OmniWrench

The **OmniWrench** is a gadget featured throughout the *Ratchet & Clank* series. Although primarily used by Ratchet as his signature melee weapon, Alister Azimuth also used a specialized wrench. There are various types and versions of the OmniWrench, each with certain distinctions and uses. Among combat uses, the OmniWrench is also used to turn bolt cranks, traverse zip lines, and attract bolts by magnetism.

## Appearances

### *Ratchet & Clank*

During *Ratchet & Clank*, Ratchet used the OmniWrench 8000. It is comparatively weak and plain, colored a simple silver without specialized designs or enhanced performance.

## Combat

The OmniWrench is a close-ranged melee weapon, mostly useful for taking out smaller enemies. It has three signature combat moves: the multi-strike, hyper-strike, and comet-strike.

### Multi-strike

The multi-strike consists of two consecutive, broad swings and then a final swing which involves Ratchet turning around and using the momentum to deliver a stronger and faster blow. This is achieved by hitting the strike button three consecutive times (File:Button Square.png + File:Button Square.png + File:Button Square.png) in any direction.

### Hyper-strike

The hyper-strike involves Ratchet jumping up in the air and delivering an impactful blow towards the ground, smashing whatever or whoever is in the wrench's path. This is achieved by jumping in the air then hitting the strike button (File:Button X.png + File:Button Square.png). This strike is particularly useful with box breaker, allowing Ratchet to bust open all crates within the general vicinity through the enhanced force of the hyper-strike. Additionally, when used in conjunction with the heli-pack's long jump, the hyper-strike may serve as a long-range, high-impact attack, useful for tougher and/or slightly larger enemies.

### Comet-strike

The comet-strike involves Ratchet throwing his wrench and receiving it back, with similar mechanics to a boomerang. This attack is useful for destroying explosive crates without being damaged, as well as hitting multiple enemies at once and picking up distant bolts. Starting with *Going Commando*, Ratchet was able to move away from the point of origin after the comet-strike was performed, allowing him to avoid enemies while the wrench was away. In *A Crack in Time*, Ratchet was able to perform the attack without having to crouch first, and could perform the attack while moving, even while airborne. The move was also useful for grabbing items such as battery bots, zoni, Agorian bombs, and helio-grubs. It could be performed by hitting the strike button after performing a crouch maneuver (however, in the Future series, if the buttons were hit in quick succession, Ratchet would not perform a crouch.)

Mankey

Mankey is a fighting pokemon his Japanese name is "Mankey マ ン キ ー" he evolve into Primeape at level 28

## Trivia

* Mankey can be seen as a parallel to Meowth. Both of them are Generation I Pokémon who evolve into their evolved forms at or above level 28. Mankey is exclusive to Pokémon Red, Gold, and HeartGold, while Meowth is exclusive to Blue, Silver, and SoulSilver. Additionally, both seem to have a similar color scheme.

## Origin

Graveler

Graveler is a rock ground pokemon his japanese name is "Goroun ゴローン" he evolve from geodude at level 25 and evolve to golem with a trade

## Trivia

* Graveler's Crystal sprite is different from that of Gold and Silver, making it one of few Pokémon to have three distinctly different sprites inGeneration II.
* Graveler's Red and Blue Versions sprite shows an incorrect number of limbs; only four are visible. This was corrected in Pokémon Yellow.
	+ Mato's rendition of the Pokémon also depicts Yellow's Graveler with four limbs, possibly for this reason. All other Graveler that have since appeared in Pokémon Adventures have shown the right amount.
* Graveler is the only Pokémon unavailable for use in the Pika Cup who can evolve, despite that Golem is available.

## Origin

Graveler appears to be based on a living boulder

“
The Mine Glove drops floating mines which will activate when any enemies walk into range. Use mines to set traps for your foes! Or try them in combination with Gadgetron's Taunter! Use L1 for precision placement of the mines.

”— In-game HelpDesk, Ratchet & Clank
The **Mine Glove** is a weapon manufactured by Gadgetron, featured in *Ratchet & Clank* and the multiplayer mode for *Up Your Arsenal*. It drops mines in front of Ratchet which home in on enemies.

The Mine Glove can be upgraded to the Gold Mine Glove upon completion of *Ratchet & Clank*. It can be upgraded in the multiplayer mode of *Up Your Arsenal*.

## History

### *Ratchet & Clank*

In *Ratchet & Clank* the Mine Glove can be purchased from the vendor on Rilgar and onwards for 7,500 bolts (or for 5,000 bolts with the Persuader). Upon completion of the game, it can be upgraded to the Gold Mine Glove with 10,000 bolts and 4 gold bolts.

### *Up Your Arsenal*

The Mine Glove is only available in the multiplayer mode for *Up Your Arsenal*. It can be found around the map, and three mines deployed is typically enough to kill an enemy player. Killing three players upgrades the weapon.

## Characteristics

The Mine Glove is metallic, with red fingers, a green triangular mark and a green mark on the wrist. Mines launched are homing spike mines. When upgraded to the Gold Mine Glove, the entire glove is gold aside from the green markings.

## Combat

The Mine Glove drops hovering mines, which will home in on approaching targets and deal moderate damage with a small effect radius. The Mine Glove is useful against enemies that will attack Ratchet in close range. It is best used in conjunction with the Taunter, to lure enemies to be attacked by the Mine Glove.

The Mine Glove is often best used with other weapons if the player fears being overwhelmed by large number of enemies. It is only useful against enemies with close range attacks, as ranged attackers will not come within reach of the mines. The Mine Glove is a non-essential weapon, as the Walloper or even the wrench can be used to defeat enemies in close combat just as easily without the need for ammunition or for the Taunter, while the Glove of Doom allows its dispensed weapons to defeat targets.

In multiplayer for *Up Your Arsenal*, the Mine Glove is useful when used to defend nodes or other strategic vantage points such as bases, as players can often overcome the defenses they provide. This makes the Mine Glove very useful against unsuspecting opponents.

Metapod

Metapod is a bud pokemon His japanese name is "Trancel トランセル" He evolve from caterpie at level 7 and evolve to butterfree at level 10

## Trivia

* Metapod shares its category name with Kakuna, Silcoon, and Cascoon. They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.
	+ They also share the same base stat total, learnset, Ability, and EV yield.
		- This ties them as the evolved Pokémon with the lowest base stat total.
* Metapod is the first Pokémon to evolve in a movie, and part of the first evolution cycle in an episode.
* Until the release of Pokémon Platinum, when its pre-evolution became able to learn Bug Bite, Metapod was unable to damage Ghost-typePokémon except by using Struggle. It shared this trait with Caterpie.
	+ Due to this, it was impossible to complete a Generation I game using only Caterpie or Metapod since Struggle could not hit Ghost types at the time.
* Metapod is usually depicted with white sclera, such as in the games, trading cards, and promotional illustrations, but it has yellow sclera in the anime.
* In the anime episode *Challenge of the Samurai*, the process of Metapod's evolution was similar to a real life butterfly emerging from its cocoon. In later episodes, however, Metapod is shown to evolve like any other Pokémon

## Origin

Metapos is based on butterfly chrysalises
Dodrio

Dodrio is a normal flying pokemon his japanese name is "Dodorio ドードリオ" he evolve from doduo at level 31

## Trivia

* While one of its heads is saying something in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, the others say *me too* or *mine too*, but its pre-evolved form's other head will not.
* Dodrio's National Pokédex number is the whole number portion of its weight in kilograms. As ofGeneration V, this is a unique characteristic. However, Slowpoke and Scyther share the distinction when considering their respective weights in pounds.
* Not including the intro video, Dodrio was the first Pokémon to appear in the flesh in the anime (all others before that were either dreamt of by Ash, or else shown on the TV in his room).
* According to its Pokédex entries, Doduo can run at 60 mph, while Dodrio can only run at nearly40 mph. However, Dodrio's base Speed stat is higher.
* Dodrio is featured in the Generation III wireless mini-game, Dodrio Berry Picking, where it is required that players own a Dodrio to be able to play.
* Before Generation IV, the necks of normal Dodrio were beige (which became the female neck color), while its pre-evolution's necks were black (which became the male neck color).
* Despite not having wings, Dodrio and its pre-evolution are capable of learning Steel Wing and Fly.

## Origin

Despite its name, Dodrio seems like it has more in common with ostriches than dodos.
Muk

Muk is a poison pokemon his japanese name is "Betbeton ベトベトン" he evolve from grimer at level 38

## Trivia

* Although Muk's body is very poisonous, it doesn't seem to harm Ash and the others when Muk is 'hugging' them. This is probably because it is able to control whether it gives off poison or not, similar to how Ponyta can choose whether or not to burn the person that touches it. Croagunk is another Pokémon which is able to control the amount of poison it uses via its fingertips when using Poison Jab, or Sharpedo activating its Ability, Rough Skin.
* Muk is tied with Mew for the shortest English name out of all Pokémon.
* Muk shares similar traits to Weezing and Garbodor. All three Pokémon are pure Poison types with a single pre-evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Muk being water pollution.
Shellder

Shellder is a water pokemon his japanese name is "Shellder シェルダー" he evolve to Cloyster with a water stone

## Trivia

* n the anime, Shellder is required to evolve Slowpoke into Slowbro or Slowking. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the King's Rock to evolve into a Slowking. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve (see above), it is not considered an evolution in and of itself.
* In the episode *The Evolution Solution*, it is revealed that Shellder is still capable of speech as the shell of a Slowbro.
* Shellder were shown to be capable of floating through the air in Pokémon Snap, a trait that has been seen in no other media.
* Shellder and Cloyster share their category name with Clamperl. They are all known as the Bivalve Pokémon.

## Origin

Shellder is similar to the clam, with its tongue representing a clam's "foot."

* Although its female counterpart Nidoqueen cannot be bred, Nidoking can.
* Nidoqueen and Nidoking are the only Pokémon with a Poison/Ground type combination.
* Nidoking is a popular choice with anime rivals as both of Ash's main rivals (Gary and Paul) have one as well as Jimmy's main rival.

Machamp

Machamp is a fighting pokemon his japanese name is "Kairikie カイリキー" he is the final evolution of machop and evolve from machoke with a trade

## Trivia

* In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Machamp was originally known as "Ju-Doh". This name is a corruption of *judo*, a fighting style.
* In Pokémon Yellow, a NPC will trade a Machoke for Cubone, which will then evolve to Machamp. This is the only time an NPC trade will result in an evolution in a game released outside of Japan.
	+ Including games released in Japan, it is one of three trades that will result in an evolution.
* Machamp could be seen as a counterpart to Alakazam. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, both were introduced inGeneration I, they reach their final stage by trading, and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the Special Attackstat, while Machamp excels at Attack. Moreover, a girl in Oreburgh City will trade her Abra in exchange for a Machop.
	+ Machamp also can be seen as a counterpart to the Conkeldurr evolutionary line. Both of them are Fighting-type Pokémon whose Attack is their highest stat. They both have below average speed. They share the same base stat total. They both have same gender ratio, they both have three-evolutionary stages, and they both reach their respective final-evolutionary stage through trading.

Machamp appears to be based on a bodybuilder or wrestler. Seeing as it has more than two arms and blue skin, Machamp might also be based on a Hindu god, perhaps Shiva or Vishnu.
Arbok

Arbok is a poison pokemon His japanese name is "Arbok アーボック" he evolve from ekans at level 22

## Trivia

* In the most infamous Pokémon Trainer's Choice in *A Fan with a Plan*, Arbok was erroneously claimed to evolve into Seviper.
* In Generation I games, Arbok had a pair of black stripes in a pattern on its back. This never appeared in any future generation.
* The face-like pattern on Arbok's chest has differences between games. Its sprites in Generations I, IV, V and FireRed and LeafGreen differ from the ones in Generation II and the ones from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. This supports Pokédex text which notes differences between Arbok in different areas; however, its markings from Gold, Silver, and Crystal and the ones from HeartGold and SoulSilver are not the same, despite all these games being placed in Johto.
	+ It should be noted that other media have featured more variations. The *Adventures* series suggests that it can change the pattern, as done by Agatha's Arbok, based on Arbok's concept art. The Dark Arbok card from the TCG is also illustrated with another pattern.
* Arbok is the last Pokémon to be featured on the Kanto Pokérap.
* Arbok is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 438.
* Arbok is the tallest Poison-type Pokémon.

## Trivia

* Nidorino is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a Pokémon battle both in the anime and in the games. The other is Gengar. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of Pokémon Red and Green, on which the beginning of the first anime episode was based on, as well as the remakes.
	+ It is also the first Pokémon to be both seen and captured in Pokémon Adventures, in much the same way.
* Nidorino, along with Gengar (and, possibly, other Pokémon), originate from the old manga, Capsule Monsters, which is considered the ancestor to the Pokémon franchise.
* The Nidorino that appears in Professor Oak's introduction in Pokémon Red and Blue has the cry of a Nidorina.

Bulbasaur

Bulbasaur is a grass poison pokemon his japanese name is "Fushigidane フシギダネ" He evolve to Ivysaur at level 16 and venusaur at level 32

	+ In Pokémon Gold and Silver, Bulbasaur is programmed to be able to learn Charm through breeding, but no other Pokémon in the Grass orMonster Groups can legitimately learn it to pass down as an Egg move in those games. In Generation III and IV, Bulbasaur can inherit the move from Shroomish by chain breeding; in Generation V on, Bulbasaur can inherit the move directly from Cottonee.

## Origin

Bulbasaur is similar to toads and frogs

Freedom City

Freedom City is where your character will start the game once it has been created. Freedom City has many shops and public service outlets which can be of use to you immediately. If you haven't already, you might want buy some armor and weaponry. Although Freedom City isn't terribly dangerous, there are some perils. Most of Freedom City is, however, protected by the officers of the Freedom City Police Department.

You are able to purchase an apartment or room for yourself, where you can disconnect from your character without fear of being killed in your sleep. Most of these places have security systems to keep burglars and would-be assassins out, but none of these systems are foolproof, so you might also want to invest in a safe of some kind.

The area directly south of the FPCD defense perimeter is known as Slagtown. Slagtown is seedier and more dangerous than Freedom City and is, for that reason, not protected by the Freedom City Police Department. Once you venture outside Freedom City, you'll be responsible for your own defense.

Magneton

Magneton is a Electric Steel pokemon his japanese name is "Rarecoil レアコイル" he evolve from magnemite at level 30 and evolve to magnezone if level-up at Mt.coronet, Chargestone cave, Route 13,and new mauvile

## Trivia

* In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Magneton is originally known as "Recoil."
* Magneton, along with its pre-evolution Magnemite, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type Electric/Steel in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing, and the only ones to do so until Generation V when Rotom's formes were given additional typing.
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is contradictory evidence seen in various forms of media.
	+ In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, *Get Along, Little Pokémon*, when Ethan's Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of combining with two real Magnemite. Similarly, in the main series games, when Magnemite reaches level 30, it evolves without the aid of two additional Magnemite. This is unlike Mantyke which requires a Remoraidto evolve.
	+ In Pokémon Snap, a Magneton *is* clearly shown to be created by three Magnemite. Also, when two Magnemite get stuck together halfway through evolution in the original Mystery Dungeon games, they mention how three Magnemite must come together to evolve.
	+ After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than it was as Magnemite. Logically, it would be three times heavier if it were actually made of three Magnemite. Magnemite weighs 6.0 kg, or 13.23 lbs, while Magneton weighs 60.0 kg, or 132.3 lbs.
* Magneton and its evolutionary line have eleven resistances and one immunity, making them and the Honedge evolutionary line the most resistant Pokémon to date, as no other Pokémon have a higher total amount of resistances and immunities. With the addition of Magnet Rise, which makes them immune to Ground-type attacks for five turns, their only double weakness is negated.
* Magneton and its pre-evolution 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 newer game system.
* Magneton has been used by more rival characters than any other Pokémon, being used by three: Blue, Silver, and Wally.
* Despite most depictions of Magneton showing they are able to float through the air, Magneton does not have the Ability Levitate, so it is still affected by Ground-type moves. However, starting in Generation IV, Magneton can learn Magnet Rise, which simulates Levitate for five turns.

## Origin

Magneton is a cluster of three Magnemite which in turn seems to be based on the objectification of electromagnetism

* Haunter has a slightly different cry starting in Generation III.
* No other Pokémon have the same type combination as Haunter and its evolutionary relatives.
	+ Due to its unique type combination, Haunter and its evolutionary relatives are the only Ghost-type Pokémon that are weak against Psychic-type moves and also the only Poison-type Pokémon that are weak against Dark-type moves.
* Haunter and its pre-evolution Gastly are the lightest of all Poison-type Pokémon and Ghost-type Pokémon.

* In the Pokémon anime episode *Go West, Young Meowth*, it was stated that Meowth of Team Rocket had to learn and practice standing on his hind legs like a human, implying that Meowth as a species are not naturally able to stand on their hind legs. However, almost all sprites in thegames and the Pokédex in the anime depict it standing on its hind legs, suggesting Meowth has the natural ability to walk on two legs. Tyson's Meowth is also able to walk on two legs, seemingly naturally.
* Meowth is the first Pokémon in the Pokémon anime to talk.

* In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, "Kokoon" was the prototype English name for Kakuna. This is the same as its romanized Japanese name.

* Gastly is tied with Venipede for the lowest HP of all Poison-type Pokémon.
* Gastly and its evolution Haunter are the lightest of all Poison-type Pokémon and Ghost-type Pokémon

## Origin

Gastly seems to be based on general cartoonish ghosts and spirits, or maybe a will o' the wisp. It may also have been based on the Japaneseyoukai sōgen bi, the decapitated head of a monk whose head is doomed to wander the Earth, consumed by fire. Its Poison type is most likely a reference to poisonous or polluted gases.
Slowpoke

Slowpoke is water psychic pokemon his japanese name is "Yadon ヤドン" he evolve to slowbro at level 37 or slowking with a trade with a king´s rock

## Trivia

* In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Slowpoke was originally known as "Slowmo".
* The Japanese and international Pokémon Silver have different sprites for Slowpoke, with the Japanese versions having a fatter and striped belly similar to that which Slowbro and Slowking sport. It is unknown why this was changed. However, its striped underside is still partially visible in all of its Gold and Crystal sprites. This striped belly does not appear to be a true error, as it has been seen in artwork by Ken Sugimori, though it is fromGeneration I.
* Like Mantyke, Slowpoke evolves when another Pokémon attaches to it; however, this was only seen in the anime. Proximity-based evolution such as requiring Mantyke and Remoraid to be in the same party were not introduced until Generation IV. Despite the fact that other Pokémon, such as Feebas, have been given additional evolution methods for evolving into the same Pokémon, Shellder still has no bearing on Slowpoke's evolution.
* Slowpoke is the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutions have different total EV yields: Slowbro has an EV yield of 2, while Slowking has an EV yield of 3.
* Slowpoke is the only Pokémon whose National Pokédex number is the same as its weight in pounds when rounded.
	+ However, Dodrio has this trait when its weight is measured in kilograms.
* Despite numerous Pokédex entries stating its lack of response to a bite on its tail, in Pokémon Snap it is shown to quickly react to Shellder's bite. This may be due to Shellder's venom stimulating a quicker response, or simply an error or game mechanic to speed the process along.
* Nintendo posted a Slowpoke Reggae music video onto their Japanese channel titled *What's Going on, Yadon?*
* Though the species has appeared repeatedly, no Slowpoke has ever been seen using an attack in the anime.

## Origin

Slowpoke may be based on various species of otter. It may also be based on a giant salamander or hippopotamus.
