ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', when it evolved into {{p|Togetic}} and decided to stay in the [[Mirage Kingdom]] to guard other Togepi in the [[Togepi Paradise]].

====Other====
In ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', multiple Togepi were living in the [[Togepi Paradise]]. [[Princess Sara]] caught one of them when it stayed behind while the others returned to their home.

In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', an unusually bratty female Togepi used her cuteness to manipulate people so she could cause mischief.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Togepi was following [[Harriet]] around.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'', a Togepi watched {{an|Meloetta}}'s concert.

In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', a Togepi playfully chased a {{p|Chikorita}}.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Togepi appeared in ''[[JN004|Settling the Scorbunny!]]''.

Togebo's Egg first appeared in ''[[PS095|Stantler By Me]]'', but Togebo wouldn't officially appear until ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]''. Due to his abilities as a hatcher, Togebo was born with Gold's trouble-making habits, much to Professor Elm's displeasure. Despite this, Gold wasn't able to truly connect with Togebo until the climax of the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where he evolves into a Togetic and then a Togekiss via a [[Shiny Stone]].

====Melee trophy information====
''These adorable Spike Ball Pokémon hatch from eggs given out by [[Professor Elm]]'s assistant. Common superstition holds that their shells are chock-full of happiness and that they become good-luck charms when handled with kindness. It's impossible to predict which ability a Togepi will call upon when it uses its {{m|Metronome}} move, so you'd better be ready!''
{{-}}
====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Spike Ball Pokémon. It's said that its shell is filled with joy, and a proverb asserts that if you can get a sleeping Togepi to stand up, you will gain happiness. Togepi can lower its opponent's attack power using {{m|Charm}}. Once it has become friends with its Trainer, Togepi evolves into Togetic."''
{{-}}

[[File:Togepi_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Togepi trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Togepi also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''This Fairy-type Pokémon grows by feeding off the happiness, fun, and kindness of others. It's always filled with joy! In Smash Bros., Togepi uses the unpredictable Metronome move on foes. This move can cause drowsiness, damaging-flower growth, or stage darkness.''

'''PAL:''' ''A Fairy-type Pokémon that's always sunny side up! It can siphon positive energy from people and spread it across the world. Its Metronome attack can have a wide variety of effects. Maybe it'll plunge the stage into darkness. Maybe it'll plant damage-dealing seeds on fighters' heads. Whatever it does, Togepi will leave fighters scrambling.''

==Trivia==
[[File:Togepi Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Togepi in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Togepi is the second [[Generation II]] Pokémon (after {{p|Ho-Oh}}) to appear in the [[Kanto]] saga of the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is also the first future generation Pokémon with a known name at the time of its appearance to appear in the anime.
* Togepi was the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in a Pokémon video game. It made an appearance in [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on 12 December 1998, almost a full year before the first Generation II games, [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]], were released, on 21 November 1999.
** The [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] trophies incorrectly state that Togepi's first appearance was in {{g|Gold and Silver}}.
* While [[baby Pokémon]] are often revealed before the [[generation]] they debut in, Togepi is so far the only such Pokémon to be revealed before its evolved form.
* On the DVD scene selection screen from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Togepi is listed as Pokémon #152.
* All of Togepi's anime [[Pokédex]] entries during [[S01|season 1]] refer to it as an "Egg Pokemon". This is due to its real category, "Spike Ball Pokémon", not being known at the time.
* The Togepi that hatched from the {{pkmn|Egg}} from [[Mr. Pokémon]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} knows {{m|Extrasensory}}, a move normally only available as an [[Egg Move]]. As a consequence, the father could only be a {{p|Hoothoot}}, a {{p|Noctowl}}, a {{p|Togetic}}, or a {{p|Togekiss}} that knew {{m|Extrasensory}}.
* In [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], when Togepi is attacking, it makes a different cry to its usual one.
** When it faints, however, the normal fainting cry it makes in the other games is heard.
* Togepi is tied with {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azurill}} for having the lowest base Attack of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Togepi holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least amount of time to evolve twice, taking only [[PS459|one chapter]]. It shares this with [[Kitty|Caterpie]] and [[Polibo|Poliwag]].
* Togepi appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. To use it, one must have their {{pkmn|Egg}} damaged three times, then Togepi hatches and behaves like a king piece in chess. When the player loses their Togepi, they lose.
* Togepi and {{p|Absol}} are the only non-{{type|Flying}} Pokémon that can have {{a|Super Luck}} as their Ability.
* Togepi, {{p|Cleffa}}, and {{p|Igglybuff}} are the only [[baby Pokémon]] to have a {{tcg|TAG TEAM}} {{tcg|Pokémon-GX|GX}} card.

===Origin===
Togepi appears to be based on the concept of a baby hatchling of any of a number of species of animals. It could also possibly be based on an egg, with its evolved forms based loosely on {{wp|bird}}s.

Due to its tendency to bring luck (either good or bad), Togepi is possibly based on the {{wp|dokkaebi}}, a Korean mythological goblin that brings bad luck and good luck to anyone. This might explain why Togepi can have Super Luck as its [[Hidden Ability]].

====Name origin====
Togepi may be a combination of 刺 ''toge'' (spike) and ピヨピヨ ''piyopiyo'' (onomatopoeia for a bird chirping).

'''Aerodactyl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プテラ''' ''Ptera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is resurrected from an [[Old Amber]], and while it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Aerodactyl can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Aerodactyl''' using the [[Aerodactylite]].

==Biology==
Aerodactyl is a {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, bipedal prehistoric {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|pterosaur}} with several draconic features. It has small sharply pointed ears, narrow dark green eyes, a ridged snout, a gaping mouth, and a strong lower jaw full of serrated fangs. Its body is covered in light blue-gray skin and it has large, violet membranous wings. The clawed hands at the end of each wing allow it to grasp objects. There is a hump-like ridge with a spike on its back, and it has a strong tail with an arrow-shaped tip. Its talon-like feet have two toes in front and one in the back, and are capable of scooping up and tightly clutching its prey in flight.

Aerodactyl's serrated saw-like fangs and ferocious attitude were very imposing in its time. Its fangs can rip out throats and tear through the skin of any Pokémon to pieces, even {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. By spreading its wings, Aerodactyl is believed to have flown by gliding through the skies, freely letting out its high-pitched cries. However, it is slow to walk on land. It liked to nest in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountains}}, where it enjoyed both safety and seclusion. Aerodactyl lived in prehistoric times, and was theorized to become extinct thanks to a giant meteor impact. It was restored in modern times using genetic material extracted from amber; some casualties occurred during these attempts. Even still, this restoration is not considered perfect.

===Forms===
Aerodactyl can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Aerodactyl.

As Mega Aerodactyl, its eyes turn bright green and parts of its body turn to stone, which some researchers believe to be its original appearance before fossilization. It grows larger and sprouts jagged black spiky rocks all over its body: five spikes at the wrist joint of each wing replacing its hands, three small spikes along its tail, one spike on each ear, and a long spike on its chin. The spike on its back and its rear talons have also become black and stony. Rocky plates cover its eyebrows and the corners of its jaw. Similar stone ornaments are present on its chest on its torso: two small ridges flanking a longer ridge.

The power of [[Mega Evolution]] allows some of Aerodactyl's dormant genes to reawaken. The rocks on Mega Aerodactyl's body are harder than diamond. Because of the burden of Mega Evolution, Mega Aerodactyl is fiercer and more irritable than before. As a result, Mega Aerodactyl attacks anything that moves.

In ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', Team Rocket accidentally revived an Aerodactyl from its fossil. Angered and confused, it terrorized [[Oreburgh City]]. It was eventually stopped by [[Dawn's Piplup]] and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} before [[Dr. Kenzo]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Aerodactyl was revived using a Wing Fossil, which formed a trio with the [[Helix Fossil]] and [[Dome Fossil]].
* Aerodactyl shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Arctovish}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Dracozolt}}. They are all known as the Fossil Pokémon.
* Aerodactyl was [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Aerodactylus}}'', a genus of {{wp|pterosaur}}s. The genus name was chosen in reference to Aerodactyl having traits derived from various pterosaur species.<ref>Vidovic, S. U. & Martill, D. M. (2014). "[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4206445/ ''Pterodactylus scolopaciceps'' Meyer, 1860 (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea) from the Upper Jurassic of Bavaria, Germany: The Problem of Cryptic Pterosaur Taxa in Early Ontogeny]". PLOS ONE. 9 (10): e110646.</ref>
* Aerodactyl is the only Fossil Pokémon with a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form.
** Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was also the only Fossil Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding, reviving its Fossil, or from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}: it is available through an [[in-game trade]] in [[Generation II]], as a gift in [[Generation VII]], and is one of [[Hayley's trades]].
*** The trade in Generation II was removed in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, likely because the [[Old Amber]] could be obtained and revived in these games, unlike in Generation II.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Aerodactyl was originally known as "Ptera", its Japanese name.
* Aerodactyl is the only Pokémon owned by [[Lance]] and [[Clair]] in the [[core series]] who is not a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon nor a Pokémon belonging to the {{egg|Dragon}} Egg group.
** This is likely due to pterosaurs being known as "winged dragons" (翼竜 ''yokuryū'') in Japanese, further explaining why it is called a "dragon" by an old man in [[Pewter Museum of Science]] in [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, as well as suggesting why its appearance is influenced by that of {{wp|wyvern}}s.
* Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* Aerodactyl is one of four non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon available in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. The others are {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}.
* Mega Aerodactyl has a unique base stat total of 615.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[Generation I]] Rock-type Pokémon to not possess a 4× weakness to {{type|Grass}} moves.
* Aerodactyl is the first Fossil Pokémon to have its {{pkmn|Egg}} shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* In the ''[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]'', Aerodactyl would be stated to be the predecessor of birds. This, alongside many facts in the book, would be retconned by future content in the games, specifically the introduction of [[Archeops]].

===Origin===
Aerodactyl's design is mostly based on {{wp|Rhamphorhynchidae|rhamphorhynchids}}, a family of toothed {{wp|pterosaur}}s that lived in the {{wp|Jurassic}} period. However, its pointed wings, spaded tail, and robust jaws also give it the resemblance of a {{wp|dragon}}, specifically {{wp|wyvern}}s.

The rocks that appear on Mega Aerodactyl's body is a reference to {{wp|atavism}} whereby an ancestral genetic trait reappears after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations. The rock on Mega Aerodactyl's chin is similar to {{wp|goatee}}.

====Name origin====
Aerodactyl may be a combination of ἀέρος ''aéros'' ({{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''air'') and ''{{wp|pterodactyl}}''.

Ptera may be derived from ''{{wp|pterosaur}}'' or ''{{wp|Pteranodon}}''.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nidorino}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Nidoran♂}}.

It is related to the {{p|Nidoran♀}} line, serving as {{p|Nidoqueen}}'s male counterpart. Starting in [[Generation V]], it can produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s that contain either Nidoran♂ or Nidoran♀ when [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] with {{p|Ditto}}.

==Biology==
Nidoking is a large, bipedal, purple {{wp|mammalian}} Pokémon with distinct {{wp|reptilian}} features. It has narrow eyes, large, spiny ears, fur-like tufts on its cheeks, and a short snout filled with pointed teeth. There is a long, venomous horn on its forehead and a ridge of spines down its back. Gray plates cover its chest and belly, and there is a gray, rounded spine on each elbow. Each hand has three claws, while each foot has only a single hoof-like nail. It has a long, powerful tail. Nidoking is a male-only species.

It is said that Nidoking's tail is capable of toppling a metal transmission tower. Nidoking uses this tail to smash, constrict, or break the bones of its prey and enemies. The tail can also be swung to create distance between it and its foes before Nidoking charges. Its steel-like hide adds to its powerful, rampaging charges. Nidoking's horn is powerful enough to crush diamonds. Nidoking is known to be very proud of its own strength. When Nidoking goes on a rampage, it becomes impossible to control. Only a {{p|Nidoqueen}} that it has lived with for a long time can calm it down from its rampages. As shown in [[PS021|the manga]], Nidoking has strong acid within its claws. Being the result of evolution via an [[Evolution stone]], Nidoking is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}.

===Evolution===
Nidoking evolves from {{p|Nidorino}} and is the final form of {{p|Nidoran♂}}.

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

==Trivia==

* Although its female counterpart Nidoqueen cannot be bred, Nidoking can.
* Nidoking is a popular choice with {{pkmn|anime}} [[rival]]s, as two of {{Ash}}'s main rivals ({{Gary}} and [[Paul]]) have one, as well as {{jo|Jimmy}}'s {{DL|Silver (game)|Counterparts|main rival}}.
* Nidoking was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], and is one of the first Pokémon ever created.<ref name=Shmuplations>(2001). ゲーム・マエストロ〈VOL.4〉デザイナー/イラストレーター編 ([https://shmuplations.com/pokemon/ English translation by Shmuplations])</ref>

===Origin===
Nidoking was created with a {{wp|Kaiju}} monster motif and strongly resembles the Kaiju [[wp:Baragon|Baragon]].<ref name=Shmuplations/> Physically, it appears to share traits of {{wp|rhinoceros}}es, {{wp|gorilla}}s, {{wp|rabbit}}s, and {{wp|porcupine}}s.

====Name origin====
Nidoking may be a combination of ''needle'' and ''{{wp|king}}''. It may also involve 二度 ''nido'' (twice). It may be derived from ''nidor'', an unpleasant odor.

'''Clefairy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピッピ''' ''Pippi'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cleffa}} when [[friendship evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Clefable}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:Clefairy floating.png|thumb|200px|left|Clefairy floating]]
Clefairy is a bipedal, pink {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a chubby, vaguely star-shaped body. A small, pointed tooth protrudes from the upper left corner of its mouth. It has wrinkles beside its black, oval eyes, a single dark pink oval marking on each cheek, and large, pointed ears with brown tips. A tuft of fur curls over its forehead, much like its large, upward-curling tail. Each stocky arm has two small claws and a thumb on each hand and both feet have a single toenail. There is a pair of tiny, butterfly-shaped wings on its back. Though incapable of flight, Clefairy's wings can store moonlight and allow it to float.

Clefairy is very shy and rarely shows itself to humans. On the rare occasions that Clefairy comes down from its {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountain home}}, it can be seen dancing underneath the full moon's light. The area surrounding their dance is enveloped in a magnetic field. Once the sun starts to rise, it returns home where it sleeps nestled with other Clefairy. There have been many sightings of Clefairy during the morning aftermath of the full moon. [[EP062|The anime]] has shown that Clefairy is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]]. Clefairy is known to be popular thanks to both its adorable look and behavior. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], anyone who sees a Clefairy using {{m|Metronome}} while sleeping will receive happiness. this sighting is considered to be a very unusual sight to witness.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>

Before [[Generation V]], Clefairy and its evolutionary relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Magic Guard}} as an [[Ability]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Clefairy leader.png|thumb|200px|The recurring Clefairy in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====Clefairy (recurring)=====
A peculiar group of Clefairy debuted in ''[[EP062|Clefairy Tales]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first encountered them after their spacecraft crash-landed near [[Viridian City]]. The Clefairy resorted to stealing items, including {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s signature microphone marker and even {{AP|Pikachu}}, from a nearby town to rebuild their spaceship.

The group, accompanied by [[Oswald]] and Jigglypuff, tracked the Clefairy to an underground cave and stormed the spaceship to recover Jigglypuff's microphone and Pikachu. Though Jigglypuff ended up defeating all of the Clefairy with {{m|Pound}}, the spacecraft still took off because of its preset launch, though Ash, his friends, and Jigglypuff escaped in time. Oswald remained on board until the spaceship crashed again in another village. As a result, the Clefairy once again began stealing the locals' items to return to orbit.

The Clefairy reappeared in ''[[EP246|Wish Upon a Star Shape]]'', where the group re-encountered them after their spacecraft crashed into a [[Johto]] mountainside. Prior to the crash-landing, the Clefairy beamed a {{p|Cleffa}} to safety, and it landed on [[Ash's Phanpy]]. Cleffa quickly struck up a friendship with Phanpy. It later led everyone to the crash site while also trying to escape {{TRT}} and the [[Pokémon Mystery Club]] (PMC).

The Clefairy went on to use the parts from [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]] and the PMC's machine to repair their spacecraft. Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} ultimately helped the craft lift off. In the process, Cleffa [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Clefairy and reunited with its family.

Its known moves are {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Double Slap}}, and {{m|Pound}}.

However, the Fairy Pokémon had to be recalled when its {{m|Metronome}} failed against {{AP|Cyndaquil}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Clefairy was the only Pokémon that evolved with a Moon Stone.
* The [[Pokémon Red and Blue Beta|prototype English name]] for Clefairy was ''Aria''. In the {{pmin|Russia}}n [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}, it was actually called that in the [[original series]].
** The {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub of the episode ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' calls Clefairy by its proper species name and "Aria" interchangeably.
* Clefairy and its evolved form [[List of categories by abundance|share]] their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Granbull}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
** The "Fairy Pokémon" category predates the introduction of the {{type|Fairy}} in [[Generation VI]]. From this generation onwards, the type and category of these four Pokémon share the same English name. However, this is not true in Japanese, where the type is フェアリータイプ ''Fairy-type'' and the category is ようせいポケモン ''Yōsei Pokémon''.
* The [[Poké Doll]] is a Clefairy doll, as identified by the Japanese name of this item (ピッピにんぎょう ''{{tt|Pippi|Clefairy}} Doll'').
* Clefairy was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], and is one of [[Kōji Nishino]]'s favorite Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref>

===Origin===
Clefairy seems to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|pixie}}s since it is a playful, magical, humanoid creature with wings. It may also be inspired by the concept of {{wp|extraterrestrial life}} due to its rumored celestial origins and vaguely {{wp|star}}-shaped body. It may also reference the mythical {{wp|Moon rabbit}} due to its large ears, various Moon related powers, and the fact that it evolves into Clefable using a [[Moon Stone]].

====Name origin====
Clefairy may be a combination of ''{{wp|clef}}'' (musical symbol) and ''{{wp|fairy}}''.

Pippi may be derived from the repetition of the first syllable of ''{{wp|pixie}}''.

'''Clefairy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピッピ''' ''Pippi'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cleffa}} when [[friendship evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Clefable}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:Clefairy floating.png|thumb|200px|left|Clefairy floating]]
Clefairy is a bipedal, pink {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a chubby, vaguely star-shaped body. A small, pointed tooth protrudes from the upper left corner of its mouth. It has wrinkles beside its black, oval eyes, a single dark pink oval marking on each cheek, and large, pointed ears with brown tips. A tuft of fur curls over its forehead, much like its large, upward-curling tail. Each stocky arm has two small claws and a thumb on each hand and both feet have a single toenail. There is a pair of tiny, butterfly-shaped wings on its back. Though incapable of flight, Clefairy's wings can store moonlight and allow it to float.

Clefairy is very shy and rarely shows itself to humans. On the rare occasions that Clefairy comes down from its {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountain home}}, it can be seen dancing underneath the full moon's light. The area surrounding their dance is enveloped in a magnetic field. Once the sun starts to rise, it returns home where it sleeps nestled with other Clefairy. There have been many sightings of Clefairy during the morning aftermath of the full moon. [[EP062|The anime]] has shown that Clefairy is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]]. Clefairy is known to be popular thanks to both its adorable look and behavior. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], anyone who sees a Clefairy using {{m|Metronome}} while sleeping will receive happiness. this sighting is considered to be a very unusual sight to witness.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>

Before [[Generation V]], Clefairy and its evolutionary relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Magic Guard}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Clefairy evolves from {{p|Cleffa}} and evolves into {{p|Clefable}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Clefairy leader.png|thumb|200px|The recurring Clefairy in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====Clefairy (recurring)=====
A peculiar group of Clefairy debuted in ''[[EP062|Clefairy Tales]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first encountered them after their spacecraft crash-landed near [[Viridian City]]. The Clefairy resorted to stealing items, including {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s signature microphone marker and even {{AP|Pikachu}}, from a nearby town to rebuild their spaceship.

The group, accompanied by [[Oswald]] and Jigglypuff, tracked the Clefairy to an underground cave and stormed the spaceship to recover Jigglypuff's microphone and Pikachu. Though Jigglypuff ended up defeating all of the Clefairy with {{m|Pound}}, the spacecraft still took off because of its preset launch, though Ash, his friends, and Jigglypuff escaped in time. Oswald remained on board until the spaceship crashed again in another village. As a result, the Clefairy once again began stealing the locals' items to return to orbit.

The Clefairy reappeared in ''[[EP246|Wish Upon a Star Shape]]'', where the group re-encountered them after their spacecraft crashed into a [[Johto]] mountainside. Prior to the crash-landing, the Clefairy beamed a {{p|Cleffa}} to safety, and it landed on [[Ash's Phanpy]]. Cleffa quickly struck up a friendship with Phanpy. It later led everyone to the crash site while also trying to escape {{TRT}} and the [[Pokémon Mystery Club]] (PMC).

The Clefairy went on to use the parts from [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]] and the PMC's machine to repair their spacecraft. Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} ultimately helped the craft lift off. In the process, Cleffa [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Clefairy and reunited with its family.

Its known moves are {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Double Slap}}, and {{m|Pound}}.

=====[[Lusamine's Clefairy]]=====
[[File:Lusamine Clefairy.png|thumb|250px|Clefairy in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

She reappeared during flashbacks in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', where she was seen playing with {{an|Lillie}}. She reappeared again in another flashback in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''.

=====Other=====
Multiple Clefairy debuted in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', where some of them evolved into Clefable after touching the [[Moon Stone]].

A Clefairy appeared in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', under the ownership of [[Whitney]]. Commonly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of its Poké Ball]], it was used to send {{TRT}} flying, and later in Whitney's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. However, the Fairy Pokémon had to be recalled when its {{m|Metronome}} failed against {{AP|Cyndaquil}}.

In ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} visited [[Mt. Moon]] again and found multiple Clefairy again. They played a major role in the episode.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Clefairy was the only Pokémon that evolved with a Moon Stone.
* The [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|prototype name]] for Clefairy was ''Aria''. In the {{pmin|Russia}}n [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}, it was actually called that in the [[original series]].
** The {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub of the episode ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' calls Clefairy by its proper species name and "Aria" interchangeably.
* Clefairy and its evolved form [[List of categories by abundance|share]] their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Granbull}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
** The "Fairy Pokémon" category predates the introduction of the {{type|Fairy}} in [[Generation VI]]. From this generation onwards, the type and category of these four Pokémon share the same English name. However, this is not true in Japanese, where the type is フェアリータイプ ''Fairy-type'' and the category is ようせいポケモン ''Yōsei Pokémon''.
* The [[Poké Doll]] is a Clefairy doll, as identified by the Japanese name of this item (ピッピにんぎょう ''{{tt|Pippi|Clefairy}} Doll'').
* Clefairy was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]], and is one of [[Kōji Nishino]]'s favorite Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref>

===Origin===
Clefairy seems to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|pixie}}s since it is a playful, magical, humanoid creature with wings. It may also be inspired by the concept of {{wp|extraterrestrial life}} due to its rumored celestial origins and vaguely {{wp|star}}-shaped body. It may also reference the mythical {{wp|Moon rabbit}} due to its large ears, various Moon related powers, and the fact that it evolves into Clefable using a [[Moon Stone]].

====Name origin====
Clefairy may be a combination of ''{{wp|clef}}'' (musical symbol) and ''{{wp|fairy}}''.

Pippi may be derived from the repetition of the first syllable of ''{{wp|pixie}}''.

'''Koffing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドガース''' ''Dogars'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Weezing}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Koffing evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} starting at level 35.

==Biology==
Koffing is a spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} filled with toxic gases. It has vacant eyes and a wide mouth that usually has two pointed teeth in the upper jaw. However, a full set of teeth has been seen in [[BW083|the anime]]. Below its face is a cream-colored skull-and-crossbones marking. Several geyser-like protrusions, which usually release a mustard-colored gas, cover this Pokémon's body. Koffing's purple skin is very thin, and over-inflation can cause it to explode. The [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]] depicts Koffing as having a hollow body.

Koffing creates gases within its body by mixing toxins with garbage, and produces more gas in higher temperatures. These gases are malodorous and cause sniffles, coughs, and teary eyes to those around them. The gases are also lighter than air, allowing Koffing to hover. When agitated, it creates a more toxic gas and expels it through the holes in its body. As shown [[EP002|in the anime]], Koffing's gas can be ignited by fire or electricity. It feeds on the fumes of raw, rotting trash found in gas dumps and polluted air. Koffing at one point was plentiful in [[Galar]] due to factories. Koffing is most often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

Koffing and its evolution, {{p|Weezing}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Neutralizing Gas}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Koffing evolves into {{p|Weezing}}.

In [[Galar]], it evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} Weezing.

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

{{main|Koffing (TCG)}}
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Koffing will initiate a {{m|Poison Gas}} attack, which will pummel an opponent. Koffing did not return in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and was replaced by {{p|Weezing}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Koffing appears in the 3DS version as an enemy in Smash Run. Its Poison Gas will reduce player's stats.

It later reappears in Smash Tour, an exclusive mode for Wii U version. In this mode, Koffing will release {{m|Smokescreen}}, which will obscure all players' view of the board for one turn.

[[File:Koffing_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Koffing trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Koffing appears as a trophy in both games.

====Trophy information====
'''3DS:''' ''This Poison-type Pokémon's balloon-like body is filled with toxic gases. In Smash Run, it floats over to fighters and expels gas at regular intervals. If the gas touches you, the stats you've worked so hard to build up will drop! Attack while it's deflated to take it down safely, and then help yourself to the many, many items it leaves behind.''

'''Wii U:''' ''A Poison-type Pokémon that looks somewhat like a blown-up balloon. As you might be able to guess, though, it's not filled with fresh air - that's poison gas, and this Pokémon isn't shy about sharing. In Smash Tour, the gas it spews will hide spaces and any items that may be on them. The smoke should disappear by the end of the turn.''

==Trivia==
* Koffing's [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]] sprite depicts it with a pair of gaseous "hands". These have not been seen in any other Pokémon media.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Koffing was originally known as "Ny", representing {{wp|New York City}}'s polluted air.
* According to a question of a Pokémon Exam the characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} participated in, Koffing was supposedly first discovered in a public bathhouse. However, the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion's {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Koffing|58}} card states that Koffing was first discovered in a weapons factory. This may be either because [[Jessie]] answered the question incorrectly, or due to an inconsistency between the TCG and anime.
* Koffing and {{p|Munna}} are the only Pokémon whose names are mentioned in music found in the games. Munna's name is heard in ミュージカル「メロメロ★ムンナ」 ''[[Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection|Musical "Charming Munna"]]'', while Koffing's Japanese name is heard in タチワキジム(演奏・DOGARS) ''[[Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection|Virbank Gym (Performance - KOFFING)]]'', although it is replaced with the word "Pokémon" in international releases.
** This distinction is possibly shared with {{p|Wingull}}, as its Japanese name, キャモメ ''Camome'', is arguably heard in the obscure vocals of ビレッジブリッジ ''[[Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection|Village Bridge]]''.
* Koffing shares similar traits to {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Trubbish}}. All three Pokémon are pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a single evolved form, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Koffing being air pollution.
* Koffing and its evolved Kantonian form are the only Pokémon whose {{Abilities}} changed in [[Generation VIII]]. In previous [[generation]]s, their only Ability was {{a|Levitate}}.

===Origin===
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, Koffing may have been based upon a floating {{wp|naval mine}} or living {{wp|meteorite}}. It is also based on {{wp|smog}} and other forms of air pollution. Koffing may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic and/or radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable lifeforms. The symbol under its face resembles the {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol for poison.

====Name origin====
Koffing may be a corruption of ''coughing''.

Dogars may be derived from 毒ガス ''doku-gasu'' (poison gas).

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gengar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]]. It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

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

Additionally, Gengar has two [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Mega Gengar''' and '''Gigantamax Gengar'''. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gengar using the [[Gengarite]], and can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Gengar if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

==Biology==
Gengar is a dark purple, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a roundish body. It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears. On its back are numerous spikes and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.

Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}. Its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10 °F (5 °C), because it absorbs the warmth. The {{pkmn|anime}} has shown that Gengar can [[EP023|fly]], [[SM073|possess people]] and other Pokémon, [[EP121|create illusions]] and [[EP181|extend its tongue]] by several meters. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Night Shade}} was its [[signature move]].

Gengar is very mischievous, and at times, malicious. It enjoys playing practical jokes and casting curses, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar has been known to be loyal to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who treats it well. Being the result of an evolution via [[Trade|trading]], Gengar is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and dark places where shadows form. It is especially fond of urban areas such as cities and back alleys, but only during the night.

===Forms===
Gengar has two forms: [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar and [[Gigantamax]] Gengar.

As Mega Gengar, a portion of its body sinks into the ground and its arms and tail lengthen. The lower portions turn a more reddish-purple, and a third eye appears on its forehead. This new unblinking eye is oval, yellow, and allows it to see into other dimensions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref> The spikes on Mega Gengar's back are more numerous and pointed, and additional spikes appear on its hands and tail. Its ears are now considerably longer and tilt backward.

Mega Gengar has the ability to access other dimensions and has a vicious nature. Mega Gengar has no interest in opponents unless perceived as prey. Its relationships are warped due to [[Mega Evolution]]. It now desires to take and curse the life of anyone or anything in its path; it may even curse its own Trainer. Mega Gengar sinks into another dimension to wait for a chance to attack.

As Gigantamax Gengar, it becomes larger, with portions of its body sinking into the ground, and only the head, tail, and arms remain. Its body changes from dark-purple to light-purple and its eyes become white with yellow sclera. The inside of its mouth changes to resemble a tunnel with a long purple tongue sticking out. Three red clouds surround the top of Gengar's head.

Gigantamax Gengar's mouth is rumored to not lead into its body. Due to the cursed energy, it is believed to instead lead into the afterlife. By laying a trap, it attempts to steal the lives of those it captures. Should someone stand near its mouth, they can hear the voices of their loved ones calling out to them.

Gigantamax Gengar is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Terror}}.

Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar. It and Haunter seemed to have a fondness for {{wp|Tsukkomi|Japanese stand-up}}, and unsuccessfully attempted to amuse Ash by acting as a pair of performers. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP024|the following episode]].

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Gengar was awakened near the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]]. There, it battled an equally large {{p|Alakazam}} before being quelled by the affected {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

In ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', a wild {{pkmn2|Totem}}-sized Gengar [[nickname]]d "the Greedy Rapooh" was accidentally released from a stone it had been sealed in by {{TRT}}, and went on to kidnap [[Acerola]] and steal various items across [[Ula'ula Island]]. In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', it joined the rest of [[Alola]] in showering {{an|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}. In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', Acerola was revealed to have recently caught it.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball}}: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three {{p|Gastly}} and the pair of {{p|Haunter}}, a Gengar then appears and must be defeated to win.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming them for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human. After Rayquaza destroys the star heading for the world, Gengar will post a request, asking to visit Ninetales in the hopes of bringing back Gardevoir. While she is rescued, she has no recollection of her times with her trainer, but Gengar is still satisfied to see her safe and leaves.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Gengar appears as a recruitable character and asks the player to deliver a letter to {{p|Banette}}. As he is connected to [[Team Charm]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}, it is implied that he is the same aforementioned Gengar from Red and Blue Rescue Team, and that Team Charm's Gardevoir is the same one.

==Trivia==

[[File:094Gengar-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|175px|Promotional artwork of a {{Shiny}} [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar]]
* In the English [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar's prototype name was "Phantom". This is similar to Gengar's Korean name, which is 팬텀 ''Phantom''.
* Gengar is [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The reason for this is because he finds that Gengar is the easiest Pokémon to draw.<ref name=Pokémon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=NintendoInt>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref>
* Despite Gengar and its evolutionary relatives all being part {{type|Poison}}, none of them were able to learn any Poison-type moves by [[level]]ing up until [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* Gengar is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a [[Pokémon battle]] both in the {{pkmn|anime}} and in the {{pkmn|games}}, the other being {{p|Nidorino}}. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, on which the beginning of [[EP001|the first anime episode]] was based on, as well as the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]].
* Gengar, along with Nidorino (and possibly other Pokémon), originate from the [[Capsule Monsters]] game design pitch, which would eventually become the [[Pokémon]] series.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Gengar is the only Pokémon with the Ability Levitate that is not eligible for [[Sky Battle]]s.
* Mega Gengar has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* When viewing Mega Gengar's [[Pokédex]] entry, the camera's view can only be moved sideways.
* Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, require trading to reach their final stage of evolution, and are capable of Mega Evolution. They are the same height, and both get shorter upon Mega Evolution. They share a base friendship of 70 and, since Generation VI, a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to the other's [[STAB]], and they share weaknesses to the {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}} types. In the anime episode ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a Gengar and an Alakazam are put against each other.
** Gengar could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are, like Alakazam, the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, can both be obtained through evolution induced by trade, and are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing in [[Generation VIII]]. Both Gengar and Machamp also share a base friendship of 70. While both are weak against {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as Gengar is part {{type|Poison}} and Machamp is a {{type|Fighting}}, Gengar can counter it with its {{t|Ghost}} typing.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Team Meanies|Gengar]] knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation. These are the exact same moves {{p|Absol}} has when joining the player's team during this point in the main story. It's likely the data was unintentionally copied over, as escort Pokémon are uniquely coded from normal Pokémon. In the Rescue Team remake, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], Gengar's moves were changed to {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.
** Gengar's identity as a former human, as described by the Pokédex in Generation VII, may have been inspired by its portrayal in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], which was released 11 years before {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In {{g|Shuffle}}, Gengar's Shiny coloration is significantly lighter than in the core series. Instead, it resembles [[Alva]]'s Gengar from ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.
* In the [[core series]] games, Mega Gengar has small feet that can be seen by recalling it and sending it out. A glitch in [[Pokémon GO]] also allows Mega Gengar's feet to be seen. In [[Pokkén Tournament]], however, Mega Gengar does not have feet. Instead, a portal appears beneath it whenever it is airborne. Its tail will disappear as well.
* When Gengar [[Gigantamax]]es, it doesn't grow on screen. Instead, it pops out of the ground.
* Gengar is the only Pokémon capable of both Gigantamax and Mega Evolution that is not one of the [[Kanto]] [[first partner Pokémon]].
* Gigantamax Gengar and its {{Shiny}} form were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1282081394940801025 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 11, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1283183146972745728 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 14, 2020.</ref>
* Gengar is the only Ghost-type to have a Gigantamax form.
*In [[Generation VI]], due to a [[glitch]], on the first turn of becoming Mega Gengar, it can still be affected by {{m|Telekinesis}}.
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Snorlax}} for the most anime Pokédex entries, with a total of 7.

===Origin===

Gengar seems to be based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, {{wp|cat}}s, or the {{wp|Cheshire Cat}}, and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being as well, like {{wp|Shadow person|shadow people}}. Due to its horn-like ears, teeth, ability to float in the air, and dark nature, Gengar may also be based on the {{wp|oni}}. Oni sometimes have a third eye in the center of their forehead, which could be the basis for [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar.

====Name origin====
Gengar may be derived from ''{{wp|Doppelgänger}}'' (ghostly double of a living person). It may also involve 幻 ''gen'' (phantasm).

'''Guzzlord''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アクジキング''' ''Akuziking'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

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

It is one of the [[Ultra Beast]]s and is known by the code name '''UB-05 Glutton''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ０５　Ｇｌｕｔｔｏｎｙ|ユービーゼロゴ　グラトニー}}''').

==Biology==
Guzzlord is a massive, black [[Ultra Beast]]. Its main body is primarily spherical with a large, yellow mouth in the center. The top and bottom of the mouth are lined with two rows of teeth; the front row is yellow, while the rear row is black. In the second row of the upper jaw, two teeth curve out of the mouth similar to {{wp|tusk}}s. The inside of its mouth is a bright blue and its throat is lined with small spikes; its large black tongue is also lined with small spikes. Additional tongues resembling long arms with pincers protrude from its lower jaw even when its mouth is closed. Just above its mouth are two glowing, blue eyes with a yellow, diamond-shaped marking between them. Above each eye is a single, bat-like wing with yellow along the upper edge. There are other small bat-like wings down the sides of its body as well. On the underside of its body are three, fin-like projections that curve up towards its mouth.

Guzzlord's body is supported by a pair of thick legs, which have yellow zigzag markings across the knees and three claws each. On top of its body is a small, conical head with a second, smaller pair of glowing blue eyes. Four short horns with yellow tips form a ring around its head. On either side of its head is a larger, slightly curved horn also tipped in yellow. There is also a pair of arms on top of its body. Each arm has a hand with three yellow claws. A row of small spikes trails down its back and along its tail. The tail itself extends from the center of its back and resembles a medieval {{wp|Mace (bludgeon)|mace}}.

Guzzlord is said to feel like hard rubber. In order to eat, its tongue moves in a wave-like motion that pulls food towards its mouth.<ref>[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]</ref> There have been reports of it eating mountains and buildings whole. According to [[Wicke]] of the [[Aether Foundation]], its constant hunger causes it to eat anything within reach of its two, pincer-like tongues. Despite its appetite, no droppings have ever been found. It is speculated to convert everything it consumes into energy with no waste leftover.

==Trivia==
* Guzzlord has the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
** Guzzlord is also the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Dark-type Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], Guzzlord has a catch rate of 15 and a base [[experience]] yield of 114.
* Guzzlord was designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/935371474772180992 Tweet about designing Guzzlord]</ref>
* Guzzlord's English {{pkmn|category}}, "Junkivore", may be a combination of ''junk'' and ''-vore'' (suffix used to identify organisms by their diet derived from the Latin word meaning "to devour"). The name can be taken to mean "an organism that feeds on junk".

===Origin===
Guzzlord is based on abominations such as those found in the literary works of {{wp|H. P. Lovecraft}}, and the {{wp|List of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy characters#Agrajag|Agrajag}} creature of ''{{wp|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}''. Its black and yellow coloration is based on earthmoving machinery.<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/933479373889445888 Twitter - James Turner revealing the inspiration behind Guzzlord's design]</ref>

Due to its habit of eating almost anything but not excreting anything out, Guzzlord may also be based on a {{wp|black hole}}, a {{wp|tarasque}}, and also possibly a personification of {{wp|gluttony}}. As such, its white Shiny color could be a reference to {{wp|white hole}}s. Additionally, the general shape resembles an {{wp|European dragon}} with the {{wp|Chela (organ)|pincers}} of a {{wp|crab}}, while the spiny, mace-shaped tail is similar to prehistoric creatures such as the ''{{wp|Ankylosaurus}}'' and ''{{wp|Glyptodon}}''.

====Name origin====
Guzzlord may be a combination of ''guzzle'' (to eat or drink in a greedy manner) and ''lord''.

Akuziking is a combination of 悪 ''aku'' (bad, evil) and ''king''.<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1071701645447188480 Twitter - James Turner explaining Guzzlord's Japanese name]</ref> It may also involve 悪事 ''akuji'' (evil deed, crime) or 悪食 ''akujiki'' (consumption of repulsive things).

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gengar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}}, or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]] ([[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]). It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

Gengar has two other forms.
* It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gengar''' using the [[Gengarite]].
* It has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
[[File:Gengar floating anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Gengar floating in the air]]
Gengar is a dark purple, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a roundish body. It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears. On its back are numerous spikes and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.

Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}. Its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F (5°C), because it absorbs the warmth. [[EP023|The anime]] has shown that Gengar can fly, [[SM073|possess people]] and other Pokémon, and [[EP181|extend its tongue]] by several meters. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Night Shade}} was its [[signature move]].
[[File:Gengar in shadow.png|thumb|250px|Gengar in {{Ash}}'s shadow]]

Gengar is very mischievous, and at times, malicious. It enjoys playing practical jokes and casting curses, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar has been known to be loyal to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who treats it well. Being the result of an evolution via [[Trade|trading]], Gengar is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and dark places where shadows form. It is especially fond of urban areas such as cities and back alleys, but only during the night.

As Mega Gengar, a portion of its body sinks into the ground and its arms and tail lengthen. The lower portions turn a more reddish-purple, and a third eye appears on its forehead. This new unblinking eye is oval, yellow, and allows it to see into other dimensions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref> The spikes on Mega Gengar's back are more numerous and pointed, and additional spikes appear on its hands and tail. Its ears are now considerably longer and tilt backward.

Mega Gengar has the ability to access other dimensions and has a vicious nature. Mega Gengar has no interest in opponents unless perceived as prey. Its relationships are warped due to [[Mega Evolution]]. It now desires to take and curse the life of anyone or anything in its path; it may even curse its own Trainer. Mega Gengar sinks into another dimension to wait for a chance to attack.

As Gigantamax Gengar, it becomes larger, with portions of its body sinking into the ground, and only the head, tail, and arms remain. Its body changes from dark-purple to light-purple and its eyes become white with yellow sclera. The inside of its mouth changes to resemble a tunnel with a long purple tongue sticking out. Three red clouds surround the top of Gengar's head.

Gigantamax Gengar's mouth is rumored to not lead into its body. Due to the cursed energy, it is believed to instead lead into the afterlife. By laying a trap, it attempts to steal the lives of those it captures. Should someone stand near its mouth, they can hear the voices of their loved ones calling out to them.

Gigantamax Gengar is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Terror}}.

Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar. It and Haunter seemed to have a fondness for {{wp|Tsukkomi|Japanese stand-up}}, and unsuccessfully attempted to amuse Ash by acting as a pair of performers. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP024|the following episode]].

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Gengar was awakened near the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]]. There, it battled an equally large {{p|Alakazam}} before being quelled by the affected {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', a {{Shiny}} Gengar that can Mega Evolve was [[Alva]]'s main battling Pokémon. However, it would abandon Alva immediately after the destruction of the Mega Wave crystal that controlled it.

In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', [[Corey]]'s Gengar battled [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}, dodging most of its attacks before ultimately being frozen by its {{m|Ice Beam}}.

In ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', a wild {{pkmn2|Totem}}-sized Gengar [[nickname]]d "the Greedy Rapooh" was accidentally released from a stone it had been sealed in by {{TRT}}, and went on to kidnap [[Acerola]] and steal various items across [[Ula'ula Island]]. In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', it joined the rest of [[Alola]] in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}. In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', Acerola was revealed to have recently caught it.

* {{g|Pinball}}: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three {{p|Gastly}} and the pair of {{p|Haunter}}, a Gengar then appears and must be defeated to win.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming them for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human. After Rayquaza destroys the star heading for the world, Gengar will post a request, asking to visit Ninetales in the hopes of bringing back Gardevoir. While she is rescued, she has no recollection of her times with her trainer, but Gengar is still satisfied to see her safe and leaves.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Gengar appears as a recruitable character and asks the player to deliver a letter to {{p|Banette}}. As he is connected to [[Team Charm]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}, it is implied that he is the same aforementioned Gengar from Red and Blue Rescue Team, and that Team Charm's Gardevoir is the same one.

==Trivia==

[[File:094Gengar-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|175px|Promotional artwork of a {{Shiny}} [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar's prototype name was "Phantom". This is similar to Gengar's Korean name, which is 팬텀 ''Phantom''.
* Gengar is [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=NintendoInt>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref>
* Despite all of them being {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, Gengar and its [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]] were not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up prior to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* Gengar is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a [[Pokémon battle]] both in the {{pkmn|anime}} and in the {{pkmn|games}}, the other being {{p|Nidorino}}. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, on which the beginning of [[EP001|the first anime episode]] was based on, as well as the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]].
* Gengar, along with Nidorino (and possibly other Pokémon), originate from the [[Capsule Monsters]] game design pitch, which would eventually become the [[Pokémon]] series.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Gengar is the only Pokémon with the Ability Levitate that is not eligible for [[Sky Battle]]s.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Gengar and its pre-evolved forms.
* Mega Gengar has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* When viewing Mega Gengar's [[Pokédex]] entry, the camera's view can only be moved sideways.
* Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, require trading to reach their final stage of evolution, and are capable of Mega Evolution. They are the same height, and both get shorter upon Mega Evolution. They share a base friendship of 70 and, since Generation VI, a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to the other's [[STAB]], and they share weaknesses to the {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}} types. In the anime episode ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a Gengar and an Alakazam are put against each other.
** Gengar could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are, like Alakazam, the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, can both be obtained through evolution induced by trade, and are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing in [[Generation VIII]]. Both Gengar and Machamp also share a base friendship of 70. While both are weak against {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as Gengar is part {{type|Poison}} and Machamp is a {{type|Fighting}}, Gengar can counter it with its {{t|Ghost}} typing.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Team Meanies|Gengar]] knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation. These are the exact same moves {{p|Absol}} has when joining the player's team during this point in the main story. It's likely the data was unintentionally copied over, as escort Pokémon are uniquely coded from normal Pokémon. In the Rescue Team remake, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], Gengar's moves were changed to {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.
* Gengar's identity as a former human, as described by the Pokédex in Generation VII, may have been inspired by its portrayal in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], which was released 11 years before {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In the [[core series]] games, Mega Gengar has small feet that can be seen by recalling it and sending it out, a glitch in [[Pokémon Go]] also allows Mega Gengar's feet to be seen. In [[Pokkén Tournament]], however, Mega Gengar does not have feet. Instead, a portal appears beneath it whenever it is airborne. Its tail will disappear as well.
* When Gengar [[Gigantamax]]es, it doesn't grow on screen. Instead, it pops out of the ground.
* Gengar is the only Pokémon capable of Gigantamax and Mega Evolution that is not a [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]].
* Gigantamax Gengar and its {{Shiny}} form were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1282081394940801025 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 11, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1283183146972745728 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 14, 2020.</ref>
*In [[Generation VI]], due to a [[glitch]], on the first turn of becoming Mega Gengar, it can still be affected by {{m|Telekinesis}}.

===Origin===

Gengar seems to be based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, {{wp|cat}}s, or the {{wp|Cheshire Cat}}, and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being as well, like {{wp|Shadow person|shadow people}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar may be derived from ''{{wp|Doppelgänger}}'' (ghostly double of a living person). It may also involve 幻 ''gen'' (phantasm).

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gengar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}}, or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]] ([[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]). It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

Gengar has two other forms.
* It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gengar''' using the [[Gengarite]].
* It has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
[[File:Gengar floating anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Gengar floating in the air]]
Gengar is a dark purple, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a roundish body. It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears. On its back are numerous spikes and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.

Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}. Its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F (5°C), because it absorbs the warmth. [[EP023|The anime]] has shown that Gengar can fly, [[SM073|possess people]] and other Pokémon, and [[EP181|extend its tongue]] by several meters. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Night Shade}} was its [[signature move]].
[[File:Gengar in shadow.png|thumb|250px|Gengar in {{Ash}}'s shadow]]

Gengar is very mischievous, and at times, malicious. It enjoys playing practical jokes and casting curses, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar has been known to be loyal to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who treats it well. Being the result of an evolution via [[Trade|trading]], Gengar is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and dark places where shadows form. It is especially fond of urban areas such as cities and back alleys, but only during the night.

As Mega Gengar, a portion of its body sinks into the ground and its arms and tail lengthen. The lower portions turn a more reddish-purple, and a third eye appears on its forehead. This new unblinking eye is oval, yellow, and allows it to see into other dimensions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref> The spikes on Mega Gengar's back are more numerous and pointed, and additional spikes appear on its hands and tail. Its ears are now considerably longer and tilt backward.

Mega Gengar has the ability to access other dimensions and has a vicious nature. Mega Gengar has no interest in opponents unless perceived as prey. Its relationships are warped due to [[Mega Evolution]]. It now desires to take and curse the life of anyone or anything in its path; it may even curse its own Trainer. Mega Gengar sinks into another dimension to wait for a chance to attack.

As Gigantamax Gengar, it becomes larger, with portions of its body sinking into the ground, and only the head, tail, and arms remain. Its body changes from dark-purple to light-purple and its eyes become white with yellow sclera. The inside of its mouth changes to resemble a tunnel with a long purple tongue sticking out. Three red clouds surround the top of Gengar's head.

Gigantamax Gengar's mouth is rumored to not lead into its body. Due to the cursed energy, it is believed to instead lead into the afterlife. By laying a trap, it attempts to steal the lives of those it captures. Should someone stand near its mouth, they can hear the voices of their loved ones calling out to them.

Gigantamax Gengar is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Terror}}.

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming them for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human. After Rayquaza destroys the star heading for the world, Gengar will post a request, asking to visit Ninetales in the hopes of bringing back Gardevoir.

==Trivia==

[[File:094Gengar-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|175px|Promotional artwork of a {{Shiny}} [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar's prototype name was "Phantom". This is similar to Gengar's Korean name, which is 팬텀 ''Phantom''.
* Gengar is [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=NintendoInt>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref>
* Despite all of them being {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, Gengar and its [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]] were not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up prior to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* Gengar is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a [[Pokémon battle]] both in the {{pkmn|anime}} and in the {{pkmn|games}}, the other being {{p|Nidorino}}. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, on which the beginning of [[EP001|the first anime episode]] was based on, as well as the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]].
* Gengar, along with Nidorino (and possibly other Pokémon), originate from the [[Capsule Monsters]] game design pitch, which would eventually become the [[Pokémon]] series.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Gengar is the only Pokémon with the Ability Levitate that is not eligible for [[Sky Battle]]s.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Gengar and its pre-evolved forms.
* Mega Gengar has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* When viewing Mega Gengar's [[Pokédex]] entry, the camera's view can only be moved sideways.
* Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, require trading to reach their final stage of evolution, and are capable of Mega Evolution. They are the same height, and both get shorter upon Mega Evolution. They share a base friendship of 70 and, since Generation VI, a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to the other's [[STAB]], and they share weaknesses to the {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}} types. In the anime episode ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a Gengar and an Alakazam are put against each other.
** Gengar could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are, like Alakazam, the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, can both be obtained through evolution induced by trade, and are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing in [[Generation VIII]]. Both Gengar and Machamp also share a base friendship of 70. While both are weak against {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as Gengar is part {{type|Poison}} and Machamp is a {{type|Fighting}}, Gengar can counter it with its {{t|Ghost}} typing.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Team Meanies|Gengar]] knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation. These are the exact same moves {{p|Absol}} has when joining the player's team during this point in the main story. It's likely the data was unintentionally copied over, as escort Pokémon are uniquely coded from normal Pokémon. In the Rescue Team remake, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], Gengar's moves were changed to {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.
* Gengar's identity as a former human, as described by the Pokédex in Generation VII, may have been inspired by its portrayal in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], which was released 11 years before {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In the [[core series]] games, Mega Gengar has small feet that can be seen by recalling it and sending it out, a glitch in [[Pokémon Go]] also allows Mega Gengar's feet to be seen. In [[Pokkén Tournament]], however, Mega Gengar does not have feet. Instead, a portal appears beneath it whenever it is airborne. Its tail will disappear as well.
* When Gengar [[Gigantamax]]es, it doesn't grow on screen. Instead, it pops out of the ground.
* Gengar is the only Pokémon capable of Gigantamax and Mega Evolution that is not a [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]].
* Gigantamax Gengar and its {{Shiny}} form were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1282081394940801025 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 11, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1283183146972745728 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 14, 2020.</ref>
*In [[Generation VI]], due to a [[glitch]], on the first turn of becoming Mega Gengar, it can still be affected by {{m|Telekinesis}}.

===Origin===

Gengar seems to be based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, {{wp|cat}}s, or the {{wp|Cheshire Cat}}, and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being as well, like {{wp|Shadow person|shadow people}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar and Gangar may be derived from ''{{wp|Doppelgänger}}'' (ghostly double of a living person). It may also involve 幻 ''gen'' (phantasm).

'''Granbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グランブル''' ''Granbull'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Snubbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
Granbull is a purple, bipedal, {{wp|bulldog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a prominent lower jaw with two long, fang-like growths. Its upper jaw has two small fangs. The jaws are so heavy that the Pokémon has trouble keeping its head up. On the sides of its head are flat, curved ears, and its small nose is black. There is a black collar around its neck with two small white markings on it. Around its wrists are two black band markings, and it has a short tail.

Despite its fierce appearance, it is actually very timid. Unless Granbull is startled, it will not bite indiscriminately. If attacked, it will flail about to fend off its attacker. Granbull wanders around {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: {{mdc|Granbull|1}} hangs around [[Pokémon Square]], first seen as a {{p|Snubbull}}.

==Trivia==
* Granbull and its pre-evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
* As the [[Ability]] {{a|Quick Feet}} did not exist until [[Generation IV]], a Snubbull with either {{a|Intimidate}} or {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into a Granbull with Intimidate in [[Generation III]] games. This means that in Generation III, Granbull is the only Pokémon with an Ability that evolves from a Pokémon with one of two possible Abilities that shares to Granbull's Ability.

===Origin===
Granbull may be based on an {{wp|English bulldog}}, a breed that can appear fierce but is actually gentle. Bulldogs are often depicted as being used as {{wp|guard dog}}s, which may explain Granbull's thick collar and wristband/shackle-like markings. Its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Egg Group]], {{t|Fairy|type}}, and appearance may reference the {{wp|Cù-sìth}}, a creature in {{wp|Celtic mythology}} whose name means ''dog fairy'' and various grotesque mythical creatures such as {{wp|goblin}}s and {{wp|orc}}s.

====Name origin====
Granbull may be a combination of ''grand'', ''grumble'', and ''bulldog'' or ''bully''.

'''Granbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グランブル''' ''Granbulu'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Snubbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
Granbull is a purple, bipedal, {{wp|bulldog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a prominent lower jaw with two long, fang-like growths. Its upper jaw has two small fangs. The jaws are so heavy that the Pokémon has trouble keeping its head up. On the sides of its head are flat, curved ears, and its small nose is black. There is a black collar around its neck with two small white markings on it. Around its wrists are two black band markings, and it has a short tail.

Despite its fierce appearance, it is actually very timid. Unless Granbull is startled, it will not bite indiscriminately. If attacked, it will flail about to fend off its attacker. Granbull wanders around {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Granbull anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Granbull in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Madame Muchmoney's Granbull]]=====
A female {{p|Snubbull}} ran away from its home and followed {{TRT}} (and, by extension, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}) around the [[Johto]] [[region]] for a short while. She evolved into a Granbull in ''[[EP175|The Trouble with Snubbull]]''. It was then returned to her owner, [[Madame Muchmoney]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'', [[Cassidy]]'s Granbull battled [[Jessie's Seviper]] and was then defeated by [[Dawn's Piplup]] and a wild {{OBP|Hippopotas|recurring}}.

In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', [[Mario]] used a Granbull during the {{to|Lilypad}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. It went up against {{an|Dawn}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}, and it was soon defeated.

In ''[[SM070|The Young Flame Strikes Back!]]'', the [[Officer Jenny]] from [[Akala Island]] owns a Granbull. It prevented [[Viren]] and [[Viren's henchmen|his henchmen]] from escaping after they arrived to arrest them for attempting to destroy the [[Paniola Ranch]].

====Minor appearances====

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: {{mdc|Granbull|1}} hangs around [[Pokémon Square]], first seen as a {{p|Snubbull}}. After the game is completed, it goes into a newly discovered cave and evolves without realizing what was happening, though it enjoyed its new appearance after getting over the initial shock. This event alerted the rest of the characters that evolution was now possible.

==Trivia==
* Granbull and its pre-evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
* As the [[Ability]] {{a|Quick Feet}} did not exist until [[Generation IV]], a Snubbull with either {{a|Intimidate}} or {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into a Granbull with Intimidate in [[Generation III]] games. This means that in Generation III, Granbull is the only Pokémon with an Ability that evolves from a Pokémon with one of two possible Abilities that shares to Granbull's Ability.

===Origin===
Granbull may be based on an {{wp|English bulldog}}, a breed that can appear fierce but is actually gentle. Bulldogs are often depicted as being used as {{wp|guard dog}}s, which may explain Granbull's thick collar and wristband/shackle-like markings. Its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Egg Group]], {{t|Fairy|type}}, and appearance may reference the {{wp|Cù-sìth}}, a creature in {{wp|Celtic mythology}} whose name means ''dog fairy'' and various grotesque mythical creatures such as {{wp|goblin}}s and {{wp|orc}}s.

====Name origin====
Granbull may be a combination of ''grand'', ''grumble'', and ''bulldog'' or ''bully''.

'''Chikorita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チコリータ''' ''Chicorita'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Meganium}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Chikorita is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold, Silver}}, {{v2|Crystal}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and SoulSilver}}.

==Biology==
Chikorita is a small, pale-green, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with dark-green buds around its neck. Its head is large in proportion to the rest of its body, and it has big red eyes. Chikorita has four short legs with a single nailed toe on each and a stubby tail. On top of its head is a large, green leaf that is usually longer than its body. A soothing aroma wafts from the leaf, which can calm battling Pokémon. The leaf is also used to sense temperature and humidity. Chikorita actively seeks out and enjoys the sun's warmth.

Chikorita can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. However, due to its status as a starter Pokémon, a wild Chikorita is hard to come by and it is generally found under the ownership of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Chikorita has a docile nature.

==Trivia==
[[File:GS flyer back.jpg|thumb|250px|Chikorita with its original yellow body on Nintendo's flyer for Gold and Silver from September 1999]]
* The Chikorita family is the only evolutionary line of a [[starter Pokémon]] to not have their names changed for the English release. Thus, they also keep their Japanese voices in the [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* In the anime, Chikorita have had the most {{pkmn|Trainer}}s among the Johto starter Pokémon. One Chikorita has been trained by each of {{Ash}}, {{an|Casey}}, [[Vincent]], {{OBP|Silver|HS18}}, {{an|Lyra}} and [[Horace]]. However, Ash is the only one who is confirmed to not have received Chikorita as a starter Pokémon.
* Chikorita is the only starter Pokémon that cannot be used in the [[Pokémon Jump]] minigame.
* In both early artwork and the in-game sprites of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Chikorita's body is yellow. This was changed to light green in later artwork and the {{game|Crystal}} sprites.
* An [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|early demo]] of {{g|Gold and Silver}} in 1997 shows Chikorita's name as Happa (Japanese: '''ハッパ'''), which literally means ''leaf''.
* Due to a programming error, Chikorita is not required in order to receive the [[Diploma]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

===Origin===
Chikorita appears to be based off {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}}s. Its shape and appearance also alludes to that of a {{wp|pear}}, or a Belgian {{wp|endive}}, a type of chicory.

====Name origin====
Chikorita may be a combination of ''{{wp|chicory}}'' (a flowering plant) and ''-ita'' (the feminine form of the Spanish suffix for something small or young).

'''Bayleef''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベイリーフ''' ''Bayleaf'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chikorita}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Meganium}} starting at level 32.

==Biology==
Bayleef is a quadrupedal, pale-yellow {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}. It has a long neck, red eyes, a short, rounded snout, and a stubby tail. Each foot has a single, light gray nail. Sprouting from its forehead is a green leaf that curves back over its head and around its neck are a series of tightly curled leaves. Inside the leaves are small tree shoots. The aroma wafting from the leaves around its neck has a spicy scent and has various beneficial effects on those that inhale it. The fragrance has a combination of energizing, stimulating, and healing effects. Bayleef can be rarely found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Bayleef.png|thumb|left|250px|Bayleef in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bayleef]]====
In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', {{Ash}}'s {{p|Chikorita}} evolved into a Bayleef while protecting Ash from {{TRT}}. Bayleef still had the same personality she had when she was still a Chikorita, but she soon mellowed out.

====[[Casey's Bayleef]]====
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', {{an|Casey}}'s Chikorita evolved into a Bayleef. It evolved again into a {{p|Meganium}} off-screen prior to the events of ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid!]]''.

====Other====
[[Horace]]'s Chikorita was revealed to have evolved into a Bayleef in ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]''. It was used in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In the anime|Raid Battle]] against an {{p|Articuno}}, only to be defeated.

===Minor appearances===
A Bayleef appeared in a fantasy in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Bayleef appeared in ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]''.

Four Bayleef appeared in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', with two under the ownership of two different Trainers (including [[Mother and daughter|an unnamed recurring woman]]), the third being {{pkmn2|wild}}, and the fourth appearing during a flashback.

==Trivia==
* Bayleef and its evolutionary relatives are the only evolutionary line of a [[starter Pokémon]] to not have their names changed for the English release. Thus, they also keep their Japanese voices in the [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Bayleef's "necklace" is consistently described as having a spicy aroma, while real {{wp|bay leaves}} have a bitter and herbal taste, which is similar to {{wp|thyme}}.

===Origin===
Bayleef appears to be based of {{wp|sauropoda|sauropods}}, specifically the ''{{wp|Apatosaurus}}''. Its vegetable part may be based on the leaves of the {{wp|Laurus nobilis|bay laurel}}, whose oil is used for healing and as a stimulant in {{wp|aromatherapy}}.

====Name origin====
Bayleef appears to be a corruption of ''{{wp|bay leaf}}'', a herb.

'''Togepi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トゲピー''' ''Togepy'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Togetic}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]], which evolves into {{p|Togekiss}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]].

==Biology==
Togepi is a small, light-yellow {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a rounded, egg-shaped body. After hatching from its {{pkmn|Egg}}, Togepi's body remains encased in its eggshell. That shell has a white base color, and rounded, mostly unfilled shapes (with thick borders that are either red or blue) dot the shell on all sides. Sticking out of its shell, Togepi has stubby, rounded cone arms and round feet with two toes each. Togepi has thin, black, oval eyes with thin, black arcs on their outer sides. Its head has five round-tipped, conical spikes that seem to form a crown. It also has semi-oval, brown pads on the soles of its feet.

[[EP054|The anime]] has shown that it can retract into its shell, which it usually does to sleep. It is able to siphon the positive energy of others, storing that happiness in its shell, and then release it to those in need of it. Togepi is able to release poison from the spikes on its head. It has a very joyful nature. As a result, it is said that it shares its joy with those who take care of it. Because of its disposition, Togepi is seen as a sign of good luck, especially if a Trainer is capable of getting a sleeping Togepi to stand. Togepi's innocent smile is said to calm the soul. It is also shown in [[DP142|the anime]] that Togepi can act very maliciously at times, causing havoc and bad luck to its enemies. Although it is rare in the wild, Togepi can most commonly be found living within the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.

===Major appearances===
====[[Misty's Togepi]]====
In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}} found a [[Pokémon Egg]]. In ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', it hatched into a Togepi, thus also marking the species' debut. Since {{an|Misty}} was the first thing the [[baby Pokémon]] saw, it believed Misty to be its mother. Since then, Togepi stayed by Misty's side until ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where it evolved into {{p|Togetic}} and decided to stay in the [[Mirage Kingdom]] to guard other Togepi in the [[Togepi Paradise]].

====Other====
In ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', multiple Togepi were living in the [[Togepi Paradise]]. [[Princess Sara]] caught one of them when it stayed behind while the others returned to their home.

In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', an unusually bratty female Togepi used her cuteness to manipulate people so she could cause mischief.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Togepi was following [[Harriet]] around.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'', a Togepi watched {{an|Meloetta}}'s concert.

In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', a Togepi playfully chased a {{p|Chikorita}}.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Togepi appeared in ''[[JN004|Settling the Scorbunny!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Togebo}}
{{adv|Gold}} was given an {{pkmn|Egg}} created by [[Jasmine]]'s Togetic from [[Professor Elm]] that later hatched into a Togepi, which was [[nickname]]d [[Togebo]]. Togebo's Egg first appeared in ''[[PS095|Stantler By Me]]'', but Togebo wouldn't officially appear until ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]''. Due to his abilities as a hatcher, Togebo was born with Gold's trouble-making habits, much to Professor Elm's displeasure. Despite this, Gold wasn't able to truly connect with Togebo until the climax of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where he evolves into a Togetic and then a Togekiss via a [[Shiny Stone]].

A Togepi appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

==Other appearances==
[[File:Togepi SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Togepi in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Togepi will use {{m|Metronome}} which will trigger {{m|Night Shade}}, {{m|Magnitude}}, {{m|Sing}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, or {{m|Leech Seed}}.

====Melee trophy information====
''These adorable Spike Ball Pokémon hatch from eggs given out by [[Professor Elm]]'s assistant. Common superstition holds that their shells are chock-full of happiness and that they become good-luck charms when handled with kindness. It's impossible to predict which ability a Togepi will call upon when it uses its {{m|Metronome}} move, so you'd better be ready!''

The Melee trophy incorrectly states that Togepi's first appearance was in Pokémon Gold and Silver. Togepi's first appearance was actually in [[Hey You, Pikachu!]].
{{-}}
====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Spike Ball Pokémon. It's said that its shell is filled with joy, and a proverb asserts that if you can get a sleeping Togepi to stand up, you will gain happiness. Togepi can lower its opponent's attack power using {{m|Charm}}. Once it has become friends with its Trainer, Togepi evolves into Togetic."''
{{-}}
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Togepi once again appears as a Poké Ball summon. After being released, it will use {{m|Metronome}} to trigger either {{m|Night Shade}} (causes stage darkness), {{m|Leech Seed}} (plants flower for gradual damage), {{m|Hypnosis}} (puts to sleep), {{m|Icy Wind}} (freezes) or {{m|Earthquake}} (traps in the ground).

[[File:Togepi_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Togepi trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Togepi also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''This Fairy-type Pokémon grows by feeding off the happiness, fun, and kindness of others. It's always filled with joy! In Smash Bros., Togepi uses the unpredictable Metronome move on foes. This move can cause drowsiness, damaging-flower growth, or stage darkness.''

'''PAL:''' ''A Fairy-type Pokémon that's always sunny side up! It can siphon positive energy from people and spread it across the world. Its Metronome attack can have a wide variety of effects. Maybe it'll plunge the stage into darkness. Maybe it'll plant damage-dealing seeds on fighters' heads. Whatever it does, Togepi will leave fighters scrambling.''
{{-}}
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Togepi returns as a Pokémon summoned from the {{i|Poké Ball}}, retaining its behavior from previous games. Togepi also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Togepi Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Togepi in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Togepi is the second [[Generation II]] Pokémon (after {{p|Ho-Oh}}) to appear in the [[Kanto]] saga of the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is also the first future generation Pokémon with a known name at the time of its appearance to appear in the anime.
* Togepi was the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in a Pokémon video game. It made an appearance in [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on 12 December 1998, almost a full year before the first Generation II games, [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]], were released, on 21 November 1999.
* The Togepi that hatched from the {{pkmn|Egg}} from [[Mr. Pokémon]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} knows {{m|Extrasensory}}, a move normally only available as an [[Egg Move]], so the father could only be a {{P|Hoothoot}} or a {{P|Noctowl}} that knew {{m|Extrasensory}}.
* While [[baby Pokémon]] are often revealed before the [[generation]] they debut in, Togepi is so far the only such Pokémon to be revealed before its evolved form.
* On the DVD scene selection screen from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Togepi is listed as Pokémon #152.
* In [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], when Togepi is attacking, it makes a different cry to its usual one.
** When it faints, however, the normal fainting cry it makes in the other games is heard.
* Togepi is tied with {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azurill}} for having the lowest base Attack of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* All of Togepi's anime [[Pokédex]] entries during [[S01|season 1]] refer to it as an "Egg Pokemon". This is due to its real category, "Spike Ball Pokémon", not being known at the time.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Togepi holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least amount of time to evolve twice, taking only [[PS459|one chapter]]. It shares this with [[Kitty|Caterpie]] and [[Polibo|Poliwag]].
* Togepi appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. To use it, one must have their {{pkmn|Egg}} damaged three times, then Togepi hatches and behaves like a king piece in chess. When the player loses their Togepi, they lose.
* Togepi and {{p|Absol}} are the only non-{{type|Flying}} Pokémon that can have {{a|Super Luck}} as their Ability.
* Togepi, {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} are the only [[baby Pokémon]] to have a {{tcg|TAG TEAM}} {{tcg|Pokémon-GX|GX}} card.

===Origin===
Togepi appears to be based on the concept of a baby hatchling of any of a number of species of animals. It could also possibly be based on an egg, with its evolved forms based loosely on {{wp|bird}}s.

Due to its tendency to bring luck (either good or bad), Togepi is possibly based on the {{wp|dokkaebi}}, a Korean mythological goblin that brings bad luck and good luck to anyone. This might explain why Togepi can have Super Luck as its {{Hidden Ability}}.

====Name origin====
Togepi may be a combination of 刺 ''toge'' (spike) and ピヨピヨ ''piyopiyo'' (onomatopoeia for a bird chirping).

'''Togepi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トゲピー''' ''Togepy'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Togetic}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]], which evolves into {{p|Togekiss}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]].

==Biology==
Togepi is a small, light-yellow {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a rounded, egg-shaped body. After hatching from its {{pkmn|Egg}}, Togepi's body remains encased in its eggshell. That shell has a white base color, and rounded, mostly unfilled shapes (with thick borders that are either red or blue) dot the shell on all sides. Sticking out of its shell, Togepi has stubby, rounded cone arms and round feet with two toes each. Togepi has thin, black, oval eyes with thin, black arcs on their outer sides. Its head has five round-tipped, conical spikes that seem to form a crown. It also has semi-oval, brown pads on the soles of its feet.

[[EP054|The anime]] has shown that it can retract into its shell, which it usually does to sleep. It is able to siphon the positive energy of others, storing that happiness in its shell, and then release it to those in need of it. Togepi is able to release poison from the spikes on its head. It has a very joyful nature. As a result, it is said that it shares its joy with those who take care of it. Because of its disposition, Togepi is seen as a sign of good luck, especially if a Trainer is capable of getting a sleeping Togepi to stand. Togepi's innocent smile is said to calm the soul. It is also shown in [[DP142|the anime]] that Togepi can act very maliciously at times, causing havoc and bad luck to its enemies. Although it is rare in the wild, Togepi can most commonly be found living within the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.

===Major appearances===
====[[Misty's Togepi]]====
In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}} found a [[Pokémon Egg]]. In ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', it hatched into a Togepi, thus also marking the species' debut. Since {{an|Misty}} was the first thing the [[baby Pokémon]] saw, it believed Misty to be its mother. Since then, Togepi stayed by Misty's side until ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where it evolved into {{p|Togetic}} and decided to stay in the [[Mirage Kingdom]] to guard other Togepi in the [[Togepi Paradise]].

====Other====
In ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', multiple Togepi were living in the [[Togepi Paradise]]. [[Princess Sara]] caught one of them when it stayed behind while the others returned to their home.

In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', an unusually bratty female Togepi used her cuteness to manipulate people so she could cause mischief.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Togepi was following [[Harriet]] around.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'', a Togepi watched {{an|Meloetta}}'s concert.

In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', a Togepi playfully chased a {{p|Chikorita}}.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Togepi appeared in ''[[JN004|Settling the Scorbunny!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Togebo}}
{{adv|Gold}} was given an {{pkmn|Egg}} created by [[Jasmine]]'s Togetic from [[Professor Elm]] that later hatched into a Togepi, which was [[nickname]]d [[Togebo]]. Togebo's Egg first appeared in ''[[PS095|Stantler By Me]]'', but Togebo wouldn't officially appear until ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]''. Due to his abilities as a hatcher, Togebo was born with Gold's trouble-making habits, much to Professor Elm's displeasure. Despite this, Gold wasn't able to truly connect with Togebo until the climax of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where he evolves into a Togetic and then a Togekiss via a [[Shiny Stone]].

A Togepi appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

==Other appearances==
[[File:Togepi SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Togepi in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Togepi will use {{m|Metronome}} which will trigger {{m|Night Shade}}, {{m|Magnitude}}, {{m|Sing}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, or {{m|Leech Seed}}.

====Melee trophy information====
''These adorable Spike Ball Pokémon hatch from eggs given out by [[Professor Elm]]'s assistant. Common superstition holds that their shells are chock-full of happiness and that they become good-luck charms when handled with kindness. It's impossible to predict which ability a Togepi will call upon when it uses its {{m|Metronome}} move, so you'd better be ready!''

The Melee trophy incorrectly states that Togepi's first appearance was in Pokémon Gold and Silver. Togepi's first appearance was actually in [[Hey You, Pikachu!]].
{{-}}
====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Spike Ball Pokémon. It's said that its shell is filled with joy, and a proverb asserts that if you can get a sleeping Togepi to stand up, you will gain happiness. Togepi can lower its opponent's attack power using {{m|Charm}}. Once it has become friends with its Trainer, Togepi evolves into Togetic."''
{{-}}
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Togepi once again appears as a Poké Ball summon. After being released, it will use {{m|Metronome}} to trigger either {{m|Night Shade}} (causes stage darkness), {{m|Leech Seed}} (plants flower for gradual damage), {{m|Hypnosis}} (puts to sleep), {{m|Icy Wind}} (freezes) or {{m|Earthquake}} (traps in the ground).

[[File:Togepi_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Togepi trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Togepi also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''This Fairy-type Pokémon grows by feeding off the happiness, fun, and kindness of others. It's always filled with joy! In Smash Bros., Togepi uses the unpredictable Metronome move on foes. This move can cause drowsiness, damaging-flower growth, or stage darkness.''

'''PAL:''' ''A Fairy-type Pokémon that's always sunny side up! It can siphon positive energy from people and spread it across the world. Its Metronome attack can have a wide variety of effects. Maybe it'll plunge the stage into darkness. Maybe it'll plant damage-dealing seeds on fighters' heads. Whatever it does, Togepi will leave fighters scrambling.''
{{-}}
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Togepi returns as a Pokémon summoned from the {{i|Poké Ball}}, retaining its behavior from previous games. Togepi also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Togepi Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Togepi in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Togepi is the second [[Generation II]] Pokémon (after {{p|Ho-Oh}}) to appear in the [[Kanto]] saga of the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is also the first future generation Pokémon with a known name at the time of its appearance to appear in the anime.
* Togepi was the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in a Pokémon video game. It made an appearance in [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on 12 December 1998, almost a full year before the first Generation II games, [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]], were released, on 21 November 1999.
* The Togepi that hatched from the {{pkmn|Egg}} from [[Mr. Pokémon]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} knows {{m|Extrasensory}}, a move normally only available as an [[Egg Move]], so the father could only be a {{P|Hoothoot}} or a {{P|Noctowl}} that knew {{m|Extrasensory}}.
* While [[baby Pokémon]] are often revealed before the [[generation]] they debut in, Togepi is so far the only such Pokémon to be revealed before its evolved form.
* On the DVD scene selection screen from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Togepi is listed as Pokémon #152.
* In [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], when Togepi is attacking, it makes a different cry to its usual one.
** When it faints, however, the normal fainting cry it makes in the other games is heard.
* Togepi is tied with {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azurill}} for having the lowest base Attack of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* All of Togepi's anime [[Pokédex]] entries during [[S01|season 1]] refer to it as an "Egg Pokemon". This is due to its real category, "Spike Ball Pokémon", not being known at the time.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Togepi holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least amount of time to evolve twice, taking only [[PS459|one chapter]]. It shares this with [[Kitty|Caterpie]] and [[Polibo|Poliwag]].
* Togepi appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. To use it, one must have their {{pkmn|Egg}} damaged three times, then Togepi hatches and behaves like a king piece in chess. When the player loses their Togepi, they lose.
* Togepi and {{p|Absol}} are the only non-{{type|Flying}} Pokémon that can have {{a|Super Luck}} as their Ability.
* Togepi, {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} are the only [[baby Pokémon]] to have a {{tcg|TAG TEAM}} {{tcg|Pokémon-GX|GX}} card.

===Origin===
Togepi appears to be based on the concept of a baby hatchling of any of a number of species of animals. It could also possibly be based on an egg, with its evolved forms based loosely on {{wp|bird}}s.

Due to its tendency to bring luck (either good or bad), Togepi is possibly based on the {{wp|dokkaebi}}, a Korean mythological goblin that brings bad luck and good luck to anyone. This might explain why Togepi can have Super Luck as its {{Hidden Ability}}.

====Name origin====
Togepi and Togepy may be a combination of 刺 ''toge'' (spike) and ピヨピヨ ''piyopiyo'' (onomatopoeia for a bird chirping).

'''Drowzee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スリープ''' ''Sleepe'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Hypno}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Drowzee is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|tapir}}. It has tired-looking eyes, a short trunk above its mouth, and triangular ears with brown interiors. The upper half of Drowzee's body is yellow and the lower half is brown. A wavy line separates the two halves. It has a round belly and short legs. Its feet are brown, except for its two toes, which are yellow. The bottom of each foot has a small, round, pink pad in the middle of it. There are three fingers on each of its hands. Drowzee is believed to have a common ancestor with {{p|Munna}} and {{p|Musharna}}.

Drowzee is able to put people to sleep and can then sense the person's dreams. This is so it knows what kind of dream it would be eating. It has certain preferences for the dreams it eats, and it is known to love fun dreams and become ill from bad dreams. It will rarely eat the dreams of adults, as the dreams of children are seemingly tastier. Drowzee remembers every dream it has eaten and may show past meals to a person it trusts. It eats dreams through the victim's nose, so it is said that Drowzee is standing over a person's pillow if their nose itches while they are asleep. Drowzee lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}.

==In the anime==

Drowzee debuted in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'', where it and its evolved counterpart were used to help the members of the {{DL|Pokémon Fan Club|Pokémon Lover's Club}} get some sleep.

In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] used a Drowzee stolen from their [[EP057|fake Pokémon Breeding Center]] while stationed at [[Mandarin Island North]].

In ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', a Drowzee lived in an abandoned mining colony. The other Psychic Pokémon it lived with had parties in order to help them forget their sadness due to the fact that the miners had left the town long ago.

In ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]'', [[Azure]] owns a Drowzee, which participated with him in the fake ''[[Sinnoh Pokémon Hustle]]'' that {{TRT}} had set up.

A thief {{OBP|Drowzee|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} appeared in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

In ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]'', a Trainer's Drowzee watched the battle between Ash's Pikachu and {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]''.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Drowzee is based on the Japanese myth of the {{wp|Baku (mythology)|baku}}, creatures who eat bad dreams of sleeping people. Originally, they were composite animals, but later became {{wp|tapir}}s — pig-like animals with small trunks from {{wp|South America}} and {{wp|South Asia}}. It also shares some traits with {{wp|elephant}}s. Drowzee's dual coloring makes it especially similar to the {{wp|Malayan tapir}}.

====Name origin====
Drowzee may be a combination of ''drowsy'' and ''zzz'' (onomatopoeia for snoring).

Sleepe may be derived from ''sleep''.

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into one of [[Eeveelution|eight different Pokémon]] through various methods:
* From [[Generation I]] onwards:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].
* From [[Generation II]] onwards, except in {{gameabbrev3|FRLG}}/{{gameabbrevss|Colo}}/{{gameabbrev7|PE}} or if the [[Methods of evolution|evolutionary conditions]] for it to evolve into Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon have also been met:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Espeon}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|day]] or with a [[Sun Shard]]{{gameabbrevss|XD}} in the {{player}}'s [[Bag]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high friendship during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|night]] or with a [[Moon Shard]]{{gameabbrevss|XD}} in the player's Bag.
* From [[Generation IV]] onwards, except in {{gameabbrev4|HGSS}}/{{gameabbrev7|PE}}:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Leafeon}} when leveled up near a [[Moss Rock]] (unavailable in {{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}) or when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]]{{gen|VIII}}.
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Glaceon}} when leveled up near an [[Ice Rock]] (unavailable in {{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}) or when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]]{{gen|VIII}} (unobtainable in {{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}).
* From [[Generation VI]] onwards, except in {{gameabbrev7|PE}}/{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}} or if the evolutionary conditions for it to evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon have also been met:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Sylveon}} when leveled up while knowing a {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] and having at least two levels of [[affection]]{{gen|VI}}–{{gen|VII}} or high friendship{{gen|VIII}}.

Eevee has a [[Gigantamax]] form. Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve.

Eevee is the [[game mascot]] and [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], as well as for the main characters of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Conquest]]. It is the starting Pokémon and first Pokémon employee of the player in [[Pokémon Café Mix]]. It is also the [[rival]]'s starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, although [[Professor Oak]] originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

==Biology==
Eevee is a small, {{wp|mammal}}ian, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears with dark brown interiors, and a small black nose.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], the {{player}} [[starter Pokémon|starts with]] a special Eevee known as the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} Eevee. The partner Eevee has purple eyes and a lighter shade of fur. These design elements were likely taken from the {{pkmn|anime}}, which implemented similar traits starting in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. The partner Eevee has higher base stats and access to [[move]]s that normal Eevee do not. The marking on the tip of a [[Variant Pokémon#Eevee|female partner Eevee]]'s tail is flower-shaped. Before [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], this trait was unique and wasn't found on other female Eevee. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] and later [[Pokémon GO]] updates, the unique tail pattern is present on all female Eevee as a true [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]].

Eevee is rarely found in the wild and is mostly only found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and towns}}. However, it is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure that is easily influenced by its environment. This allows it to adapt to a variety of habitats by [[Evolution|evolving]]. Eevee can potentially evolve into [[Eeveelution|eight different evolutions]]. Eevee can also adapt the face of the Trainer that owns it. Eevee's genes are believed to have the key to solving the mysteries of Pokémon evolution.

As [[Gigantamax]] Eevee, it has become larger and more fluffy. The fur collar becomes longer with several triangular furs pointing straight up. The right ear has three red clouds surrounding it like a circle. Due to the fur becoming fluffier and more luxurious, any enemies caught in it will lose the will to fight due to being enamored by it. Eevee becomes even more playful and rambunctious after Gigantamaxing, desiring to play with its opponent and often unintentionally crushing them with its size.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-eevee/ Gigantamax Eevee | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

The partner Eevee is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves {{m|Bouncy Bubble}}, {{m|Buzzy Buzz}}, {{m|Sizzly Slide}}, {{m|Glitzy Glow}}, {{m|Baddy Bad}}, {{m|Sappy Seed}}, {{m|Freezy Frost}}, and {{m|Sparkly Swirl}}, as well as the partner power {{m|Veevee Volley}}.

Gigantamax Eevee is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Cuddle}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Eevee gender difference anime.png|thumb|250px|Male and female Eevee in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[May's Eevee]]=====
In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', {{an|May}} received an {{pkmn|Egg}} from a [[Day-Care Couple]]. That Egg hatched into an Eevee in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]''. Eevee eventually evolved into a {{p|Glaceon}} before May met back up with {{ashfr|the group}} in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

=====[[Serena's Eevee]]=====
{{an|Serena}} {{pkmn2|caught}} an Eevee in ''[[XY089|A Frolicking Find in the Flowers!]]''. She later evolved into a {{p|Sylveon}} in ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]''.

=====[[Sandy]]=====
A male {{pkmn2|wild}} Eevee first appeared in a series of shorts titled [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]]. The {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 1|first episode}} debuted after ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]''. He made his main series debut in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', where he was caught by {{an|Lana}} and given the [[nickname]] Sandy.

=====[[Gary's Eevee]]=====
In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', {{Gary}} has an Eevee, which defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] in battle. It evolved into an {{p|Umbreon}} sometime before ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]''.

=====[[Sakura's Eevee]]=====
[[Sakura]] owned an Eevee in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''. By the time {{Ash}} and his friends met up with Sakura again in ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', her Eevee had evolved into an {{p|Espeon}}.

=====[[Gladion's Eevee]]=====
{{an|Gladion}}'s Eevee appeared in a flashback in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''. In the present day, it has evolved into an Umbreon.

=====[[Chloe's Eevee]]=====
[[Chloe]] owns a female Eevee, which she caught in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]''. She is the first Pokémon that Chloe caught, as her only previous Pokémon, {{TP|Professor Cerise|Yamper}}, was adopted under [[Professor Cerise|her father]]'s ownership. For unknown reasons, she is incapable of evolving, despite the experiments done to her by [[Pinery]] and her assistants at the [[Eevee Evolution Lab]].

=====Other=====
[[File:May Eevee Egg.png|thumb|220px|Eevee {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
Eevee debuted in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', under the ownership of [[Mikey]], who was hiding it from [[Eevee brothers|his three older brothers]] because they wanted him to evolve it just like they did to their own Eevee. However, when Mikey's Eevee single-handedly defeated {{TRT}}, Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro accepted the fact that Mikey wanted to keep his Eevee just the way it is.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', [[Ursula]] evolved two Eevee into a Flareon and a Vaporeon for the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].

Starting in ''[[BW102|Team Eevee and the Pokémon Rescue Squad!]]'', [[Virgil]]'s female Eevee leads a team that included all of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] at the time. A flashback featured a male Eevee that would evolve into his Umbreon after getting lost with Virgil in a forest and spending the night there.

** Any [[Eeveelution]] other than {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
** Espeon or Umbreon in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, due to the absence of a [[time|day-night cycle]].
** Leafeon or Glaceon in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to the absence of a [[Moss Rock]] and [[Ice Rock]] in either [[region]]s the games are set in.
** Sylveon in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, as it is not present in those games.

==Trivia==
* Eevee's English name is a {{wp|palindrome}}.
** Eevee's English name also contains only two unique characters, less than any other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s English name.
* Eevee was designed by [[Motofumi Fujiwara]].<ref name=EVs/><ref>[https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376 Tweet by AtsukoNishida (@atsuko_nishida).] Posted on October 5, 2016.</ref>
* Eevee has the most [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolutions]], with a total of eight.
* Eevee has the most evolved forms of any Pokémon and is the only Pokémon that has more than three evolved forms.
* The fan-made term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, [[Eeveelution]]s, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], followed by {{TCG|Eeveelution|a TCG Theme Deck}}.
* In early English promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], Eevee was called "Eon", the suffix of all of the evolved forms of Eevee.
* In [[Generation I]], Eevee was the only Pokémon to have a branched evolution.
* Despite Eevee being obtainable before the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, it cannot evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon until after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. This is because [[Twist Mountain]] and [[Pinwheel Forest]] are inaccessible before then.
* Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to [[List of cross-generational evolution families|receive an evolution]] in [[Generation VI]], though many received [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* Four of Eevee's evolved forms evolve through abnormal means in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] ({{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}).
** In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Eevee evolves using the {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Sun Ribbon}} or {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Lunar Ribbon}} with at least 1 star of IQ, a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Mossy Rock}}, or a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Frozen Rock}} into its respective evolved forms.
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolved forms up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee is completely unobtainable. This was changed in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}}, and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving onscreen in the {{pkmn|anime}} until ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the anime.
* As a species, Eevee has appeared in the [[Party|teams]] of the most main characters in the anime, with {{an|May}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Lana}} each owning one.
** This also makes Eevee the only Pokémon species in the anime to have been owned by more than two different main characters.
* Eevee has more [[signature moves]] than any other Pokémon, with a total of eleven.
* Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|receive a gender difference]] after [[Generation IV]].

===Origin===
In the 2018 artbook, ''EVs'', [[Motofumi Fujiwara]] revealed that the idea for Eevee came from [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s request to have a Pokémon that evolves into multiple types. Fujiwara himself designed Eevee as a "blank slate" for its varied evolutions; as such, while Eevee has traits of foxes, dogs, and cats, it is not based on any specific animal. Fujiwara also envisioned Eevee as a creature that could exist "in people's memories"; namely, vague memories of seeing a cat or dog-like creature that players might have experienced in their childhood.<ref name=EVs>(2018) ''EVs''.

'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Lapras has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
[[File:Lapras aging.png|thumb|left|250px|Comparison between Lapras's younger and older appearances]]
Lapras is a {{wp|marine reptile|marine reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has a blue hide with darker blue spots and a cream-colored underside. It has large brown eyes, a short horn on its forehead, and tightly curled ears. It has a long neck and four flippers. The foremost flippers are larger than the hind. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs.

Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water. In the past, its docility made it an easy target for hunters, and it was driven to near-extinction. Recent protection efforts have seen Lapras become overabundant instead, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it is able to understand human speech. Lapras have [[EP113|been known]] to travel in large pods across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|the seas}}, spanning both polar and tropical areas. To keep in touch with other of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. In [[Holiday Hi-Jynx|the anime]] it was shown that Lapras is able to develop psychic abilities such as telepathy.

As Gigantamax Lapras, it becomes larger in size and more armored. Its shell resembles a cruise ship or ocarina with four gray and red stripes surrounding it, and it has four spikes on top of its shell with one steel spike resembling a funnel, which has three red clouds surrounding it. The sclera in Lapras' eyes change colors to white, yellow, and blue. A light blue ring of fine thin lines resembling a musical sheet created from ice particles circles around its shell.

5,000 people can ride on the shell of Gigantamax Lapras for a very comfortable ride without any issues. Lapras can use its giant ring to break any icebergs that may prevent it from swimming. According to [[Oleana]], Gigantamax Lapras's shell is not part of its body, as the shell has a logarithmic spiral structure.<ref>''[[TW05|Assistant]]'' — [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]</ref>

Gigantamax Lapras is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Resonance}}.

The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{adv|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[GS Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time. The child Lapras first appeared in ''[[PS143|Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa]]'' and the parents appeared in ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]''.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. During the player's exploration of Brine Cave, the partner's Relic Fragment resonates with a painting in the deepest part of the cave, and this summons Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Lapras runs the [[Lapras Travel Liner]], which allows the player to visit other continents in the [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|world]]. After the completion of the main story arc, Lapras will be recruitable after the player has established 100 connections.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness", a reference to the {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}}.
* Lapras's appearance has had minor alterations during the early years of the franchise. In the documents for the [[Capsule Monsters]] pitch, Lapras was drawn without its curly ears. Furthermore, it was depicted with teeth in its [[Generation I]] official artwork and in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

[[File:Photo Spot Azure Bay.png|thumb|200px|Riding on Lapras in [[Azure Bay]]]]
* Lapras has the [[List of Pokémon by base stats (Generation VII-present)|highest base]] [[HP]] of all {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
* Lapras is one of two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to use telepathy to speak to humans in a regular episode of the {{pkmn|anime}}. The other is {{p|Ralts}}.
* In [[Generation II]] games, a Lapras icon represents Lapras, {{p|Seel}}, or {{p|Dewgong}} at the [[party]] screen.
* In Generation II games, when any Pokémon except {{p|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Surf}} to travel over [[water tile|bodies of water]], the player appears to be controlling a Lapras. This surfing Lapras shares the same color palette as the player, therefore it is red if the player is {{ga|Ethan|male}} ([[File:GSC Surf M.png]]) or blue if the player is {{ga|Kris|female}} ([[File:C Surf F.png]]).
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Lapras has a unique 3D model when {{m|surf}}ing, whereas all other surfing Pokémon are depicted as dark blobs. This may be an homage to the [[Generation II]] surfing sprites, or Lapras's role as a means of transport.
** A Shiny Lapras uses the same 3D model as a regular one while surfing.
** In [[Photography#Pokémon X and Y|photos]] taken at [[Azure Bay]], the {{player}} is seen riding a Lapras even if no Lapras is in the party.
* Lapras can learn the most [[one-hit knockout move]]s of any Pokémon (excluding {{p|Smeargle}}), being able to learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Horn Drill}}.
* The company logos for [[Poké Job|Surf Shipping and Lapras Shipwrights]] depict Lapras.

===Origin===
Lapras is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}.{{fact}} The creature and this Pokémon resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as {{wp|Plesiosauria}}, who lived between the {{wp|Triassic}} and {{wp|Cretaceous}} periods. Lapras's shell and horn may be inspired by {{wp|Placodontia|placodonts}} (close relatives of plesiosaurs that lived during the Triassic period). Its intelligence, singing, and rarity can be comparable to some {{wp|cetacea}}ns, especially {{wp|blue whale}}s and {{wp|humpback whale}}s. Its long neck and robust body may also be inspired by the mastheads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships.

Gigantamax Lapras may be based on a {{wp|cruise ship}} or possibly a {{wp|music box}} or {{wp|ocarina}}.

====Name origin====
Lapras may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides. Alternatively, Laplace may be derived from ''la place'' (French for seat), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water.

'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Lapras has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
[[File:Lapras aging.png|thumb|left|250px|Comparison between Lapras's younger and older appearances]]
Lapras is a {{wp|marine reptile|marine reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has a blue hide with darker blue spots and a cream-colored underside. It has large brown eyes, a short horn on its forehead, and tightly curled ears. It has a long neck and four flippers. The foremost flippers are larger than the hind. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs.

Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water. In the past, its docility made it an easy target for hunters, and it was driven to near-extinction. Recent protection efforts have seen Lapras become overabundant instead, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it is able to understand human speech. Lapras have [[EP113|been known]] to travel in large pods across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|the seas}}, spanning both polar and tropical areas. To keep in touch with other of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. In [[Holiday Hi-Jynx|the anime]] it was shown that Lapras is able to develop psychic abilities such as telepathy.

As Gigantamax Lapras, it becomes larger in size and more armored. Its shell resembles a cruise ship or ocarina with four gray and red stripes surrounding it, and it has four spikes on top of its shell with one steel spike resembling a funnel, which has three red clouds surrounding it. The sclera in Lapras' eyes change colors to white, yellow, and blue. A light blue ring of fine thin lines resembling a musical sheet created from ice particles circles around its shell.

5,000 people can ride on the shell of Gigantamax Lapras for a very comfortable ride without any issues. Lapras can use its giant ring to break any icebergs that may prevent it from swimming. According to [[Oleana]], Gigantamax Lapras's shell is not part of its body, as the shell has a logarithmic spiral structure.<ref>''[[TW05|Assistant]]'' — [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]</ref>

Gigantamax Lapras is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Resonance}}.

In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', Ash and his friends met [[Naomi]], a marine biologist and Lapras expert, near [[New Bark Town]].

It is not known if it was {{pkmn2|released}} in this [[canon]] or not.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
A Lapras appeared in ''[[PPPB01|Horsea's Necklace]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
In a flashback in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]'', {{adv|Blue}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} Lapras and gave it to [[Evan]], at around the same time as {{adv|Red}}'s first fight with {{adv|Giovanni}}.

{{spoilers}}
The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{adv|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[GS Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time. The child Lapras first appeared in ''[[PS143|Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa]]'' and the parents appeared in ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]''.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. During the player's exploration of Brine Cave, the partner's Relic Fragment resonates with a painting in the deepest part of the cave, and this summons Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Lapras runs the [[Lapras Travel Liner]], which allows the player to visit other continents in the [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|world]]. After the completion of the main story arc, Lapras will be recruitable after the player has established 100 connections.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness", a reference to the {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}}.
* Lapras's appearance has had minor alterations during the early years of the franchise. In the documents for the [[Capsule Monsters]] pitch, Lapras was drawn without its curly ears. Furthermore, it was depicted with teeth in its [[Generation I]] official artwork and in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

[[File:Photo Spot Azure Bay.png|thumb|200px|Riding on Lapras in [[Azure Bay]]]]
* Lapras has the [[List of Pokémon by base stats (Generation VII-present)|highest base]] [[HP]] of all {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
* Lapras is one of two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to use telepathy to speak to humans in a regular episode of the {{pkmn|anime}}. The other is {{p|Ralts}}.
* In [[Generation II]] games, a Lapras icon represents Lapras, {{p|Seel}}, or {{p|Dewgong}} at the [[party]] screen.
* In Generation II games, when any Pokémon except {{p|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Surf}} to travel over [[water tile|bodies of water]], the player appears to be controlling a Lapras. This surfing Lapras shares the same color palette as the player, therefore it is red if the player is {{ga|Ethan|male}} ([[File:GSC Surf M.png]]) or blue if the player is {{ga|Kris|female}} ([[File:C Surf F.png]]).
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Lapras has a unique 3D model when {{m|surf}}ing, whereas all other surfing Pokémon are depicted as dark blobs. This may be an homage to the [[Generation II]] surfing sprites, or Lapras's role as a means of transport.
** A Shiny Lapras uses the same 3D model as a regular one while surfing.
** In [[Photography#Pokémon X and Y|photos]] taken at [[Azure Bay]], the {{player}} is seen riding a Lapras even if no Lapras is in the party.
* Lapras can learn the most [[one-hit knockout move]]s of any Pokémon (excluding {{p|Smeargle}}), being able to learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Horn Drill}}.
* The company logos for [[Poké Job|Surf Shipping and Lapras Shipwrights]] depict Lapras.

===Origin===
Lapras is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}.{{fact}} The creature and this Pokémon resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as {{wp|Plesiosauria}}, who lived between the {{wp|Triassic}} and {{wp|Cretaceous}} periods. Lapras's shell and horn may be inspired by {{wp|Placodontia|placodonts}} (close relatives of plesiosaurs that lived during the Triassic period). Its intelligence, singing, and rarity can be comparable to some {{wp|cetacea}}ns, especially {{wp|blue whale}}s and {{wp|humpback whale}}s. Its long neck and robust body may also be inspired by the mastheads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships.

Gigantamax Lapras may be based on a {{wp|cruise ship}} or possibly a {{wp|music box}} or {{wp|ocarina}}.

====Name origin====
Lapras may be derived from ''Laplace''.

Laplace may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides. Alternatively, Laplace may be derived from ''la place'' (French for seat), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water.

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}}, or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]] ([[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]). It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

Gengar has two other forms.
* It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gengar''' using the [[Gengarite]].
* It has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
[[File:Gengar floating anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Gengar floating in the air]]
Gengar is a dark purple, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a roundish body. It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears. On its back are numerous spikes and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.

Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}. Its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F (5°C), because it absorbs the warmth. [[EP023|The anime]] has shown that Gengar can fly, [[SM073|possess people]] and other Pokémon, and [[EP181|extend its tongue]] by several meters. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Night Shade}} was its [[signature move]].
[[File:Gengar in shadow.png|thumb|250px|Gengar in {{Ash}}'s shadow]]

Gengar is very mischievous, and at times, malicious. It enjoys playing practical jokes and casting curses, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar has been known to be loyal to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who treats it well. Being the result of an evolution via [[Trade|trading]], Gengar is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and dark places where shadows form. It is especially fond of urban areas such as cities and back alleys, but only during the night.

As Mega Gengar, a portion of its body sinks into the ground and its arms and tail lengthen. The lower portions turn a more reddish-purple, and a third eye appears on its forehead. This new unblinking eye is oval, yellow, and allows it to see into other dimensions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref> The spikes on Mega Gengar's back are more numerous and pointed, and additional spikes appear on its hands and tail. Its ears are now considerably longer and tilt backward.

Mega Gengar has the ability to access other dimensions and has a vicious nature. Mega Gengar has no interest in opponents unless perceived as prey. Its relationships are warped due to [[Mega Evolution]]. It now desires to take and curse the life of anyone or anything in its path; it may even curse its own Trainer. Mega Gengar sinks into another dimension to wait for a chance to attack.

As Gigantamax Gengar, it becomes larger, with portions of its body sinking into the ground, and only the head, tail, and arms remain. Its body changes from dark-purple to light-purple and its eyes become white with yellow sclera. The inside of its mouth changes to resemble a tunnel with a long purple tongue sticking out. Three red clouds surround the top of Gengar's head.

Gigantamax Gengar's mouth is rumored to not lead into its body. Due to the cursed energy, it is believed to instead lead into the afterlife. By laying a trap, it attempts to steal the lives of those it captures. Should someone stand near its mouth, they can hear the voices of their loved ones calling out to them.

Gigantamax Gengar is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Terror}}.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', it joined the rest of [[Alola]] in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball}}: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three {{p|Gastly}} and the pair of {{p|Haunter}}, a Gengar then appears and must be defeated to win.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming them for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human. After Rayquaza destroys the star heading for the world, Gengar will post a request, asking to visit Ninetales in the hopes of bringing back Gardevoir. While she is rescued, she has no recollection of her times with her trainer, but Gengar is still satisfied to see her safe and leaves.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Gengar appears as a recruitable character and asks the player to deliver a letter to {{p|Banette}}. As he is connected to [[Team Charm]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}, it is implied that he is the same aforementioned Gengar from Red and Blue Rescue Team, and that Team Charm's Gardevoir is the same one.

==Trivia==

[[File:094Gengar-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|175px|Promotional artwork of a {{Shiny}} [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar's prototype name was "Phantom". This is similar to Gengar's Korean name, which is 팬텀 ''Phantom''.
* Gengar is [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=NintendoInt>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref>
* Despite all of them being {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, Gengar and its [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]] were not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up prior to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* Gengar is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a [[Pokémon battle]] both in the {{pkmn|anime}} and in the {{pkmn|games}}, the other being {{p|Nidorino}}. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, on which the beginning of [[EP001|the first anime episode]] was based on, as well as the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]].
* Gengar, along with Nidorino (and possibly other Pokémon), originate from the [[Capsule Monsters]] game design pitch, which would eventually become the [[Pokémon]] series.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Gengar is the only Pokémon with the Ability Levitate that is not eligible for [[Sky Battle]]s.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Gengar and its pre-evolved forms.
* Mega Gengar has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* When viewing Mega Gengar's [[Pokédex]] entry, the camera's view can only be moved sideways.
* Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, require trading to reach their final stage of evolution, and are capable of Mega Evolution. They are the same height, and both get shorter upon Mega Evolution. They share a base friendship of 70 and, since Generation VI, a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to the other's [[STAB]], and they share weaknesses to the {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}} types. In the anime episode ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a Gengar and an Alakazam are put against each other.
** Gengar could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are, like Alakazam, the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, can both be obtained through evolution induced by trade, and are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing in [[Generation VIII]]. Both Gengar and Machamp also share a base friendship of 70. While both are weak against {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as Gengar is part {{type|Poison}} and Machamp is a {{type|Fighting}}, Gengar can counter it with its {{t|Ghost}} typing.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Team Meanies|Gengar]] knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation. These are the exact same moves {{p|Absol}} has when joining the player's team during this point in the main story. It's likely the data was unintentionally copied over, as escort Pokémon are uniquely coded from normal Pokémon. In the Rescue Team remake, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], Gengar's moves were changed to {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.
* Gengar's identity as a former human, as described by the Pokédex in Generation VII, may have been inspired by its portrayal in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], which was released 11 years before {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In the [[core series]] games, Mega Gengar has small feet that can be seen by recalling it and sending it out, a glitch in [[Pokémon Go]] also allows Mega Gengar's feet to be seen. In [[Pokkén Tournament]], however, Mega Gengar does not have feet. Instead, a portal appears beneath it whenever it is airborne. Its tail will disappear as well.
* When Gengar [[Gigantamax]]es, it doesn't grow on screen. Instead, it pops out of the ground.
* Gengar is the only Pokémon capable of Gigantamax and Mega Evolution that is not a [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]].
* Gigantamax Gengar and its {{Shiny}} form were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1282081394940801025 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 11, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1283183146972745728 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 14, 2020.</ref>
*In [[Generation VI]], due to a [[glitch]], on the first turn of becoming Mega Gengar, it can still be affected by {{m|Telekinesis}}.

===Origin===

Gengar seems to be based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, {{wp|cat}}s, or the {{wp|Cheshire Cat}}, and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being as well, like {{wp|Shadow person|shadow people}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar and Gangar may be derived from ''{{wp|Doppelgänger}}'' (ghostly double of a living person). It may also involve 幻 ''gen'' (phantasm).
