Zubat: and where is this "OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION" exactly? and who says Ghidorah is based on an orochi? please be more clear, when you claim things as fact.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Elemental type|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Hydreigon and its {{p|Deino|evolutionary}} {{p|Zweilous|relatives}}.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Hydreigon evolves from its pre-evolution later than any other Pokémon, at level 64.
* Hydreigon has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all non-legendary {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.
** Hydreigon also has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.
* Hydreigon is the only [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon to not have {{stat|Attack}} as its highest stat.
** Hydreigon is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon with more than one immunity (excluding {{p|Metagross}} using {{m|Magnet Rise}}).
* Hydreigon's evolutionary family, along with {{p|Salamence}}'s, are the only Pokémon exclusively in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* Hydreigon is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have never been used by a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
** It is, however, used by [[Ghetsis]], the Trainer who is battled at the end of the Pokémon League during the first [[Hall of Fame]] entry.
* Hydreigon can learn moves belonging to 16 of the 17 elemental types; it cannot learn any {{type2|Grass}} moves.

===Origin===
Hydreigon is based on the fictional dragon {{wp|King Ghidorah}}. It may also incorporate elements of {{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}s, {{wp|Slavic dragon}}s or {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}
Originally, according to interviews with [[Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Hydreigon and its pre-evolutions were intended to be cybernetic dragons incorporating aspects of tanks within their bodies before being redesigned around the theme of {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}. The tank track-like markings on Hydreigon's body are a remnant of this design.

====Name origin====
Hydreigon seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}'', ''drei'', meaning three in German, and ''dragon''. Both the ''sa'' and ''zan'' in Sazandora seem to come from 三 ''sa''/''san'', or three, a reference to its three heads. The ''dora'' in its name comes from either ''dragon'' or ''hydra'', a possible reference to the multi-headed {{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}} of Greek lore.

Hydreigon (Pokémon)

2011-07-09T15:43:43Z

Zubat: /* Origin */ Yamata No Orochi is an 8 headed dragon with 8 tails and no wings. it is nothing like Hydreigon, and gamefreak obviously lied so they would not get sued

Blaziken (Pokémon)

2011-06-07T19:55:01Z

Zubat: none of it's sprites seem to show, or dex entries seem to mention, three clawed toes, so removing that line. seems like speculation...

'''Blaziken''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バシャーモ''' ''Bursyamo'') is a [[Elemental types|dual-type]] {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Blaziken is mostly red in coloration, with accentuations of beige, yellow, and gray. Blaziken appears to have long, beige-colored, hairlike feathers extending behind its head, continuing downward to envelop some of its chest and abdomen. Blaziken’s small, red-colored face is almost completely covered in feathers. It has a crest on its head with two points, which resembles the letter "V". Blaziken has three spiky extensions on the sides of its face, much like {{p|Gardevoir}}’s. Blaziken’s eyes are semicircular in shape, with yellow scleras and blue irises, and Blaziken's mouth is a hooked beak. The continuation of the "hair" from its head on its chest and abdomen makes Blaziken appear as if it's wearing a sleeveless jacket on its torso. Blaziken’s strong, muscular legs give it immense lower body strength, helping its kicking and jumping abilities. Blaziken has three fingers on each hand, resembling that of a normal chicken’s feet, with what appears to be gray-colored wristband-like markings on its wrists. Blaziken has a tuft of fire above its wrist and in combat with another Pokémon, it burns intensely as it becomes weary or stronger.
====Gender differences====
A female has shorter "hair" than a male. The V-shape on a female's "mask" is also smaller.

====Special abilities====
It can leap over a {{wp|skyscraper}} with a single jump. It can make flames spout from its wrists and ankles, cloaking its feet or fists. The stronger the foe it faces, the more intensely its flames burn. It may also launch a {{m|Blaze Kick|fiery kick}} at the opponent.

===Behavior===
It learns martial arts that use punches and kicks. Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:May Blaziken.png|thumb|250px|Blaziken in the anime]]
{{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}} was first seen in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]''. {{jo|Harrison}} used it to defeat the {{p|Sneasel}} that was blocking access to the flame of {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Harrison later used Blaziken in a climactic battle with [[Ash's Charizard]].

Blaziken was also seen in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of [[Rafe]].

In ''[[AG191|Once More with Reeling]]'', {{an|May}}'s Combusken evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}. She brought it with her to [[Johto]], and it was one of the Pokémon she used when she returned in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

Another Blaziken appeared in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''. It was used with a {{p|Sceptile}} in a coordinator's appeal.

==In the manga==
{{adv|Sapphire}} owned a [[Toro|Combusken]] that evolved to Blaziken in [[PS226|''Vs. Altaria'']] when she met up with [[Winona]]. Although it was unable to win her the battle even with its increased power, subsequent training allowed it to earn her the badge and back [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]]'s Pokémon into a corner twice, the second time utilizing its newly learned {{m|Sky Uppercut}} in conjunction with [[Zuzu]]'s {{m|Muddy Water}}.

In the {{chap|Emerald}}, it was again seen in Sapphire's team being used to fight her way into the top floor of the {{ho|Battle Tower}} and soon learned the ultimate attack {{m|Blast Burn}}.

==Trivia==
* Blaziken is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] final form of a [[starter Pokémon]], weighing 114.6 pounds (52.0 kilograms).
* Blaziken is the third [[Generation III]] Pokémon to appear in anime episodes (the first was {{p|Kecleon}}; the second, {{p|Wynaut}}) and one of the very few Generation III Pokémon to appear before the first episode of [[Advanced Generation series|Advance Generation]]. It is also the only [[starter Pokémon]] from the main series to appear in the anime before its generation saga began.
* Blaziken can learn {{m|Brave Bird}} despite not being of the {{type2|Flying}}, due to being based on a {{wp|chicken}}.
* Despite being based on a bird, because of its type, Blaziken is weak against {{t|Flying}} moves. It shares this trait with its pre-evolved form {{p|Combusken}}.
* Blaziken is the only final form of a Hoenn Starter Pokémon that wasn't shown in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. A {{p|Swampert}} was used by [[Morrison]] while a {{p|Sceptile}} was used by {{ho|Tyson}}.
** However, one owned by {{jo|Harrison}} was used in the [[Silver Conference]], where it was the only Hoenn Starter to be used in.
* It is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Blaze Kick}} by leveling up and get [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from the move. The only other Pokémon to learn it is {{p|Hitmonlee}}, a pure {{type2|Fighting}}.
* [[a:File:Latias Combusken.jpg|A pre-alpha sketch]] depicts an [[Unreleased Pokémon and characters|unused Pokémon]] with the traits of both a Blaziken and a {{p|Latias}}.
* Blaziken is the only fully evolved Hoenn starter to appear in Pokepark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure.
*Blaziken is the only fully evolved Fire-type starter Pokémon not to have a flame on its body or head.
===Origin===
Blaziken is probably based on a {{wp|cockfighting}} chicken. It bears resemblance to {{wp|Horus}} and {{wp|Ra}}, two Ancient Egyptian deities with hawk faces. Blaziken may also be based on the {{wp|basan}}, a fire-breathing chicken, or possibly the {{wp|Karura}}.

====Name origin====
Blaziken's name is a combination of ''blaze'' and ''{{wp|chicken}}''. ''Bashamo'' is likely a combination of ''burst'' or ''burn'' and 軍鶏 ''{{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}}'', a breed of Japanese chicken once raised for fighting.

'''Mudkip''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミズゴロウ''' ''Mizugorou'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Marshtomp}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Swampert}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Along with {{p|Treecko}} and {{p|Torchic}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] that can be chosen at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].

It is also available in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after obtaining all sixteen [[badge]]s and defeating {{ga|Red}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mudkip is a small, blue, amphibious Pokémon with a large head, wide mouth, black, beady eyes and an orange, star-shaped external gills on its cheeks. It also has a fin on the top of its head and a light-blue fin for a tail. It moves around on all four legs, and has a light-blue underside.

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

====Special abilities====
Mudkip can use the fin on its head to detect subtle changes in air and water currents, and can detect nearby bodies of water. In this way, it can also detect danger. Like most Water-type Pokémon, Mudkip can {{m|Water Gun|shoot water}} from its mouth. When in the water, Mudkip breathes using the gills on its cheeks. On land, it can powerfully {{m|Strength|lift large boulders}} by planting its four feet and heaving. If it is faced with a tight situation in battle, Mudkip will become strong enough to crush rocks bigger than itself.

===Behavior===
Mudkip is more mellow than its evolutions, but is protective of its kind and because of its powerful strength it groups up in numbers and easily overpower its foes. Mudkip has been known to be playful, especially in mud, as well. It sleeps by burying itself in soil at the water's edge. Its large tail fin propels it through water with powerful acceleration.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Mudkip and members of its evolution family dwell in swamps or other wetlands, deep inside isolated islands, because of their dislike of fresh water lakes and ponds. Soon after birth on beautiful beaches, it swims to swamps deep within islands.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Brock Mudkip.jpg|thumb|left|{{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} in the anime]]
Mudkip first appeared in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', when {{an|May}} was asked to use a Pokémon to attack some {{p|Poochyena}}. Then, when May was asked to pick her [[starter Pokémon]], she didn't pick Mudkip after it refused to do what May asked.

A Mudkip was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

[[File:Mudkiphatching2.gif|right|thumb|A baby Mudkip hatching from an egg]]
{{an|Brock}} has a {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}} that he caught as a Mudkip in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. Mudkip eggs were seen in the episode when [[Old Man Swamp]] offered to let Brock see one hatch, and Brock accepts his offer with enthusiasm. Next, a baby Mudkip is shown hatching from a Mudkip egg.

[[Nicholai]]'s Mudkip appeared in ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]''.

During ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', [[Nurse Joy]] asks {{Ash}} and [[Max]] to look over a {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} and Mudkip while she wasn't there. The Mudkip of this group was very young and cried easily.

===Other===
A Mudkip appeared in ''[[AG033|Now That’s Flower Power!]]'' as a Pokémon in the Contest.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Adventures, when {{adv|Ruby}} was attacked by {{adv|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Torchic}}, [[Professor Birch]] told him to look in his briefcase, to pick up the Poké Ball with a blue Pokémon and to throw it. The Poké Ball released a Mudkip and he nicknamed it [[Zuzu]]. At the beginning, Ruby was disappointed with it because it wasn't as attractive as his other Pokémon and it couldn't participate in any [[Pokémon Contest]]. He tried with different conditions and then he decided that [[Tough Contest]]s would be perfect for it. Zuzu eventually evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}} and then into a {{p|Swampert}}.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]] manga, [[Ginji]]'s partner and first friend is a cautious {{OBP|Mudkip|Ginji's Rescue Team}}.

==Trivia==
* Mudkip has the highest {{stat|Attack}} out of all the starters at base form.

* {{wp|GameFAQs}}'s sixth and seventh annual character battles featured Mudkip.
* "So i herd u liek mudkipz?" is a frequently mentioned meme on the Internet.

===Origin===
This Pokémon is based on the {{wp|mudpuppy}} or {{wp|mudskipper}}, or also possibly an {{wp|axolotl}}.

====Name origin====
Mudkip's name is a combination of ''mud'' and ''skip'', and was probably chosen because it sounds like {{wp|mudskipper}}.

''Mizugorou'' is probably based on 水 ''mizu'', "water," and ムツゴロウ ''mutsugorō'', "mudskipper."

'''Magneton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レアコイル''' ''Rarecoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon, and formerly, in [[Generation I]], a pure {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30, and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when leveled up in either [[Mt. Coronet]] or [[Chargestone Cave]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magneton is the result of three Magnemite being linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when no other Magnemite are in the vicinity. There are several ways that the three Magnemite, that Magneton consists of, can be linked. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked via body on the bottom, forming a triangle. However, in some cases, the Magnemite will not be connected at all, but still remain in a triangular pattern. In the anime, the size of Magneton's magnets change in different episodes. This doesn't seem to be based on anything except possibly an oversight by the animators. Magneton was originally thought to be a pure {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, but it was eventually discovered to have traits of a {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon as well. Even though Magneton, its {{p|Magnemite|pre-evolution}} and its {{p|Magnezone|evolution}} are all mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, can get hungry, and have a way of reproducing. Magneton has been considered to be related to {{p|Metang}} and {{p|Bronzong}} since both are also half Steel-type Pokémon that float by using electromagnetic waves.

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

====Special abilities====
Magneton can emit strange radio waves that can greatly damage various electronic equipment, raise air temperatures by 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit within a 3,300-foot radius and cause earaches to anyone that gets too close to it. Magneton mostly learns attacks that Magnemite is capable of learning. Magneton and its evolutionary chain are the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Zap Cannon}} naturally, before [[Generation V]]. Unlike Magnemite, Magneton can learn {{m|Tri Attack}} and even though Magneton is not yet fully evolved, it can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. On [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|very rare occasions]], Magneton can know {{m|Refresh}}.

===Behavior===
Magneton behave similarly to their pre-evolution, Magnemite, in that they generally do not bother people and keep to themselves unless provoked. If they are provoked however, they will resort to non-damaging moves, but, will not hesitate to use more powerful moves if not left alone. Unlike most other evolved Pokémon, in battle, Magneton are very easy to command and rarely lose focus.

When sunspots flare up, Magneton tend to appear more often in the open, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Magneton usually live around power plants and rough terrain where large deposits of metal can be found, but they're harder to find than Magnemite. They're found in [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Magneton feed off electrical charges.

==In the anime==
[[File:Wattson Magneton.png|thumb|right|220px|Magneton in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Magneton first appeared in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. They, along with {{p|Magnemite}}, saved {{Ash}} and company from a {{p|Grimer}} attack.

A Magnemite that belonged to {{an|Ethan}} in ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'' evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Team Rocket]].

Several Magneton attacked a Pokémon Center in ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', but the Poké Spokesman was able to calm them down and stop the attack.

[[Vincent|Jackson]] used a {{shiny}} Magneton against Ash during the [[Silver Conference]] in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''. It proved to be very strong, knocking out two of Ash's team members.

An army of {{p|Magnemite}} and Magneton appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' under the ownership of the main villain, [[Zero]].

===Minor appearances===
A group of Magnemite and a Magneton appeared as security guards in ''[[EP199|Current Events]]''. Ash was attacked by the Magnemite, but when Ash retaliated with [[Ash's Bayleef|his Chikorita]], a Magneton showed up and attacked.

A Magneton is shown in ''[[The Rivals]]'' and ''{{OBP|Pokémon World|song}}''.

[[Wattson]] used a Magneton in his brief Gym Battle with Ash in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''.

In ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play!]]'', Magneton was one of the {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon in [[Steel Valley]] picking on a wild {{AP|Torkoal}}.

A group of Magneton appeared in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'' among the numerous other Steel-types on [[Iron Island]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Magneton makes a cameo aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as one of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pokémon ready to attack {{adv|Red}}. However, it debuts in the next round, ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', when some of them torture Red with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Lt. Surge has a quad of Magneton, capable of using electromagnetism to create a tetrahedral aura. This aura is able to ferry people as well as attack and trap anything within, as seen in Volumes [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|3]], [[Pokémon Adventures volume 10|10]], and [[Pokémon Adventures volume 12|12]].

Another Magneton is shown as a member of [[Wattson]]'s team, as well as two in [[Jasmine]]'s.

[[Cyrus]] was briefly shown with a Magneton before it evolved to a Magnezone in [[Mt. Coronet]].

==Trivia==
* The original English name for Magneton was planned to be "Recoil."
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is no evidence of this in the anime. In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{an|Ethan}}'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of getting together with two real Magnemite. This is similar to the main series games.
** However, in [[Pokémon Snap]], a Magneton ''is'' created by three Magnemite.
** Also, when two Magnemite first get stuck together in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|original Mystery Dungeon games]], they mention how three Magnemite are supposed to come together to evolve.
* Magneton is supposedly composed of three Magnemite; however, after evolution, it becomes exactly 10 times heavier. Magnemite weighs 13.2 lbs, while Magneton weighs 132.0 lbs.
* As of Generation IV, Magneton and its evolution {{p|Magnezone}} have National Pokédex numbers that differ by 380, more than any other Pokémon related by evolution.
* Magneton and its evolutionary line have twelve resistances and one immunity, making them the most resistant Pokémon ever (as no other type combination has the same or higher amount of resistancies and/or immunities, regarding abilities). With the addition of {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which makes them immune to {{type2|Ground}} attacks for a short period of time, their only double weakness is negated.
* Magneton can be found [[level#Underleveled Pokémon|underleveled]] at level 26 in [[New Mauville]]; this also allows for {{p|Magnezone}} as low as level 27 if one is sent through Pal Park. They are found even ''further'' underleveled in [[Johto Safari Zone|Johto's Safari Zone]], at level 17, giving players the ability to legitimately have a level 18 Magnezone.
* Magneton and its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}} are two of few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Magneton is one of the three Pokémon to evolve via leveling up in certain locations, the others being {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Nosepass}}.
** Of these, Magneton and Nosepass evolve when leveled up in [[Mt. Coronet]].
** Magneton is the only one of the three who has already evolved.

===Generation II type change===
Magneton, along with its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}}, were pure Electric-type in Generation I, but became dual type Electric/Steel in Generation II. This makes them the first, and currently only Pokémon to gain an extra type. One could argue that this was purely because the Steel type had not been officially recognized by Pokémon researchers in Generation I; however, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} they are Electric/Steel-type. Due to this type change, Magneton is the second Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order (after Magnemite), but it was unable to learn any Steel-type moves until [[Generation III]] (and even then, it could only learn {{m|Metal Sound}}).

===Origin===
Magneton is a cluster of three {{p|Magnemite}} which in turn seems to be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature. They are likely linked through strong electromagnetic force.

====Name origin====
Magneton's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|magnet}}'' and ''ton'' — indicating that it is larger than Magnemite. A magneton is also a unit of magnetic movement, and a {{wp|magnetron}} forms the core of a {{wp|microwave oven}}. The ''rare'' in ''Rarecoil'' may be a reference to the fact that some {{wp|rare earth elements}} have interesting magnetic properties, or it may simply be alluding to the fact that it is rarer than Magnemite.

{{ElementalTypes}}
The '''Psychic type''' (Japanese: '''エスパータイプ''' ''Esper type'') is one of the seventeen [[elemental type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Psychic-type Pokémon are [[Sabrina]] of [[Saffron City]], [[Will]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], [[Tate and Liza]] of [[Mossdeep City]], [[Lucian]] of the [[Sinnoh]] Elite Four, and [[Caitlin]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Psychic-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
Psychic-type Pokémon have been fairly popular since [[Generation I]]. Offensively speaking, they often have great Special Attack meaning they can deal damage quickly using STAB moves. Furthermore, Psychic-type Pokémon can often learn moves of other elemental types, to deal with a multitude of types, especially their weaknesses of Dark, Ghost, and Bug. As a special sweeper, they are one of the best types in the game as a Psychic Pokémon's speed is also typically quite high. The greatest disadvantage is that Psychic cannot affect Dark. However their immunity to Psychic can now be rendered useless with {{m|Miracle Eye}}, as well as the fact that most Psychic-types can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}}. Some others are able to learn {{m|Focus Blast}}.

Their defensive capabilities are often weak, however, in spite of some Psychic-types featuring moves such as {{m|Recover}} ({{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Chimecho}}, {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Beheeyem}}, and {{p|Reuniclus}}). Psychic-types often have excellent Special Defense, but very low Defense and HP. Because of this, they can often only survive Special-based hits, and can easily be defeated by one or two high-powered moves from a Pokémon with an average or above-average Attack stat. Psychic Pokémon also often fall to a single {{m|Crunch}} due to the high Attack of many Dark-type Pokémon. There are exceptions to this, such as {{p|Bronzong}} or {{p|Metagross}}, who have high defense due to their second type, {{t|Steel}}, and their lack of weakness to Dark-type moves.

When used in contests, Psychic-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 68 Psychic-type Pokémon or 10.48% of all Pokémon, making it the fifth most common elemental type.

==Balance issues==
Psychic-type Pokémon were at the center of a balance issue in the [[Generation I]] games.<ref> Sugimori, Ken ''"Psychic Pokémon seemed to dominate in the previous Pokémon game, so we needed to come up with new Pokémon and types to make Gold and Silver more balanced."'' Nintendo Power 134 (July 2000) p. 79 (retrieved August 16, 2010) </ref> The issue arose from the lack of an effective countermeasure against Psychic-types caused by the absence of any powerful {{type2|Bug}} moves (at the time the only elemental weaknesses of Psychic-types).

The issue was rectified in later generations with the addition of {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}} types, an added weakness to {{type2|Ghost}} moves, and more powerful Bug- and Ghost-type moves.

==Trivia==
* {{m|Psycho Cut}}, {{m|Zen Headbutt}} and {{m|Heart Stamp}} are the only [[Physical move|physical]] Psychic-type moves.
** As these moves were introduced after [[Generation III]], this makes Psychic the only former special type not to have any of its moves changed into physical moves.
* Psychic is the most common type for [[legendary Pokémon]], with at least two Psychic-type legendaries introduced in each generation.
* Psychic is the only type that shares its name with {{m|Psychic|a move}} and a Trainer Class.
* Despite the balance issue during [[Generation I]], it was not until Generation IV that {{p|Croagunk|a Pokémon}} and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} with a double weakness to Psychic moves were introduced.
* There has been one Elite Four member or Gym Leader specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon in every generation.
* All of Psychic's weaknesses (Bug, Ghost and Dark) are based on typical fears. This is most likely because fears can manipulate the mind. Hence, the [[ability]] {{a|Rattled}}.
* A Pokémon cannot have a double resistance to Psychic without being a Psychic type itself.
** However, a Psychic Pokémon also cannot have a double resistance to more than one type.

Mr. Mime first appeared in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|co.}} were looking for a Mr. Mime to replace another one that was supposed to perform in [[Stella]]'s circus.

====Other====
In ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'', a Mr. Mime was part of a showboat stage show along with other Pokémon.

Mr. Mime also appears in ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]'' under the ownership of {{ka|Rhonda}}, a girl who lives outside [[Saffron City]] who was competing with [[Rhoda|her sister]], who owned a {{p|Sneasel}}, for the ownership of her father's restaurant.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' under the ownership of a {{tc|Clown}}.

==Trivia==
* Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names##102 - #151 Exeggcute - Mew|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, female Mr. Mime are just as common as males.
* The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game trade in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} was nicknamed Marcel. This may have been an homage to the late {{wp|Marcel Marceau}}. However, this was not kept in {{game|Yellow}} or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; the same Mr. Mime is nicknamed Miles and Mimien, in those games, respectively.
* Mr. Mime originally had four fingers on its hands. This was changed to five in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and every game since.
* In the Hebrew dub of the anime, Mr. Mime was often confused for a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in {{pmin|Israel}}, as "Mayim" (water) is pronounced very similar to "Mime".
* Mr. Mime was the first species with a space in its name, as well as the first one with a period and the first one whose name was more than one word; the space in its name was only reflected in the handheld games starting with [[Generation III]], however. Only in [[Generation IV]] was the second such species introduced: its baby form, {{p|Mime Jr.}}
** Mr. Mime is also one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.

===Origin===
It appears that it is based on a combination between a {{wp|clown}} and a {{wp|mime}} - together with a popular {{wp|pantomime}}, pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes.

====Name origin====
Mr. Mime's name simply refers to {{wp|mime}}s. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''barrier'' and ''weird'' - indicating its ability to erect invisible walls - or ''barrier'' and ''barricade''.

==Trivia==
* Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names##102 - #151 Exeggcute - Mew|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, female Mr. Mime are just as common as males.
* The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game trade in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} was nicknamed Marcel. This may have been an homage to the late {{wp|Marcel Marceau}}. However, this was not kept in {{game|Yellow}} or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; the same Mr. Mime is nicknamed Miles and Mimien, in those games, respectively.
* Mr. Mime originally had four fingers on its hands. This was changed to five in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and every game since.
* In the Hebrew dub of the anime, Mr. Mime was often confused for a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in {{pmin|Israel}}, as "Mayim" (water) is pronounced very similar to "Mime".
* Mr. Mime was the first species with a space in its name, as well as the first one with a period and the first one whose name was more than one word; the space in its name was only reflected in the handheld games starting with [[Generation III]], however. Only in [[Generation IV]] was the second such species introduced: its baby form, {{p|Mime Jr.}}
** Mr. Mime is also one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.

===Origin===
It appears that it is based on a combination between a {{wp|clown}} and a {{wp|mime}} - together with a popular {{wp|pantomime}}, pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes.

====Name origin====
Mr. Mime's name simply refers to {{wp|mime}}s. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''barrier'' and ''weird'' - indicating its ability to erect invisible walls - or ''barrier'' and ''barricade''.

Differences between the Pokémon games and animated series

2011-05-13T10:10:11Z

Zubat: /* Most notable differences */ says who? removing speculation

The [[Pokémon anime]] can often differ to the [[Pokémon games]]. While the games tend to dictate the venues and main events that occur within the anime, and tend to correspond on basic information, there are many noticeable differences or contradictions that can be seen between the two medias.

==Most notable differences==
* Pokémon with colors different from their normal or {{Shiny}} ones appear in the anime, though Pokémon with the official Shiny colors do appear.
* {{pkmn|egg|Eggs}} have a different appearance depending on the Pokémon species that is inside of the egg. This is debatable however, due to the appearance of differently colored eggs in the [[Generation II]] instruction manuals. An example of this would most notably be {{TP|Misty|Togepi's|Togetic}} egg's blue and red triangles, mimicking {{p|Togepi}}'s physical appearance.
**Somehow, even with the hint of the egg's appearance looking like the Pokémon inside, the characters never seem to know what it will be.
[[File:Buneary Heart Seal.png|thumb|200px|Contests are different in the anime from the games.]]
* In the anime, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are not forced to wait for the other Pokémon to make a move.
* Pokémon can have more than four moves in the anime, and are not required to forget an old move in order to learn a new one (although some of the moves a Pokémon is shown using when first introduced will generally fall into disuse as the Pokémon learns more powerful moves as the series continues).
* [[Egg move]]s, which a Pokémon has to be [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] (and therefore born) with are able to be picked up naturally as the Pokémon grows (the most obvious example being [[Ash's Pikachu]] learning {{m|Volt Tackle}} 424 episodes after its first appearance).
* The [[Pokémon League]]s feature a [[Pokémon League Conference|tournament]] rather than a just battling five trainers straight to become Champion. Trainers may just also challenge the current Champion, as seen in several of [[Cynthia]]'s battles in the anime.
* In the anime, there can be more than the 8 usual [[Gym]]s in each [[region]]. However, Ash only ever faces the ones from the games, with the others challenged by Rivals.
* Multiples of each [[legendary Pokémon]] have been sighted. In the games, it's only one per game. This also states that the legendary Pokémon in the anime have the ability to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, contrary to the games.
**However, game canon seems to imply that more exist, but the player only ever encounters one, while breeding in captivity, rather than the wild, may be awkward for legendaries much as it is for some species of animal, such as {{wp|echidna}}s or {{wp|panda}}s.
* [[Starter Pokémon]] can be found in the wild in the anime. In the games, players can only receive one from the regional professor. They must [[trade]] to obtain others.
* In battles in the anime, moves can be used together to make a totally [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|new move]].
* In the anime, characters change their clothes when they go swimming. However, when a player {{m|Dive|dives underwater}} in the games, the player is still wearing their normal outfit.
* In the anime, [[Pokémon contests]] have an appeal round where contestants show off a combination of moves, while in the games, there isn't one. The second round is different as well. Contestants battle each other in the anime while in the games, contestants show off only one move to the judge and are able to affect the other contestants' Pokémon (Hoenn Contest only).
* In the anime, the Trainer can order their Pokémon to dodge attacks, regardless of the accuracy of that move in the games. Additionally moves that normally cannot miss in the games, such as {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Shock Wave}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, can miss.
* [[HM]]s are shown as regular moves in the anime, yet they are not used as tools for certain situations like in the games.
* [[TM]]s do not seem to exist. Instead, TM-exclusive moves must be taught to the Pokémon over a period of time.
* Locations are not the same between the anime and the game. Multiple locations are added to [[region]]s to carry out plots in the anime.
* Regular [[Poké Ball]]s are generally used to catch Pokémon. In the games Pokémon Trainers use different kinds of Poké Balls to catch Pokémon. The only other Poké Ball types seen in the anime were the Safari Ball, Lure Ball, Fast Ball, Heavy Ball, and Master Ball.
[[File:Bulbasaur Whirlwind.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Bulbasaur}} cannot learn {{m|Whirlwind}} in the games]]
* Occasionally the anime shows Pokémon using moves they cannot learn in the games, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] using {{m|Whirlwind}} in its first appearance.
**However, some of these cases may be attributed to a translation error or a misinterpretation. Examples include Ash telling Pikachu to use "electric attack" when he could just mean to use an electric attack, or Pokémon using basic attacks like Tackle or Headbutt simply because they are just simple attacks.
* Pokémon using a technique that normally cannot affect the enemy Pokémon's type in the games, such as with {{AP|Pikachu}} most notably who had occasionally been able to affect {{type2|Ground}}s with Electric attacks which it can't do in the games.
* Like people, Pokémon can be worn out from constant battling and eventually collapse from exhaustion which is something that can't happen in the games. However, a Pokémon that runs out of {{PP}} in every move can faint from the [[recoil]] damage of {{m|Struggle}}.
* Official Gym and League battles set limits on how many Pokémon a Trainer can use to fight with, whereas in the games only facilities like the [[Battle Tower]] set limits.
* All official Pokémon Trainer battles in the anime have a judge, who sets the rules and referees the battle, and is able to declare when a Pokémon is unable to battle which would eliminate that Pokémon from the match. In the games however, aside from a battle facility match, any Pokémon that fainted can be revived and used again in battle as long as the Trainer has at least one Pokémon left.
* Pokémon have the right to decide if they want to evolve, and can choose if they don't want to evolve, where in the games the Pokémon only evolves when the player wishes it to once the requirement has been met. Notable examples are Ash's Pikachu and Bulbasaur, {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]], and [[Dawn's Piplup]].
* Pokémon in the anime occasionally undergo changes in their personality when they evolve. In the games, their [[Nature|personality]] remains the same after evolution.
* In the anime, some Pokémon that have been recently captured or evolved disobey their Trainer until that Trainer is able to find a way to get through to them with the prime example being [[Ash's Charizard]]. In the games only traded Pokémon disobey their Trainer until Badges that can neutralize this problem are acquired.
* It is possible in the anime to render moves harmless in an unorthodox way which is not possible in the games. Sometimes this is used to counter type disadvantages. One example is with Ash's Pikachu during its battle against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}}, where Pelipper used {{m|Steel Wing}} to attract Pikachu's electricity and divert it into the ground to render it useless.
* The [[Cry|cries]] in the regular games differ significantly from the cries in the anime. An exception is {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}, which actually says its name when interacted with or when called into battle.
*Some towns and other locations also differ between the anime and the games. In the anime, the [[Whirl Islands]] are populated, but in the games they are just a series of caves. Also, [[Littleroot Town]] is shown to be a coastal town in the anime; in the games it is surrounded by woodland on all sides. In addition, the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the anime is depicted as a beach resort town with a warm climate, while in the games the Seafoam Islands are depicted as a location of icy caverns.
* In the games, evolutionary methods revolving around leveling up usually occur after a battle, while in the anime these kinds of evolution can occur during a battle or a serious situation. One example is when Ash's Chikorita evolved into {{AP|Bayleef}} to protect him from Team Rocket.

Zubat:

farfetch'd should get an evolution

exeggutor needs some love, he got screwed by the special split and the addition of dark and steel

adding any new types would probably be a bad idea, especially "Light Type", which you sometimes hear people talk about, usually as sort of a counterpart for dark type. Unless light type is gonna be "light" in the sense of, like, a lightbulb or a flashlight or the sun, then this is stupid. Dark Type is not "Evil Type", it is more like literally "darkness" type, or "sneaky type". dark type moves are more underhanded than evil.

Zubat: don't feel like getting into an edit war over something so ludicrous. the pokemon cartoon is BASED on the pokemon games, so any inconsistencies are on the part of the cartoon, not the games

'''Wynaut''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソーナノ''' ''Sohnano'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Wobbuffet}} starting at [[level]] 15.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wynaut is a small, cyan-colored Pokémon with a balloon-shaped body. Wynaut has a black tail with an eye-spot on it that looks similar to the design of {{p|Unown}}. It has a pair earlike arms on the sides of its head. There is a round, bulbous growth on Wynaut's forehead. Its face, as with Wobbuffet, is an east Asian [[:wikipedia:emote#Asian_style|emote]].
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Wynaut is somewhat skilled at {{m|counter}}ing enemy attacks, although doesn't do so as well as {{p|Wobbuffet}} can. Like Wobbuffet, Wynaut are incapable of harming foes outside of counterattacks. Wynaut have high endurance, which they hone by squeezing up against one another on moonlit nights.

===Behavior===
Wynaut are always smiling, even when they're not happy. As a result, it communicates its emotions through its tail. If a Wynaut is slapping the ground with its tail, it is angry. On moonlit nights, hordes of Wynaut will gather to squeeze up against one another. The intent of this activity is to strengthen their endurance and allow for more powerful counterattacks. They are drawn to fruit gardens by the scent and will pick fruit with their earlike arms.
===Habitat===
[[File:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Wynaut is only found on [[Mirage Island]], where it is the sole species. It is unknown why Wynaut only appear there. Mirage Island is also the only place the [[Liechi Berry]] is found naturally. This leads to the theory that they need to feed on the Liechi Berry to survive in the wild.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It loves eating sweet fruit. The fragrance of a fruit garden will attract Wynaut in large numbers.

==In the anime==
[[File:Wynaut.png|thumb|right|The recurring Wynaut]]
===Major appearances===
Wynaut first appeared in ''[[PK12|Camp Pikachu]]''. This Bright Pokémon helped {{AP|Pikachu}} and co. help the [[Pichu Brothers]] get to the next train to [[Big Town]].

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

In ''[[AG113|Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?]]'', a plan of [[Team Rocket]]'s backfired and sent everyone to [[Mirage Island]]. The only inhabitants of this island were none other than Wynaut, though it wasn't seen by any of the human characters other than {{an|May}} and [[Drew]].

===Minor appearances===
A Wynaut was seen among other baby Pokémon in ''[[DP190|The Brockster Is In!]]'', and, like the others, was nursed back to health by {{an|Brock|Brock's}} newly-evolved [[Brock's Chansey|Chansey]].

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG113|Wynaut|May's Pokédex|Wynaut, the Bright Pokémon. Wynaut are the pre-evolved form of {{p|Wobbuffet}}. They travel in herds and at {{DL|Time|night}}, and retire to caves where they sleep together in groups.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
A Wynaut first made a cameo as one of the many trainer-owned Pokémon who were transported to stop {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}'s rampage in {{PAV|14}}. Later, many wild Wynaut made an appearance in the [[Mirage Island]], where {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} trained for the upcoming battle against [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]].

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

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

==Trivia==
[[File:Beta Wynaut.png|thumb|right|A green Wynaut|200px]]
* In [[Generation III]], Wynaut is the only baby Pokémon found in the wild in the games, on [[Mirage Island]]. Oddly, in [[Generation IV]], Wynaut is the only baby Pokémon that ''can't'' be found in the wild.
* Early Beta screenshots show that Wynaut was originally supposed to be green.
* Wynaut and {{p|Azurill}} are the first two Pokémon which are only breedable from their evolved forms if the parent is holding a certain [[incense]].
** They are also the only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} related to Pokémon of a previous generation.
* Wynaut is one of the two baby Pokémon that evolves at a specific level that does not evolve at level 30, the other being {{p|Tyrogue}}.
* Wynaut is the only baby Pokémon that evolves at a specific level and requires an incense in order to be bred.
* Wynaut is one of the few [[Generation III]] Pokémon who made a debut before the [[Advanced Generation series]].
* Although its Pokédex entry in Ruby states that it is always seen with a big, happy smile, it has been mistakenly shown without a smile several times in the anime.

===Origin===
Like its evolution, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, Wynaut is probably based on an {{wp|Okiagari-koboshi}} doll, a Japanese traditional doll with squinted eyes that stands back upright when pushed over. It is a symbol of perseverance.

====Name origin====
Wynaut's name is pronounced identically to the phrase "Why not?" ''Sohnano'' is '''almost''' homophonous with the phrase そうなの ''sō na no'', which means "really?", with only a difference in tone. This name, when paired with the Japanese name of its evolution, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, ソーナンス ''Sonans'', makes for a potential perpetual conversation of "really?" followed by "that's the way it is," and so on, as seen in ''[[PK12|Camp Pikachu]]''.

'''Fly''' (Japanese: '''そらをとぶ''' ''Fly'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[HM02]] in all generations.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation I====
On the turn that Fly is selected, the user will fly up high, where the only attacks it cannot avoid are {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Swift}}, and {{m|Transform}}. On the following turn, Fly will inflict damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Fly is selected, the user will be unable to switch out unless Fly is disrupted or fully executed.

If Fly is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the opponent uses {{m|Mirror Move}} during the turn that the user flies up high, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Fly (or fail if it cannot).

Full {{status|paralysis}} and self-inflicted damage due to {{status|confusion}} will disrupt Fly. Additionally, if the user is fully paralyzed during the mostly-invulnerable turn of Fly, the mostly-invulnerable part will not be reset until the user switches out or fully executes Fly.

In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Fly will allow the user to avoid {{m|Bide}}. Full {{status|paralysis}} will reset the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly. {{m|Mirror Move}} will copy Fly on either of the turns it takes to execute.

====Generation II====
Same as Generation I, but the user cannot avoid {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, or {{m|Whirlwind}} during the semi-invulnerable turn, and will receive double damage from Gust and Twister, unless the flying Pokémon would not receive damage from the moves.

The user may also be hit in the air if it was previously targeted by {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}}, and then struck the following turn. Swift, Bide and Transform no longer hit on their own during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.

====Generation III====
Same as Generation II, but the user is now unable to avoid {{m|Sky Uppercut}} whilst flying up high.

====Generation IV====
Same as Generation III, however, the base [[power]] has [[List of modified moves|increased]] to 90, instead of 70.

====Generation V====
Fly can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[triple battle]]s.

===Outside of battle===
[[Image:Fly_demo.gif|right|thumb|250px|'''Fly''' in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]].]]
Players can fly to select spots they've been to; other than the [[Johto Battle Frontier]], which can automatically be accessed after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.

The player usually lands outside the entrance to the area's [[Pokémon Center]]. The only exceptions are [[New Bark Town]], [[Littleroot Town]], [[Twinleaf Town]], [[Nuvema Town]] (where the player lands outside the player's house), [[Pallet Town]] (where the player lands outside {{ga|Red}}'s house), the Regional [[Pokémon League]] (where the player lands at the entrance to the main building), Sinnoh [[Pal Park]] (where the player lands at its entrance), [[National Park]] (where the player lands outside the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]), {{ka|Victory Road}} (where the player lands outside the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]]), the [[Lake of Rage]] (where the player lands outside of the [[Fishing Guru]]'s house{{sup|HGSS}} or in the open{{sup|GSC}}), and [[Unity Tower]] (where the player lands in front of the tower).

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Charizard uses Fly as its Up Special move. It rotates in the air while gaining height, damaging nearby enemies. It acts as a recovery move for returning to the stage.

==Trivia==
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, {{p|Charizard}} dives on the ground on the second turn of Fly.
* As of [[Generation V]], Fly is one of four [[HM]] moves that can be learned by level-up; the other three are {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Waterfall}} and {{m|Dive}}.
** The {{p|Salamence|two}} {{p|Rayquaza|Pokémon}} that learn it this way are dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation III]].
** Fly is also the only one of the four mentioned that was an HM in all generations.
* Many Pokémon which are noted for their ability to fly over long distances are unable to learn this move, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. Likewise, many Flying-types cannot learn this apparently due to their size ({{p|Drifloon}}) while their evolutions can, while others can learn it despite their size (Such as {{p|Pidgey}}, who is 1'0").
* {{p|Doduo}} and {{p|Dodrio}} are both able to learn Fly, despite not having any wings. This is because the Japanese name for the move can also be translated as "sky jump", and both are known for their prowess at jumping.
** However, {{p|Blaziken}}, another flightless bird known for its prowess at jumping, cannot learn this move.
* Until Generation III, the only Pokémon able to learn Fly (with the exception of Mew, who can learn any TM and HM move) were Flying-type Pokémon.
* Despite the abundance of {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon, not a single Bug Pokémon (excluding {{p|Arceus}} holding the Insect Plate) could learn Fly until [[Generation V]].
** Even then, the only Bug Pokémon that can learn Fly are {{p|Volcarona}} and {{p|Genesect}}, neither of which are Flying-type.
*** {{p|Yanmega}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold}} states that it is capable of carrying a human, but cannot learn the move.
* Fly cannot travel between even the closest of areas in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], despite being able to fly over either of the regions. This is most evident at [[Mt. Silver]] and {{rt|27|Kanto}}. However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, any area in either region can be flown to from [[Indigo Plateau]] and {{rt|26|Kanto}}.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. However, its type will change when it is holding one of sixteen items known as [[plates]] and can in reality be any type.

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed by the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August 3rd, 2009.

Arceus is also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]]. Arceus can only be found in the wild legitimately with the [[Azure Flute]], which has not yet been distributed [[Nintendo event|officially]] and can currently only be obtained by cheating. However, Arceus itself was distributed via multiple Nintendo events in 2009 and 2010.

Arceus is the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] within [[Generation IV]].

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

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

====Special abilities====
[[File:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[creation trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them.

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

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

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

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

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

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates, but is seen in the games holding a Rowap Berry.

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

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

Arceus makes a cameo in the opening ''[[The Greatest - Everyday!]]'' and ''[[We Will Carry On]]'', along with the [[creation trio]].

==In the manga==
[[Image:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Arceus as it appears in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Arceus and the Jewel of Life===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

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

A few rounds later, it is revealed that it showed up in front of {{adv|Crystal}} and the [[Team Rocket]] Executives, and the former tried to catch it.

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

[[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|{{pkmn2|Shiny}} sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second-highest level Pokémon available for capture in the wild, after the {{p|Magikarp}} in the [[Resort Area]] in {{game|Platinum}} (which can be caught at any level). However, the [[Azure Flute]] needed to encounter it has never been made officially available.
* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. Before it was officially revealed, fans pronounced it as "AR-see-uss", as does [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Then, a promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' pronounced it as "Ar-SAY-us". Its official pronunciation was then revealed in a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag as "ARK-ee-us". Its original pronunciation is still in popular usage.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon.
** In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
**It is also the only event Pokémon with a Base Stat Total above 600.
* All Generation IV games have sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
**{{m|Judgment}} is similar to {{p|Genesect}}'s signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}, as it changes with the held item of the Pokémon.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all, nor can it learn hand-based or arm-based moves.
* Holding the [[Toxic Plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]], needing the [[Azure Flute]] to be encountered in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake guardians|different]] [[creation trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* The ring around Arceus's body appears to have a malevolent counterpart in the embodiment of the [[Red Chain]], as a red version of it is shown to ring Dialga and Palkia around the middle when [[Cyrus]] takes control of them in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''
* Arceus is one of three Pokémon that can learn all of the moves ever obtainable as [[HM]]s. The two others are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Smeargle}}.
* Arceus is the one who is rumored to have prevented all Pokémon in the future from disappearing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. Dialga explains that it "was no miracle" that they were saved, and that a "greater power" saved them all. Arceus is the leader of the creation trio, of which Dialga is a member.
* In Generation IV an Arceus using {{m|Trick}} would always fail, making the move completely useless on Arceus. However this was fixed in Generation V so that Trick will only fail if a plate is held.
* {{p|Genesect}} and Arceus are the only Pokémon who can minimally change their color scheme according to the item they're holding.

===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. The conception of the first god might be influenced from {{wp|Kunitokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who, according to {{wp|Shinto}} myth, summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity. Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) the bodhisattva {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a {{wp|Chenrezig|white four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form). Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''. Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest). Another theory may be the combination of Zeus and Ra spelled backwards (Zeus being the king of gods and Ra being the solar god and creator, albeit in different pantheons). Those two qualities are shared by the Pokémon. Also, Arceus can also be derived from ''aureus'' (golden), possibly referring to its hooves and wheel. Nevertheless, Arceus's name origin and possible theories have led fans to believe that Arceus may be in fact a {{wp|creator deity}} in Pokémon form. Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" (or "s" sound) by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" (or "k" sound) in television commercials and in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Its name could also come from arc, as in round/ring, since it's surrounded by one.

Extraterrestrial Pokémon

2011-04-29T21:03:48Z

Zubat: /* Rumored extraterrestrial Pokémon */ slightly seperated cartoon info from original game info

The [[Pokémon world]] is not the only planet with Pokémon on it. There exist several Pokémon that originated outside earth that have migrated there, as well as those who reside in their own [[dimensions]]. Many of these Pokémon can breed with terrestrial Pokémon, and evolve in the same ways. [[Poké Ball]]s and [[item]]s that work on terrestrial Pokémon work just as well on these. These Pokémon have adapted to the place where they landed on earth.

There are also myths involving Pokémon originating outside of the Pokémon world because of their resemblance and relation to extraterrestrial bodies.

==Known extraterrestrial Pokémon==

===#386 Deoxys===
[[File:Deoxys_meteor.png|right|thumb|Deoxys came to earth in a meteor.]]
A space virus fell to earth in a meteor, and was exposed to a laser beam. This caused the virus's DNA to mutate into the Pokémon {{p|Deoxys}}. Upon exposure to a meteorite, Deoxys's [[Form differences#Deoxys|Forme]] will change. Deoxys has four formes, adapted for survivability in the wild, and its specialized formes have some of the highest [[base stats]] of any Pokémon. Its Attack Forme was adapted for combat against Pokémon native to earth, its Defense Forme was useful to protect itself from attack from Pokémon native to earth, and its Speed Forme was useful for fleeing. These formes in combination with its ability to regenerate lost body parts allowed it to survive in an alien world. Because of its exoticness, it is generally asocial. Deoxys is not an unique phenomenon, and it can communicate with others of its kind by creating an aurora.

===#605 Elgyem and #606 Beheeyem===
{{p|Elgyem}} and {{p|Beheeyem}} appeared 50 years prior to the events of {{2v|Black|White}} in the [[Desert Resort]]. It is unknown how or why they appeared, and they have not been seen since. This, and their having survived living in an alien world for 50 years, can be explained by their ability to rewrite the memories of the people and Pokémon around them. They survive hostile encounters by using their {{t|psychic}} powers to confuse opponents. Presumably because of the presence of {{type|Dark}} Pokémon like {{p|Sandile}} and {{p|Scraggy}} in the desert, they are no longer found there, and have relocated to high up in the [[Celestial Tower]] and [[Unova Route 14]], respectively, where there is not a Dark-type to be found. These Pokémon are based on {{wp|Area 51#UFO and other conspiracy theories concerning Area 51|alien conspiracies surrounding Area 51}} and the {{wp|Roswell UFO incident|Roswell incident}}.

==Rumored extraterrestrial Pokémon==

===#173 Cleffa, #035 Clefairy, and #036 Clefable===
[[File:MtMoonSquareHGSSS.png|right|thumb|Clefairy dance in a ring at [[Mt. Moon Square]] every Monday night.]]
The star-shaped {{p|Cleffa}} are said to have come to earth on meteorites. Wherever a meteorite lands, there is always a Cleffa near. Cleffa and their evolved forms, {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}, dance in a ring on Monday nights, nights with a full moon, and on nights when meteor showers occur. Notably, the legends do not mention Clefairy or Clefable coming to earth on meteorites- only Cleffa. It still means that Clefairy and Clefable are extraterrestrial by extension, however.

In the Pokémon cartoon Clefairy have been shown to be [[EP062|capable of constructing]] [[EP246|aircraft and runways]], which could offer another explanation for their origins.

The manga chapter ''[[ET10|Clefairy in Space]]'' from [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] revolves around the idea that Clefairy are extraterrestrials.

===#120 Staryu and #121 Starmie===
{{p|Starmie}} are said to be extraterrestrials because they are star-shaped and they emit radio signals into space at night. {{p|Staryu}} gather at night and flash their red cores to communicate with the stars.

===#151 Mew===
Mew is said to be the ancestor of all Pokémon. Due to this, and the number of extraterrestrial Pokémon that have been discovered, it is possible that Mew inhabit other areas of the universe, and it is equally possible that they originate from a world other than [[Pokémon world|Earth]]. It should be noted that Mew have been [[Pokémon Theme|shown to be capable of flying through the vacuum of space]].

===#337 Lunatone and #338 Solrock===
{{p|Lunatone}} and {{p|Solrock}} are said to have come from space and to be from the moon and sun, respectively, from which they gain power. They are both known as "Meteorite Pokémon," as they were discovered [[Meteor Falls|near meteorites]].



===#646 Kyurem===
An old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]] states that {{p|Kyurem}} fell to [[Giant Chasm]] in a meteor, and began taking Pokémon and people from [[Lacunosa Town]] at night for food. It is for this reason that the people of Lacunosa Town constructed a wall to keep Kyurem out, and stay inside their homes at night. In the middle of Giant Chasm is a small pond in a crater where the meteorite supposedly fell, and examining it will cause Kyurem to cry out and cause a blizzard in the area.

==Pokémon that live in their own [[dimensions]]==
===#201 Unown===
[[Image:Alternate_dimension.jpg|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Unown}} in their dimension]]
In the anime, {{p|Unown}} have their own [[alternate dimension]]. Unlike in the games, it is a rare occurrence to see an Unown outside of this dimension, and something has been amiss every time.
===#483 Dialga===
{{p|Dialga}} lives in its own dimension, from which it governs temporal matters. This dimension collided with Palkia and Unown's dimension in ''[[M11|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', and thinking that {{an|Palkia}} was trespassing, the legendary Pokémon began to clash. In {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}} and {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]] summons Dialga from its dimension to [[Spear Pillar]] using the [[Red Chain]]. In Platinum, a portal to Dialga's dimension appears at Spear Pillar if the {{player}} has the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Adamant Orb}}. Notably, this portal will never appear at the same time as the portal to Palkia's dimension.
===#484 Palkia===
{{p|Palkia}} lives in its own dimension, from which it governs spatial matters. This dimension collided with Dialga and Unown's dimension in ''[[M11|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', and thinking that {{an|Dialga}} was trespassing, the legendary Pokémon began to clash. In {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pearl|s}} and {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]] summons Palkia from its dimension to [[Spear Pillar]] using the [[Red Chain]]. In Platinum, a portal to Palkia's dimension appears at Spear Pillar if the {{player}} has the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}}. Notably, this portal will never appear at the same time as the portal to Dialga's dimension.
===#487 Giratina===
{{p|Giratina}} lives in a parallel dimension of {{wp|antimatter}}. In the anime, this dimension is the [[Reverse World]]; in the games, it is the [[Distortion World]]. In both dimensions, the normal rules of time and space do not apply. When it is not in this dimension, Giratina assumes its {{DL|Form differences|Giratina|Altered Forme}}, however, holding the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}} reverts it to its Origin Forme. Because the other dimensions are inextricably linked with Giratina's dimension, Giratina will viciously defend its world if events in other dimensions threaten it.
===#493 Arceus===
{{p|Arceus}} lives in a high dimension, from which it stands guard over the entire [[Pokémon world]], and will wake from its slumber to save it from annihilation. In the games, this dimension is the [[Hall of Origin]]. The only way to get there is by blowing on the [[Azure Flute]], at [[Spear Pillar]], the highest point in [[Sinnoh]].

Grass (type)

2011-04-22T17:12:45Z

Zubat: /* Defense */

{{ElementalTypes}}
The '''Grass type''' (Japanese: '''くさタイプ''' ''Grass type'') is one of the seventeen [[elemental type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Grass-type Pokémon are [[Erika]] of [[Celadon City]], [[Gardenia]] of [[Eterna City]], and [[Cilan]] of [[Striaton City]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Grass-type moves were special.

}}

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

Defensively speaking, against most types, the Grass type is risky to use. {{type2|Ice}} moves (and to a lesser extent {{type2|Fire}} moves) are commonly carried by special attackers. It is also weak to {{type2|Flying}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves. Given all of this, along with their exposure to a majority of the types (five, tied with Rock-types), Grass-types are difficult to switch into play. Most of their resistances are of little use. For example, {{type2|Water}}s are able to use Ice Beam, which can cripple Grass-types. They are resistant to Ground but many of them are half Poison-type, which would neutralize their resistance to the powerful and popular {{m|Earthquake}}. Almost every Electric-type can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}}.

In spite of their defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass-types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{m|Synthesis}}, among other disabling moves. This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of their team, and can make them difficult to faint. In addition, a particular asset of this type is being the only one immune to Leech Seed. However, it can be affected by Leech Seed if the previous Pokémon was seeded and has {{m|Baton Pass}}ed into a Grass-type Pokémon. Also, resistances to Water, {{t|Electric}} and even {{type2|Ground}} help the Grass type to block common moves.

===Offense===

Offensively, Grass-types have problems. The main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the other moves. Other problems are that {{t|Grass|too}} {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful. Even then, most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}} requires a turn to recharge after being used. And the ones that have no drawbacks are rarely known. Making matters worse, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type2|Normal}} moves. (As seen in Pokémon such as {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Sunflora}}). Another problem is that double resistances to Grass are extremely common, even more so than double weaknesses, and the ability {{a|Sap Sipper}}, which several Pokémon have, negates Grass-type attacks, raising Attack whenever hit with one.

Grass-type Pokémon seem to be affected by [[weather conditions]] more than most other Pokémon, due to their closeness with plants and nature. Most power up under {{m|Sunny Day|intense sunlight}}, while a few others work best under other conditions. Pokémon such as {{p|Ludicolo}} in {{m|Rain Dance|heavy rain}}, {{p|Cacturne}} in {{m|sandstorm}}s or {{p|Abomasnow}} in {{m|hail}}storms are such Grass-types.

When used in contests, Grass-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 75 Grass-type Pokémon or 11.56% of all Pokémon, making it the fourth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* The Grass type is tied with the {{type2|Rock}} for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. Coincidentally, Rock is super effective against all of Grass's weaknesses except for Poison.
* The Grass type has been paired with every type that it is super effective against.
** Grass is paired with 14 of the 17 types, including itself. The only types that have yet to be paired with Grass are {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ghost}}, and {{t|Dragon}}.
* All Pokémon that have seven weaknesses are partially of the Grass type.
* There is at least one Pokémon with each type combination that has a double weakness to Grass. For example, {{p|Omanyte}} is {{2t|Water|Rock}}, {{p|Whiscash}} is {{2t|Water|Ground}}, and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} types are the most plentiful.
** This trait is also shared with {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Grass is the only starter type that doesn't have its own variation of {{m|Eruption}}. Fire has Eruption, while Water has {{m|Water Spout}}.
* Grass has been resisted by the most types, having the {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Poison}} types resist it, as well as resisting itself.
* The {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Foongus}} families are the only Grass type Pokémon that aren't at least somewhat green, or do not evolve to or from a Pokémon or have a shiny or alternate form that is.
** Coincidentally, they are both based on fungi instead of plants.
* The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by [[evolutionary stone]]s, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, {{evostone|Sun Stone}}, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, and {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

Dark (type)

Zubat: /* Offense */

{{ElementalTypes|dark}}
The '''Dark type''' (Japanese: '''あくタイプ''' ''Evil type'') is one of the seventeen [[elemental type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Dark-type Pokémon are [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Grimsley]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has never had a [[Pokémon Gym]] specialize in it. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Dark-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

===Defense===

Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Drapion}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{p|Mandibuzz}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}. Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of the Dark-type is that they are immune to {{type2|Psychic}}s. However if a Psychic/Dark type were to be together, then it will have no resistances.

===Offense===

Dark-type moves, when combating Psychic-types, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Defense (an already low stat among Psychic-types), {{m|Bite}} causes {{Status|flinch|Flinching}}, {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high [[critical hit]] ratio while {{m|Pursuit}} hits Pokémon as they switch for double damage. Many Dark-type moves also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item, and {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves.

Even though the Dark type was considered a [[special move|special type]] prior to [[Generation IV]], the three Dark-type moves that are currently special ({{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Snarl}} and {{m|Night Daze}}) were introduced after [[Generation III]], meaning that all Dark-type moves that were once special moves are now all [[Physical move]]s.

When used in contests, Dark-type moves typically are of the [[Smart Contest|Smart]] category, but can also fall in any of the other four Contest categories.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 39 Dark-type Pokémon or 6.01% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{t|Electric}} type as the twelfth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* Because of {{m|Bite}}'s change to Dark from the {{type|Normal}} in [[Generation II]], there has been at least one Dark-type move introduced in each generation. Despite this, there is not a Dark-type Pokémon from each generation; Dark is the only type not assigned to a Pokémon introduced in Generation I. This is the opposite situation to the other type introduced in Generation II, {{t|Steel}}.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark type. Despite this, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.
* Generation V introduced the most Dark-type Pokémon, introducing 16 of the 39.
* So far, 9 Dark-type moves has been shown in the anime, the least of all elemental types.
*All non-legendary pure Dark-type Pokémon are based off of fox, dog, or cat-like creatures.

Zubat: /* Offense */

{{ElementalTypes|dark}}
The '''Dark type''' (Japanese: '''あくタイプ''' ''Evil type'') is one of the seventeen [[elemental type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Dark-type Pokémon are [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Grimsley]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has never had a [[Pokémon Gym]] specialize in it. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Dark-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

===Defense===

Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Drapion}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{p|Mandibuzz}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}. Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of the Dark-type is that they are immune to {{type2|Psychic}}s. However if a Psychic/Dark type were to be together, then it will have no resistances.

===Offense===

Dark-type moves, when combating Psychic-types, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Defense (an already low stat among Psychic-types), {{m|Bite}} causes {{Status|flinch|Flinching}}, {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high [[critical hit]] ratio while {{m|Pursuit}} hits Pokémon as they switch for double damage. Many Dark-type moves also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item, and {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves.

Even though the Dark type was considered a [[special move|special type]] prior to [[Generation IV]], the three Dark-type moves that are currently special, ({{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Snarl}} and {{m|Night Daze}}) were introduced after [[Generation III]], meaning that all Dark-type moves that were once special moves are now all [[Physical move]]s.

When used in contests, Dark-type moves typically are of the [[Smart Contest|Smart]] category, but can also fall in any of the other four Contest categories.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 39 Dark-type Pokémon or 6.01% of all Pokémon, making it tied with the {{t|Electric}} type as the twelfth most common elemental type.

|}

==Trivia==
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* Because of {{m|Bite}}'s change to Dark from the {{type|Normal}} in [[Generation II]], there has been at least one Dark-type move introduced in each generation. Despite this, there is not a Dark-type Pokémon from each generation; Dark is the only type not assigned to a Pokémon introduced in Generation I. This is the opposite situation to the other type introduced in Generation II, {{t|Steel}}.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark type. Despite this, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.
* Generation V introduced the most Dark-type Pokémon, introducing 16 of the 39.
* So far, 9 Dark-type moves has been shown in the anime, the least of all elemental types.
*All non-legendary pure Dark-type Pokémon are based off of fox, dog, or cat-like creatures.

The '''House of Memories''' (Japanese: '''たましいのいえ''' ''Soul House''), named '''Soul House''' in [[Generation II]], is a small building located in [[Lavender Town]] in the region of [[Kanto]] during the events of Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|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 trainers found within the House of Memories.
[[File:Soul house inside.png|thumb|left|Inside the House of Memories.]]

==Trivia==
* The gravestones in this building are almost identical to those found in another Nintendo game, {{zw|The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past}}.
* In [[Generation IV]], if the player stays in the House of Memories for too long and then [[Walking Pokémon|talks to their Pokémon]], a message saying that it either "appears somehow sad" or "is trembling with fear" appears, with the Pokémon eventually becoming angry at the player for a time.

Pokémon Trainer

2010-12-14T21:19:34Z

Zubat: /* Background */ little bit of clarification, since this does not happen in the games

:''For the character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] referred to as "Pokémon Trainer," see [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. Series]].''
:''"Trainer" redirects here. For the type of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] card, see {{TCG|Trainer card}}.''
----
[[File:Pokemon trainers.jpg|thumb|Pokémon Trainers ''(clockwise, starting at upper-left)'': a [[Team Aqua]] grunt, {{ga|Blue}}, a [[Team Magma]] grunt, {{ga|May}} and {{ga|Brendan}}]]
A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a person who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for and {{pkmn|battle}}s with Pokémon. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers.

==Background==
Many Trainers leave home at about the age of ten, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon professor]], such as {{prof|Oak}}. Many will travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow - when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a battle.
[[Image:SugimoriTrainers.png|thumb|left|Trainers from different classes: A [[Team Rocket grunts|Grunt]], a {{tc|Lass}}, and a {{tc|Bug Catcher}}]]
Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[caves]], {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their Pokémon of choice, the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even among their classes, Trainers may vary greatly.
[[File:Beginning Trainer kit.png|thumb|240px|right|A Pokédex and set of Poké Balls for a Trainer in the anime]]
Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, he or she awards them a Pokémon League [[badge]]. However, in the Pokémon cartoon, the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a badge for other reasons, since the badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, [[Ash Ketchum]] won several of his early badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle.

Above the level of Gym Leaders are the [[Elite Four]] Trainers and [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. There are also a special class of Trainers known as the [[Frontier Brain]]s, but they are unique to {{game|Emerald}}, {{game|Platinum}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and part of a privately owned institution known as the [[Battle Frontier]], and so may not be recognized by the League. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and can only be challenged if a Trainer has met requirements such as winning eight badges. Should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for him or her to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[villainous team]]s. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

==Super Smash Bros. Brawl==
{{main|Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Red (game)}}
There is a {{player|playable character}} called "Pokémon Trainer" in the game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. His appearance is based on {{ga|Red}}'s [[Generation III]] design, and he uses {{p|Squirtle|me}}{{p|Ivysaur|mb}}{{p|Charizard|ers}} of the [[evolution]] families of the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s to battle against the others.

==As a Trainer class==
In the games, Pokémon Trainer (rendered as "P K M N  Trainer") is used as the Trainer class for certain storyline characters, such as [[rival]]s. In link battles, all players have this Trainer class.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the Pokémon Trainer. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー ''Sā jussai, boku mo watashi mo torēnā.'' "Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."
* Even though it is stated in the anime that a person may not become a Trainer until the age of 10, there are many Trainers in other media that are obviously below the minimum age, such as the {{tc|Twins|Twins Trainer class}} and the {{tc|Tuber|Tuber Trainer class}}.
* In Generation I, opposing Trainers' AI would always choose a move whose type is [[super effective]] against the player's Pokémon, even if the move itself does no damage (using Mist, for example, on a Dragon-type Pokémon), until that move's PP ran out.

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! [[User:Force Fire|Force Fire]] 00:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

== Accent the é ==

It's in the character map at the bottom of the editbox if you can't do Alt 130. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

==Talk Page Comments==
Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's {{bp|talk page|talk page policy}}. Please do not remove any comments in the future.

I don't know how to archive my talk page. If you know how to do it, feel free to do it for me. Rules or not, I don't see how it's a problem if I want to blank this userpage. How does it hurt anything? I won't follow a rule or law that doesn't have any sense or benefit, could somebody explain WHY it's so important to the functioning of Bulbapedia that the pointless messages on this talk page should be archived for posterity. If I was a troll or vandal with multiple admin warnings then it would make sense to preserve those as a warning to future admins in dealing with me. This is not the case, obviously. As I am an extremely obscure user, we should all be content to just leave this thing alone before it turns into an ultimately silly timewasting dispute.

Pokémon

2008-05-03T00:52:50Z

Zubat: /* Species */

[[Image:Pokémon_logo_English.png|200px|thumb|right|The English logo of the Pokémon franchises]]'''Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'', or '''ポケモン''' ''Pokémon'' for short) is a series of video games, now an entire franchise based around those games, that centers around the ability to "catch" and "train" creatures called ''Pokémon'', for which it is named. The term ''Pokémon'' may refer to the video game franchise, an individual Pokémon creature, or a Pokémon species.

==Name and pronunciation==
Pokémon is called "Pocket Monsters" in Japan. This would have been the name when transferred to North America, but "Pocket Monsters" would've caused trademarking problems with {{wp|Monster in My Pocket}}, so Nintendo settled on using the shortened version of the name which is also used in Japan, with the "Poké" coming from pocket and the "Mon" being derived from Monsters.

Due to the accent on the name, Pokémon has a specific pronunciation — ''Poke-Ay-Mon''. The emphasis on the '''e''' is from the accent. Other common mispronunciations include ''Poke-ee-mon'', ''Poke-ay-man'' and ''Pock-uh-mon''.

==Franchise==
Also called '''Pocket Monsters''' in Japan and some other countries, Pokémon is a mega-franchise including [[Pokémon games|video games]], an [[Pokémon anime|anime]], a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Trading Card Game]], a [[Pokémon Special|manga]], a [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game|miniatures game]], and much more merchandise. The concept of Pokémon was first created by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] and all Pokémon games are published by Nintendo Inc., Ltd for their video game systems, including the Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, and Nintendo DS. The games include strategy games and RPGs where the player becomes a "[[Pokémon Trainer]]" who encounters, captures, trains, and collects many Pokémon creatures; puzzle games; and pinball games. They were first released in 1996 in Japan, and were first released in the USA in 1998. Since then, as of May 2005 the Pokémon Franchise has sold more than 140 million units worldwide, second only to [[wp:Mario|Mario]] with more than 182 million units sold worldwide and leaving even [[wp:Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]] and [[wp:Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong]] franchises in the dust with more than 43 million units worldwide each.

==Collectively==
Pokémon inhabit virtually every corner of the [[Pokémon world|world]]: in forests, in deserts, in the sea, in the sky. All Pokémon are hatched from [[Pokémon egg|egg]]s and most can [[Pokémon breeding|reproduce]]. In the wild, Pokémon sometimes fight one another. This can be for play, for food, or for defense. Pokémon can also die.

==Individually==
An individual Pokémon may be [[Wild Pokémon|encountered in the wild]], caught, [[Pokémon training|trained]], and [[Pokémon battle|battled with]]. In the games, individual Pokémon have many characteristics including [[stats]], [[DVs]], species, [[Level]], [[Effort Values|EVs]], [[Nature]], [[personality value]], [[Experience]], and known [[moves]].

==Species==
'''Pokémon species''' are "kinds" of Pokémon, such as {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Zubat}}. Individual Pokémon of certain species can change into some other species by [[evolution|evolving]], such as a Bulbasaur evolving into an {{p|Ivysaur}}. There are currently 492 officially released Pokémon species, while one other species, {{p|Arceus}}, is programmed into [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]] and is widely known by the Pokémon fan community, but has not yet been officially revealed.

Species have certain characteristics inherent to each one. Examples include [[elemental types]], how many [[Effort values|EVs]] are awarded when a Pokémon of the species is defeated, [[base stats]], sprites and [[Alternate coloration|alternately-colored]] sprites, [[moves]] it learns by [[level|leveling up]], use of [[Technical Machine|TMs]] and [[Hidden Machine|HMs]] and by [[Move Tutor]]s, [[experience|base experience]], experience required to level up, and evolution.

In the anime, most Pokémon [[cry|speak through syllables of their name]]. For example, Pikachu can only say the syllables Pi, Ka, and Chu. Some Pokémon, like Salamence and Flygon, make other noises, like roaring or growling. There have been instances of Pokémon being able to speak, most notably [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]], but most of them can only speak telepathically, like Mewtwo and Lucario. Pokemon in the games generally make animal-like noises.

Oftentimes, the name of a species can refer to an individual Pokémon of that species instead. For instance, "Bulbasaur is a {{type2|Grass}}" refers to the Bulbasaur species, but "Bulbasaur uses {{m|Vine Whip}}" refers to a single Bulbasaur.

Initially, when the [[Generation I]] games ([[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]]) were released, there were 151 species of Pokémon ({{p|Bulbasaur}} to {{p|Mew}}). This number grew to 251 with the release of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]] of [[Generation II]] a few years later, adding an additional 100 species ({{p|Chikorita}} to {{p|Celebi}}). [[Generation III]] brought another 135 species ({{p|Treecko}} to {{p|Deoxys}}) to the Pokémon world with the release of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]], bringing the total to 386. The most recent additions, [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], the beginning of [[Generation IV]] introduced 107 new species ({{p|Turtwig}} to {{p|Arceus}}), bringing the grand total to 493.

According to the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], biological taxonomies of cellular and genetic structure have revealed that Pokémon are all actually a single species of life form and that the individual differences between each creature are actually subspecies. The DNA of all Pokémon can be traced back to {{p|Mew}}. (This can also explain why Pokémon can variously interbreed with each other.)

Several games, especially the Red and Blue versions, have featured various hidden in-game [[Glitch Pokémon]], most notably [[Missingno.]] and [['M]]. There have also been glitches found that are unrelated to individual Pokémon, such as [[Glitch City]].
