Line 8:
For other generations, [[Pokémon/Characters|go here]].
[[File:152-153-
The first of the Johto starters, Chikorita and its evolutions are plant dinosaurs with a pure-Grass typing. Despite being at a distinct disadvantage compared to the other starters when going against the gyms in their debut game, their adorable looks still keep them a popular pick.
Line 19:
* [[Hazel Eyes]]/[[Green Eyes]]
* [[Green Thumb]]
* [[
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Due to lackluster offensive stats and moves, the line is often overlooked for the other grass starters.
* [[Signature Move]]: As a Grass starter, Grass Pledge and Frenzy Plant.
* [[Stone Wall]]
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: Female Meganium have shorter antennae than males.
* [[Turns Red]]: Overgrow boosts Grass-type attacks when health becomes low.
[[File:155-156-
The second of the Johto starters, Cyndaquil is an adorable little shy fire echidna/hedgehog. However, as it evolves, it grows more ferocious; Quilava often attempts to intimidate enemies with the flames on its back, and Typhlosion is incredibly quick-tempered with its tendency to resort to [[Kill It with Fire]].
Line 43:
** Eruption as well since its line and Camurupt are the only non-Legendary Pokémon to learn it by level.
** They were also most commonly associated with Flame Wheel at first, being one of only two lines to learn it (the other being Growlithe). These days not so much, as just about every Fire line with respectable speed can learn it now.
* [[Turns Red]]: Blaze boosts Fire-type attacks when health becomes low.
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Quilava and Typhlosion.
* [[Wicked Weasel]] / [[Weasel Mascot]]: Both Quilava and Typhlosion are fire-breathing ''badgers''.
[[File:158-159-
The final Johto starter, Totodile is a goofy, mischievous crocodile that loves biting whatever they see. Although cute, one must not forget that it evolves into Croconaw, an ill-tempered crocodilian, and finally into Feraligatr, an incredibly ferocious bipedal alligator, which, until Generation V's Serperior, is the largest starter overall.
Line 63:
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Feraligatr's name in French is "Aligatueur", which roughly translates to "Killagator".
** [[Awesome McCoolname]]: And its (much more easily understood) German name is "[[Punny Name|Impergator]]".
* [[Never Smile At a Crocodile]]
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Feraligatr is one of the most useful of the Johto starters, but it is, all in all, an inferior Gyarados.
** They ''do'' get Aqua Jet by breeding, which [[Lightning Bruiser|makes them scary first-strikers with decent physical stats]], and also doesn't have as big of a weakness to Electric-type attacks as Gyarados.
*** In fact, now that Feraligatr has Sheer Force as a Dream World ability, this may well be averted (it will finally be able to distinguish itself better from Gyarados).
* [[Signature Move]]: Yup, Water starter, they get Water Pledge and Hydro Cannon.
* [[Turns Red]]: Torrent boosts Water-type attacks when health becomes low.
* [[Took A Levelof Badass]]: Sheer Force and back on gen 4 its acess to Physical Waterfall and Dragon Dance.
[[File:161-
The first two new non-Starter Pokémon appearing in the Johto `Dex are Sentret and its evolution, Furret. Despite appearing early in the `Dex listing, they are surprisingly rare, only appearing in a handful routes and only capable of appearing when it is daytime in their debut Generation. Despite this, it is often considered to be a sort of a [[Expy]] of Rattata and Raticate, despite Rattata and Raticate themselves reprising the same role they had in Generation I.
Line 84:
* [[Weasel Mascot]]: Well, Ferret, but close enough.
[[File:163-
A pair of owls. In Generation II, they take on the role as [[Com Mons]] during the night, but are nowhere to be seen during the day. Hoothoot is designed with a obvious clock theme and does in

Two Ladybug Pokémon, they are both known as Five Star Pokémon due to the five marks on their backs, but chances are that neither would get a five-star rating on their combat abilities. Ledian, however, does use Starlight as energy. It was exclusive to ''Silver'' and its remake, and even then it's only found in the mornings.
* [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]
* [[Blow You Away]]
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Ledian.
Line 114:
* [[Stone Wall]]: This is what its base Special Defense of 110 is presumably trying to do (as an [[Crutch Character|early game `mon]]), but its poor HP stat mostly mitigates it.
[[File:167-
Spinarak is a Spider Pokémon, and so is its evolution Ariados. Spinarak can (surprisingly enough) emote using the "face" on its back; Ariados, on the other hand, seem to have a static angry face on their backs. It is exclusive to Gold and only found at night.
Line 127:
* [[Four-Legged Insect|Six Legged Arachnid]]
[[File:170-
You know how [[Alluring Anglerfish]] tend to be hideous looking? Well, that doesn't apply to Chinchou and Lanturn. These two cute blue and yellow Water/Electric Pokémon not only use their [[Buffy-Speak|light dangler thing]] to stun their prey, but also use it to communicate and light their way in the dark depths of the ocean.
Line 135:
* [[Light'Em Up]]: And from the deepest depths of the ocean, too!
* [[Making a Splash]]
* [[
* [[Shock and Awe]]
* [[Stone Wall]]: Lanturn. Its Special Attack isn't that terrible (it can even raise it with Charge Beam), but it serves better in this role than trying to play a [[Mighty Glacier]].
Line 141:
* [[Wingding Eyes]]: Chinchou's are plus signs.
[[File:175-176-
<small>''Togekiss debuts in Gen IV''</small>
This evolution line of Normal Pokémon are largely associated with happiness, luck, and peace. They are also incredibly rare; despite having their debut in Generation II, the only place they are found in the wild is Sinnoh and Unova,<ref>''White'' Version only, in White Forest</ref>
* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: Togekiss can learn Air Slash, which has a 30% chance of making the opponent flinch. That gives it a near 110 power attack that has a 60% chance to make the opponent flinch, and works off Togekiss's very high Special Attack to boot. Add in Thunder Wave to paralyze the opponent and let Togekiss get the first attack each round...
* [[Blow You Away]]: Only the evolved forms.
* [[Cool but Inefficient]]: A Togekiss with Ominous Wind, Silver Wind and Ancientpower. 20% chance when attacking of getting a boost to all its stats with Serene Grace, but too low power to do decent damage. Then again, that fourth move slot could be anything you like, be it a higher power move, or Baton Pass...
** Still a problem thanks to unreliability though. 20
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Togepi's the second Generation II Pokémon to appear in the anime after Ho-Oh, becoming a member of the regular cast, even.
* [[Eggshell Clothing]]: Togepi
Line 157:
* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: Togekiss is one of a select few non-Lucario, non-Legendary Pokémon to learn Aura Sphere.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Has good defenses and excellent Special Attack, but subpar Speed.
* [[
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: In this world, they're birds that spread joy and harmony.
* [[Stationary Wings]]: The ''Silver''/''SoulSilver'' Pokédex confirmed that Togetic has these.

Natu and Xatu are Psychic bird Pokémon that have an unusual Native or South American-inspired design to them. Natu's wings are a bit on the small side, so it tends to hop around pecking or just staring at things. Xatu, on the other hand, tend to stay in the same spot, presumably looking into the past and the future simultaneously. They are very useful in supporting other team members with setting up Reflect or Light Screen, or even healing other team members with Wish.

A family of adorable sheep that bear wool with an electric charge to them. They make excellent electric Pokémon in the Gen II games and their remakes due to their high Special Attack stat. Unlike most Electric Pokémon, though, they're a bit on the slow side.
* [[Cartoon Creature]]: Ampharos doesn't quite look like a sheep...
* [[Dub
* [[Light'Em Up]]: Ampharos is known as the "Light Pokémon", and is in fact responsible for keeping the Olivine City Lighthouse in working order.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Mareep" is an anagram of "ampere," which is used to measure electric currents.
** Also, Ampharos is 'amp' (as in, electricity) and 'Pharos' (the lighthouse, a.k.a., one of the Wonders of the Ancient World) combined.

<small>''Azurill debuts in Gen III''</small>
Line 198:
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Once it reaches the Azumarill stage.
* [[Expy]]: A 2-stage family of rodents, that gets a baby form in the following generation, and are pretty much the face of their debut gen. While not quite as blatant as Plusle/Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga, they are very similar to the Pikachu line.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Azumarill, the Aqua Rabbit Pokémon, is a literal example, as of Generation VI. The whole line gained the Fairy type, making them immune to Dragon-type attacks.
* [[Making a Splash]]: Although Azurill is a Normal-type for some reason.
* [[Gender Bender]]:
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Pretty decent defensive stats and an ability that outright DOUBLES your attack? Yeah, it packs a punch.
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]
* [[Super Strength]]: With stat-boosting items, that is the only way to explain why half of the Azumarill have an Attack power beyond most the Legendaries.
* [[Took a Level
** [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Although Huge Power is generally the better ability, since you need to get hit twice with Grass attacks (which won't generally won't happen once that's found out) with Sap Sipper to get a similar level of power a Huge Power Azumarill would have.
* [[This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman]]: Less used during Gen 4 despite its massive power. During gen 5 the sheer prevalence of Excadrill and Ferrothorn gives him a useful niche for stopping Excadrills while doing respectable damage to Ferrothorn. And Rain acess basically gives most Water type a usage reason.
Line 209 ⟶ 210:
* [[Water Is Blue|Water-Types Are Blue]]

Hoppip is, despite its looks, not based on a tomato, something that should become apparent when it evolves into the green Skiploom and later the blue Jumpluff. Instead these Pokémon are based on dandelions - they are very light and can fly on the winds, giving them a Grass/Flying typing.
Line 232 ⟶ 233:
* [[For Massive Damage]]: Ice-type attacks.
* [[Green Thumb]]

* [[Fragile Speedster|Speedy]] [[Stone Wall]]: They're fast and have solid defenses, but their offensive stats are sub-par.

<small>''Ambipom debuts in Gen IV''</small>

* [[Item Caddy]]: Is the Pickup Pokémon with the fastest leveling curve, and Pickup's rewards scale with level.
* [[Non-Elemental]]

* [[Perpetual Smiler]]
* [[Prehensile Tail]]: Not so much "prehensile" as ''having an actual hand at the end of it''. Each of them in the case of Ambipom.

Sunkern is a Sunflower Seed Pokémon. It can evolve into Sunflora using a Sunstone. In Generation II, it is possible to get a Sunstone in the same area that you can catch Sunkern in. This is a good thing, since Sunkern is rather weak (''the'' weakest base stats wise), and will likely need to evolve in order to be useful to your team.
Line 264 ⟶ 265:
* [[Sunny Sunflower Disposition]]
[[File:193-
<small>''Yanmega debuts in Gen IV''</small>
Yanma is a Dragonfly Pokémon that can evolve into Yanmega if it knows AncientPower. They can both send shockwaves out when flapping their wings, although Yanmega's are by far more destructive than Yanma's, capable of causing internal damage to its opponents. Yanmega can also carry adult humans while flying. Despite being a powerhouse in story and certainly having the stats to reinforce it, Yanmega suffers from having an [[Achilles' Heel]] against Rock.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Yanmega is seriously powerful, but its severe weakness to Rock makes it lose 50% of its health at the instant it enters the arena if Stealth Rock is up - and in the standard metagame, Stealth Rock ''will'' be set up sooner or later, if not at the very beginning of a match. As a result, if anyone dares use Yanmega around tournament players, it will be [[Non-Lethal KO|rendered unconscious]] very, ''very'' quickly.
Line 280 ⟶ 281:
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Yanmega.
[[File:194-
Wooper and Quagsire are Mudfish Pokémon based on an animal called [[wikipedia:Axolotl|Axolotl]]. They are not terribly powerful, but with a immunity against electric attacks, an ability to absorb water attacks, and good resistance against fire, they can certainly have their [[Crutch Character|niche]] in a early game team. [[Took a Level
* [[Boring but Practical]]: Even after being [[Overshadowed by Awesome]], Quagsire's still quite useful as an HM slave.
Line 291 ⟶ 292:
* [[Making a Splash]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[
* [[Slippery Soap]]: Their skin works like this.
* [[This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman]]: Quaqsire gets a fair amount of use in ubers for its ability to counter Kyogre fairly easily.
* [[Took a Level

<small>''Honchkrow debuts in Gen IV''</small>
Line 304 ⟶ 305:
* [[Blow You Away]]
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Although Honchkrow mixes it somewhat with [[Mighty Glacier]]. Fans did ''not'' like the speed drop.
* [[Gradual Grinder]]: Murkrow, as of Gen V.
* [[The Mafia]]: Honchrow especially evokes images of this. (Seriously, it's either a Mafia don or [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spr_4p_430_s.png a pimp].)
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[
* [[Pimp Duds]]: Shiny Honchkrow are pink instead of dark blue, which, when combined with the "hat" and the tuft of white feathers on the chest, lead to the name [[Fan Nickname|Pimpkrow]].
** [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Its overall look and the fact that Honchkrow orders Murkrow (who look like "[[Witch with a Capital B|witches]]") around to do its bidding and takes a large cut of what they've found does nothing to disprove the fact that Honchkrow is based on a pimp.
* [[Ravens and Crows]]

<small>''Mismagius debuts in Gen IV''</small>
Line 326 ⟶ 327:
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Mismagius is a solid Pokémon, but Rotom and Dusknoir are better tanks and Gengar could mop the floor with it, thus condemning Mismagius to the UU tier.
** [[Poor Predictable Rock]]/[[Five Moves of Doom|Four Moves of Doom]]: Not helped by the lacking movepool. If you see a Misvdreavus/Mismagius, you know it will be perish trapping (Gen II and III) or using its immunities to set up a substitute, then use the sub to boost stats (Gen IV and V). Or, if in a doubles/triples match, it'll be using Skill Swap to tweak abilities (Gen III onward). It simply has no other viable options.
* [[
* [[Signature Move]]: Pain Split, until the Gen V, could only be naturally learned by Misdreavus.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Though it has good special bulk, its HP and defense are pathetic.
Line 332 ⟶ 333:
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]

You would expect that a Pokémon based on the alphabet would be terribly weak, wouldn't you? And you would be correct.
Unown are terribly weak, with horrendous stats and only one single weak move available. However, in large numbers, they become incredibly powerful [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch]] [[Reality Warper
During Generation IV, a connection between them and [[Pokémon/Characters/Generation IV Families
* [[Confusion Fu]]: In a weird sense, the absolute ''only'' thing it has going for it battle-wise, as it's impossible for opponents to know what attack type Hidden Power will be until it's used. However, since most other Pokemon can learn Hidden Power as well, that's still not much.
* [[Cypher Language]]/[[Wingdinglish]]
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Reality-warping [[Hive Mind]] from [[Another Dimension]]...yeah. The fact that [[God|Arceus]] uses them to create a new [[Physical God|Dialga, Palkia or Giratina]] just adds to this.
Line 352 ⟶ 353:
* [[Signature Move]]: Despite being the move with the largest learnset (as it includes all Pokémon able to learn TMs and Unown), Hidden Power is associated with Unown, mainly due to it being [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|its only move]].

<small>''Wynaut debuts in Gen III''</small>
[[Counter Attack|Counter, Mirror Coat,]] Encore, [[You Will Not Evade Me|Shadow Tag]], [[Taking You with Me|Destiny Bond]], [[Healing Factor|Leftovers]], what more do you need?
Wobbuffet and its baby form Wynaut are a pair of [[Lethal Joke Character
* [[Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance]]: Wobbuffet's basically a ''punching bag''.
Line 366 ⟶ 367:
* [[Eyes Do Not Belong There]]: On their tails. Wobbuffet are said to be very protective of them.
** It's implied that the tail is the actual creature and the punching bag is a defensive body.
* [[Joke Character]]: Wobbuffet was one of these at first, before it had Encore and [[You Will Not Evade Me|Shadow Tag]].
** [[Lethal Joke Character]]: Used right, he can punch out gods. Outright banned from official tournaments as well.
* [[Metal Slime]]: While in the games, it's an arguable case with Wynaut (being found only on one elusive island), the anime plays it straight, as Wynaut manage to avoid being seen by most eyes.
Line 376 ⟶ 377:
* [[Wingding Eyes]]: Pretty much invoked, as their faces are styled after Japanese emoticons.

Girafarig is an unusual Pokémon. It's one of the very few Normal dual-types that's not part Flying. Instead, it's part-Psychic, meaning that it can resist Fighting attacks which are normally super-effective, while also being immune to Ghost moves. It also has a undeveloped head on the end of its tail that is non-sentient, giving it an appearance similar to a pushmi-pullyu.
Line 385 ⟶ 386:
* [[Non-Elemental]]: For some reason, it is not a pure Psychic-type, but is part Normal.
** The giraffe is Normal-type, the tail has psychic powers.
* [[
** Its Dream World ability is Sap Sipper, which allows it to [[
* [[Psychic Powers]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: Its tail looks an awful lot like a [[Super Mario Bros.|Chain Chomp.]]
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Its tail.
[[File:204-
Despite appearing as a pinecone/hand grenade and later as a giant clam-cum-depth charge, it's actually a Bug-type, specifically one based on a bagworm. With its high defenses and a typing that leaves it with a single weakness (which is regretfully a quad weakness), it's a very good choice as a defensive wall.
Line 406 ⟶ 407:
* [[The Unseen]]: the insides of their shells.
[[File:
Most people look at it and ask "what the hell was Game Freak thinking/smoking when they came up with ''that''?" Dunsparce is a based of an cryptid known as a Tsuchinoko: A fat-bellied snake that can jump or roll itself like a hoop to move around. Dunsparce is made even wierder by having a drill as a tail and a pair of tiny wings. It's strange, but it does have its share of fans.
Line 413 ⟶ 414:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Not because of its stats, its because of its (very) odd appearance.
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]
* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: Its stats are nothing to write home about, and it has no evolutions. What it DOES have is a great movepool and access to the
* [[Metal Slime]]: 1% encounter rate outside of swarms. Made worse in Generation IV, where swarms never occur until you've beaten the Elite Four.
** Fortunately in HG/SS, they're quite easy to find in the Dark Cave if you've got Rock Smash.
Line 419 ⟶ 420:
* [[Our Monsters Are Weird]]: Just look at it!
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Its tail is drill-shaped.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Youkai]]: Based on the internationally unknown [[wikipedia:Tsuchinoko|Tsuchinoko]].

<small>''Gliscor debuts in Gen IV''</small>
Line 435 ⟶ 436:
* [[Healing Factor]]: Gliscor's Dream World ability, Poison Heal.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Gliscor has excellent Defense with respectable Speed and Attack, it gets Swords Dance and Rock Polish to boost the latter stats further, and has a pretty nice movepool.
** The typing works as well offensively as it does
** [[Jack of All Trades]] : With the exception of [[Stone Wall]](where it is excellent), Gliscor can perform multitude of roles, but its capability in those other roles are deemed pretty average for its class.
* [[Scary Scorpions]]: And they fly!
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Gliscor.
[[File:209-
Snubbull and Granbull are based on bulldogs, this gardners it some fans or are fans of the [[Ugly Cute]] trope. Otherwise they're pretty unremarkable normal types.
Line 454 ⟶ 455:
* [[Non-Elemental]]:
** [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: Granbull can learn all of the elemental fangs, however.
* [[
** Paralysis, in a sense. Its Quick Feet ability causes its Speed to increase when afflicted by a Status condition, which has the bonus effect of ignoring the speed loss caused by Paralysis. The chance to lose a turn to being paralyzed is still there, though.
* [[Our Fairies Are Different]]: ...Yeah.<ref>This is because they're called the "Fairy Pokémon", as well as being in the "Fairy" egg group, in case you were wondering.</ref>
Line 460 ⟶ 461:
* [[Standard Status Effects]]: Inflicting one on Granbull will make it faster, thanks to its Quick Feet ability.

Here's a Pokémon that receives plenty of discussion from fans for a number of reasons. This creature is supposed to be a scale insect, but it resembles a worm-like creature that lives inside a moon rock. Its stats are a collection of extremes: boasting the highest base defenses of all Pokémon (230, each!), but having the lowest stats in everything else including, sadly enough, its HP. However, this doesn't stop Shuckle from being used by trainers.
* [[Armored But Frail]]: ''The'' most definitive example of this trope, with only 2 Mega Evolved Pokémon equalling its 230 Physical Defense, and only Regice's 200 coming remotely close to its 230 Special Defense. However, Shuckle's incredible defenses are offset by its abysmal 20 HP stat, which ties for third lowest of any Pokémon with the likes of Margikarp, Feebas, and Duskull.
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]
* [[Item Caddy]]: Is the only way you can get Berry Juice,<ref>
* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: It is, in very specialized situations likely to never happen in actual gameplay, capable of doing the highest amount of damage possible for any Pokémon- a hypothetical amount capping at around ''213 million.''
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Gen IV has Shuckle naturally learn Power Trick, which switches its attack and defense stats. Doing this gives it by far the highest attack stats of any Pokémon. [[Who's Laughing Now?]]
** Everyone else, since its still slow as hell.
** This also means that you can now kill it [[Glass Cannon|just by looking at it funny.]]
* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]: Can still learn moves that need super-strength (ex.: Rock Smash) despite being described as having weak and limp muscles.
** However, it still has the worst offensive stats in the game.
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Shuckle currently ties with Mega Aggron and Mega Steelix for the highest Defense of any Pokémon, at a gargantuan 230. Of course, they blow Shuckle out of the water due to better HP, actual offensive utility, and possessing better typing/abilities.
* [[Power Nullifier]]: Learns Gastro Acid, which can remove resistances/immunities and disrupt anything reliant on abilities to be effective.
* [[Stone Wall]]: The definitive one. It has the best defensive stats in the game by a long shot, but it's also absolutely ''pathetic'' in everything else (unfortunately including [[Hit Points]]): Its two defenses make up 91% of its stat total.
* [[Took a Level

A fairly popular Pokémon, Heracross is based on a Kabutomushi, a species of rhinoceres beetle that is popular among the Japanese, who use them in beetle fighting competitions, so it's only natural that a Pokémon would be based on it. It also somehow manages to be obtainable in practically every handheld game since Gold and Silver.
Line 501 ⟶ 505:
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Its fondness for tree sap.
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]
* [[Took a Level
** Ironically, Heracross is considered a huge threat during its debut generation and third generation, some actualy Banned it during third gen and for logical reason. It took a level in Badass with the addition of Close Combat and Choice Scarf to the arsenal. However, the metagame around it simply isn't kind to Heracross leading to its downfall.

<small>''Weavile debuts in Gen IV''</small>
Line 516 ⟶ 520:
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Pretty high Attack and Speed, but pitiful defenses compounded by their double weakness to Fighting, a very common type.
** [[For Massive Damage]]: As already mentioned, Fighting moves.
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Pickpocket lets them steal enemy items if they make contact; too bad this forces Weavile to go into battle with no item of its own, and nearly any contact move will just KO it.
* [[Signature Move]]: [[Gondor Calls for Aid|Beat]] [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|Up]], despite being able to be bred into other Pokémon.
** [[Good Bad Bugs]]: Said move was the key in exploiting a bug in the second gen games that would yield a Celebi.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Wolverine Claws]]
* [[Youkai]]: Based on the kamaitachi.

Teddiursa is an adorable bear cub that's often depicted as sucking on one of its paws. Naturally it evolves into a terrifying adult bear with the appropriate muscle. Both its normal abilities are activated when it receives a status effect, either raising its attack with Guts or raising its speed with Quick Feet. Either way you're in big trouble when that happens. Strangely enough, it is a version exclusive, but which version depended on the language. It's in the ''Silver'' version in the Japanese games, but ''Gold'' in the North American releases. In stays in ''SoulSilver'' for the remake.
Line 534 ⟶ 538:
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Ursaring pretty much hits (and moves) like a bulldozer.
* [[Non-Elemental]]
* [[
** Ursaring's two non-Dream World abilities allow it to ignore one effect of one status effect each. If it has Guts, it ignores the Attack reducing effect of burns, and Quick Feet allows it to bypass the Speed dropping effect of paralysis. The damage from burns and paralysis's chance to miss a turn are still present, though.

Slugma and Magcargo are gastropods that are found nowhere near any sources of water. This is due to them being made of boiling lava. It's constantly moving because if it stops, then its body would cool down. Magcargo gains a brittle shell of hardened lava that somehow grants it a high defense. Not that it makes a difference since it can be finished off by Ground or Water attacks.
* [[Boring but Practical]]: Not much use in battle but it's easy to find and one of the best ways to hatch eggs quickly.
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: With Magcargo's dex entry stating its body temperature is 18000 °F,<ref>For reference, this is far hotter than the sun</ref>

<small>''Mamoswine debuts in Gen IV''</small>
Line 569 ⟶ 573:
** [[Full Boar Action]]: Piloswine
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Swinub
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Piloswine is slow but strong, although it can use its Ice Shard to get the jump on unsuspecting opponents.
** [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Mamoswine's base speed is 80, which is quite fast (same as its physical defense)
* [[Mix-and-Match Critters]]: Mamoswine is half boar, half woolly mammoth.
* [[Retcon]]: Piloswine became able to evolve into Mamoswine by leveling up while knowing AncientPower, a move it could already learn in earlier generations.

A Pokémon based on stag coral. It's known to have great regenerative powers: unlike real coral which takes decades to grow, Corsola's broken horns can regrow in a single night. However, they need clean water in order to do this, otherwise it gets sickly and die. It appears to have a plucky nature (One of its abilities is Hustle), but it's mostly defensive according to its stats. Just beware of Grass attacks.

Remoraid and Octillery are water types that are well known for being related by evolution despite being very dissimilar to one another. However, they're also well known for shooting things. Remoraid is a remora that vaguely looks like a gun while Octillery is an octopus that vaguely looks like a tank.
* [[Beam Spam]]: Most of their moveset involves projectiles - namely beams<ref>
* [[Confusion Fu]]: Due to the above, Octillery has a surprisingly wide movepool. The only types it can't learn a move for are Ghost, Dragon, Flying and Fighting. If you want to raise your Octillery in a Gen IV game and tutor it Bounce, you can cross Flying off the list too.
* [[Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods]]: Octillery is... [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|well, guess]]. Averted with Remoraid.
* [[An Ice Person|An Ice Pokémon]]: Despite being pure water-types, Octillery and Remoraid can naturally learn Ice Beam and Aurora Beam.
* [[Making a Splash]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Respectable Attack and Special Attack and a versatile moveset, pathetic Speed. Has a touch of [[Glass Cannon]] too since its defenses aren't impressive either.
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Interestingly, Remoraid and Octillery can learn Flamethrower and Fire Blast.
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Both Remoraid and Octillery can learn Psybeam and Psychic.
* [[Required Party Member]]: For Mantyke to evolve, it needs to level-up while a Remoraid is in the party.
* [[Signature Move]]: Octazooka, which is exclusive to Octillery via leveling up.
Line 606 ⟶ 610:
** Another connection: Both remoras and octopi are aquatic animals with suction pads.

An Ice/Flying type that's a cross between a penguin and Santa Claus. It's talented at delivering presents in its tail, which looks like the jolly old elf's bag. What it isn't talented in is battling. The only attack that it learns by leveling is Present, a move exclusive to it that does random amounts of damage or even ''heals'' the target. The only redeeming quality it might have is that it can have Hustle (an ability that boosts damage but lowers accuracy) and can be taught Aerial Ace (a move that never misses and gets a same type attack bonus), but that's only one pro it has agains many cons. It's only found in ''Silver'' and its remake (''Gold'' players get Gligar instead).
Line 618 ⟶ 622:
* [[For Massive Damage]]: You need rock-type attacks.
** [[Kryptonite Is Everywhere]]: When Generation IV had every last person with knowledge of the metagame near obsessed with the move Stealth Rock. Though considering how useless it was considered already, it wasn't hurt much.
* [[Joke Character]]: Yeah, he's down there with Luvdisc.
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Its Dream World Ability is Insomnia, which prevents Sleep - Delibird already had the Vital Spirit ability, [[Department of Redundancy Department|which does the exact same thing]].
Line 625 ⟶ 629:
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Delibird is a one-trick [[A Worldwide Punomenon|poké]] if there ever was one. It can hold a Choice Band (x1.5 to attack, but forces you into a move), use Hustle as an ability (which lowers accuracy and raises Attack), and use Aerial Ace (Always hits), and Brick Break as a side option. Unfortunately, it has absolutely nothing else.

<small>''Mantyke debuts in Gen IV''</small>
Mantine is a Pokémon based on a manta ray that uses its wing-like fins to leap out of the ocean. Its special defense stat is quite high but its typing leaves it open to electric type moves, which undermines its ability as a special wall. It's also the 2nd heaviest Johto Pokémon after Mega Tyranitar, and received a baby in Mantyke. It has a pattern of a smiling face on its back.
* [[Acrofatic]]: Despite its appearance, it weighs a hefty 485.0lbs/220.0kg. It is the heaviest non-Mega Evolved Pokémon from the Johto reigon.
* [[For Massive Damage]]: [[Shock and Awe|*BZZT*]] <ref>[[Don't Explain the Joke|Like Gyarados before it (and Pelipper and Swanna after it)]], Mantine is completely ''wrecked'' by Electric attacks. Unlike Gyarados, Mantine doesn't have a good Attack stat with which to scare Electric-types away by threat of Earthquake. Also, Mantine's Speed stat is just as horrible as Skarmory's is. As such, even the Special-oriented Electric-types can easily switch in safely and then proceed to completely and utterly ''ruin'' Mantine's day.</ref>▼
* [[Blow You Away]]: It's Flying-type, and is known as the "Kite Pokémon". Can now learn Hurricane via TR in ''Sword/Shield''.
* [[Burn It With Fire]]: Subverted; it can't learn any Fire-type moves, but it can use Scald to burn opponents. More like: "Burn It With Boiling Water!"

* [[Stone Wall]]: Mantine tries to be this, it really does. Compared to Skarmory, its stats are inverted, with Skarmory specializing in physical defense while Mantine specializes in special defense. Unfortunately for Mantine, its tanking abilities are [[Overshadowed by Awesome|surpassed by Blissey]], and as a further kick in the face... well, just see [[For Massive Damage]] above.▼
* [[Heal Thyself]]: Can do so quite handily thanks to its Ability, Water Absorb. As of ''Sun/Moon'' however, Mantine can now learn Roost.
* [[An Ice Person]]: As with many Water-types, Mantine can learn Ice Beam and Blizzard.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Give it a Modest nature, Swift Swim, Rain Dance, max Sp.Atk and Speed, and the Waterium-Z crystal, Mantine can easily become this.
* [[Making a Splash]]: Based on a ray, and is part Water-type (naturally).
* [[Rain Dance]]: Mantine can not only learn the move of the same name, but can also take advantage of it if it has Swift Swim.
▲* [[Stone Wall]]: Mantine tries to be this, it really does. Compared to Skarmory, its stats are inverted, with Skarmory specializing in physical defense while Mantine specializes in special defense. Unfortunately for Mantine, its tanking abilities are [[Overshadowed by Awesome|surpassed by Blissey]], and as a further kick in the face... well, just see [[For Massive Damage]] above. That said, in ''Sun/Moon'', Mantine's HP was buffed from 65 to 85.
*[[Took a Level in Badass]]: Started off as a generic, forgettable Water/Flying Pokémon with a limited movepool, and a secondary type it couldn't even use due to its abysmal 40 Attack. However, each new generation gifted Mantine with some new toys to play with, including an Ability that healed it when smacked by a Water move, and another that doubled its Speed in rain, new Water moves to either do damage or to heal itself (via Aqua Ring), Air Cutter via move tutor to give it some Flying-type mileage on the Special side, until it got Air Slash and Scald in Gen V. The apex of Mantine's improvements arrived in Gen VII when its HP was buffed by 20 points, going from a meagre 65 to a more palpable 85, and at long last receiving a reliable recovery move in the form of Roost! Sure, it still won't beat Blissey as a Special wall any time soon, but it's still a far cry from what it was in its debut generation. Finally, Mantine can learn Hurricane via TR (Technical Record) in Gen VIII.
* [[Won't Work On Me]]: Is naturally immune to Ground-type moves, but it can also have immunity to Water if it has Water Absorb.
[[File:
A steel crane (not the machine used in construction, but the bird). After nesting in briars, its skin gets scratched so much that it eventually hardens in metal armor that encases its body. The combination of its typing, Steel/Flying, which leaves with only two special-based weaknesses, and its very high defense stat means that makes for an excellent wall that can shrug off most physical attacks like it was nothing. It's the version counterpart to Mantine.
Line 645 ⟶ 657:
* [[Extra Ore Dinary]]
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: Skarmory is described as an extremely fast flier by the Pokédex, but its Speed stat is really nothing to write home about.
* [[
* [[Razor Wings]]: as such with Steel Wing.
* [[Signature Move]]: most commonly associated with, and also naturally learns, Steel Wing.

** Its Attack isn't ''that'' horrible, but there are plenty of better physical attackers.

These devilish dog Pokémon are, appropriately enough, Dark/Fire types with great special attack and decent speed, attack and special defense. However, by the time they're available to catch, you may have a number of useful Fire and Dark types at your disposal already. But don't let that stop you from using it. This Pokémon is partally based on the Doberman.
Line 658 ⟶ 670:
* [[Animal Talk]]: Subverted. They communicate using barks other Pokemon species and humans can't understand.
* [[Achey Scars]]: The pain from the burns this Pokemon inflicts never goes away. [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|Supposedly.]]
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: They choose their leader by fighting among themselves.
* [[Big Badass Wolf]]
*[[Cast from Hit Points]]: Mega Houndoom gets Solar Power, which boosts its Sp.Atk in intense sunlight, but at the cost of a little HP.
* [[Casting a Shadow]]: Can learn Dark Pulse, which goes great with its special attack.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Like real wolves, they tend to get portrayed in a positive light.
* [[Evil Smells Bad]]: The fire is caused by toxins burning in its body. Unsurprisingly, because of this, the flame smells terrible.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Houndoom's only weak stat is its base 50 Defense; not so much as Mega Houndoom though.
* [[The Grim Reaper]]: Long ago, people imagined its eerie howls to be the call of the Grim Reaper.
* [[Hell Hound|Hell Hound:]] Well, they are demon dogs, after all...
*[[Jack of All Stats]]: Mega Houndoom has a similar stat spread to Darkrai, only with slightly less Speed in exchange for slightly more HP and Sp.Atk.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Houndoom
* [[
* [[Our Demons Are Different]]
* [[Playing with Fire]]
*[[Super Mode]]: In the form of Mega Houndoom, whose Defense, Sp.Atk, and Speed are all buffed, and receives Solar Power for increased Special damage.
* [[The Unintelligible]]: To anyone but their own kind. Unlike most Pokemon, they speak a language only they can understand.

An adorable blue baby elephant that evolves into a not-so-adorable adult elephant. Donphan's special talent is rolling around at high speeds. It's not so surprising that its trunk and its back are covered with thick skin that looks somewhat like a tire. Its attack and defense are very high, but its special stats are very bad. It's still an excellent choice if you want to remove obstacles like Spikes and Stealth Rock, or if you just want a solid Ground type. It's the version counterpart to Teddiursa and Ursaring (and switched games with them in certain international releases.)
Line 684 ⟶ 699:
* [[Metal Slime]]: In Crystal, with Phanpy early in the game. In Route 46, there is a 5% chance of finding a Phanpy during the morning. Plus it can flee from battle, which happened to the unfortunate [[Chuggaaconroy]] {{spoiler|He caught one early in the next episode. 51 seconds after naming his Phanpy, it evolved into Donphan.}}
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The only thing keeping Donphan from being a top-tier physical wall like Skarmory and Gliscor is its lack of a reliable recovery move. (Rest doesn't count as "reliable".)
* [[
* [[Signature Move]]: Although it's far from being an exclusive, these Pokemon are the most well-known [[Rolling Attack|Rollout]] users. Due to Donphan's appearance in ''Pokemon: The First Movie'', it's also the first Pokémon shown to have the move.

Stantler is a Pokémon based on a stag or reindeer. Its most famous features are its antlers that vaguely resemble eyes, said to each contain a miniature portal to another dimension. Many of the moves it can learn involve the antlers, ranging from threatening its opponents, confusing them, putting them to sleep, using Psychic attacks, to merely charging with them. Whether this makes it useful remains to be seen though.
Line 696 ⟶ 711:

Here is a strange Pokémon. It has a seemingly boring appearance and can only learn a single move naturally. That said, it uses that one move to learn almost ''every other move in the game''. Practically every move combination is possible! The one thing holding Smeargle back is its very low stats, most likely to balance out its tremendous movepool. It's also very useful in breeding since every egg move combination is legal, but only to Pokémon that can breed with it.

Miltank is a pink and inexplicably bipedal cow that's best known for producing much of the milk in the Pokémon world. However, it's also very well known for being [[That One Boss]] to many people in the Metal Generation games and their remakes. It's counterpart is apparently Tauros but it is unable to produce Tauros eggs (you'll need a Ditto for that). As the name suggests, it's mostly defensive in nature but it's perfectly capable of dishing out heavy damage, especially on Ghost types (If it has the Scrappy ability).
Line 722 ⟶ 737:
* [[Everything's Better with Cows]]: Or not, if it's owned by [[That One Boss|Whitney]].
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Similar to Tauros, only slighty slower and weaker, but with more bulk. And also has trouble with Skarmory.
* [[One-Gender Race]]: Female only.
* [[Signature Move]]: [[Power-Up Food|Milk Drink]], which allows herself and other Pokémon to recover health.
[[File:243-244-
The second Legendary Trio, and easily one of the most popular. This trio is based on mythical beasts with characteristics of felines and canines, and their elements correspond to the circumstances of the incident of <s>Brass</s> Burned Tower that took away their previous lives. Raikou is a saber-toothed cat [[Youkai|raiju]], representing the lightning that struck the tower, Entei is a either a Chinese guardian lion or a chow, embodiment of the fire that brought the tower down, and Suicune is a cheetah- or wolf-like qilin which corresponds to the rain that quenched the fire. They are the first of many, ''many'' Pokémon that will flee on sight, which is ''really'' annoying. Special measures must be taken to ensure their capture.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Suicune, as the mascot of ''Crystal''.
* [[Back
* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: For the canine crowd, particularly Suicune.
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: Subverted with Suicune. It looks like some sort of feline/canine hybrid, which should make it a carnivore, right? Nope. Suicune is loosely based off of the Qilin/Kirin, a mythological creature that was said to be an ''herbivore''.
Line 744 ⟶ 759:
** [[Jack of All Stats]]: Entei, although it wasn't very useful until it got Flare Blitz and ExtremeSpeed.
** [[Stone Wall]]: Suicune
* [[Leitmotif]]: [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Their battle theme]], introduced in ''Crystal''. And in ''HGSS'' we even get a unique remix for each Beast.
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Theme Naming]]: The first syllables of their names are the kanji for thunder, fire, and water, respectively.
* [[Metal Slime]]: [[Scrappy Mechanic|Wild Raikou fled! Wild Entei used Roar! Wild Suicune broke free!]]
** [[The Corruption]]: You want one the easy way? [[Pokémon Colosseum|I hope you brought your Snag Machine.]]
Line 752 ⟶ 767:
** Suicune and Raikou as well, mainly during generation 4. Defensively, Suicune lacks the support movepool that Vaporeon has, and Water Absorb are really useful in comparison to Suicune's pressure. Offensively, Suicune are pretty slow and doesn't deal enough damage with minimum set-ups. As a mono Electric pokemon, Raikou are deemed less useful than Jolteon who has better speed, and works better with Gyarados, and its generally not as useful as Zapdos.
* [[Panthera Awesome]]: For the feline crowd, particularly Raikou.

A small green reptile-thing with a bird-like tail, which then builds a cocoon around itself and emerges as a huge, vaguely [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]]-ish (or [[Godzilla]]-ish) dinosaur. Its very high attack power, natural bulk and [[Weather Control Machine|its ability to summon sandstorms]] makes it quite useful in battles. Similar to the Dratini line in that it is hard to find and capture, but when fully evolved is [[Magikarp Power|one of the most powerful non-legendary Pokémon in the game]].

** [[Evil Is Cool]]
* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]: ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'' has shaking grass on Route 15. Wild Tyranitar Appeared!
Line 773 ⟶ 787:
* [[For Massive Damage]]: Grass and Water-type attacks for Larvitar and Pupitar. Fighting-type attacks for Tyranitar.
* [[Kaiju]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Tyranitar's speed is decidedly lackluster, but it hits extremely hard. It is the slowest of the pseudo-legendaries.
** [[Lightning Bruiser]]: "TYRANITAR used [[Status Buff|DRAGON DANCE]]!"
**Mega Tyranitar is slighlty faster, but at base 71 Speed, its not much.
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: It started out with Sand Stream, an ability that fits it exceedingly well. It's Hidden Ability? ''Unnerve'', an ability that's largely considered a joke.
*
* [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]]: Tyranitar, which is obvious from its name,<ref>its French name ''Tyrano''cif is even more evocative of ol' Rex</ref> although it looks a bit more like Godzilla.
** [[Stock Dinosaurs]]
* [[Weather Control Machine|Weather Control Creature]]: From Generation III onward, Tyranitar whips up a sandstorm merely by appearing on the battlefield.
[[File:249-
Generation II's mascots. They are based on the mythical Japanese rivalry between the dragon and the phoenix. Lugia is a white draconic bird with blue features and handlike wings. Ho-Oh is a phoenix whose feathers are the seven colors of the rainbow.
* [[All Flyers Are Birds]]: Inverted with Lugia. It's supposed to be some sort of bird monster, but it more closely resembles (and is partially based off of) a dragon. It also doesn't act very-bird like considering it prefers to sleep in underwater caves rather than nesting somewhere on land (It did used to perch on the Brass Tower, until it accidentally destroyed it with a storm).
* [[Blow You Away]]: Both are Flying-types and learn Whirlwind, but Lugia's Aeroblast is ''definitely'' worth mentioning.
** [[The Corruption]]: Shadow Blast, a Shadow-type variant of Aeroblast, sharing its pure counterpart's high [[Critical Hit]] ratio as well. Oh, and the Shadow-type is [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|super effective against]] ''everything''.
* [[Code Name]]: "Pokémon X" for Lugia; "XD001" for the Shadow Lugia featured in ''[[Pokémon XD]]''.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Literally]], both of them: Lugia in the second movie ''[[Pokémon: The Movie 2000|Pokémon 2000]]'', and Ho-Oh in the ''first episode'' of the anime series.
Line 816 ⟶ 832:
* [[Sword of Plot Advancement]]: In ''HeartGold and SoulSilver'', the developers changed it so that you must encounter and either catch or defeat the title legendary. To make things easier, its initial move pool will no longer contain Safeguard or Recover.

The strange and mystical Celebi is a Pokémon that boasts many abilities: Its main power is its ability to travel through time. It also has the ability to revive plants. Forests that Celebi inhabit are said to thrive. Like Mew, this Pokémon is a secret character not obtained through normal play.
Line 831 ⟶ 847:
* [[No Biological Sex]]: Though an explicitly female one (Which is shiny and pink) appears in the second set of Mystery Dungeon games (Though still genderless for the purpose of Attract), adding further fuel to the "sex unknown, not non-existent" interpretation for legendaries.
