'''Nando''' (Japanese: '''ナオシ''' ''Naoshi'') is a recurring character from the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a wandering {{wp|minstrel}} who enjoys music and as such always carries his golden harp with him.

==History==
Nando made his debut appearance in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''. At the time, he was confused as to whether he should challenge Gyms or become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]]. Trying to decide between the two, he battled both {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} with his {{p|Budew}}, which evolved into {{p|Roselia}} during his battle with Ash. After the battle, Nando decided to become both a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a Coordinator.

He later appears again in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', where he is falsely accused and arrested due to [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}'s stealing of the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}}.

Nando also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' where he entered the {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, which he won by defeating [[Zoey]].

Nando made a cameo in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' alongside {{si|Kenny}} in [[Marian]]'s news report about Coordinators.
[[File:Nando playing music.png|thumb|left|250px|Nando playing music]]
After a long absence, he appeared again in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'' as a participant in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. He made it past the Appeal Round and quickly reached the Top 4 as seen in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]''. In the said episode, he fought a hard battle against [[Zoey]] with his Lopunny and Kricketune, even impressing [[Fantina]] a lot with their combinations; however, Zoey eventually won the battle. In the same episode, Nando can be seen playing music to the Pokémon around the area. He made a brief appearance in [[DP177|the following episode]] watching Dawn and Zoey compete in the finals and then again after the Grand Festival had finished announcing that he was going to compete in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

He most recently appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it is revealed that he is Ash's first opponent in the [[Sinnoh League]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], with the match occurring in the [[DP183|following episode]]. Despite his Pokémon putting up a good fight, he lost his match against Ash and was eliminated. After the match, he mentioned that he would continue his travels in order to train further before leaving.

Nando had a cameo appearance in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Character==
Nando's character can be easily described as calm and collected. Even in the most tense of situations, such as being arrested for a crime he did not commit, he will always look to the positive side. His favorite pastime is to play his harp for anyone, whether they be human or Pokémon, who will care to listen in hopes of spreading the tranquility he feels inside to others.

Even if Nando encounters a Trainer that has hostility towards him, such as [[Zoey]], he will still treat that Trainer with the utmost respect. As seen in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', Nando likes to be a peace maker, helping Ash and Dawn settle their differences on whether battling or coordinating are better than one another.

==Pokémon==
Nando tends to choose Pokémon with some sort of musical ability which fits his musical battle style. His Pokémon tend to be {{t|Bug}} or {{type|Grass}} and also tend to know sound-based moves. Nando's Pokémon are also known for being able to exhibit both beauty and grace.

This listing is of Nando's known Pokémon that may or may not be on hand:

|vajp=Satsuki Yukino
|vaen=Sarah Natochenny
|desc={{p|Roserade}} appears to be Nando's main Pokémon. It first appeared as a {{p|Budew}} in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]'', where it fought against both Ash and Dawn. It evolved later into {{p|Roselia}} in the same episode. It appeared again in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', where it was revealed that it had defeated [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Turtwig}}. It also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' during the Hearthome Contest.

It helped Nando reach the semi-finals alongside {{p|Sunflora}} and it was revealed in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' that it had evolved into a Roserade.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']] it battled against [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Early in the battle, it was able to overpower Staraptor. However, thanks to a powerful {{m|Brave Bird}}, Staraptor was able to defeat Roserade.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|trainer=Nando
|pkmn=Sunflora
|type1=Grass
|img=Nando Sunflora.png
|epnum=DP036
|epname=A Secret Sphere of Influence!
|desc={{p|Sunflora}} first appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', where it ran off after Nando was accused of stealing the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}}. It proved Nando's innocence by tracking down {{TRT}}, who really stole the orb. It later appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' during the Hearthome City Contest.

It made a brief appearance in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' where it had helped Nando get to the semi-finals alongside Kricketune and Roserade in another battle.

Sunflora's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Cut}}, {{m|GrassWhistle}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|main=yes

|pkmn=Kricketune
|type1=Bug

|epnum=DP049
|epname=Dawn's Early Night!
|vajp=Katsuyuki Konishi
|vaen=Katsuyuki Konishi
|desc={{p|Kricketune}} first appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'', where it was used in the Hearthome City Contest alongside Sunflora in a music-based appeal and Roselia in battles. It later helped Nando win the {{to|Beach Rose}} {{pkmn|Contest}} prior to ''[[DP105|A Breed Stampede!]]''. While Roserade appears to be Nando's main Pokémon, Kricketune has actually appeared more due to Roserade mostly having brief appearances in later episodes.

During the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'', it and Lopunny were used in the semi-finals, where they lost to [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}}.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']], during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], it faced [[Ash's Heracross]] as Nando's last Pokémon, and eventually lost the match.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|type2=Flying
|img=Nando Altaria.png
|epnum=DP174
|epname=Last Call, First Round!
|desc={{p|Altaria}} is one of Nando's recently revealed Pokémon. It first appeared in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', where it was used in Nando's appeal in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]] alongside his Kricketot.

Altaria's only known move is {{m|Perish Song}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|vaen=Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld
|desc={{p|Kricketot}} first appeared in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', where it was used in the Grand Festival. Using its antennae, Kricketot was able to create music which, when used in combination with Altaria's Perish Song, created a dazzling appeal which easily ensured Nando's progression past the first round.

Kricketot's only known move is {{m|Sing}}{{tt|*|Kricketot cannot learn Sing in the games.}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|pkmn=Lopunny

|epname=Coming Full Festival Circle!
|vajp=Ikue Ohtani
|desc={{p|Lopunny}} first appeared in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'', where it was used in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. Lopunny's dancing skills were well suited alongside Kricketune's ability to create music and were used to simulate a {{wp|ballerina}} and a {{wp|violinist}}, respectively. The two were able to put up a good fight against Zoey's {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}} during the Semi-Finals. However it wasn't enough against Zoey's highly trained Pokémon and the two had the fewest points by the time the clock ran out.

Lopunny's known moves are {{m|Jump Kick}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Focus Blast}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|pkmn=Armaldo

|epname=League Unleashed!
|desc=Nando used {{p|Armaldo}} in [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']] against [[Ash's Staraptor]] and [[Ash's Quilava]]. It managed to defeat Ash's weakened Staraptor and put up a good fight against his Quilava before they were both knocked out.

Armaldo's known moves are {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Rock Blast}} and {{m|X-Scissor}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Nando's golden harp, which he carries with him, is shaped like a {{p|Mew}}.
** The harp he holds during Contests is shaped as two Mew joined at toe and tail.
* Nando shares his two unknown badges with two of {{an|Barry}}'s three unknown badges.
* Unlike other Coordinators who tended to wear formal clothing when entering a {{pkmn|Contest}}, Nando's regular Contest outfit was simply his regular outfit with a few attachments and he would play a bigger harp (although his outfit is pretty formal to start with).
* Nando is the only male character to make it to the Top 4 of the Sinnoh Grand Festival.

'''Nando''' (Japanese: '''ナオシ''' ''Naoshi'') is a recurring character from the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a wandering {{wp|minstrel}} who enjoys music and as such always carries his golden harp with him.

==History==
Nando made his debut appearance in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''. At the time, he was confused as to whether he should challenge Gyms or become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]]. Trying to decide between the two, he battled both {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} with his {{p|Budew}}, which evolved into {{p|Roselia}} during his battle with Ash. After the battle, Nando decided to become both a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a Coordinator.

He later appears again in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', where he is falsely accused and arrested due to [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}'s stealing of the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}}.

Nando also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' where he entered the {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, which he won by defeating [[Zoey]].

Nando made a cameo in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' alongside {{si|Kenny}} in [[Marian]]'s news report about Coordinators.
[[File:Nando playing music.png|thumb|left|250px|Nando playing music]]
After a long absence, he appeared again in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'' as a participant in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. He made it past the Appeal Round and quickly reached the Top 4 as seen in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]''. In the said episode, he fought a hard battle against [[Zoey]] with his Lopunny and Kricketune, even impressing [[Fantina]] a lot with their combinations; however, Zoey eventually won the battle. In the same episode, Nando can be seen playing music to the Pokémon around the area. He made a brief appearance in [[DP177|the following episode]] watching Dawn and Zoey compete in the finals and then again after the Grand Festival had finished announcing that he was going to compete in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

He most recently appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it is revealed that he is Ash's first opponent in the [[Sinnoh League]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], with the match occurring in the [[DP183|following episode]]. Despite his Pokémon putting up a good fight, he lost his match against Ash and was eliminated. After the match, he mentioned that he would continue his travels in order to train further before leaving.

Nando had a cameo appearance in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
{{left clear}}
==Character==
Nando's character can be easily described as calm and collected. Even in the most tense of situations, such as being arrested for a crime he did not commit, he will always look to the positive side. His favorite pastime is to play his harp for anyone, whether they be human or Pokémon, who will care to listen in hopes of spreading the tranquility he feels inside to others.

Even if Nando encounters a Trainer that has hostility towards him, such as [[Zoey]], he will still treat that Trainer with the utmost respect. As seen in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', Nando likes to be a peace maker, helping Ash and Dawn settle their differences on whether battling or coordinating are better than one another.

==Pokémon==
Nando tends to choose Pokémon with some sort of musical ability which fits his musical battle style. His Pokémon tend to be {{t|Bug}} or {{type|Grass}} and also tend to know sound-based moves. Nando's Pokémon are also known for being able to exhibit both beauty and grace.

This listing is of Nando's known Pokémon that may or may not be on hand:

It also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' during the Hearthome Contest.

It helped Nando reach the semi-finals alongside {{p|Sunflora}} and it was revealed in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' that it had evolved into a Roserade.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']] it battled against [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Early in the battle, it was able to overpower Staraptor. However, thanks to a powerful {{m|Brave Bird}}, Staraptor was able to defeat Roserade.}}

It made a brief appearance in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' where it had helped Nando get to the semi-finals alongside Kricketune and Roserade in another battle.

While Roserade appears to be Nando's main Pokémon, Kricketune has actually appeared more due to Roserade mostly having brief appearances in later episodes.

During the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'', it and Lopunny were used in the semi-finals, where they lost to [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}}.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']], during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], it faced [[Ash's Heracross]] as Nando's last Pokémon, and eventually lost the match.}}

The two were able to put up a good fight against Zoey's {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}} during the Semi-Finals.

'''Nando''' (Japanese: '''ナオシ''' ''Naoshi'') is a recurring character from the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a wandering {{wp|minstrel}} who enjoys music and as such always carries his golden harp with him.

==History==
Nando made his debut appearance in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''. At the time, he was confused as to whether he should challenge Gyms or become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]]. Trying to decide between the two, he battled both {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} with his {{p|Budew}}, which evolved into {{p|Roselia}} during his battle with Ash. After the battle, Nando decided to become both a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a Coordinator.

He later appears again in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', where he is falsely accused and arrested due to [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}'s stealing of the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}}.

Nando also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' where he entered the {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, which he won by defeating [[Zoey]].

Nando made a cameo in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' alongside {{si|Kenny}} in [[Marian]]'s news report about Coordinators.
[[File:Nando playing music.png|thumb|left|250px|Nando playing music]]
After a long absence, he appeared again in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'' as a participant in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. He made it past the Appeal Round and quickly reached the Top 4 as seen in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]''. In the said episode, he fought a hard battle against [[Zoey]] with his Lopunny and Kricketune, even impressing [[Fantina]] a lot with their combinations; however, Zoey eventually won the battle. In the same episode, Nando can be seen playing music to the Pokémon around the area. He made a brief appearance in [[DP177|the following episode]] watching Dawn and Zoey compete in the finals and then again after the Grand Festival had finished announcing that he was going to compete in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

He most recently appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it is revealed that he is Ash's first opponent in the [[Sinnoh League]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], with the match occurring in the [[DP183|following episode]]. Despite his Pokémon putting up a good fight, he lost his match against Ash and was eliminated. After the match, he mentioned that he would continue his travels in order to train further before leaving.

Nando had a cameo appearance in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Character==
Nando's character can be easily described as calm and collected. Even in the most tense of situations, such as being arrested for a crime he did not commit, he will always look to the positive side. His favorite pastime is to play his harp for anyone, whether they be human or Pokémon, who will care to listen in hopes of spreading the tranquility he feels inside to others.

Even if Nando encounters a Trainer that has hostility towards him, such as [[Zoey]], he will still treat that Trainer with the utmost respect. As seen in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', Nando likes to be a peace maker, helping Ash and Dawn settle their differences on whether battling or coordinating are better than one another.

==Pokémon==
Nando tends to choose Pokémon with some sort of musical ability which fits his musical battle style. His Pokémon tend to be {{t|Bug}} or {{type|Grass}} and also tend to know sound-based moves. Nando's Pokémon are also known for being able to exhibit both beauty and grace.

This listing is of Nando's known Pokémon that may or may not be on hand:

It evolved later into {{p|Roselia}} in the same episode. It appeared again in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', where it was revealed that it had defeated [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Turtwig}}. It also appeared in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' during the Hearthome Contest.

It helped Nando reach the semi-finals alongside {{p|Sunflora}} and it was revealed in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' that it had evolved into a Roserade.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']] it battled against [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Early in the battle, it was able to overpower Staraptor. However, thanks to a powerful {{m|Brave Bird}}, Staraptor was able to defeat Roserade.}}

It made a brief appearance in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' where it had helped Nando get to the semi-finals alongside Kricketune and Roserade in another battle.

Sunflora's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Cut}}, {{m|GrassWhistle}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}}.}}

It later helped Nando win the {{to|Beach Rose}} {{pkmn|Contest}} prior to ''[[DP105|A Breed Stampede!]]''. While Roserade appears to be Nando's main Pokémon, Kricketune has actually appeared more due to Roserade mostly having brief appearances in later episodes.

During the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'', it and Lopunny were used in the semi-finals, where they lost to [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}}.

In [[DP183|''League Unleashed!'']], during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], it faced [[Ash's Heracross]] as Nando's last Pokémon, and eventually lost the match.}}

The two were able to put up a good fight against Zoey's {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}} during the Semi-Finals. However it wasn't enough against Zoey's highly trained Pokémon and the two had the fewest points by the time the clock ran out.

* Unlike other Coordinators who tended to wear formal clothing when entering a {{pkmn|Contest}}, Nando's regular Contest outfit was simply his regular outfit with a few attachments and he would play a bigger harp (although his outfit is pretty formal to start with).
* Nando is the only male character to make it to the Top 4 of the Sinnoh Grand Festival.

'''Lavender Town''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|シオンタウン|Shion Taun}}''' ''Cion Town'') is a small town located in northeast [[Kanto]], just south of the [[Rock Tunnel]]. Though the Lavender Town of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] is known mainly for ghost sightings in the [[Pokémon Tower]] and as the main gravesite of Pokémon, it is noticeably modernized in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] with the inclusion of a broadcasting station.

According to the citizens of the town during Generations I and III, Lavender Town is known as the grave site of Pokémon. All the memorial services are held in [[Pokémon Tower]]. According to local citizens, the {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghosts}} that appear in the Tower are the spirits of Pokémon that have died or were killed (the latter is the case with the mother {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} in the tower, which died at [[Team Rocket]]'s hands).
North of Lavender is {{rt|10|Kanto}} and the [[Rock Tunnel]]. West of the town is {{rt|8|Kanto}}, while to the south is {{rt|12|Kanto}} and the [[Silence Bridge]].

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon Tower===
{{Main|Pokémon Tower}}
In [[Generation I]], Pokémon Tower is a seven-floor graveyard that holds the grave of departed Pokémon. On all seven floors, the tower houses hundreds of graves of deceased {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Many people visit the building daily to pay their respects to the fallen. On all floors other than the first two, though, the possibility of being attacked by [[wild Pokémon]] is present. Populated by {{tc|Channeler}}s, it was notable for numerous ghost sightings (Pokémon killed by [[Team Rocket]]), as well as the location of Team Rocket's kidnapping of [[Mr. Fuji]]. Although players can encounter {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon here, they can not be seen or captured unless they have a [[Silph Scope]].

Aside from graves, the tower is home to wild {{p|Cubone}} as well as many {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal the Cubone to sell their valuable skulls. In the process, a mother {{p|Marowak}} that was protecting her Cubone child was killed. {{OBP|ghost|literal|The ghost}} of the mother Marowak haunted the tower until {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} was able to knock it out, setting her spirit free. The Ghost-type Pokémon in the tower appear to have a unique ability to disguise themselves as the ghosts of humans. However, a [[Silph Scope]] will reveal their true natures and identity, allowing the Pokémon to be engaged in battle. Any Pokémon who attempts to fight ghosts without a Silph Scope will be "too scared to move."

===Kanto Radio Tower===
In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the tower was converted to the Kanto Radio Tower, with all graves being moved to either the [[House of Memories]] or underground. The new House of Memories is placed where the [[Poké Mart]] has been before. The Kanto radio tower can be entered, like its [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Johto counterpart]], but only the ground floor, as the upper floors are completely off limits. This was done to prevent a similar take over that was seen in Johto. Talking to the receptionist on the ground floor, the player can receive a [[Pokégear]] radio card for Kanto.

The Radio Tower broadcasts music and radio programs, including the [[Poké Flute]] channel, to the radios and [[Pokégear]] of Kanto. After restoring power to Kanto by fixing the generator at the [[Power Plant]], Trainers can receive the {{DL|Pokégear|Radio|EXPN Card}} from the manager of the tower, allowing Pokégears to tune into the Poké Flute channel, which can be used to move {{p|Snorlax}} from its slumber. Unlike the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]], only one floor, the ground floor, is open to the public as a result of [[Team Rocket]]'s infiltration of the Goldenrod tower. The stairs in [[Generation II]] lead down into a basement instead of up into the tower, but the player is blocked by a guard.

===Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House===
[[File:Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House.png|240px|thumb|right|The inside of the Volunteer House]]
The Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, located in central Lavender Town, was founded by [[Mr. Fuji]]. The organization exists to care for abandoned and orphaned Pokémon. Many members of the organization live in the safe house, looking after the abandoned Pokémon. Many Pokémon have stayed at the Volunteer Pokémon House over time, including {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Nidorino}} and after the Team Rocket attack on the Pokémon Tower, {{p|Cubone}}. {{p|Cubone}} has been Mr. Fuji's biggest concern ever since the attack on the Pokémon Tower and the death of [[Marowak (ghost)|its mother]], praying for it every night and caring for it everyday in the Volunteer Pokémon House. After going through the Pokémon Tower and defeating Team Rocket, Mr. Fuji will give the player a [[Poké Flute]] in gratitude.

The Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House is in fact Mr. Fuji's own house, however, it is designed for abandoned Pokémon. There is a pen in the corner for Pokémon to play in, and a kitchen area that has a delicious smelling odor admitting from it. There are also Pokémon magazines lined on the shelf, such as the Pokémon Insider, Pokémon Fan, and on the table there is an open copy of Pokémon Fan Magazine with a clipping of the Monthly Grand Prize Draw application form missing. In addition to this there are several different kind of pot plants around the room and a TV with a show about a Pokémon having fun.

===Name Rater===
{{main|Name Rater}}

The Name Rater is located in the south end of town, and allows the player to change, or grant a nickname to any of their Pokémon. If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it. If the Pokémon he's judging was obtained via a trade, he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical [[Trainer ID number|Trainer IDs and secret IDs]], he will allow name changes.

===House of Memories===
{{main|House of Memories}}
The House of Memories, named Soul House in [[Generation II]], is a small building located on the south-eastern side of Lavender Town during the events of Generation II and IV. The House of Memories was built to hold graves from the [[Pokémon Tower]] when it was converted to the Kanto Radio Tower. There are many chambers within the building, but they cannot be accessed by anyone other than [[Mr. Fuji]]. There are no wild Pokémon or {{pkmn|battle|Trainer battles}} found within the House of Memories.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
Lavender Town's population is 41. Most of the population here are brought up living around the [[Pokémon Tower]], so they believe in ghosts and they are very religious, attending services at the Tower and praying for Pokémon's well-being. The number makes it the third largest settlement in Kanto.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population of Lavender Town is 30. Lavender Town suffered a large decline in population from FireRed and LeafGreen to HeartGold and SoulSilver.

==Difference between generations==
===Generation I and III===
Lavender Town is very consistent in the way of layout, a [[Pokémon Center]] in the north-western district of the town, the [[Pokémon Tower]] on the eastern side of town, the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, located in central Lavender Town, the [[Name Rater]] and other residential house on the southern side, and the [[Poké Mart]] located on the south-eastern side. The Pokémon Tower in Generation I is cave-like on the outside with the Tower covered by rocks and mountain, however, this isn't the case in Generation III and the building is a complete tower. Apart from this, most aesthetic features have been enhanced. Trees have become bigger, the cement road has been changed to a gravel path, flowers are more visible and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards.

===Generation II and IV===
In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} only, the tower was converted into a Radio Tower, broadcasting music and radio programs, including the [[Poké Flute]] channel, to the radios and [[Pokégear]] of Kanto. Unlike the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]], only one floor, the ground floor, is open to the public as a result of [[Team Rocket]]'s infiltration of the Goldenrod tower. The stairs in [[Generation II]] lead down into a basement instead of up into the tower, but the player is blocked by a guard.

To compensate for the loss of the burial site, the graves were moved to a small building, the Soul House, at the south end of the town. Most of them were placed in secret chambers that only Mr. Fuji knows about. In Generation IV, the Soul House was renamed House of Memories. The House of Memories was built over the [[Poké Mart]], which was relocated next to the [[Pokémon Center]] in the north-western district of Lavender Town.

==In the spin-off games==
===In Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Lavender Town appears on the Red table; catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Zapdos}}.

==In the anime==
In the anime, {{Ash}} travels to Lavender Town to catch a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]], and ends up befriending a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}. Only the [[Pokémon Tower]] is seen during the episode and it is different from the tower in the games. The tower is home to some playful {{p|Gengar}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} and {{p|Gastly}}. The {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Dome}} is also located near the city.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, {{Ash}} visits Lavender Town in the chapter ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]''. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}} and challenging [[Sabrina]] in [[Saffron City]], they travel to Lavender Town when a giant {{p|Haunter}} who has been terrorizing people and Pokémon in the area for years sucks out Sabrina's soul. Originally planning to capture the Haunter, known as the Black Fog, it explodes using {{m|Selfdestruct}} rather than allow itself to be captured by humans.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Lavender Town appears in ''[[PS013|Sigh For Psyduck]]'' and again in ''[[PS014|That Awful Arbok!]]''. {{adv|Red}} was traveling through Lavender Town when it was raining, trying to ask for a place to shelter, but the townspeople did not listen. Then, a man named [[Mr. Fuji]] came up to Red whilst paying his respects to his {{p|Doduo}}, which had passed away. At Mr. Fuji's home, Fuji told Red about a [[Pokémon Tower|cemetery]] that was haunted by [[Ghost (literal)|ghosts]], then telling Red that the townspeople wouldn't listen because they were afraid of the ghosts. He later told Red that {{adv|Blue}} had passed through, had gone to Lavender Tower, and hadn't come back for months.

So Red went there to investigate and found many gravestones. Then a {{p|Psyduck}} came out from behind the shadows only to find out it was a zombie, then other zombie Pokémon came out. Red decided to attack with [[Saur|Bulbasaur]]'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} to only do nothing, until Bulbasaur used {{m|Vine Whip}} which turned it to dust and bones. Suddenly all the other zombie Pokémon started attacking, under the control of a ghost. Red then saw Blue with his {{TP|Blue|Charmeleon|Charizard}} started attacking Red, suddenly a {{p|Gastly}} appeared only to be attacked by Blue which took the curse of Blue and his Charmeleon with a bit of help from Red. Suddenly, [[Koga]] appeared with an {{p|Arbok}} which was spewing venom everywhere. After a big battle, Blue's Charmeleon cut Arbok in half, and Koga made a hasty getaway with his {{p|Golbat}}. Mr. Fuji's {{p|Doduo}} had a place to rest in peace.

==Trivia==
* Lavender Town's Japanese motto is {{tt|シオンはむらさきとうといいろ|Shion wa murasaki toutoi iro}} "''Shion is the color of purple nobility.''"
* In the German versions, Lavender Town is called Lavandia, the same name as the French for [[Mauville City]].
* Its English motto before [[Generation IV]] was "''The Noble Purple Town''".
* In the Japanese edition of the {{wp|Bible|Christian Bible}}, {{wp|Mt. Zion}} is called '''シオンの{{tt|山|さん}}''' ''{{tt|Shion no San|Mt. Shion}}'', which is the same as the Japanese name of Lavender Town.
* There's a popular urban legend about "Lavender Town Syndrome", where the music caused children from 7-12 that caused a string of illnesses and suicides in Japan after hearing the music. The music was changed in the US Version with Nintendo given no reason for the change.

Hi Ataro. Just a reminder that you don't have to stoop to other people's levels if they are insulting you. Don't take the bait, don't reply and report them to a staff member. Even if they seem like they're being a moron, it's not always best to call them out on it... because their moronity continues. *insert Code of Conduct warning here* :D —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:46, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

== help. ==

HELP!!!! I used an AR code to walk OUT of Amity Square WITH a pokemon (shroomish) traveling with me in Diamond. I accidentally saved. Does ANYONE have an AR code to remove a partner walking with you?!?! I cant fly or surf! And I have a hard time catching anything! I cant use my fishin rod either! And Dont go on about how cheating is wrong. I was trying to research DPBox and Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur. I did, however, come to one conclusion: Its the SAME POKEMON. When it faints, the entire thing is seen. So... can you help?????

==Small Question==
Hey Ataro. Small question. So, when Raikou fires the electric attack, Falkner says its Spark, but when he fires it again and it collides with Entei's Fire Blast, he says it's Thunder. Can you tell me which one it is? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 21:00, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
:oh crap, I made a mistake, the attacks are so similar I mistook one for the other...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:06, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
::Well, he says at first it's spark, so I posted it as Spark. But then he says it's Thunder, so now I'm confused. Any idea? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 21:10, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Ok, here's the deal I just read the RAW and it is in fact Spark (they even use the quotes for it) and the second move is Thunder [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:14, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
::::So it's two different attacks then...? Okay then, I'll probably move everything from Spark to Thunder (and add your picture as well) since the Spark attack wasn't seen. Sound good? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 21:18, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::nah, I changed the Thunder image to it's correct move...I'll probably use an image from the Emerald saga for thunder instead. Keep the pic [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:20, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

== Warning users ==

Next time, make sure to leave a message on their talk page after the first offense, rather than hoping they're watching the RC and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hareta&curid=18007&diff=1262572&oldid=1262570&rcid=1351392 talking to them through edit summaries]. New users usually don't know the ways of the wiki and may think that their edit is just randomly disappearing (or something), so if they're in the wrong you've got to let them know. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:49, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

== Signing ==

If you are going to jump at users who have been here less than an hour, please at least do things properly yourself. Putting your signature on a new line screws up the indents and is generally frowned upon. Also, please try to be more polite and kind with new users. They may not have even had a chance to read the policy pages yet, and your comments come off as rude and demanding - not the thing that is likely to make new users think highly of Bulbapedia. In short, take a deep breath, calm down and play nice, especially with new users. Thanks. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:40, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
:Additionally, if the re-signing is within the next few minutes ([http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pok%C3%A9mon_Global_Link&diff=prev&oldid=1273255 or even on the same minute... :/]), it's not a big deal. It's when they add it much later, and when people can get confused, that it becomes an issue. Yes, there are rules for a reason. But they need to be applied independently to each situation. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:23, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

==Coco?==
So, I was reading [[PS211]], and it shows a flashback with Norman and Ruby's mom talking over his contest battles. In the flashback, it goes to a panel showing a young Ruby in his room, sleeping with a Skitty (Coco), and ''just'' a Skitty. Does that mean that Coco would be Ruby's starter Pokemon? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 20:19, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
:Nah..In a later chapter an even younger Ruby is seen sending out Nana, Coco, and Ruru at one point. In fact I remember something about all three being given to him by his father, technically all of them are his starters [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:35, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

==Exbo's Page==

Firstly, pardon my rudeness, but since when was it ever a rule that jpg images couldn't be uploaded into the database? It's a perfectly fine (not to mention ''permitted'') image format, so there's no reason to undo, much less '''delete''' the image unless you want to hear people seriously bicker.

Then, check how Exbo fires a large stream of fire from the flame lit on his shoulder when Aibo supports it with Gold's cue, and then look when he performs Blast burn later to destroy the Kyogre monster. Same stance, same effect, and even Guile states that the attack's firepower was like nothing he'd seen. It's a clearly cognate case with his future usages of the technique, including in the HGSS arc. An attack doesn't have to be flat-out shouted for us to know what it is (that's like saying that because Red didn't physically order a Solarbeam against Zapmolcuno, it was just a standard attack >_>).

So, yeah. Any real reasoning behind that last undoing? [[User:Kaboomustdie| Kaboomustdie]] 01:53, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
:It's not that jpgs can't be uploaded, it's that pngs are the preferred ones, and we already had a png image on the page. And about Exbo's attack, well think about it for a sec, Gold had been training during that time, plus Aibo powered it up with the pole cue. So it was more of a powered up flamethrower, besides, they wouldn't reveal the attack early would they? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 02:01, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

The only time that we saw two attacks look the same (besides Zuzu and Silver's Feraligatr, who just fire their water attacks from their mouths) was Green's "Blasty" firing off its Hydro cannon from the shoulder cannons only in the Emerald chapter due to an oversight. I ''highly'' doubt that Kusaka would have Exbo's Blast burn and Flamethrower look exactly the same if he planned to introduce them both in the exact same chapter (remember, Exbo never launched a Flamethrower in the GSC chapter), not to mention that we have Gold and Silver fire off their ultimate attacks in the first damn round in the HGSS arc anyway. Plus, plenty of higher-grade attacks debut before their weaker counterparts. For example, Saur used Solarbeam against the Machoke before he used Razor leaf (ane even Leech seed), Blasty was seen using Hydro pump long before it used Water gun or Bubble, and in volume 8, Totodile used Slash before it used basic attacks like Scratch, Zuzu used Earthquake before it used Mud shot, etc.

Then, back to the point about few attacks looking the same, even Exbo's Flame Wheel and Ember attacks looked distinctly different (despite their powers not differing that much), so why would either Kusaka or Yamamoto make two '''radically''' different attacks look the same unless they wanted to add in a crapload of confusion? o_0

So, yeah. Something to think about... [[User:Kaboomustdie| Kaboomustdie]] 02:48, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I've yet to see you provide any convincing arguments from you (let alone one that validates Kusaka being on high enough to have two attacks ''looking exactly the same'' debut within 4 rounds of each other), and I see no reason you should have any reason to argue when I go so kind as to upload the image in your "right" format, so I'll take it as a cue to resume editing in peace (considering you haven't added stuff here in days). Feel free to prove me wrong if you can here, but if you undo other people's contributions on the basis of your sole, undersupported opinion we might have some problems.

Thanks for helping me even though it was my first time, but anyway a question I have is It is okay to leave the parts like (I) this instead of ((Part 1)).

Hey Ataro, me again. On chapter 264, I have a question. In the flashback, Rayquaza's forehead starts to glow and it fires multiple orbs of energy from it at Norman and Professor Birch.

I love how you have uploaded images of different Pokémon using different moves. Now as you've finished, I'd like to make following requests:
* Both pics in {{m|Thunderbolt}}'s template are grainy. Could you upload better ones?
** It would be nice if you uploaded a picture of [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] using the move, so I could add a pic to the move article's move template.
* Could you upload a pic of {{Adv|Red}}'s [[Poli]] using {{m|Focus Punch}}?

== Trainer's Pokémon templates ==

Yes, I am aware that {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}'s names were exchanged between the Japanese and English releases of the manga however, the Trainer's Pokémon templates never have a "dark colour" border. For example, {{template|Brock's Pokémon}} doesn't use {{template|Rock color dark}} and {{template|Ash's Pokémon}} doesn't use [[Template:Red color|<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Ash color dark<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]], therefore, {{template|Green's Pokémon}} shouldn't use [[Template:Blue color|<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Green (Adventures) color dark<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]] and {{template|Blue's Pokémon}} shouldn't use [[Template:Green color|<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Blue (Adventures) color dark<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]].--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 18:19, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

== Geechisu ==
Why can't we change it? We've taken the "logical" romanization for other characters such as Arti and Yacon. This time we actually know the name origin.

==Manga issue==
I think for the Viz second edition that Red's Snorlax was given the name Lax since it said Lax when I checked the description of Red's team at the back of Volume 3 yesterday to help with that trivia piece for Diamond's page. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 23:54, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

:::::Do you have a picture or something? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 00:07, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
::::::No, but I can describe that at the end when they show the levels for Red's team in Volume 2 as I am holding it says this line in the description next to the picture ''Nickname: "Lax"''. In Volume 3 they don't have that but they still spell it out as Lax in the description. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 00:11, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Last note on this subject. Volume 1 may have descriptions of Red's original three Pokémon, there are no nicknames listed. Only Viz's second editions of Volumes 2 and 3 do, so in regards to Snorlax's nickname it is either a mistake either way, or Viz decided to change it. That's all I am going to say to this though I think it will make a good trivia piece somewhere. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 05:05, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

In addition, the image of Red's [[Poli]] using {{m|Water Gun}} is grainy.

Why did you remove the trivia I just added to Wes and Micheal's pages ? Is it because it was wrong ?

I don't wan't to be accused of starting an edit war, so, could you, um... approve ? Here's what I was going to change the trivia to:

Wes, along with Pokémon [[XD: Gale of Darkness]] protagonist [[Michael]], is the only main series player character not to have an opposite gender counterpart since [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]].
Micheal, along with [[Pokémon Colosseum]] protagonist [[Wes]], is the only main series player character not to have an opposite gender counterpart since [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]].

Please don't do that again. I worked hard on that edit. There were many things that I did with one single edit. If you are still not happy with the edit that was done then discuss it with me.

== Pictures in Clothing Page ==

I notice that you were the one to revert my edits to the clothing page, especially with regards to the new screenshots I placed in. I'm not trying to get into an editing war with you, but I want to know why you felt the old pictures were better than mine.

The section is about Ash's clothing, and I felt it's better if pictures that featured Ash in that suit "front and centre" is more appropriate. The one with Ash's red suit had him in the corner tilted diagonally, and the one with Ash's purple suit was a faraway shot that made him very small. I felt the ones I used are more suitable for that page's purposes.

If you don't mind, I would like to hear your thoughts on this prior to doing more edits. Thank you.

I still haven't heard back from you yet, and I would really appreciate your input before I make any more edits. I don't feel it's fair that my edits were reverted, but the one who reverted them refuses to communicate with me as to what's wrong with my edits.

== Standards ==

Hello. You replaced this: http://goo.gl/usDSg with this: http://goo.gl/HK1lK

Higher contrast makes the picture clearer to be seen in a computer screen, but loses the artist's shading. You also kept japanese characters in the small ballons, which, as I heard, should be cleaned. What exactly are the standards for manga scans in Bulbapedia? I mean, what do I need to do with the scans I have before I upload them. 30% constrast is enough? And can I go against these standards if i disagree?

== Charizard's gender. ==

Okay, look. In the Japanese version of "Island of the Giant Pokémon", Charizard, when it was a Charmander, used the term "boku" in reference to himself. "Boku" is a Japanese personal pronoun that is usually reserved for males, specifically younger males. If that wasn't enough, it also was heavily implied to have mated with a Charizard who is pretty obviously a female (I mean, not only does have eyelashes AND a headbow, but in both versions it was given a distinctly feminine name (Charla in the English dub, and Liza in the Japanese version). I mean, if we're going to label Ash's Butterfree as a Male specifically because Ash's Butterfree mated with a female Butterfree, then I don't see why Charizard can't.

== I was wondering ......... ==

Thanx for editing the [[User:Chikorita_Boy/Musha|page]] though i wanted to have credit for that page. Anyways i was wondering why did you delete the info about Musha's battle with N. And why do both Black and White's article dont contain info of any event after the Galvantula incident --[[Special:Contributions/Chikorita Boy|Gr8]][[User:Chikorita Boy|Chikorita]] [[User talk:Chikorita Boy|BoY]] 14:47, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
:Because the articles aren't supposed to filled with meaningless information. The point of these is to show major battles, like Gym Battles. It's going to be clustered if we list every time he battles or eats Black's dreams. Because I'm waiting for the next volume to come out so that I can fully add the info for Black vs N. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:00, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
::I dont think the battles with N is not important, anyways as you said we can wait but what about missing info on {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} --[[Special:Contributions/Chikorita Boy|Gr8]][[User:Chikorita Boy|Chikorita]] [[User talk:Chikorita Boy|BoY]] 14:44, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

== BW030 ==

Hi, I saw you deleted my edit on BW030 even though Shadow Ball really couldn't affect Tranquill, can you please give an explanation? Thanks.

== [[BW031]] ==

Hey, I saw that you reverted my edit for this page. However, I see it as a valid edit. In [[EP161]], it says that {{Ash}} tries and fails to capture a {{p|Weedle}}. How is this not valid when [[Trip]] tries and fails to capture a {{p|Palpitoad}}? :--[[User:SuperAipom7|SuperAipom7]] ''([[User talk:SuperAipom7|Wanna chat?]])'' 23:41, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
:I dunno. But as I stated in the summary: See BW007. Jessie attempting to capture Snivy and failing was not a major point of the episode, therefore, it shouldn't be here as well. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:45, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

== Debuts ==

You mentioned debuts, and I wasn't sure while making the pages but the triplets and their monkeys appeared in Chapter 3, but not directly. So does that count as debut, or do people and Pokémon need to directly need to be encountered for it to be considered a debut? Thanks for the help!

:Oh right, I forgot about that. Yeah, an appearance like the image over Black's head is good enough for a debut. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 01:26, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

== What Gives ==

Why did you delete that edit I made. Meowth does join Ash and the gang, so why shouldn't he be placed on the Ash's Friends page? {{unsigned|Firered16}}
:This is only a temporary thing. It's not permanent and thus doesn't need to be there. They mentioned something about making a temporary section but until then Meowth isn't considered one.

== Excuse Me? ==

I don't mean to come across as being rude or abusive, but would you mind giving me a good decent explanation on why you the deleted the post i made on Iris' Axew's talk page? I know it said do not add Trivia and thats why i bought it up on the talk page because i just assumed only admins can add trivia or something. You could've said "Not Noteworthy" or "Not Notable" etc. but i don't see the reason in going as far as deleting the post. [[User:TyphlosionTrent|TyphlosionTrent]] 13:25, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

== Munchlax page ==

Hi
See, as you did on virtually every service of the page about Diamond's Munchlax, you does not think better take it and move the files to one your personal page? I mean, so far I have not got it in main space and I think an injustice it is not yet in place. At least you would have more chance, since it is the User that most contributes to the manga section.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]]00:17-27 September 2011

== Spoiling information in edit summaries ==

Hi. I'd like to ask that you not to spoil the events of the episode in the edit summaries. It's fine to post links and such where the spoiling info is because it would be on me if I looked at it or looked at your edit. But browsing the recent changes is something a lot of people do and some still may not want to know the outcome of a episode, especially when it hasn't aired yet. Not to say that you can't add the information or explain your reasons. Just put a simple "Confirmed" or "Revealed on website/scan" or a link but don't say what. Thank you. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:14, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

== You know ==

The only way people get things done around here is to do them. If you look, I argued my case about Gliscor on the talk page three months ago and was ignored. Someone could have told me why it was where it was then but they didn't, so I figured I should just do it. "no" isnt a good enough answer for me.

::::First of all, I went to sleep soon after I changed the images. That's why I never answered any of your questions. Second, please don't post repeatedly like that, it's a little bit annoying. Third, as I already said, we already had the "It's Pidove image" Widescreen or not, it's pointless to have a second image. Lastly, the reason I removed the "'s" part of the Trainer's choice image was because all images are supposed to be alphanumeric. Otherwise they might get glitchy. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 02:38, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
:::::First of all, that's fine, but the only reason I made a big deal about it was because, from the looks of other recent posts on this page, I felt as if mine wasn't going to get a response.

Please, I got a little curiosity, and since you're a kind of authority when it comes to the manga Pokémon, you can tell me what is this series? There is a link here on Bulbapedia about it?

== Question on Userspace policy ==

Hello there,

I'm a pretty new member on this wiki, and I'm very glad to be an editor here. I do have a question on the Userspace policy, though: is there a specific minimum number of edits before one can create a small userpage for themselves? I'm curious, because if there is one, it's not stated anywhere that I've found.

Since my knowledge of the topics at hand is limited to mainly the original series anime and the games, I'm having a little bit of a hard time finding things I feel like I have enough know-how to edit, but I don't mind. Also, making a Userspace page for myself isn't really a concern for me, as I don't care either way, but I ''am'' curious about that one thing.

Thanks a bunch! --[[User:Punkreader|Punkreader]] 12:47, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

'''Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?''' (Japanese: '''チョロネコに御用心！ニャースとミジュマル！！''' ''Beware of {{tt|Choroneko|Purrloin}}! {{tt|Nyarth|Meowth}} and {{tt|Mijumaru|Oshawott}}!!'') is the 44th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 701st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on August 25, 2011 and in the United States on December 3, 2011.
{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==

The episode begins with a {{p|Purrloin}} watching two {{p|Tranquill}} in their nest with a sprig of Berries. The Tranquill then make communication via flapping their wings and leave their nest, leaving the Berries behind. Purrloin sneaks into the nest, and eats one, only to be discovered by one of the Tranquill. Purrloin unsheathes its claws in response, and whilst thinking that it is safe, a huge group of Tranquill swarm the nest. Purrloin quickly dives from the nest and begins to run for safety, being pursued by the Tranquill. However, Purrloin gains speed and races off into the depths of the forest, leaving the confused Tranquill behind. Ash and his companions are shown walking towards the Gym which is required for Ash to obtain his fourth Badge of the Unova region, however {{MTR}} is also with them. Meowth explains that he is in fact good in character, and that everything is better with his new friends. {{AP|Pikachu}}, however, still doubts Meowth in his actions. Meowth is deeply moved by Ash's sentiments towards him in contrast to Pikachu's, and begins to wail and cry in joy. Meowth is in the middle of a huge emotional scene, when Purrloin runs into him, knocking him over. Meowth turns to see his attacker, only to fall in love with Purrloin. Purrloin is then checked in the Pokédex, and suddenly {{an|Cilan}} holds his arms up in front of him in defense, very briefly stating that a Purrloin did something terrible to him once, and that he doesn't want to talk about it.

Meowth asks Purrloin what is wrong, and (after looking away from Meowth in a devious manner) Purrloin begins to plead to Meowth. Meowth, shocked, then turns to the others and explains that Purrloin is asking for help. Cilan tells them not to fall for Purrloin's cuteness, only to have Meowth decide to help Purrloin. Then, all of a sudden, the group are attacked with {{m|Gust}} by the Tranquill, who have discovered Purrloin's location. Ash, stating that they must be agitated, then sends out {{AP|Oshawott}} to help, using {{m|Water Gun}} in combination with Pikachu's {{m||Thunderbolt}}. The Tranquill then flee in fear. Purrloin then tries to creep away, only to have Meowth stop her. She then flatters Meowth, and also infatuates Oshawott. Meowth then begins to fight over Purrloin with Oshawott, however Ash stops the fighting. After the group then goes to the side of a stream to repose themselves, Purrloin explains to Meowth that she didn't realise that the Berries belonged to the Tranquill, and Cilan yet again dismisses this behaviour. Oshawott then uses water gun on Ash and Cilan, knocking some Berries out of Ash's bag. Iris also begins to become taken with Purrloin at this stage, and tries to catch her, however Meowth blocks her and almost becomes caught by her {{ball|Poké}}. Purrloin then sneaks away, preparing to steal the Berries from Ash's bag.

[[Jessie]] and [[James]] are then shown taking photographs, and discussing their feelings of loss about Meowth. They then state that their plans will be undertaken that night. Purrloin is shown running back to Ash and the others, and explains that her friends are stuck in a deep cave up the road. Ash and the others decide to go to assist, however Cilan decides to stay behind, as he can't bring himself to trust Purrloin. She leads them up a steep and rocky mountain, and Ash begins to get tired. Purrloin states that they are almost there, however. She tells Ash to leave his backpack because it is heavy and it might get in the way, however Ash refuses. Cilan is then depicted in worry about the others, only to have a [[Misha]] with her arm in a sling arrive and ask Cilan if she has seen a Purrloin, which is shown in a photograph.

Ash and his companions are then portrayed as running down an abandoned mine tunnel, and Purrloin gestures to a hole in the side of the tunnel which is very miniscule, explaining that the group must crawl through. Ash and the others barely squeeze through, so Meowth is told to make Ash give Purrloin his backpack because it gets even narrower. The narrow hole then opens to a grand hole full of rubble from mining tools, and Purrloin explains that her friends are down there and Meowth must leave the backpack up above. The group jump down the scaffolding, which is very old and begins to creak and shudder. Purrloin then calls goodbye from above, with Ash's backpack, stating that she has no business with them anymore now that she has their food. The scaffolding then tumbles, and whilst Purrloin checks to see if they are alright, Cilan and the Misha catch up with them. Purrloin asks why she was abandoned, and the young lady explains that whilst Purrloin was at home and she out, the young lady had been in an accident and had been unable to come home. The hospital had let her leave, only to find Purrloin gone.

Purrloin accepts the story, but Ash and his group begin to sink into the ground, which is acting like quicksand. Cilan and the lady try to help, but end up in the quicksand too. Purrloin runs for help. Ash uses {{AP|Snivy}} with {{m|Vine Whip}} to pull them to safety, however {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} are needed also. The rope then snaps, but just before all seems lost, the Tranquill return and pull the group to safety, thanks to Purrloin. The group then thank Purrloin, however amidst all the romantic confusion, it is revealed that Purrloin is actually male. The group then go off in search of new adventures, however {{TRT}} are then shown calling in a helicopter to deliver their evil deeds.

==Synopsis==

The episode begins with a {{p|Purrloin}} watching two {{p|Tranquill}} in their nest with a sprig of Berries. The Tranquill then make communication via flapping their wings and leave their nest, leaving the Berries behind. Purrloin sneaks into the nest, and eats one, only to be discovered by one of the Tranquill. Purrloin unsheathes its claws in response, and whilst thinking that it is safe, a huge group of Tranquill swarm the nest. Purrloin quickly dives from the nest and begins to run for safety, being pursued by the Tranquill. However, Purrloin gains speed and races off into the depths of the forest, leaving the confused Tranquill behind. Ash and his companions are shown walking towards the Gym which is required for Ash to obtain his fourth Badge of the Unova region, however {{MTR}} is also with them. Meowth explains that he is in fact good in character, and that everything is better with his new friends. {{AP|Pikachu}}, however, still doubts Meowth in his actions. Meowth is deeply moved by Ash's sentiments towards him in contrast to Pikachu's, and begins to wail and cry in joy. Meowth is in the middle of a huge emotional scene, when Purrloin runs into him, knocking him over. Meowth turns to see his attacker, only to fall in love with Purrloin. Purrloin is then checked in the Pokédex, and suddenly {{an|Cilan}} holds his arms up in front of him in defense, very briefly stating that a Purrloin did something terrible to him once, and that he doesn't want to talk about it.

Meowth asks Purrloin what is wrong, and (after looking away from Meowth in a devious manner) Purrloin begins to plead to Meowth. Meowth, shocked, then turns to the others and explains that Purrloin is asking for help. Cilan tells them not to fall for Purrloin's cuteness, only to have Meowth decide to help Purrloin. Then, all of a sudden, the group are attacked with {{m|Gust}} by the Tranquill, who have discovered Purrloin's location. Ash, stating that they must be agitated, then sends out {{AP|Oshawott}} to help, using {{m|Water Gun}} in combination with Pikachu's {{m||Thunderbolt}}. The Tranquill then flee in fear. Purrloin then tries to creep away, only to have Meowth stop her. She then flatters Meowth, and also infatuates Oshawott. Meowth then begins to fight over Purrloin with Oshawott, however Ash stops the fighting. After the group then goes to the side of a stream to repose themselves, Purrloin explains to Meowth that she didn't realise that the Berries belonged to the Tranquill, and Cilan yet again dismisses this behaviour. Oshawott then uses water gun on Ash and Cilan, knocking some Berries out of Ash's bag. Iris also begins to become taken with Purrloin at this stage, and tries to catch her, however Meowth blocks her and almost becomes caught by her {{ball|Poké}}. Purrloin then sneaks away, preparing to steal the Berries from Ash's bag.

[[Jessie]] and [[James]] are then shown taking photographs, and discussing their feelings of loss about Meowth. They then state that their plans will be undertaken that night. Purrloin is shown running back to Ash and the others, and explains that her friends are stuck in a deep cave up the road. Ash and the others decide to go to assist, however Cilan decides to stay behind, as he can't bring himself to trust Purrloin. She leads them up a steep and rocky mountain, and Ash begins to get tired. Purrloin states that they are almost there, however. She tells Ash to leave his backpack because it is heavy and it might get in the way, however Ash refuses. Cilan is then depicted in worry about the others, only to have a [[Misha]] with her arm in a sling arrive and ask Cilan if she has seen a Purrloin, which is shown in a photograph.

Ash and his companions are then portrayed as running down an abandoned mine tunnel, and Purrloin gestures to a hole in the side of the tunnel which is very miniscule, explaining that the group must crawl through. Ash and the others barely squeeze through, so Meowth is told to make Ash give Purrloin his backpack because it gets even narrower. The narrow hole then opens to a grand hole full of rubble from mining tools, and Purrloin explains that her friends are down there and Meowth must leave the backpack up above. The group jump down the scaffolding, which is very old and begins to creak and shudder. Purrloin then calls goodbye from above, with Ash's backpack, stating that she has no business with them anymore now that she has their food. The scaffolding then tumbles, and whilst Purrloin checks to see if they are alright, Cilan and the Misha catch up with them. Purrloin asks why she was abandoned, and the young lady explains that whilst Purrloin was at home and she out, the young lady had been in an accident and had been unable to come home. The hospital had let her leave, only to find Purrloin gone.

Purrloin accepts the story, but Ash and his group begin to sink into the ground, which is acting like quicksand. Cilan and the lady try to help, but end up in the quicksand too. Purrloin runs for help. Ash uses {{AP|Snivy}} with {{m|Vine Whip}} to pull them to safety, however {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} are needed also. The rope then snaps, but just before all seems lost, the Tranquill return and pull the group to safety, thanks to Purrloin. The group then thank Purrloin, however amidst all the romantic confusion, it is revealed that Purrloin is actually male. The group then go off in search of new adventures, however {{TRT}} are then shown calling in a helicopter to deliver their evil deeds.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
On their way to [[Nimbasa City]], the gang are seen taking a break for lunch. While {{AP|Tepig}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} are playing, they find an unconscious {{MTR}} in the bushes. Upon telling everyone, {{an|Cilan}} quickly inspects Meowth´s condition. Cilan and {{an|Iris}} give him medicine, and soon after, Meowth regains consciousness. After being startled by the gang, Iris asks Meowth what {{TRT}} is doing here. However, Meowth tells them that he is no longer a part of Team Rocket.

When {{Ash}} asks him what happened, Meowth tries to run away, claiming that nothing happened, but he is not able to run in his condition, and almost collapses. He tells the story of how he was entrusted to carry out an operation, but was unsuccessful. As a result, he was taken back to headquarters to hear what the consequences were. When leaving headquarters, he imagined [[Jessie]] and [[James]] leaving him, so he kept walking.

Upon hearing the story, Cilan suggests to the others that they should let Meowth travel with them, but Ash and Iris don´t think that it's a good idea. Cilan then reminds them that he is the only Meowth in [[Unova]], and that he will be lonely. Meowth initially refuses, but Iris says that he will faint again if they leave him. Ash tells Meowth that he can travel with them on the condition that he doesn't do anything bad. Meowth agrees to these terms as he has no reason to do anything bad, seeing as he's no longer a part of Team Rocket.

As they start walking, Meowth flatters the gang on their qualities; commenting on Cilan's soup, calling Iris a princess, and even calling Ash a good Trainer. As they walk, Axew becomes interested in a shiny object placed on the road, but when Axew tries to grab it, he is kidnapped by a {{p|Scrafty}}. The gang follows Scrafty to its hut, but Meowth tries to stop them, explaining that they mustn't get any closer to Scrafty´s hut because he could hurt Axew. Ash ignores Meowth and runs towards the hut, but Meowth stops him again, telling him that Scrafty is serious and that they shouldn't anger him. Pikachu agrees with Meowth, and Cilan suggests that they wait there until it things calm down. Inside the hut, Axew tries to use {{m|Dragon Rage}}, blowing a hole through the wall, but Scrafty manages to evade it.

Meowth tells the others that he will take it from there, claiming that he is a negotiator. Meowth slowly walks to Scrafty´s hut, calling for it to come outside. He asks Scrafty why he is doing this, and Scrafty tells him it will release Axew if it gets a Pokémon to help it in a fight. While Meowth negotiates with Scrafty, Ash makes his way around the hut as Scrafty shows Meowth that Axew is in one piece—but is tied up. Higher up, Ash notices that there is a window on the side, later suggesting that there is a way to release Axew. He tells Meowth to talk with Scrafty, but Meowth explains that Scrafty is an evolved form of {{AP|Scraggy}}, and that it will be good idea to take Scraggy with him to distract Scrafty. Ash complies and lets Scraggy go with Meowth, and takes {{AP|Snivy}} with him. As Snivy is released from her [[Poké Ball]], she attacks Meowth, only for Ash to tell her that Meowth is now their friend.

Meanwhile, Jessie and James are in [[Anville Town]], completing another one of their operations.

Meowth and Scraggy go to Scrafty while Ash goes around the hut again. As Scraggy and Scrafty show which moves they can use, Meowth suggests that Scrafty should teach Scraggy some good moves in an attempt to distract it. Scrafty accepts, and shows Scraggy how to use {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. Scraggy tries to use the move, distracting Scrafty and allowing Meowth to signal to Ash that he can release Axew. Ash tells Snivy to use {{m|Vine Whip}} and carry Axew out of the window. As Meowth pretends to alert that Axew is missing, he and Scraggy leave so Pikachu can use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Scrafty and return to the others.

Upon returning Axew, Meowth says that Scraggy is worried about Scrafty, but Scrafty returns and challenges the gang. Ash accepts and chooses Tepig to battle, who easily wins the fight. Meowth and Cilan investigate why Scrafty is doing these things. After refusing to speak, Scrafty admits that its nest was taken away, and it needs help to get it back, and that everyone he has asked has refused to help—resulting in it kidnapping Pokémon. After hearing the story, Ash and his friends agree to help Scrafty.

Scrafty leads them to his nest, showing them that a {{p|Mandibuzz}} had taken it. Scrafty tries to attack Mandibuzz, but is easily defeated by her {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Scraggy decides to try to defend his "older brother". Mandibuzz uses {{m|Pluck}} and dives into Scraggy, but Scraggy manages to dodge the attack. Mandibuzz hits the head in the ground and gets stuck on the rocks. As Mandibuzz tries to get free, Scrafty commands Scraggy to use Hi Jump Kick, which successfully hits and defeats Mandibuzz. Upon defeating Mandibuzz, she starts crying, explaining that she was kicked out of her flock because she ate all of the food, forcing her to take Scrafty's nest. After hearing this, Meowth suggests that they pick up some food and give it to Mandibuzz´s flock. After seeing it as a peace-offering, Mandibuzz is welcomed back to her flock.

As the trio continue their journey, Iris compliments Meowth's negotiation skills, to which everybody agrees. Suddenly, Iris decides to capture Meowth and throws a Poké Ball at him. The catch is unsuccessful as Meowth yells at her, claiming that he belongs to no-one. He agrees to continue traveling with the group, as long as they don't try to catch him.

==Major events==
* [[Ash's Scraggy]] learns {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}.
* {{MTR}} begins to travel with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, claiming to have been fired from [[Team Rocket]].

'''Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!''' (Japanese: '''決戦ドンバトル！！サトシVSアイリス！！''' ''Decisive {{tt|Don|Club}} Battle! {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}} VS Iris!!'') is the 42nd episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and the 699th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on August 11, 2011 and in the United States on November 19, 2011.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode is a continuation of the [[Club Battle]] Tournament in [[Nimbasa Town]]. The episode starts with {{Ash}} and {{AP|his Palpitoad|Palpitoad}} battling against [[Dino]]'s {{p|Darumaka}}. Ash commands his Palpitoad to use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, defeating Darumaka and taking Ash into the finals.

Immediately afterwards is the battle between [[Luke]] and {{an|Iris}}. Luke looks over to find {{an|Bianca}} filming his {{TP|Luke|Zorua}} when he had asked her to film his battle. He turn turns his attention back to the battle and sends out his {{p|Golett}} while Iris confidently sends {{TP|Iris|Axew}} into battle. Iris commands Axew to use {{m|Scratch}}. However, Golett took no damage due to its partial {{t|Ghost}} typing, making {{type|Normal}} attacks useless. Golett counterattacks by using {{m|Mega Punch}}, landing a direct hit. Axew then tries to attack with {{m|Dragon Rage}}, while Golett uses {{m|Double Team}}, causing Dragon Rage to miss its mark. Luke commands his Pokémon to use {{m|Gyro Ball}} while its two other copies do the same. Axew manages to keep an eye on the upcoming attacks until two of them spin in opposite directions, making Axew confused. The three attacks hit the Tusk Pokémon at the same time but Axew is still standing. Iris sees an opportunity to attack and commands Axew to use Dragon Rage again. Luke tells Golett to use {{m|Shadow Ball}}, as its copies disappear and it forms a dark, purple ball in its hands. Golett throws it towards Axew as the two attacks collide into each other and a giant explosion is created.

Luke tells his Golett to use Gyro Ball once more as Iris tells Axew to run from it. Golett continues to chase Axew for a while until Axew stumbles over, exhausted from running. As Golett closes in on Axew, Iris dramatically yells Axew's name. Golett is surprisingly thrown up into the air while Axew stands with a bright red aura around it. When Golett reaches the ground, Axew angrily attacks it continuously with punches and powerful kicks. One of Axew's kicks sends Golett into the air, Golett then smashes against the arena's border wall and faints. The judge announces Iris the winner and will be advancing to the final round against Ash. She rushes towards her Axew and congratulates him on learning {{m|Outrage}} as Axew begins to sleep.

Afterwards, everyone heads back to the Pokémon Center and Luke is shocked to discover all the footage Bianca shot was of his Zorua. Bianca shrugs off her actions and offers Zorua handmade accessories as gifts, and partial bribery to become her Trainer. Zorua refuses these gifts, and Luke reminds Bianca that he's not interested in trading away his star actress. Luke then remembers that he should interview Ash and Iris, the finalists, for his film. In the dining room, [[Cilan]] presents his friends and their Pokémon with their dinner which he was permitted to make in the Pokémon Center's kitchen to celebrate Ash and Iris's victories. During their meal, [[Burgundy]] approached Cilan and challenged him to a Connoisseur Showdown to evaluate his prowess as a [[Pokémon Connoisseur|connoisseur]]. He rejected the invitation at first, but then noticed Luke behind Burgundy filming their conversation. Cilan could not hold back putting on a performance for the camera, and immediately accepted Burgundy's challenge with confidence. The change in personality startled Burgundy, and [[Stephan]] appeared behind them and volunteered to be their referee. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is hiding out in one of the Ferris Wheel's carriages in [[Nimbasa City]], reviewing their newest plan. Meowth mentions there is one thing left to be taken care of and he will take care of it.

The next day, the final battle between Iris and Ash commences, as does the Connoisseur Showdown between Burgundy and Cilan. Ash sends {{AP|Pikachu}} into battle while Iris decides to use her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}. Ash starts the battle with Pikachu using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which naturally has no effect on a part {{type|Ground}} like Excadrill. Iris then tells Excadrill to use {{m|Drill Run}}. Ash cleverly commands Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} which helps it dodge the attack. However, Iris's Excadrill grabs Pikachu's tail between its claws and thrusts Pikachu across the arena, and then slams it using {{m|Metal Claw}}. However, Pikachu manages to flip around and get back on its feet. Cilan and Burgundy continue to comment about Ash's and Iris's battle as Luke and Bianca film.

Ash's Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} while Excadrill uses another Metal Claw. The two dive towards each other but Pikachu dodges the opposing Pokémon's attack and slams Excadrill to the ground. Iris follows up with {{m|Focus Blast}} while Pikachu charges up {{m|Electro Ball}}. The two attacks collide into an electric light explosion. Burgundy comments on the explosive power between Pikachu and Excadrill, and Cilan responds in agreement and confidence in the two Pokémon's power. Burgundy realizes Cilan's choice of words shows far more experience than her own, and Cilan politely offers to end the showdown, which Burgundy accepts and the two continue watching the battle in silence. Iris's Pokémon drills into the ground and attacks Pikachu. Ash suddenly tells Pikachu to keep spinning and it uses the momentum to land a powerful Iron Tail into Excadrill's face. Despite the powerful attack, Excadrill still stands. It uses Drill Run while Ash tells Pikachu to use another Iron Tail. However, right before Pikachu can execute its attack, the opposing Pokémon rams into Pikachu, making it fall to the ground. Pikachu still manages to stand as Excadrill digs into the ground but misses Pikachu when it rises up. Iris then commands it to use Focus Blast which lands directly into Pikachu, causing it to fly backward and smash against the wall, also making Pikachu faint. With that final attack, the judge proclaims Iris the winner of the Club Battle Tournament. The crowd cheers for Iris and she is gifted a display case of [[Wing]]s. She stands in the center of the stadium with her two Pokémon, Axew and Excadrill. At the end of the episode, Ash, Iris, and Cilan bid farewell to their friends as they all go their separate ways.

Geodude is a gray boulder with bulging, rocky eyebrows, trapezoidal eyes with brown irises, and {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms|muscular five-fingered arms}}.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
{{m|Rock Throw|Throwing rocks}} is a common type of offense used by Geodude. As Geodude is also a {{t|Ground}} type, it can use moves like {{m|Earthquake}}. Geodude also possesses the ability to {{m|Explosion|explode}}. It has the ability to levitate, although is not {{a|Levitate|unaffected from attacks from the ground}}.

===Behavior===
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in [[cave]]s, which is why they are often mistaken for rocks. Geodude uses its arms to climb steadily up steep mountain paths, hoisting itself over. Geodude also uses its arms to swing its fists around when angered, such as when it is stepped upon carelessly. Geodude are proud of their sturdy bodies and bash against each other in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. Once buried, it will not awaken even if someone steps on it. In the morning, Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.

==Trivia==
* Geodude is one of five [[Generation I]] Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience was 86. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]].
* Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the {{t|Rock}} type. However, [[Brock]] does not use Geodude in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] as he did in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], though he does use its evolved form, {{p|Graveler}}, and in the [[Fighting Dojo]], it evolves into a {{p|Golem}}.
* Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in [[Generation III]] and onwards. It was also shown floating in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]] games and in the [[Pikachu Short]], ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]].'' Despite all of these factors it cannot have the {{a|Levitate}} Ability or learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* In one episode of ''{{wp|Fillmore!}}'', a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its {{m|Harden}} attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after [[Generation II]].
* It is one of the few Generation I Pokémon that was available in the wild in Generation III games Pokmemon Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald.

===Origin===
Geodude may be based on the "pet rock". However, Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.

====Name origin====
Geodude may be a combination of the prefix ''geo'' (earth) and ''dude'' (a slang word for a male). It may also be from ''{{wp|geode}}'' (a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside) and ''dude''.

Isitsubute is a combination of 石 ''ishi'' (stone) and 礫 ''tsubute'' (throwing stones), literally meaning "a stone throwing stones."

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Graveler}} starting at [[level]] 25, which evolves into {{p|Golem}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Geodude is a gray boulder with bulging, rocky eyebrows, trapezoidal eyes with brown irises, and {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms|muscular five-fingered arms}}.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
{{m|Rock Throw|Throwing rocks}} is a common type of offense used by Geodude. As Geodude is also a {{t|Ground}} type, it can use moves like {{m|Earthquake}}. Geodude also possesses the ability to {{m|Explosion|explode}}. It has the ability to levitate, although is not {{a|Levitate|unaffected from attacks from the ground}}.

===Behavior===
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in [[cave]]s, which is why they are often mistaken for rocks. Geodude uses its arms to climb steadily up steep mountain paths, hoisting itself over. Geodude also uses its arms to swing its fists around when angered, such as when it is stepped upon carelessly. Geodude are proud of their sturdy bodies and bash against each other in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. Once buried, it will not awaken even if someone steps on it. In the morning, Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]

==Trivia==
* Geodude is one of five [[Generation I]] Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience was 86. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]].
* Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the {{t|Rock}} type. However, [[Brock]] does not use Geodude in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] as he did in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], though he does use its evolved form, {{p|Graveler}}, and in the [[Fighting Dojo]], it evolves into a {{p|Golem}}.
* Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in [[Generation III]] and onwards. It was also shown floating in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]] games and in the [[Pikachu Short]], ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]].'' Despite all of these factors it cannot have the {{a|Levitate}} Ability or learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* In one episode of ''{{wp|Fillmore!}}'', a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its {{m|Harden}} attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after [[Generation II]].
* Geodude is one of the few pokemon that can be caught in every main-series game up until [[Generation V]].

===Origin===
Geodude may be based on the "pet rock". However, Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.

====Name origin====
Geodude may be a combination of the prefix ''geo'' (earth) and ''dude'' (a slang word for a male). It may also be from ''{{wp|geode}}'' (a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside) and ''dude''.

Isitsubute is a combination of 石 ''ishi'' (stone) and 礫 ''tsubute'' (throwing stones), literally meaning "a stone throwing stones."

===Behavior===

==Trivia==
* Geodude is one of five [[Generation I]] Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience was 86. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]].
* Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the {{t|Rock}} type. However, [[Brock]] does not use Geodude in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] as he did in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], though he does use its evolved form, {{p|Graveler}}, and in the [[Fighting Dojo]], it evolves into a {{p|Golem}}.
* Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in [[Generation III]] and onwards. It was also shown floating in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]] games and in the [[Pikachu Short]], ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]].'' Despite all of these factors it cannot have the {{a|Levitate}} Ability or learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* In one episode of ''{{wp|Fillmore!}}'', a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its {{m|Harden}} attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after [[Generation II]].
* Geodude is one of the few pokemon that could be caught in every main-series game up until [[Generation V]].

===Origin===
Geodude may be based on the "pet rock". However, Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.

====Name origin====
Geodude may be a combination of the prefix ''geo'' (earth) and ''dude'' (a slang word for a male). It may also be from ''{{wp|geode}}'' (a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside) and ''dude''.

Isitsubute is a combination of 石 ''ishi'' (stone) and 礫 ''tsubute'' (throwing stones), literally meaning "a stone throwing stones."

==Trivia==
* Geodude is one of five [[Generation I]] Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience was 86. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]].
* Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the {{t|Rock}} type. However, [[Brock]] does not use Geodude in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] as he did in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], though he does use its evolved form, {{p|Graveler}}, and in the [[Fighting Dojo]], it evolves into a {{p|Golem}}.
* Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in [[Generation III]] and onwards. It was also shown floating in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]] games and in the [[Pikachu Short]], ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]].'' Despite all of these factors it cannot have the {{a|Levitate}} Ability or learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* In one episode of ''{{wp|Fillmore!}}'', a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its {{m|Harden}} attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after [[Generation II]].
* Geodude is one of the few pokemon that could be caught in every main-series game up until [[Generation V]].
* Although Graveler can be caught in [[Challenger's Cave]] in Black & White.
* Geodude (along with his evolutions) can only be obtained by trading in Black 2 & White 2.

===Origin===
Geodude may be based on the "pet rock". However, Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.

====Name origin====
Geodude may be a combination of the prefix ''geo'' (earth) and ''dude'' (a slang word for a male). It may also be from ''{{wp|geode}}'' (a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside) and ''dude''.

Isitsubute is a combination of 石 ''ishi'' (stone) and 礫 ''tsubute'' (throwing stones), literally meaning "a stone throwing stones."

===Behavior===

Geodude are proud of their sturdy bodies and bash against each other in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground.

==Trivia==
* Geodude is one of five [[Generation I]] Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience was 86. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]].
* Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the {{t|Rock}} type. However, [[Brock]] does not use Geodude in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] as he did in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], though he does use its evolved form, {{p|Graveler}}, and in the [[Fighting Dojo]], it evolves into a {{p|Golem}}.
* Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in [[Generation III]] and onwards. It was also shown floating in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]] games and in the [[Pikachu Short]], ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]].'' Despite all of these factors it cannot have the {{a|Levitate}} Ability or learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* In one episode of ''{{wp|Fillmore!}}'', a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its {{m|Harden}} attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after [[Generation II]].
* Geodude is one of the few pokemon that could be caught in every main-series game up until [[Generation V]].
* Although Graveler can be caught in [[Challenger's Cave]] in Black & White.
* Geodude (along with his evolutions) can only be obtained by trading in Black 2 & White 2.

===Origin===
Geodude may be based on the "pet rock". However, Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.

====Name origin====
Geodude may be a combination of the prefix ''geo'' (earth) and ''dude'' (a slang word for a male). It may also be from ''{{wp|geode}}'' (a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside) and ''dude''.

Isitsubute is a combination of 石 ''ishi'' (stone) and 礫 ''tsubute'' (throwing stones), literally meaning "a stone throwing stones."
