'''Marine Cave''' (Japanese: '''うみのどうくつ''' ''Marine Cave'') is an underwater cave in [[Hoenn]].

Unlike most other locations, the location of Marine Cave is not set at all, and can be determined by speaking with a man at Hoenn's [[Weather Institute]], who will explain that one of four [[route]]s is under abnormal weather conditions. It only appears in [[Pokémon Emerald]]. If the player does not reach Marine Cave fast enough, it will temporarily disappear and Terra Cave will appear. However, once {{p|Groudon}} is battled/caught in Terra Cave, or the player did not arrive there fast enough, Marine Cave will reappear and relocate. It appears only on [[water route]]s. In {{game|Emerald}}, it is the only place where {{p|Kyogre}} can be caught. It will only appear once the Hoenn [[Elite Four]] have been defeated, and disappear completely after Kyogre has been either captured or defeated.

Its counterpart is [[Terra Cave]], and neither appears at the same time: the {{player}} must defeat or capture one [[legendary Pokémon]] before the other cave will appear.

Shiny Pokémon

2009-10-14T18:07:13Z

Zellfaze: /* Generation II */ Made Odd Egg a link to article by same name.

[[Image:Shiny charizard from (pokemon pokedex colecters edition).JPG|300px|thumb|right|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shining Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]].]]

A '''shiny Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''differently colored'' or '''光る''' ''shining'') is a specific Pokémon with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. The term "shiny Pokémon" refers to the sparkling sound effect made at the start of an encounter with one in the games.

Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as {{p|Froslass}}, having their shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference. An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar alternate colorations, even if their standard colorations remain consistent; both {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have orange flames, but an alternate colored Ponyta has blue flames, while an alternate colored Rapidash has gray flames.

Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to [[form differences|the difference]] between {{p|Unown}} or {{p|Spinda}}.

Also, if a Pokémon is first encountered with an alternate color, then the Pokédex will have the normal counterpart's color.

==In the games==
In the [[version|main series]], shiny Pokémon were first introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} and was required for {{game|Crystal}}.
{| align="left"

| [[Image:Shinystar.gif|left]]
|}
When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect. In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's cry, while in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, it occurs afterward. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars beside its gender and in Generations III and IV as a large star near its picture. In Generation III, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored gold instead of black, and in Generation IV, the number will be colored red.

===Pokémon Stadium===
In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, whether or not they are actually shiny. This seems to have been removed from later games. In the Ekans Hoop Hurl game in the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)#Kids' Club|Kid's Club]], there are golden Diglett that are worth extra points.

===Generation II===
[[File:Red Gyarados.jpg|frame|A Red Gyarados.]]
[[Image:130.png|thumb|left|Regular {{p|Gyarados}}.]]
[[Image:130 s.png|thumb|left|Red Gyarados.]]
In Generation II, shininess is determined by the [[individual values]] (IVs) of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its shininess. Despite the bonus of backward compatibility allowing for a shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.

Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is approximately 1/8192. However, if one breeds a shiny Pokémon properly, the offspring may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being shiny, depending on the species of Pokémon.

Shininess is inherent to an individual Pokémon; that is, a Pokémon that starts out shiny will always be shiny, and one that is not will never be (provided its data is unaltered). Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its shiny status. A shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon; however, there is a [[Personality value|difference]] in the determination between Generation {{gen|II}} and Generations {{gen|III}} to {{gen|IV}}.

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the plot of the Generation II games and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|their remakes|s}}. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an [[Exp. Share]]. The red Gyarados is the only wild Pokémon in the games that will be shiny without fail.

The Pokémon that hatches from the [[Odd Egg]] in Crystal has a 50% chance of the result being shiny.

===Generations III and IV===
In [[Generation III]], most of the [[Template:data structure|data structure]]s were redone. As such, a Pokémon's shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the previous generations. The determinant for shininess is instead a calculation based on the [[Trainer ID number]] of the player encountering it and the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value]] of the Pokémon. The same method is used in [[Generation IV]].

The secret ID and Trainer ID bytewords are first xored together, and then the first byteword of the personality value is xored with the second byteword of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny. This results in a [[Personality value#Shininess|probability]] of 8 in 65536; simplified as 1/8192 (2-13, or approximately 0.012207%), just as in Generation II. Symbolically:

(Trainer ID) '''xor''' (Secret ID) = E

(First byteword of personality value) '''xor''' (Second byteword of personality value) = F

If E '''xor''' F is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny.

In the [[Trainer Tower]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} there are three Trainers which have shiny Pokémon. In the single battle mode, the seventh Trainer has a shiny {{p|Meowth}}, while in [[double battle]] mode, the first pair of Trainers have a shiny {{p|Espeon}}. In another series of battles, a Trainer will send out a shiny {{p|Seaking}}.

In Generation IV, some Pokémon, such as Mystery Gifts and Ranger Manaphy, can't be shiny due to the game's code. However, the Ranger Manaphy's shininess won't be altered by the game if traded to a second cartridge as an {{pkmn|egg}} (changing the ID and SID). There are other methods which make obtaining alternately colored Pokémon a little bit easier: the [[Masuda method]] and the [[PokéRadar]] slightly raise the probabilities of hatching Pokémon from eggs and catching Pokémon from the wild, respectively.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|right|thumb|A regular {{p|Kecleon}} with a purple Kecleon.]]
It is sometimes thought that the TM Merchant in the first [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is a shiny Pokémon. It is a Kecleon, and although Kecleon are normally green, it is actually purple, including its sprite. However, though it is alternate-colored (like the Kecleon in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''), it is not shiny (shiny Kecleon have a blue stripe instead of a red stripe) and is more likely a different color due to its {{a|Color Change}} ability. It says that it was so excited about [[Wonder Orbs|Orbs]] that it turned rosy-colored.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], a [[Celebi (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|shiny Celebi]] appears, although shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game. Some argue that due to an altered timeline, this particular Celebi is shiny. Others argue that this one has feelings for a [[Grovyle (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|male Pokémon]]. It is shown when the player talks with Celebi at the relay point in the [[Deep Dusk Forest]], where Celebi blushes when trying to deny her feelings for Grovyle. Therefore, the shiny coloring (pink) further emphasizes that this particular Celebi is inherently female. Grovyle also refers to this Celebi as 'she' and 'her'. Also, {{p|Dialga}} appears in different coloration. Like the purple Kecleon, this Dialga is not shiny. Unlike Kecleon, however, this is caused by a collapsing [[Temporal Tower]], resulting in complete loss of self-control, which earns it the name of "[[Primal Dialga]]." After defeating it the first time, the effect is gone, and Primal Dialga becomes a normal Dialga.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games]] for [[WiiWare]], shiny Pokémon can be found in dungeons. Unlike the [[main series]], only 36 different species of shiny Pokémon are obtainable. The chances of finding one in a dungeon is the same chances as finding one in the wild in the main series. Unlike shiny Pokémon in the past, however, the shiny Pokémon found in these games have an added bonus: their Hunger stat is 200 as opposed to the 100 of normal Pokémon. A [[Red Gyarados]] can also be obtained at Level 30 via Wondermail password as a reference to the one found in the Johto-based games.

===Super Smash Bros.===
In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Lucario}} each have several different colorations exclusive to the series. One of {{p|Pikachu}}'s alternate colorations is its shiny form wearing {{ga|Red}}'s hat, and one of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s is its shiny form wearing a straw hat; however, all other playable Pokémon in the series, except Mewtwo, do not have their actual shiny form as an alternate coloration.

==In the TCG==
Alternate colored Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. {{TCG|Stormfront|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} includes three cards with alternate coloration artwork and a reverse holo effect, but are not classified as rare cards. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards do not play significantly differently from their normal coloration counterparts, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into Stage 1 Pokémon, or from normal basic Pokémon.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
{{main|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime}}
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}, this may be due to Kecleon's {{a|Color Change}} ability however, similarly to the case in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.

The first Pokémon with an alternate coloration that was seen was also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to appear, a {{an|Ho-Oh}} in [[EP001|the first episode]]. However it is possible that it may not have been intended to be an alternate coloration, as Ho-Oh may not have been fully designed by the episode's release and may have simply been colored after the version it represents, {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}}. However since alternate coloration was also not yet an explored concept, however, most do not consider this to be a shiny Pokémon either. A blue {{p|Breloom}} and a light-blue {{p|Marill}} also appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', which aren't the official alternate colors for those Pokémon, and are possibly coloring errors.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the mainland. For example, a Butterfree would have gold wings with red spots on them instead of just being white.

The first true shiny Pokémon that appeared, however, was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other shiny Pokémon have appeared later as well.

==Trivia==
*Ash's Noctowl is the only Pokémon in the anime to display the trademark sparkles when released from its Poké Ball. Subsequently seen shiny Pokémon do not have this effect. Also, as of the Diamond and Pearl series, all Pokémon show an extra sparkle effect when released.
**[[Pikachu-colored Pichu]], however, displays an sparkle effect almost identical to that one in the games for shiny Pokémon.

The sun & moon shards are NOT related to the sun & moon stones. They are simply used as an alternative to the happiness method, allowing the player to select either Umbreon or Espeon WITHOUT ending up with the evolution opposite of what they want because it is too happy at the wrong time of day.

In Emerald, does the Everstone have any effect other than preventing evolution?

But maybe it's just a coincidence, and the berries not growing is unrelated... --[[User:Waterboy|Waterboy]] 20:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

:No, in Emerald the only thing it does is stop evolution and if you give it to a Pokemon in the breeding center, it has a 50% chance of passing down the holder's nature to the baby.

"Trivia

The second quoted section seems to imply that the Dawn Stone was introduced in Generation III. I personally think that some form of clarification should be added to make sure people realize that the Dawn Stone was not added until Generation IV, but simply only works on Pokémon added in Generation III.

Evolution stone

2009-10-12T21:51:23Z

Zellfaze: /* Image:MoonStoneSprite.png Moon Stone */ Fixed mismatched Tense (aka a grammer mistake)

An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') refers to any of eleven [[item]]s with mysterious properties that radiate energy that cause some [[Pokémon]] to [[Evolution|evolve]]. The exception to this is the Everstone, which radiates energy to dampen evolutionary energy and prevent evolution in the holder.

Evolutionary stones may be used at any time and cause instant evolution which cannot be canceled. With the exception of the Oval Stone and the Everstone, all evolutionary stones must be applied directly to the Pokémon, rather than being made to hold them.

Many Pokémon which evolve by use of a stone no longer learn new moves by leveling up, or have a radically different level-up learnset.

===[[Image:MoonStoneSprite.png]] Moon Stone===
[[Image:Moonstone.png|thumb|right|Seymour holding a Moon Stone]]
This is one of five stones which can never be bought at stores. It can be found in a few locations in the wild and [[the Underground|underground]] in [[Sinnoh]]. In [[Generation II]], one can be found in [[Tohjo Falls]], plus one on each {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[night]] in [[Mt. Moon]]'s relaxation square by using {{m|Rock Smash}} on the rock that the {{p|Clefairy}} danced around. Also, the player's mother will give one to the player through the PC after she has saved up a certain amount of money. There is also a small chance of stealing one off of a wild {{p|Lunatone}} or {{p|Clefairy}} in Generations {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} by catching them or with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

It is related with the moon. Most Pokémon that evolve with the Moon Stone have some connection to it. It was once depicted as grey in color, but it is now depicted as being dark as the night sky. It also sparkles.

Pokémon that evolve using this item have a higher probability of capture with the [[Moon Ball]].

====Evolves====
* {{p|Nidorina}} → {{p|Nidoqueen}}
* {{p|Nidorino}} → {{p|Nidoking}}
* {{p|Clefairy}} → {{p|Clefable}}
* {{p|Jigglypuff}} → {{p|Wigglytuff}}
* {{p|Skitty}} → {{p|Delcatty}}

====In the anime====
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|right|The larger Moon Stone]]
The Moon Stone is the first of the evolutionary stones to appear in the anime, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In this episode, many {{p|Clefairy}} were collecting them from all around [[Mt. Moon]] and bringing them before a larger Moon Stone. After an altercation with Team Rocket, this large Moon Stone exploded, raining shards down on the Clefairy, who, exposed to its radiation, evolved into {{p|Clefable}}. It seemed to be partially restored by the end of the episode, however. It's also implied that the large Moon Stone that was destroyed was the same Moon Stone that transported the Clefairy down to Earth.

====Moon Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Moon Stone called the Moon Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Umbreon}}

====In other languages====
* Dutch: Maansteen
* Italian: Pietralunare

===[[Image:SunStoneSprite.png]] Sun Stone===
[[Image:Sunstone.png|thumb|right|Ash holding his Sun Stone]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is one of the five stones which can never be bought in stores. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} it is the first prize at the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a man in [[Mossdeep City]] will give one away. There is also a very small chance of stealing one off of wild {{p|Solrock}} with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} one can be found in [[Ruin Valley]] on [[Fortune Island]]. In [[Sinnoh]] it, like the other stones released before [[Generation IV|the fourth generation of games]], can be found [[the Underground|underground]], but there is one hidden near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] as well.

The stone itself - being orange and spherical, with spikes round the circumference - and the Pokémon which it causes to evolve, not only look like the sun, but have a sort of mystical connection with it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Gloom}} → {{p|Bellossom}}
* {{p|Sunkern}} → {{p|Sunflora}}

====In the anime====
Ash managed to win a Sun Stone as first prize in a bug-catching competition in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later used this Sun Stone to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

====Sun Shard====
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there is a key item that may be related to the Sun Stone called the Sun Shard. It is used only for {{p|Eevee}}.
* {{p|Eevee}} → {{p|Espeon}}

====In other languages====
* Italian: Pietrasolare

===[[Image:ShinyStoneSprite.png]] Shiny Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found on [[Iron Island]], and another on [[Route 228]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with radiant energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone have a connection to the day and light. It has a brilliant white glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Togetic}} → {{p|Togekiss}}
* {{p|Roselia}} → {{p|Roserade}}

====In other languages====
* Italian: Pietrabrillo

===[[Image:DuskStoneSprite.png]] Dusk Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in the [[Galactic Warehouse]], and another in an area of {{si|Victory Road}} that can only be accessed after the defeat of the [[Elite Four]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Wayward Cave]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a dark energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dusk Stone have a connection to the night and darkness. It has an unusual dark purple glow to it.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Murkrow}} → {{p|Honchkrow}}
* {{p|Misdreavus}} → {{p|Mismagius}}

====In the Anime====
*The Dusk Stone will debut in [[DP148]].

====In other languages====
* Italian: Neropietra

===[[Image:DawnStoneSprite.png]]Dawn Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]]. One can be found in [[Mt. Coronet]] and another can be found on [[Route 225]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, one more can be found hidden in [[Route 212]]. They are also readily available with the {{a|Pickup}} ability, or can be [[Mystery Gift]]ed from [[Pokétopia]] for 7200 [[Poké Coupon|Poké Coupons]].

It is imbued with a mysterious energy. Pokémon that evolve with the Dawn Stone must be of a specific gender. It is a turquoise color with a starburst pattern onto it and it is said to sparkle like eyes.

====Evolves====
* {{p|Kirlia}} ♂ → {{p|Gallade}}
* {{p|Snorunt}} ♀ → {{p|Froslass}}

====In other languages====
* Italian: Pietralbore

===[[Image:OvalStoneSprite.png]] Oval Stone===
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation IV]].

An Oval Stone can be found in the Lost Tower. More can be found [[the Underground|underground]] and there is a good (50%) chance it can be held by a wild {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Unlike other stones, it is not used on the Pokémon to evolve it, but instead held by it. It can be selected to be used like the other stones, however, it has no effect on any Pokémon.

It seems like an ordinary rock, but it is shaped like an egg.
====Evolves====
* {{p|Happiny}} → {{p|Chansey}} (level up when [[held item|held]] during the day)

====In other languages====
* Italian: Pietraovale

===[[Image:Everstone.png]] Everstone===
[[File:Everstone anime.png|Dawn's Everstone|thumb]]
This stone was first introduced in [[Generation II]].

An Everstone is unlike any of the other stones, as when a Pokémon holds it, they will ''not'' evolve for whatever reason. Furthermore, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its [[nature]] to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. These can be found [[The Underground|underground]] or held by wild {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Graveler}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. An Everstone can also be found in [[Granite Cave]] in [[Hoenn]].

Everstones can be used to prevent evolution until a more optimum time, especially when a Pokémon evolves through [[happiness]]. For example: a player that caught a {{p|Munchlax}} wants to keep it unevolved until it learns a [[move]] that it can't learn as a {{p|Snorlax}}. Even after the Munchlax reaches maximum happiness while holding an Everstone, it will not evolve until the everstone is taken away before it's next [[level]]. By the same token, a player wishing an {{p|Eevee}} to be an {{p|Umbreon}} can give it an everstone and level it during the day, without the concern that it will accidently evolve into {{p|Espeon}}. Players could also level an Eevee on the way to [[Eterna Forest]] or [[Route 217]] with an everstone, and ensure they only evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It looks like an ordinary dull grey rock.

====In the anime====
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] to permanently prevent it from evolving.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
In the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon shape inscription that boost Pokémon's power immensely, in the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] search for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{Special|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{Special|Blue}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. Red's [[Poli]] evolves in a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of the Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime]]
The first appearance of evolutionary stones in the anime was that of the Moon Stone in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After a rather large Moon Stone was blown up, its pieces rained down and caused several of the {{p|Clefairy}} gathered around to evolve.

A second appearance in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'' introduced the Thunderstone, as well as the first opportunity for one of the main characters' Pokémon to evolve via stone. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] refused the offer to evolve, knocking away the Thunderstone.

All of the evolutionary stones introduced in [[Generation I]] appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where two of the [[Eevee brothers]] offered a Thunderstone and a [[Fire Stone]] to Ash and Brock so that they could evolve their Pikachu and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. Both Ash and Brock declined.

A Leaf Stone appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''.

Another Leaf Stone appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash wins a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. He later uses it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Ludicolo|Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone, although it is possible that [[James's Victreebel|James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[James's second Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can use the Fire Stone and Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can use the Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can use the Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] that had not introduced a new evolutionary stone.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved using an evolutionary stone who doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution. All other Pokémon to have evolved by using an evolutionary stone learn at least one move by level-up that their pre-evolution also learned by level-up.

Save data structure (Generation IV)

2009-10-12T00:35:47Z

Zellfaze: /* Item placeholders */ Fixed two spelling mistakes

{{Incomplete}}

The '''save data structure in the Nintendo DS''' is stored as a .SAV file, which is broken up into two pairs of blocks. Each pair has one small block, and one big block. The offsets for {{v2|Platinum}} are different from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.

In Diamond and Pearl, the first small block starts at 0x00000 and ends at 0x0C0FF, the first big block starts at 0x0C100 and ends at 0x1E2DF. In Platinum, the first small block starts at 0x00000 and ends at 0x0CF2B, the first big block starts at 0x0CF2C and ends at 0x1F10F. The second pair of blocks are at the same address plus 0x40000 for all the three games.

One block pair is always a backup of the other block pair.

== Small block ==
The small block has the following data:
{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse;"
|- style="background: #ccc;" align="center"
! Offset
! Contents
|- style="background: #eee;" align="center"
| 0x00630 - 0x008C3
| Items placeholder
|- style="background: #ddd;" align="center"
| 0x008C4 - 0x0098B
| Key Items placeholder
|- style="background: #eee;" align="center"
| 0x0098C - 0x00B4B
| TMs & HMs placeholder
|- style="background: #ddd;" align="center"

| Medicines placeholder
|- style="background: #eee;" align="center"
| 0x00BDC - 0x00CEB
| Berries placeholder
|- style="background: #ddd;" align="center"
| 0x00CEC - 0x00D27

| 0x00D5C - 0x00D8B
| Mail placeholder
|- style="background: #eee;" align="center"
| 0x0CF18 - 0x0CF2B
| Footer
|}

=== Item placeholders ===
In these placeholders, each item takes 4 bytes with the following structure:
{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse;"
|- style="background: #ccc;" align="center"
! Offset
! Contents
|- style="background: #eee;" align="center"
| 0x00 - 0x01
| Item ID
|- style="background: #ddd;" align="center"
| 0x02 - 0x03
| Item amount
|}
Each item has an unique ID to get identified. See the [[list of items by index number (DS)|list of items by index number for the DS]] for these IDs.

== Footer ==
The last 0x14 bytes of each block (small and big) are used as a footer. It has the following structure:
{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse;"
|- style="background: #ccc;" align="center"
! Offset
! Contents
|- style="background: #eee;" align="center"
| 0x00 - 0x03
| Used to connect a small block with a big block
|- style="background: #ddd;" align="center"
| 0x04 - 0x07
| Number of the save
|- style="background: #eee;" align="center"
| 0x08 - 0x0B
| Size of the block
|- style="background: #ddd;" align="center"
| 0x0C - 0x0F
| K
|- style="background: #eee;" align="center"
| 0x10 - 0x11
| T
|- style="background: #ddd;" align="center"
| 0x12 - 0x13
| Checksum of the block
|}

=== Checksum ===
The game uses a {{wp|Cyclic redundancy check|CRC-16-CCITT}} algorithm for the checksums. These checksums are calculated from a whole block without taking the footer.

=== Example ===
SMALL BLOCK 1
D1 01 00 00 | 42 04 00 00 | 00 C1 00 00 | 23 06 06 20 | 00 00 | 7E 7A

BIG BLOCK 1
D0 01 00 00 | F1 02 00 00 | E0 21 01 00 | 23 06 06 20 | 01 00 | 0D 39

SMALL BLOCK 2
D0 01 00 00 | 41 04 00 00 | 00 C1 00 00 | 23 06 06 20 | 00 00 | 0C 7F

BIG BLOCK 2
D1 01 00 00 | F2 02 00 00 | E0 21 01 00 | 23 06 06 20 | 01 00 | F6 8A

Since the value of {{tt|0x0C0F0 - 0x0C0F3|0x04 - 0x07}} is higher in small block 1 (42 04 00 00 > 41 04 00 00), that is the current small block. Then, by matching the value of {{tt|0x0C0EC - 0x0C0EF|0x00 - 0x03}} (which is D1 01 00 00) to the big block. This means that the current big block is actually big block 2 (assuming the big block's checksum is correct).

Zellfaze: /* Perhaps its obvious... */ new section

== Contact field ==

It's a heavy misnomer in my book. Only one of the flags it can have determines if there's any physical contact. A better name would be the generic "flags". Here's the possible values:
{| style="border: 1px solid #88a; background: #f8f8ff; padding: 0.5em;" cellspacing="1"
|-
| 0x01 || Target may flinch if the attacker has a King's Rock
|-
| 0x02 || Attack is checked for accuracy
|-
| 0x04 || Can be redirected back to the user by target's Snatch
|-
| 0x08 || Can be redirected back to the user by target's Magic Coat
|-
| 0x10 || Is affected by Protect and Detect.
|-
| 0x20 || User makes physical contact with the target
|}
Snatch and Magic Coat are mutually exclusive. --[[User:Kyoufu Kawa|Kyoufu Kawa]] 17:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

== Perhaps its obvious... ==

There is a quite a few of the chunks of data listed in this substructure that do not have a description of how they work. Perhaps how they work is obvious and I am a fool for not getting it, but even if that is the case, it ought to be added for people such as myself.

Specifically I am speaking of the "Effect" field. It contains a byte of data, but how is that data stored? How is it to be interpreted. Also the accuracy section might need some clarification. The examples they give are rather confusing, although I think I understand now. I would edit it to fix the examples, but my understanding is only partial. And I don't wish to edit it and be wrong.

Regardless, this article has a lot of potential. As do all of the data structure articles.
