Sobble (Pokémon)

This article is about the species. For a specific instance of this species, see Sobble.

**Sobble** (Japanese: **メッソン** *Messon*) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves into Drizzile starting at level 16, which evolves into Inteleon starting at level 35.

Along with Grookey and Scorbunny, Sobble is one of three starter Pokémon of Galar available at the beginning of Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Along with Grookey and Scorbunny, it was the first Generation VIII Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2019.

## Biology

 File:Goh Sobble camouflage.png
Sobble is a small Pokémon that has light-blue skin with darker teal patches and a lighter blue belly and face. It has similar teal eyes with white pupils and sclerae. Sobble also has a yellow fin-like protrusion from the top of its head bordered in dark blue, as well as a curled blue tail tipped in the same dark blue. Sobble has thin limbs, each of them ending in two thin appendages. It can use these to stick to walls and easily climb them.

It can run around as both a quadruped and a biped, and use its forelimbs as arms. Sobble has the ability to camouflage itself in water where it hides itself. When it touches the water, Sobble's body changes its patterns and colors. This allows Sobble to blend into its surroundings. Due to being a bit timid, should Sobble get nervous or embarrassed, it will secrete water from its body like sweat in order to disappear into its surroundings. Sobble's tears can make others cry; the effect is so powerful that its tears are said to be as potent as 100 onions. Should it feel threatened, Sobble will start bawling and spreading its tears around the area, causing anyone near it to start crying uncontrollably. It will use this distraction as means to escape.

### Stats

#### Base stats

* Maximum stats are calculated with 252 EVs, IVs of 31, and (if applicable) a helpful nature.

### Learnset

#### By tutoring

 * **Bold** indicates a move that gets STAB when used by Sobble
* *Italic* indicates a move that gets STAB only when used by an evolution of Sobble

## Trivia

### Origin

Sobble appears to be based on the veiled chameleon due to its color scheme being similar to that of the males. The way this species collects water droplets from its casque (the helmet-like protrusion on top of its head) into its mouth could resemble tears which could explain the tear-like patches on Sobble's face, its actual tears when crying, and its Water typing. Its typing, in addition to the crest on its head, are features that can also be more loosely related to basilisk lizards.

#### Name origin

Sobble may be a combination of *sob* and *bubble* or *dribble*.

Messon may be a combination of メソメソ *mesomeso* (sobbing) and *chameleon*.

Lunar Charge (move)

**Lunar Charge** (Japanese: **ひっかく** *Scratch*) is a damage-dealing Celestial-type move introduced in Generation AN-II. It is the signature move of Cruisible.

## Effect

Lunar Charge inflicts damage and lowers the user's Speed stat by one stage after use. It uses the user's Speed as its attack stat for damage calculation. It still is a physical move, using the target's Defense as the defending stat. Therefore, it still triggers Resilience, can be countered by Counter, et cetera.

## Description

 **LC****BsQs** | The user, Cruisible, spends its built-up lunar charge to slam into the opponent at high speed. This lowers the user's Speed afterward.

## Learnset

### By leveling up

 **Bold** indicates a Pokémon gains STAB from this move.*Italics* indicates a Pokémon whose evolution or alternate form receives STAB from this move.

## Trivia

* This move is the only move that uses the Speed stat as its attacking stat.
Permafrost (Ability)

**Permafrost** (Japanese: **ぜったいねむり** *Sure Sleeper*) is an Ability introduced in Generation VII. It is the signature Ability of Komblanche.

## Effect

### In battle

The Pokémon with this Ability is treated as if it is frozen, without having the status condition. The Pokémon with this Ability can still use moves. The Pokémon with Permafrost cannot be inflicted with any non-volatile status conditions except burn. A Pokémon with the Permafrost Ability will essentially have their Ability suppressed if the Pokémon is burned - none of its effects, positive or negative, will occur (except for those that do not distinguish between non-volatile status conditions, like Facade, since burn is still a non-volatile status condition).

A Pokémon with Permafrost will take half damage from Ice-type moves, but will take 50% more damage from Fire-type moves.

The Pokémon with this Ability takes double damage from Hex and variants of Barb Barrage, and deals double damage when using Facade. However, due to not actually having the frozen status condition, the Pokémon with this Ability is not considered to have a status condition for the purposes of effects such as Purify and Aspear Berries.

Permafrost is unaffected by effects that prevent being frozen (such as harsh sunlight or Misty Terrain). Permafrost is unaffected by Mold Breaker, Turboblaze, and Teravolt. A Pokémon with Poison Touch using Sunsteel Strike cannot poison a target that has Permafrost.

If a Pokémon that already has a status condition gains Permafrost (i.e. due to Transform or Imposter), it will not be cured of its status condition. If the Pokémon was frozen, the status has its normal effect, unaffected by Permafrost. Permafrost cannot be replaced, Traced, or swapped. If a Pokémon that already has its Ability suppressed obtains Permafrost (such as with Transform), Permafrost's effects are suppressed (i.e. the Pokémon will not be protected from status conditions, is not treated as frozen, etc.).

### Outside of battle

Permafrost has no effect outside of battle.
Maracaleza Gym

The **Maracaleza Gym** (Japanese: **トバリジム** *Tobari Gym*) is the official Gym of Maracaleza Town. It is based on Fighting-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Akita. Trainers who defeat him receive the Martial Badge.

The Maracaleza Gym is the first of the region's Twilight League Gyms, in that it is unlocked first, directly following the defeat of Aria in Alipigra City.

## In the games

**Maracaleza Gym**

**Leader: Akita**

The Kantonian Legend

The Maracaleza Gym takes the form of an actual gymnasium. The room has four major sections: the cardio area, the weight area, the track, and the mat. Akita is on the mat meditating, and can be walked up to freely - but he will not battle the player until his concentration is broken. To break his concentration, each of the other Trainers - of which there are four, one in each area - must be battled.
Mundalkia

**Mundalkia** (Japanese: **ヤヴェテナ** *Yahwetena*) is an ancient town in Verela. It is the root of Rio Bossano City, and lies east of it. In modern times, the town has been "rebuilt" to serve as a center of Himnoran history referred to as **Mundalkia Park** (Japanese: **ヤヴェテナ公園** *Yahwetena Park*).

## Description

Mundalkia is a seaside town formed around where the Bossanova River meets the South Laurimerita Ocean. It previously had a large population, but due to the site's rededication, most of the population it would have lives in Rio Bossano City proper. In ancient times, it was the home of the legendary hero Azure, so it was chosen in modern times to host a museum - the Mundalkia Museum - to catalogue native Verelan history.

There are a couple patches of tall grass and reeds in Mundalkia Park. In Pokémon Rose and Sage, Partazura can be found here (instead of in Mercalago like in Azure).
Knackoel (Pokémon)

**Knackoel** (Japanese: **ヘイケラウチ** *Heiklaushi)* is a dual type Steel/Fairy introduced in Generation AN-III.

It Evolves from Borazo when leveled up near Delibird.

## Biology

Aidastro is a humanoid, Astronaut based robotic Pokémon. While it has color variants, it has a core on its chest, acting as a heart of sorts, keeping it alive. It has a visor, with any color of its eyes seen, Allowing it to scan whatever it sees. It also has a backpack on it, carrying any useful item, and may carry it's Borazo with them. It has "ears", resembling crescent moons.

Mona

Eye color
 Hair color

**Mona** (Japanese: **フユ** *Fuyu*) is one of the game's rivals in Pokémon Azure, Rose, and Sage. He is one of the player's close friends, and due to living in the same town, knows the player before the story begins.

## Personality

Mona is initially somewhat tentative about becoming a Pokémon Trainer, as he discusses in the introduction to Pokémon Azure and Rose. He watches a lot of television, and can't keep up with mutual friend Natsuki's speed. He wants to become a famous actor, not a Trainer. The player helps talk him into realizing that he can become famous *for* Pokémon training rather than *despite* it.

## In the core series

### Azure, Rose, and Sage

In Pokémon Azure, Rose, and Sage, Mona is the youngest of the friend group that consists of herself, **Mona**, and the player. Mona picks the starter that is super effective against the player's starter. Afterward, the three of them head to the Alipigra Gym to try to challenge it, but the Gym Leader, Aria, is currently not present, so they separate to look for her.

After the player finds Aria at the sports pub, watching a battle between Champions Leon and Cynthia, Natsuki goes to get her bike, while Mona goes on ahead to Maracaleza Town to help Aria with her presentation at Maracaleza Primary. Mona and the player go to the school, where they and Aria decide to show the class a Pokémon battle outside, which is also the player's first battle with Mona. Mona decides it would be cooler to do a Double Battle, especially since that's the way the best prefer, but will comment on it if the player doesn't have enough Pokémon to do so.

## Trivia

* Mona is the only rival to perform a Double Battle against the player character to which they are the rival.
	+ Blue has been able to partake in Double Battles, and is the only rival to do so other than Mona himself, but Blue can only do so in Pokémon Sun and Moon and their Ultra remakes, in which Blue is not the rival.
	+ While Tierno and Trevor are both opponents in a two-on-two match, this is because the two of them are fought simultaneously in a Multi Battle on Route 7.
	+ While Marnie, Bede, and Hop can all be opponents in the Galarian Star Tournament, the Galarian Star Tournament is entirely Multi Battles as well.
* Mona's jacket is in-universe merchandise for DJ Purple Heart. Mona is, as of Generation AN-I, the only character whose design references another character in the games directly.
Minun (Pokémon)

This article is about the species. For a specific instance of this species, see Minun.

**Minun** (Japanese: **マイナン** *Minun*) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of Plusle.

## Biology

Minun is a cream-colored bipedal Pokémon with blue markings. It has a dot-like nose, and a cream-colored minus sign in the middle of its circular blue cheeks. It has long, flat ears that are mostly blue. Its limbs are stubby and digitless, and it has blue front paws. Its short tail is tipped with a blue minus sign.

Minun cares more for its teammates than itself, sending off showers of sparks when it cheers for them. When its partner is in trouble, it gives off increasing amounts of sparks. It can create electric pom-poms for cheering. Its electrical current promotes blood circulation and energizes its target. It lives in grasslands and savannas. However, it will hide under the eaves of houses when it rains due to its dislike of water.'

## Game data

### NPC appearances

* Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire: Minun combines with Plusle to produce an electric current blocking the entrance to the Poké Mart on the Sapphire Field.
* Pokémon Ranger: Minun is the Template:Ra of Lunick. After the end credits, it also feels a bond with Solana.

## Trivia

* Minun shares its category with its partner Plusle. They are both known as the Cheering Pokémon.
* Minun and Plusle share the same base stat total, although the stat distribution is different, with Plusle being more offense-oriented and Minun being more defense-oriented.
* Minun's first major appearance in the anime was in episode 312, the same number as its position in the National Pokédex.
* Unused text in Pokémon Colosseum suggests that a Shadow Minun was going to appear in the game.
* In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there are several files for unused playable characters. One of these files is named "Pra\_Mai", leading some players to speculate that Plusle and Minun were considered to appear as a tag team, like Ice Climbers.

### Origin

Minun appears to be based on a cheerleading mouse, chipmunk, or rabbit. It could also be the incarnation of a negative electric charge.

#### Name origin

Minun may be derived from *minus*, possibly in reference to negative electrical charge.

Singularity City

**Singularity City** (Japanese: **ウルトラロポリス** *Ultralopolis*) is a city in Ultra Space.

## Geography

Singularity City is a large city that has succumbed to the power of Necrozma - the city is drained of light, in permanent darkness save for the lights of the city itself. Ultra Beasts can be found alongside the city's alien residents, similarly to how the Pokémon world's cities function, but on a much larger scale. Singularity City, if it was in the normal world, would be the size of the entirety of Tagliatelle Island, and the largest city in the world of Pokémon. The size of the city is a direct result of the dangers of living in this dark world - any development outside the city would be so dangerous and require so many resources and man-hours, it's more worth it to maintain the single city.

## History

While it was one of the first places S.A.M.U.S. discovered through the Ultra Wormhole, residents from the city came to Celiccia, not the other way around. A few Horizonites - what residents of the city call themselves - have since moved to places in the normal world as a result, including Anemone.

Although the city itself has a history going back for centuries, hence residents of the city treat themselves as coming from there, they were originally a colony from yet another world, that discovered the Necrozma found at Megalo Tower, causing the world's light to be drained. It is believed that there are other Necrozma out there, but none have been discovered yet save for the one at Megalo Tower.
Normalium Z

The **Normalium Z** (Japanese: **ノーマルＺ** *Normal Z*) is a type of Z-Crystal introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It is the type-specific Z-Crystal associated with the Normal type and allows Pokémon to upgrade their Normal-type moves to Z-Moves.

## In the core series games

### Effect

####  Bag item

Can create Normalium Z held items for the player's Pokémon.

####  Held item

##### In battle

Allows the holder to upgrade its Normal-type damaging moves to the Z-Move Breakneck Blitz or upgrade its Normal-type status moves into Z-Moves.

Unaffected by item negating effects (such as Embargo and Klutz). Item manipulating effects (such as Trick and Fling) cannot remove a Z-Crystal from a Pokémon.

Rayquaza cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a Z-Crystal.

##### Outside of battle

A held Normalium Z is automatically removed if the Pokémon is traded between players.

Luisa (game)

Eye color
 Hair color

**Luisa** (Japanese: **レラハ** *Lelafa*) is the female player character in Pokémon Starlight. She is also one of the rivals of Pokémon Starlight if the player chooses to play as her male counterpart, Sabino.

## Profile

### As the protagonist

Luisa is a young girl living in the town of Agelanto. At the start of the game, she along with her big brother is given her first Pokémon, however, the introduction ceremony gets interrupted by breaking news.

#### Rental Pokémon in Zulustia Studio

*For all rental teams used by the player at Zulustia Studio, see here.*
### As a non-playable character

If the player chooses Carmen, Miles will appear in game as an NPC, first met in Sakashi City, where he gives the player the Vs. Recorder after a Multi Battle involving two Project Chimera scientists.

He also appears in Luxalit if the player chooses Carmen. In Astral Cat Studios, Carmen can battle him daily upon finishing the main story. He also can be met in Zulanland Park. He will walk with Carmen around the park and will participate in Zulanland's Battle Planet during Multi Battles. The player may choose to lend him one of the Pokémon in their party or PC, or choose to let him decide his entire team. His team will consist of the player's chosen Pokémon if any as well as random Pokémon from his selection pool.

In Pasaha, Miles will also join Carmen during Multi Battle formats of the World Tournament, in the same way as in the Battle Planet.
New Malie Preserve

**New Malie Preserve** (Japanese: **マリエ庭園** *Malie Garden*) is a location in the Xureen region.

## Geography

New Malie Preserve is a large park just north of the city of New Malie, that encompasses Route 24 in its entirety and ends at Route 23. The park cares for Pokémon within its boundaries, particularly those that are exceptionally rare. It centers around a small lake with various other habitats around it.

New Malie Preserve is functionally similar to a Safari Zone and is classified as such. While the player can walk through the park unimpeded, entry into the areas with actual Pokémon in them requires a ticket that costs 1000. Doing this allows the player to interact with the Pokémon found within. One ticket allows for 15 in-game minutes in the Preserve, unlike other Safari Zones which have a step limit instead of a time limit.

## Details

When the player purchases a Preserve Entry Pass and enters the park proper, a timer is started. This timer lasts for 15 minutes, and once it expires, the player's stay in the park is over. The player is allowed to finish any encounter they are currently in when the time expires, however.

The New Malie Preserve is separated into five areas: Area One is the area walkable without a pass, and Areas Two through Five are arranged around Area One, with Areas Two and Four to the northwest and Areas Three and Five to the northeast. Pokémon encounters are randomly selected from a small pool for every area; one will appear 25% of the time, another 20% of the time, another 15% of the time, and four more 10% of the time.

When a Pokémon is encountered, battling in the New Malie Preserve works differently from a normal battle. Similarly to the Safari Zones, the player is not allowed to fight the wild Pokémon and can only give items to or move around the Pokémon. The player may either give food or throw rocks at the wild Pokémon. The player is allowed to approach twice or retreat twice from the standard position. Different combinations of these actions will change the success rate of a capture in the New Malie Preserve, which are performed with standard Poké Balls rather than the Safari Ball.
Kubfu (Pokémon)

**Kubfu** (Japanese: **ダクマ** *Dakuma*) is a Fighting-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves into Urshifu when shown the scroll in one of the Towers of Two Fists. The form it evolves into depends on the tower it is trained in.

* Kubfu evolves into Urshifu **Single Strike Style** when trained in the Tower of Darkness.
* Kubfu evolves into Urshifu **Rapid Strike Style** when trained in the Tower of Waters.

## Biology

Kubfu is a small, bearlike Pokémon. It has a dark-gray body. The feet have two toes shaped like triangles. It has three claws on each hand. On the chest is a white bow mark. The head has two spikes of hair on both sides with two more on the top of the head. The front of the head has a white streak with two spikes of hair and two black eyebrows. It has white eyes with black sclerae and small brown spots. Two white hairs shaped like ribbons are located behind the head. It has a yellow mouth with a black round nose, and two little black marks. Its tail has a black, spiky appearance.

Kubfu works hard to train both body and mind, even if it suffers defeat. It has a unique organ that allows it to create "fighting energy" through special deep breathing and intense focusing. It actives this energy by pulling the white hair on its head. It is known to live in mountains far away from Galar, though it lived in the region at one point. According to historical texts, it helps people on their travels. It has been referred as the "secret armor" of the Master Dojo. The moves it masters by reading the scrolls in either of the Towers of Two Fists will determine which style it takes after evolving. While it can be timid, it can become more brave and confident once trained up.

## Game data

### Pokédex entries

 Shield  | If Kubfu pulls the long white hair on its head, its fighting spirit heightens and power wells up from the depths of its belly.

## Biology

Skitty is a pink, feline Pokémon with a stumpy body and four short legs. On its face is a cream-colored, crescent-shaped marking. It has slit-like eyes and tufted ears with purple interiors. Its slender tail has a bulky pink section at the end, terminated by three pin-like structures with yellow ball-like tips. In battle, its tail puffs out and it threatens opponents with a sharp growl.

It is fascinated by moving objects and chases them. It is known to chase its own tail and become dizzy from it. Although it can be difficult to earn its trust, it is very popular due to its adorable looks and behavior. It can use the moves of other Pokémon through the use of Assist, its former signature move. It lives in holes in trees in tropical and temperate forests.

Sacrasoot (Pokémon)

**Sacrasoot** (Japanese: **トナモノ** *Tonamono*) is a dual type Ghost/Fire Pokémon introduced in Generation AN-I.

It does not Evolve.

## Biology

Sacrasoot is a roughly person size, amorphous Pokémon species. Its main body is roughly humanoid, resembling a human head, chest, and arms, though instead of a waist and legs, Sacrasoot's lower body consists of smoky clumps that form tendrils. The tendrils usually float around Sacrasoot's chest, but Sacrasoot does have control over where they move, and will hide them in shadows if needed.

Sacrasoot is an ancient Pokémon, depicted in old ruins. It is thought to have been created by an ancient civilization who sacrificed war prisoners to a god they feared, to prevent its wrath from manifesting. Points in favor of the theory include the spread of the species (it is exclusively Verel-Syraiki) and the origin of the Verelan ruins depicting it.

## Game data

### Pokédex entries

 Sage  | It is thought to have previously been an ancient sacrifice. Sacrasoot's flame is said to burn one's very soul.

### Stats

#### Base stats

* Maximum stats are calculated with 252 EVs, IVs of 31, and (if applicable) a helpful nature.

## Trivia

### Origin

Sacrasoot is based heavily on Aztec beliefs and culture. In particular, its origins may be based on flower war and/or the subsequent ritual sacrifice of captives to Tōnatiuh, to keep the sun moving. Their heads resemble Aztec death whistles, which were thought to have been used in psychological warfare.

#### Name origin

Sacrasoot comes from *sacrament* and *soot*.

Tonamono comes from *Tōnatiuh* and 供え物 *sonaemono* (offering).
Lamursor (Pokémon)

Snowball (move)

**Snowball** (Japanese: **げんきのスパーク** *Vitality Spark*) is a damage dealing Ice-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation AN-I.

## Effect

Snowball inflicts damage, hitting the target two to five times per use. There is a 35% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 35% chance it will hit 3 times, a 15% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 15% chance it will hit 5 times. Each strike can be a critical hit individually (outside of Genwunner Challenge, where it functions similarly to Fury Swipes). Unlike similar moves, Snowball can hit an opponent on the opposite corner of the user in a Triple Battle.

Pokémon with the Ability Skill Link will always hit five times when using Snowball if it does not miss.

If the user is holding a King's Rock or Razor Fang, each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to flinch.

If a Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.

If a Focus Sash or Sturdy activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.
