===Your move: BubbleBeam===
===Character of the day: Volkner===
* '''BubbleBeam''' (Japanese: '''バブルこうせん''' ''Bubble Beam'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was available as [[TM11]] in said Generation and was awarded for defeating [[Misty]].
* Volkner (Japanese: '''デンジ''' ''Denzi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Sunyshore Gym]]. He hands out the {{badge|Beacon}} Badge to Trainers who defeat him. He specializes in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Every Pokémon that learn this move by level gains [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from it.
* At first, Volkner was depressed as he had not had a worthy challenge in a while and was therefore considering challenging the [[Elite Four]]. He also used his spare time to renovate the gym which strained the city's power and caused a blackout.
* BubbleBeam is a variation on the move {{m|Aurora Beam}}
* Volkner made his anime debut in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'' where he, like in the games, has grew bored of challenging trainers so he resorted to giving badges for free. However, with the help of {{Ash}}, Volkner had a change of heart and accepted his challenge.
* This move affects anyone adjacent to the user.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Volkner was rather distant to all the other characters and, again like the games, was bored of battles.
* BubbleBeam has appeared in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] 16 times; first on {{TCG ID|Base Set|Gyarados|6}} from {{TCG|Base Set}}, and most recently on the {{TCG ID|Reshiram EX Strength Deck|Palpitoad|8}} from the Japanese {{TCG|Reshiram EX Battle Strength Deck}}. It Paralyzes the Defending Pokémon with the success of a coin flip.
* Volkner has had one card in the [[Trading Card Game|TCG]] series. His card, {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Volkner's Philosophy|98}}, was part of the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} deck and is a {{TCG|Supporter card}}. Playing it allows the player to discard a card and pick up a card from your deck until you have six cards.
* In Pokémon Black and White, when [[Shauntal]] is battled for a second time, she will occasionally quote a book that she wrote which says,''"'Do you know Thunderbolt?' was his first greeting to me. It wasn't until after we battled that I learned his name was Volkner."''
