The '''Week Siblings''' (Japanese: '''曜日兄弟''' ''Weekday Siblings''), also known as the '''Day-of-the-week Siblings''', are seven characters from the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games, {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Each of them appear at a certain location depending on the [[days of the week|day of the week]]. They were one of the original aspects of the game to take advantage of the built-in clock system. The Zephyr Badge must be obtained for the siblings to appear. 

==Locations==
At all times on {{rt|26|Kanto}}, a note in the house of the Week Siblings can be found, saying when and where each will appear. By going to the location on the right day of the week and talking to the Week Sibling, he or she will give players a certain [[type-enhancing item|type-enhancing]] [[held item]]. Each item can only be obtained once. If a Week Sibling is visited after having been met once, he or she will either have no item{{sup/2|GSC}} or, if all Week Siblings have been met at least once, one of [[Julia]]'s [[Ribbon]]s{{sup/4|HGSS}}.

==Trivia==
* Arthur is the only English sibling whose first letter of their name does not match the first letter of their day of the week. Instead, the second syllable of his name, thur, matches the first of his day, Thursday.
**In French, this same relation is taken by Homer on ''Mercredi'' (Wednesday), while in Italian the name ''Ercole'' fits into the middle of the corresponding day of the week, ''Mercoledì'' (Wednesday).
* In Generation II, Santos gives the player a Spell Tag, but in Generation IV, he gives the player a Soft Sand. The "eerie" way that he talks makes sense in Generation II, which fits well with the Ghost-type item that he gives the player, but he still talks the same way in Generation IV, in his eerie style, despite giving a completely different item.
