List of Pokémon (201-220)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At the core of the multi-billion dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise of various electronic games, ongoing anime, several manga series, collectible trading card games, and other media are 493 distinctive fictional species classified as the titular Pokémon. Created by Satoshi Tajiri, Pokémon is one of Nintendo's flagship game franchises, which has sold over 143 million copies worldwide as of 2007.[2] These creatures and entities reside throughout various locations of the fictional Pokémon universe and can be caught by humans designated as Pokémon Trainers often using devices called Poké Balls. These trainers use Pokémon for a variety of purposes, such as being pets and loyal companions and/or being pitted against other trained Pokémon in competitive Pokémon battles. Pokémon are potentially powerful and magical creatures that can employ a variety of talents such as generating fire or heat, martial arts, telekinesis, and so on. Through age and experience many of these species undergo a metamorphosis and transform into a similar but stronger species in a process referred to as Pokémon evolution.

This is a selected listing of twenty of the Pokémon species, arranged as they are in the main game series' National Pokédex.

[edit] Unown

Number: 201 Type: Psychic Evolves from: None Evolves into: None

Unown (アンノーン An'nōn?, Unown in original Japanese language versions) is a hieroglyph-like[3] symbol with 28 different forms, based on the letters of the Latin alphabet, a question mark, and an exclamation point. They always have the similarities of a flat body[4] with black color and one medium-size eye. They always reside in mysterious chambers, only with other Unown, always stuck on walls.[4]

Unown is featured in Spell of the Unown as the main antagonists. The Unown create an Entei to befriend a young girl and grant all of the girl's wishes: in the girl's case, turning the town she lives in into crystal. Ash and friends convince the girl that Entei is not her true father, since her father was lost on an archeological dig in an Unown temple. The Unown, overpowered by the girl's current thoughts, became unable to control their powers and larger areas were turning into crystal. Entei saves them all by attacking the Unown, sending them all back to their dimension.


[edit] Wobbuffet

Number: 202 Type: Psychic Evolves from: Wynaut Evolves into: None

Wobbuffet (ソーナンス Sōnansu?), known as Sonans in Japan, is a stiff, blue, balloon-shaped Pokémon based on the late Japanese comedian Sanpei Hayashiya (林家三平) (1925–1980). Hayashiya's trademark routine involved him putting one hand to his forehead and saying "Sō nansu, okusan" (そうなんす、奥さん) ("So it seems, madam"). This is why, in the Japanese Pokémon anime and movies, Wobbuffet is often seen putting a hand to its forehead and shouting "Soooooonansu!" (which was translated as well for the English adaptation, where it indeed says "Woooooobbuffet!"). It is voiced by Kayzie Rogers.

Wobbuffet hates light and shock,[5] so it lives in the quiet darkness of caves and only comes out at night.[6] If attacked, it inflates its body to bolster its amazing ability to counter-attack using the moves Counter and Mirror Coat,[5] rather than offensive battling like most other Pokémon, for it won’t attack on its own.[7] It does nothing but endure attacks in this fashion, suggesting that Wobbuffet either has an inability to tolerate aggressive behavior on its part, or that it is simply built to withstand attacks.[8] However, it will not endure an attack on its valued, sensitive tail. When that happens, the Pokémon will try to take the foe with it using Destiny Bond.[8] To keep its pitch-black tail hidden from the sight of potential attackers, it lives in black caves and atmospheres as described above.[6]

In the Pokémon anime, Jessie has owned a Wobbuffet ever since she accidentally exchanged her Lickitung for it in the episode Tricks Of The Trade.[9] Wobbuffet is her equivalent of Misty's Psyduck — it has a habit of popping out of its Pokéball at inopportune times without being called, including at the end of Team Rocket's motto. In the Super Smash Bros. series Wobbuffet comes out of the Poké Ball, using Counter to attack players (regardless of who used the item).


[edit] Girafarig

Number: 203 Type: Normal/ Psychic Does not evolve

Girafarig (キリンリキ Kirisuriki?) is a herbivore[10] that resembles a giraffe. It is yellow with dark brown spots for the front half, while the back half is dark brown with yellow spots. The back section is smaller on the females. Most notably, the end of Girafarig's tail has a simplistic head. The head has a small brain of its own,[11] but can only rely on instinct. If a person gets near the head, it reacts to the person's scent and bites.[11] The head doesn't need to sleep, so it watches over its surroundings twenty four hours a day.[12] Girafarig's name is a palindrome.


[edit] Pineco

Number: 204 Type: Bug Evolves from: None Evolves into: Forretress

Pineco (クヌギダマ Kunugidama?) is a bagworm that resembles a pine cone in looks. It is usually inactive,[13] hanging from forest trees,[14] where it waits for its prey of small flying insects to come to it.[13] Pineco are capable of spitting out a sticky liquid that hardens when exposed to air.[15] This has multiple uses, an example being Pineco using it to glue pieces of bark to themselves for protection,[15] making them bigger and their hide more durable, much like the bagworm in real life. Like Voltorb and Electrode, Pineco explodes when startled or annoyed.[14]

In the Pokémon anime, Brock catches a Pineco in the episode Goin' Apricorn! to save it from Jessie's Arbok.[16] It often exploded, no matter what its mood was, but it lost this habit later on when it evolved into a Forretress.


[edit] Forretress

Number: 205 Type: Bug/ Steel Evolves from: Pineco Evolves into: None

Forretress (フォレトス Foretosu?) is a bagworm as classified by the Pokédex, but its true look is unknown because it is always hidden inside a steel shell,[17] the only visible part inside being its eyes. The shell itself is comprised of two parts: inner and outer. The inner shell is brick red and features four protrusions that look like small cannons. The outer shell is gray and pockmarked, like the surface of the moon. Forretress opens its shell only when it is catching prey, but it does so at such a quick pace that it is impossible to discern the nature of what lies inside, much less attack it while it is unprotected.[18] Forretress can also shoot out bits of the shell for offensive purposes.[19]

In the Pokémon anime, Brock's Pineco evolves into a Forretress in the episode Entei At Your Own Risk.[20] It is notable for being the only Pokémon he brought with him to Hoenn,[21] and he has since left it at the gym in his hometown of Pewter City.


[edit] Dunsparce

Number: 206 Type: Normal Does not evolve

Dunsparce (ノコッチ Nokocchi?) is a land snake based on the tsuchinoko, a legendary snake-like cryptid from Japan. It has a yellow hourglass shaped body, two tiny wings on its sides, a drill for a tail,[22] and two spikes under its chin. Its underbelly is blue, as well as the markings on its back. Dunsparce lives in caves[23] and deep underground in nests of complex design.[22] Its rudimentary wings enable it to hover just above the ground,[24] providing it with an alternate method of locomotion besides crawling. Despite these wings and bug-like appearance, Dunsparce is solely a normal type Pokémon.


[edit] Gligar

Number: 207 Type: Ground/ Flying Evolves from: None Evolves into: Gliscor

Gligar (グライガー Guraigā?, Gliger in original Japanese language versions) is a purple scorpion that is able to glide from a leathery membrane it has that functions as wings. Gligar makes its home on steep cliffs.[25] When it spots prey, it lets go of the cliff's face, spreads its wings and glides silently and effortlessly towards its target, as if it were sliding.[26] This catches its victim by surprise when it flies straight to its face.[27] It then uses its claws and pincers to secure its hold on the opponent's face and injects it with poison from its tail barb to paralyze the prey. It is the first Flying-type Pokémon that is unaffected by Electric-type attacks.[26]Ash Ketchum caught this Pokémon.


[edit] Steelix

Number: 208 Type: Steel/ Ground Evolves from: Onix Evolves into: None

Steelix (ハガネール Haganēru?, Haganeil in original Japanese language versions) is a large serpentine Pokémon that has a steel body with several spikes and a large jaw. The male has two spikes on each side of its jaw while the female only has one spike on each side. It is said that an Onix evolves into Steelix when one lives to be 100 or more,[28] then the pressures exercised on its stone body become so high that it is compressed into a composition harder than diamond.[29] Steelix continues to burrow underground like it did as an Onix, but it reaches far greater depths, reaching records of up to 0.6 miles (900 metres) while heading for the Earth's core.[30]


[edit] Snubbull

Number: 209 Type: Normal Evolves from: None Evolves into: Granbull

Snubbull (ブルー Burū?, Bull) is a pink, blue spotted, bipedal canine that resembles a bulldog. Despite its rather intimidating appearance, Snubbull has a playful[31] and affectionate personality,[32] similar to the real-life bulldog, which makes it a popular pet among the women of the Pokémon world.[32] Another of Snubbull's personality traits is its cowardice, which it tries to hide behind a gruff exterior.[33] If it feels threatened, Snubbull can bare its fangs and make its appearance intentionally intimidating to terrorize smaller and/or weaker Pokémon into running away. However, Snubbull has also been observed to be a little sad at driving away potential friends like this.[34]


[edit] Granbull

Number: 210 Type: Normal Evolves from: Snubbull Evolves into: None

Granbull (グランブル Guranburu?) is a large, purple, bipedal bulldog with a pair of imposing, heavy fangs protruding from its lower jaw. The lower jaw is quite developed and, taken together with the fangs, heavy enough that Granbull must constantly decide between tipping its head back for balance and tilting its head down for decreased energy exertion.[35] As its large mouth and fangs are built specifically for offense, Granbull can bite with a crushing amount of power.[35] Granbull's vicious appearance is a natural intimidation tactic meant to discourage any other Pokémon from assaulting it. In spite of its appearance, however, it is rather timid and easily spooked,[36] and it only defends itself in retaliation to an assault upon it. When it is attacked by another Pokémon in the wild, Granbull flails about with its limbs to ward off its attacker.[36]


[edit] Qwilfish

Number: 211 Type: Water/ Poison Does not evolve

Qwilfish (ハリーセン Harīsen?) is a porcupinefish-like fish that has a round body with many toxin-containing spikes[37] and a teardrop-shaped tail. The spikes give it trouble swimming,[38] but it also has defensive measures against predators. Qwilfish can swallow large quantities of water in very short notice, causing itself to inflate to a much larger size, which it uses to intimidate larger opponents.[39] If the opponent isn't scared, Qwilfish uses the pressure of the water it swallowed to shoot out its toxic spikes at, thus weakening, the opponent.[38]


[edit] Scizor

Number: 212 Type: Bug/ Steel Evolves from: Scyther Evolves into: None

Scizor (ハッサム Hassamu?, Hassam in original Japanese language versions) is a human-size ant similar to its evolutionary predecessor Scyther, with a thick, metallic red exoskeleton[40] and crab-like claws. It is tougher and stronger than Scyther, but has lost its predecessor's speed and ability to fly. Instead, it spreads its wings to cool off, and flaps them very rapidly to heat up, or to blow air to cool itself off.[40] Its demeanor changes, as well. While Scyther is a mantis-like predator, striking fast and simply evading potential pursuers, Scizor is more crab-like, with a conservative, defensive demeanor, in keeping with its greater defensive ability and lesser speed. Once it engages its foe, either in the wild or at the direction of a Pokémon Trainer in a Pokémon battle, however, it behaves more like Scyther, striking quickly with its powerful claws, raking more than pinching, and relying on its startling agility to evade attacks. It appears from a Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. Melee, flying around the stage and attacking anybody it comes into contact with.


[edit] Shuckle

Number: 213 Type: Bug/ Rock Does not evolve

Shuckle (ツボツボ Tsubotsubo?) is resemblant of a scale insect. Its soft yellow body has four legs and is covered by a hard, vase-like[41] red shell which has eight openings for Shuckle to stick its head and four appendages out of. It makes its home amid rocks, withdrawing into its rock-like shell and hiding among, under or within them.[42] Shuckle employs a fluid secreted by its toes to dissolve rocks and carve them in a shape fit for its nest,[43] the fluids are also occasionally used offensively against enemy Pokémon. Shuckle's diet consists of berries, which it stores inside its shell to eat later.[42] If stored long enough, the berries will eventually decompose and mix with Shuckle's natural fluids to form a viscous liquid that makes a healing beverage aptly called "berry juice".


[edit] Heracross

Number: 214 Type: Bug/ Fighting Does not evolve

Heracross (ヘラクロス Herakurosu?, Heracros in original Japanese language versions) is a large, blue, winged bipedal beetle. It has a capsule-shaped thorax similar to Pinsir's, a pair of yellow eyes and two clawed arms and feet. Growing from its head is a large T-shaped horn, which is flanked on either side by a smaller antenna. Heracross is a powerful[44] but docile[45] Pokémon. Its natural habitat is forests[46] and its diet consists of tree sap,[46] nectar and honey.[45] Its strength is such that it can topple large trees if it so wished.[47] Heracross's main weapon is its large horn, of which it is particularly proud.[44] However, it only uses it in the wild to deter its foes, not hurt them.[45]

In the Pokémon anime, Ash catches a Heracross in the episode A Sappy Ending.[48] The Heracross is powerful, but also is distracted by sap, to the point where it tries to feed off the nectar of Ash's Bulbasaur's flower bulb when Bulbasaur is in sight. It is currently at Professor Oak's lab.


[edit] Sneasel

Number: 215 Type: Dark/ Ice Evolves from: None Evolves into: Weavile

Sneasel (ニューラ Nyūra?) is a nocturnal weasel that lives in mountain forests. Sneasel is a deep blue-gray and has a golden jewel on its forehead and chest, and its claws are white. These claws are dangerously sharp,[49] extremely durable, and are used for attacking. It hunts under the cover of chilly darkness, which allows it to sneak up on foes or lost prey.[50] It also steals and eats eggs from nests.[51] If the nest is guarded by a parent Pokémon, Sneasel scares the Pokémon away.[52]It evolves into Weavile by leveling it up with Razor Claw at night.


[edit] Teddiursa

Number: 216 Type: Normal Evolves from: None Evolves into: Ursaring

Teddiursa (ヒメグマ Himeguma?) is a bear cub, resembling a teddy bear more than a real bear. Teddiursa have a crescent mark on their forehead, which grows (both in thickness and in circumference) as the Pokémon ages. Once the crescent fully closes into a circle, the Teddiursa is ready to evolve into an Ursaring. Teddiursa, although an omnivore, has a diet that almost exclusively consists of honey. It makes its own honey out of fruit and pollen from Beedrill.[53] It lets the honey soak in its paws,[54] making it often lick its paws.[55]


[edit] Ursaring

Number: 217 Type: Normal Evolves from: Teddiursa Evolves into: None

Ursaring (リングマ Ringuma?) is a large (although arboreal)[56] bear with a yellow ring on its stomach. Ursaring eats food obtained from digging deep underground[57] as well as berries from trees.[58] Ursaring can hibernate through an entire winter without any food. Ursaring's sense of smell is among the most developed of all Pokémon; it can detect subtle differences in scents.[57] For this reason, Ursaring is sometimes used by police in the Pokémon universe, both as a strong enforcer, and as an explosive-sniffing Pokémon. If criminals are hiding in trees, it can use its claws to cut down the tree.

Its Japanese name, "Ringuma", originates from "ring" (ringu) and "bear" (kuma). In the anime, Ursaring is caught by Paul, after it is angered by Turtwig.


[edit] Slugma

Number: 218 Type: Fire Evolves from: None Evolves into: Magcargo

Slugma (マグマッグ Magumaggu?, Magmag in original Japanese language versions) is a diurnal slug-like Pokémon made of lava. It usually lives in areas of great heat, because it requires heat to live.[59] It can only be motionless for an amount of time if it stays near heated areas.[60] If it strays from a heated area, it must remain in constant motion, or its skin will harden.[60] If it stops moving in this case, it will die slowly from starvation. Despite this, Slugma has the ability to harden at will for protection.


[edit] Magcargo

Number: 219 Type: Fire/ Rock Evolves from: Slugma Evolves into: None

Magcargo (マグカルゴ Magukarugo?, Magcargot in original Japanese language versions) is a snail composed of magma[61] with a shell on its back. The shell is actually a thin outgrowth of its skin that hardened due to cooling of the air,[62] in spite of the fact that it lives in the heat of volcanic craters. The shell is brittle and fragile enough that touching it will cause it to break and crumble,[62] though Magcargo “grows” back its shell passively in a short amount of time. Magcargo has a body temperature of approximately 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit.[63] Since Magcargo is composed of molten lava, when traveling at its slow pace it leaves parts of its continually hardening body on the ground behind it, thus decreasing its physical size. To lose too much of its mass is potentially deadly, so Magcargo routinely restores its size and vitality by dipping its body into volcanic pools of magma.[62]


[edit] Swinub

Number: 220 Type: Ice/ Ground Evolves from: None Evolves into: Piloswine

Swinub (ウリムー Urimū?) is a pig covered in brown fur with dark brown stripes, and is found in icy areas. It roots around with its nose to find food,[64] its favorite being a certain mushroom that grows under dead grass.[64] Swinub's nose is so tough that even the frozen ground poses no problem.[65] Occasionally, it will find hot springs while rooting around in the ground.[64]
