The second generation (generation II) of the Pokémon franchise features 100 fictional species of creatures introduced to the core video game series in the 1999 Game Boy Color games Pokémon Gold and Silver, set in the Johto region. Some Pokémon in this generation were introduced in animated adaptations of the franchise before Gold and Silver, such as Ho-Oh in the first episode of the Pokémon anime series in 1998 and 1999, Togepi, which was a recurring character in the anime owned by Misty, Donphan in the Pokémon first movie in 1998, Snubbull in the first Pikachu short movie in 1998, and Marill, which also debuted in that short film and was a recurring character in the anime owned by Tracey Sketchit in 1998 and 1999. Elekid, Bellossom, Ledyba, and Hoothoot debuted in Pikachu's Rescue Adventure, and Lugia and Slowking debuted in Pokémon 2000.

The following list details the 100 Pokémon of generation II in order of their National Pokédex number. The first Pokémon, Chikorita, is number 152 and the last, Celebi, is number 251. Alternate forms that result in type changes are included for convenience. Mega evolutions and regional forms are included on the pages for the generation in which they were introduced.

Design and development

Pokémon are a species of fictional creatures created for the Pokémon media franchise. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the Japanese franchise began in 1996 with the video games Pokémon Red and Green for the Game Boy, which were later released in North America as Pokémon Red and Blue in 1998.^[1] In these games and their sequels, the player assumes the role of a Trainer whose goal is to capture and use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon. Some Pokémon can transform into stronger species through a process called evolution via various means, such as exposure to specific items.^[2] Each Pokémon have one or two elemental types, which define its advantages and disadvantages when battling other Pokémon.^[3] A major goal in each game is to complete the Pokédex, a comprehensive Pokémon encyclopedia, by capturing, evolving, and trading with other Trainers to obtain individuals from all Pokémon species.^[2]

Two new types were introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver – namely the "Dark" and "Steel" types – intended to better balance the gameplay of Pokémon battles. Dark and Steel types fare well against the then dominant Psychic type. The concept of breeding was introduced in the second generation of Pokémon games as well, which allows players to manipulate the skills of their Pokémon to a greater degree.^[4] Some of the new Pokémon introduced in Gold and Silver are pre-evolutions of other Pokémon, such as Pichu and Igglybuff. Referred to as "baby Pokémon", they are usually only available by breeding their evolved forms.

Pokémon Gold and Silver were first revealed at Nintendo Space World in 1997. At this point, the game had a massively larger world map than the final game and this prototype featured around 40 Pokémon designs that were removed and replaced when the games were released in 1999.^[5]

List of Pokémon

List of Pokémon species introduced in generation II (1999)^{[nb 1]}
Name^{[nb 2]}		Evolves from	Evolves into	Notes
Chikorita Chikorita (チコリータ)^{[† 1]} (0152)	Grass	—	Bayleef (#153)	Chikorita is a quadruped Pokémon. It has a large leaf on the top of its head that it uses as a means to measure the humidity and temperature of its surroundings.^[7] Chikorita's name may be a combination of the chicory plant,^[8] as well as the Spanish suffix for something that is small, "-ita".^[9] Bayleef is the evolution of Chikorita. In the Pokémon anime season Pokémon: The Johto Journeys, Chikorita is one of Ash Ketchum's Pokémon, which eventually evolves into a Bayleef.^[10]^[11] Bayleef's name may originate from the bay leaf , a part of the bay laurel.^[9] In the Spaceworld demo, it was discovered that Bayleef was originally a Pokémon called Hanamogura, meaning "plant mole" in Japanese. The design itself features a large flower, resembling a lotus blossom.^[12] Meganium is a dinosaur-like Pokémon that evolves from Bayleef.^[13] Meganium resembles a sauropod, with a pink flower on its long neck.^[14] Meganium's name is a combination of the word "mega" and the geranium flower.^[9] The Pokémon appears as one of the "boss battles" in New Pokémon Snap, as well as being used prominently to promote the game.^[15]
Bayleef Bayleef (ベイリーフ)^{[† 2]} (0153)	Grass	Chikorita (#152)	Meganium (#154)

Quilava Magumarashi (マグマラシ)^{[† 5]} (0156)	Fire	Cyndaquil (#155)	Typhlosion (#157)	Cyndaquil typically evolves into Quilava at level 14, but it does not evolve until level 17 in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.^[19]
Typhlosion Bakufūn (バクフーン)^{[† 6]} (0157)	Fire	Quilava (#156)	—	Typhlosion is described as remarkably hot, its fur causing explosions around it.^{[‡ 2]} Typhlosion's evolutionary line was unavailable in Pokémon Sword and Shield, but the next game Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduced its Hisuian form.^[20] Typhlosion was only briefly made available in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in 2023.^[21]
Totodile Waninoko (ワニノコ)^{[† 7]} (0158)	Water	—	Croconaw (#159)	A playful but reckless species, it will bite anything it sees without warning, from foes to food to its own Trainer.
Croconaw Arigeitsu (アリゲイツ)^{[† 5]} (0159)	Water	Totodile (#158)	Feraligatr (#160)	Its teeth are slanted, similarly to a barbed fish hook, making them hard to remove. Croconaw itself will also not let go from something it bites unless it loses its teeth, at which point they grow back quickly.
Feraligatr Ōdairu (オーダイル)^{[† 3]} (0160)	Water	Croconaw (#159)	—	It shakes its head when it bites its opponents to tear its prey up. Since it cannot properly maintain its weight out of water, it usually walks on all fours, but can still run quickly on its hind legs.
Sentret Otachi (オタチ)^{[† 8]} (0161)	Normal	—	Furret (#162)	Sentret is a squirrel-like Pokémon.^[22] It uses its tail to stand on and bounce around with.^[22]^[23] Sentret's name is combination of "sentry" and "ferret".^[9] Sentret evolves into Furret, a ferret-like Pokémon.^[24] Like Sentret, Furret has a long tail, which it uses to wrap their babies around them to put them to sleep.^[25] Furret's name appears to be a combination of "fur" and "ferret".^[9] Furret became popular among fans due to a video on YouTube of the Pokémon walking set to the theme of Accumula Town from Pokémon Black and White, which caused the creation of memes of Furret.^[26]
Furret Ōtachi (オオタチ)^{[† 9]} (0162)	Normal	Sentret (#161)	—
Hoothoot Hōhō (ホーホー)^{[† 9]} (0163)	Normal / Flying	—	Noctowl (#164)	Hoothoot is an owl-like Pokémon. Due to it being nocturnal, it can only appear to trainers at night, with IGN suggesting it was to demonstrate the day/night system introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver.^[27] Hoothoot is usually seen balancing on one foot.^[28] Noctowl is the evolution of Hoothoot.^[27] In the Pokémon anime, Ash caught a shiny variant of Noctowl, which was colored gold rather than the Pokémon's typical brown colouring.^[29] Hoothoot's name derives from the onomatopoeia for the sound owls make. Meanwhile, Noctowl's name is a combination of "noctural" and "owl".^[9]
Noctowl Yorunozuku (ヨルノズク)^{[† 9]} (0164)	Normal / Flying	Hoothoot (#163)	—
Ledyba Ledyba (レディバ)^{[† 9]} (0165)	Bug / Flying	—	Ledian (#166)	It communicates with other Ledyba by secreting fluids where its legs meet its body. It changes its scent based on how it is feeling. Ledyba are naturally timid creatures that panic when separated from their swarm.
Ledian Ledian (レディアン)^{[† 9]} (0166)	Bug / Flying	Ledyba (#165)	—	A nocturnal species, groups of Ledian gather around clear night skies and gather starlight to use as energy. While flying, it scatters a glowing powder thought to bring good luck. To make up for its physical weakness, it tries to overwhelm its opponents by punching with its four arms.
Spinarak Itomaru (イトマル)^{[† 9]} (0167)	Bug / Poison	—	Ariados (#168)	Its webs are strong enough to withstand rocks being thrown at them, so fishermen use them as nets. It can wait for days for prey like Cutiefly to be caught. Its poison is not strong, but can be used to weaken prey. It can determine what it has caught by feeling the vibrations on its web.
Ariados Ariados (アリアドス)^{[† 9]} (0168)	Bug / Poison	Spinarak (#167)	—	It prefers to wander around to hunt, instead of setting a web and waiting. While doing so, it constantly spins a thread that leads it back home. It sneaks up on its prey, wraps them in thread, weakens them with poison, and sucks out their bodily fluids. It may sometimes release their prey, but leave a thread on them, which leads it to the their nest or friends. It can spin thread from its abdomen and mouth, making it hard to tell which end is which.
Crobat Crobat (クロバット)^{[† 10]} (0169)	Poison / Flying	Golbat (#042)	—	Two more wings grew where its hind legs used to be. It can fly with all four wings, or alternate between them. It can fly silently up to its prey and suck its blood.
Chinchou Chonchī (チョンチー)^{[† 9]} (0170)	Water / Electric	—	Lanturn (#171)	Chinchou and Lanturn are Pokémon based on anglerfish.^[30]^[31] Chinchou has yellow eyes with black crosses for pupils. It has two antennae that glow at the tips, which it uses to help see when swimming in deep oceans. Chinchou evolves in Lanturn.^[32] Chincou's name originates for the Japanese word for lantern, "chochin". Lanturn's name stems from the English version of the word "lantern".^[9]
Lanturn Lanturn (ランターン)^{[† 9]} (0171)	Water / Electric	Chinchou (#170)	—
Pichu Pichu (ピチュー)^{[† 11]} (0172)	Electric	—	Pikachu (#025)	Pichu is a small mouse-like Pokémon that accidentally electrically shocks those around it.^{[‡ 3]} Junichi Masuda said that Pichu was intended to become the "next" Pikachu, a mascot character. Pichu became Masuda's favorite Pokémon because of the "well thought-out" process that went into its design. It is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.^[33]^[34]^[35]
Cleffa Pī (ピィ)^{[† 10]} (0173)	Fairy^{[nb 3]}	—	Clefairy (#035)	It lives near mountainous regions and meteor crash sites. During nights with shooting stars, colonies of Cleffa can be seen dancing until the morning, at which point they drink morning dew and disappear. It is fascinated with things shaped like or related to stars, such as Minior.
Igglybuff Pupurin (ププリン)^{[† 12]} (0174)	Normal / Fairy^{[nb 3]}	—	Jigglypuff (#039)	Its vocal cords are not fully developed yet, so its throat becomes sore after prolonged periods of singing. Despite this, it wants to improve, so it constantly sings. It lives near freshwater streams, and gargles their water to heal its throat. It bounces around to move, though it struggles with stopping.
Togepi Togepi (トゲピー)^{[† 13]} (0175)	Fairy^{[nb 3]}	—	Togetic (#176)	It can store positive feelings in its shell and release them when needed. It withdraws into its shell to sleep, and can release poison from its spikes.

Marill Marill (マリル)^{[† 17]} (0183)	Water / Fairy^{[nb 4]}	Azurill (#298)	Azumarill (#184)	Marill is a blue aquatic mouse that can float on water.^{[‡ 4]} GameSpot's Frank Provo and Kotaku's Patricia Hernandez both described Marill as "cute".^[48]^[49] Because Marill was first revealed in a 1998 anime short – two years before the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver – rumors surrounding its nature spread rapidly through children's communities and the young internet. Fan theories circulated that a Pokémon dubbed "Pikablu" was hidden in Pokémon Red and Blue, but such theories were disproven when the new games were released.^[50]^[51]
Azumarill Mariruri (マリルリ)^{[† 10]} (0184)	Water / Fairy^{[nb 4]}	Marill (#183)	—	Its hearing is acute, allowing it to listen for potential prey underwater. It makes air bubbles to protect Azurill or help drowning Pokémon.

Skiploom Popokko (ポポッコ)^{[† 9]} (0188)	Grass / Flying	Hoppip (#187)	Jumpluff (#189)	The flower on top of its head fluctuates with the temperature, blooming when it's over 64 °F (18 °C), and closing during cold days. It will actively close its flower and hide away during rainy days.
Jumpluff Watakko (ワタッコ)^{[† 9]} (0189)	Grass / Flying	Skiploom (#188)	—	It can stand harsher winds than its pre-evolutions. It flies around to spread its spores. Breathing them may cause coughs and itchiness. Once it runs out of spores to spread, it dies.
Aipom Eipam (エイパム)^{[† 6]} (0190)	Normal	—	Ambipom (#424)	^[58]^[59]^[60]^[61]^[62]^[63]
Sunkern Himanattsu (ヒマナッツ)^{[† 9]} (0191)	Grass	—	Sunflora (#192)	It consumes morning dew, and moves as little as possible to conserve nutrients. Sunkern formerly had the lowest base stat total of any Pokémon at 180, until the introduction of Wishiwashi's solo form in generation VII with a base stat total of 175.^[64]
Sunflora Kimawari (キマワリ)^{[† 18]} (0192)	Grass	Sunkern (#191)	—	It is active and photosynthesizes during the day, but closes its petals and stops moving when the sun sets.
Yanma Yanyanma (ヤンヤンマ)^{[† 9]} (0193)	Bug / Flying	—	Yanmega (#469)	It can see 360º around it without moving its eyes, and make sudden turns or stops when flying. It can make shock waves strong enough to blow a house away.
Wooper Wooper (ウパー)^{[† 12]} (0194)	Water / Ground	—	Quagsire (#195)^{[nb 5]}	It lives in cold water, and occasionally leaves it to search for food. On land, it coats itself with a slimy, toxic film. It has a Poison/Ground-type Paldean form.
Quagsire Nuō (ヌオー)^{[† 9]} (0195)	Water / Ground	Wooper (#194)	—	Due to its low intelligence, it does not feel pain when it is hurt. While swimming, it tends to bump its head on boulders and boats. It leaves its mouth open and waits for unknowing prey to get in. Because it generally stays immobile, it takes some time to get hungry.
Espeon Ēfi (エーフィ)^{[† 19]} (0196)	Psychic	Eevee (#133)	—	It bathes in sunlight to build its psychic power, so it struggles to fight at night. Its fur is sensitive, allowing it to sense movements in the air to predict the weather and its opponents' moves.
Umbreon Blacky (ブラッキー)^{[† 19]} (0197)	Dark	Eevee (#133)	—	Constant exposure to moonlight has altered its genetic composition. Its rings glow when it is excited or bathing in moonlight. It hides in the dark while hunting, and jumps at unsuspecting prey's throats. It sprays poisonous sweat from the pores in its body to defend itself.
Murkrow Yamikarasu (ヤミカラス)^{[† 9]} (0198)	Dark / Flying	—	Honchkrow (#430)	It is interested in shiny things, to the point of fighting with Pokémon like Meowth and Gabite over it. It may give them to Trainers it trusts. It leads chasing predators around dark mountains to lose them, and does the same to travelers as a prank. It is seen as an omen of bad luck, with sayings dedicated to keeping it away. Honchkrow have murders of at least 100 Murkrow at their call.
Slowking Yadoking (ヤドキング)^{[† 14]} (0199)	Water / Psychic	Slowpoke (#079)	—	If a Shellder latches onto a Slowpoke's head, it releases venom into its brain, causing a chemical chain reaction that gives it an intellect comparable to award-winning scientists. When Slowking yawns, the Shellder releases more venom, making it more intelligent. It stays calm at all times, planning around situations before acting, and seeking knowledge about the world. It has battles of wit with Oranguru, usually ending in draws. If the Shellder comes off of its head, it forgets everything and reverts to being a Slowpoke. It has a Poison/Psychic-type Galarian form.
Misdreavus Mūma (ムウマ)^{[† 10]} (0200)	Ghost	—	Mismagius (#429)	It feeds on people's fear, and stores it on the orbs around its neck. To that end, it may scream or cry, sneak up on them and yank their hair, or imitate the voices of weeping people and children. Its orbs emit constant shrieking sounds. A nocturnal species, it sleeps during daytime, and goes out to scare others at night. It is thought to be related to Flutter Mane.
Unown Unown (アンノーン)^{[† 20]} (0201)	Psychic	No evolution		Unown has 28 different forms: 26 representing each letter in the Latin alphabet, one for a question mark, and one for an exclamation mark. It is said to resemble ancient hieroglyphs from ancient tablets. Historians question whether or not Unown precede them. Multiple Unown can work together to warp reality and travel to and from an alternate dimension that acts as their home. Unown have currently unclear connections with Arceus, appearing en masse when it uses its power. It is unknown if Unown use telepathy or electromagnetic waves to communicate with each other, but the presence of multiple Unown in an area interferes with radio signals.
Wobbuffet Sōnansu (ソーナンス)^{[† 21]} (0202)	Psychic	Wynaut (#360)	—	^[65]^[66]^[67]
Girafarig Kirinriki (キリンリキ)^{[† 9]} (0203)	Normal / Psychic	—	Farigiraf (#981)	Girafarig is a Pokémon based on a giraffe. Girafarig has two heads; a giraffe-like head on its front half, which controls the actions of the body, and a small fanged head on its tail which bites at anything that gets too close to it.^[68] The tail head has been compared to a Chain Chomp from the Mario franchise.^[69] Girafarig's name derives from the word "giraffe",^[9] however, the name in both English and Japanese is palindromic, meaning it can be read backwards as well as forwards.^[70] This was originally reflected in an early design of Girafarig, where instead of the tail head, the back half mirrored the front half.^[12] Additionally, a scrapped pre-evolution was discovered in the Spaceworld demo, consisting of a conjoined pair of ghosts.^[71] In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Girafarig evolves into Farigiraf.^[72]
Pineco Kunugidama (クヌギダマ)^{[† 9]} (0204)	Bug	—	Forretress (#205)	It spits a glue-like fruit to stick tree bark to its shell in order to make it thicker. It hangs on a tree branch, waiting for prey such as Cutiefly. If the tree is shaken while it is eating, it falls down and explodes.
Forretress Foretosu (フォレトス)^{[† 9]} (0205)	Bug / Steel	Pineco (#204)	—	It conceals its body in a steel-hard shell, which it opens to capture prey, and can shoot pieces of to defend itself. Because it opens and closes its shell faster than the eye can see, its appearance under the shell is unknown.
Dunsparce Nokotchi (ノコッチ)^{[† 9]} (0206)	Normal	—	Dudunsparce (#982)	Its design inspired by the mythical Japanese creature Tsuchinoko.^[73] Its tiny wings allow it to float slightly. Scientists believe it used them to fly in the sky. It hides or flees from potential predators by drilling holes into the ground with its tail. It gets along with Diglett, and the two species share tunnels with each other.
Gligar Gligar (グライガー)^{[† 19]} (0207)	Ground / Flying	—	Gliscor (#472)	It glides silently through the air, latches on the enemy's face with its hind legs and wings, and jabs them with its poisonous stinger. After gliding, it hops back to its nest. It lives in mountainous areas.
Steelix Haganēru (ハガネール)^{[† 3]} (0208)	Steel / Ground	Onix (#095)	Mega Evolution	The Pokédex states that, under immense pressure underground, an Onix has its rock-like body compressed into diamonds to evolve into Steelix. Physicists of the University of Leicester calculated the plausibility of such a metasomatic process: It would require pressures of 4.5–6 gigapascals at a temperature of 900 to 1,300 °C (1,650 to 2,370 °F) over a period of billions of years for this conversion to take place. Assuming these conditions, the resulting Steelix would also be substantially smaller than given in the Pokédex entry.^[74] Steelix is described as living further down than Onix, toward the earth's core, and reaching significant size. A Mega Evolution was created for it in generation VI.
Snubbull Burū (ブルー)^{[† 9]} (0209)	Fairy^{[nb 3]}	—	Granbull (#210)	It sleeps for half of the day, and has an acute sense of smell. Despite its appearance, it is affectionate, playful, and timid. It tries to scare enemies away, as opposed to fighting them. It is popular with women who find it cute.
Granbull Granbull (グランブル)^{[† 9]} (0210)	Fairy^{[nb 3]}	Snubbull (#209)	—	Its jaws are heavy, so it struggles to keep balance. Despite its appearance and strength, it is more affectionate and timid than Snubbull, and prefers to stay out of fights. It will only attack if startled, at which point it will bite or flail at potential enemies. It is popular with children.
Qwilfish Harīsen (ハリーセン)^{[† 9]} (0211)	Water / Poison	No evolution^{[nb 6]}		In order to fire its poisonous spikes that evolved from scales, it must drink at least 2.6 gallons of water all at once. It can fire those spikes in all directions by pressurizing the water in its body. Due to its body shape and single fin, it struggles with swimming. Fishermen try to catch it after it fires its spikes and becomes defenseless. It is based on porcupine fish.^[75] It has a Dark/Poison-type Hisuian form.
Scizor Hassamu (ハッサム)^{[† 12]} (0212)	Bug / Steel	Scyther (#123)	Mega Evolution	It uses its eye-patterned pincers to scare foes into thinking it has 3 heads. Its pincers account for a third of its body weight, and are said to be able to crush anything. It has a body of steel and is not fazed by regular attacks. It does not use its wings to fly, but to regulate its body temperature so it does not melt in battle. It gained a Mega Evolution in generation VI.
Shuckle Tsubotsubo (ツボツボ)^{[† 9]} (0213)	Bug / Rock	No evolution		^[76]^[77]^[78]
Heracross Heracross (ヘラクロス)^{[† 5]} (0214)	Bug / Fighting	—	Mega Evolution	^[79]^[80]^[81]^[82]^[83]^[84]^[85]^[86]^[87]
Sneasel Nyūra (ニューラ)^{[† 9]} (0215)	Dark / Ice	—	Weavile (#461)	Its design is inspired by the mythical Japanese creature Kamaitachi.^[73] It climbs trees with its claws to steal bird Pokémon's eggs from unguarded nests. Two Sneasel may team up with others to steal eggs, with one luring the parents away and the other taking the eggs, but fights will usually break out over which one will eat them. It has a Fighting/Poison-type Hisuian form.
Teddiursa Himeguma (ヒメグマ)^{[† 12]} (0216)	Normal	—	Ursaring (#217)	Its paws are constantly soaked and honey, and it is constantly licking them. It can make honey by mixing pollen collected by Beedrill with berries, or steal it from Combee hives. When it finds honey, the mark on its head glows. When nervous, it licks its paws. Every set of paws is said to taste different.
Ursaring Ringuma (リングマ)^{[† 5]} (0217)	Normal	Teddiursa (#216)	Ursaluna (#901)	While it is skilled at climbing, it prefers snapping trees with its forelegs and collecting their fallen berries to eat. It marks trees bearing particularly good fruit with its claws. It has an acute sense of smell, allowing it to find food underground or in streams. Its favorite food is honey. It competes with Primeape for food.
Slugma Magumaggu (マグマッグ)^{[† 9]} (0218)	Fire	—	Magcargo (#219)	Its circulatory system is composed almost entirely of magma. To prevent it from cooling off and turning brittle, it seeks warmer places like volcanoes to live in, and never stops moving.
Magcargo Magcargo (マグカルゴ)^{[† 9]} (0219)	Fire / Rock	Slugma (#218)	—	Its body temperature is approximately 18,000 °F (10,000 °C). Its shell is made of cooled magma, though it is brittle enough to break from a touch. It can dip itself in lava to recover. This description would imply Magcargo is hotter than the surface of the sun.^[88]
Swinub Urimū (ウリムー)^{[† 9]} (0220)	Ice / Ground	—	Piloswine (#221)	It uses its nose to dig through snow to find food. Its favorite food is a type of mushroom that grows under dead grass. If it smells something enticing, it will rush to the source of the smell. It may discover hot springs while digging.
Piloswine Inomū (イノムー)^{[† 9]} (0221)	Ice / Ground	Swinub (#220)	Mamoswine (#473)	Its thick fur allows it to live in cold environments. Its tusks are made of ice, and it uses them to dig through ice and snow. Its hooves prevent it from slipping on ice. Tufts of fur cover its eyes, so it uses its nose to check its surroundings.
Corsola Sanīgo (サニーゴ)^{[† 9]} (0222)	Water / Rock	No evolution^{[nb 7]}		^[89]
Remoraid Teppouo (テッポウオ)^{[† 9]} (0223)	Water	—	Octillery (#224)	It is based on the remora.^[75] It may use its dorsal fin as a sucker to stick a Mantine and feed on the scraps it leaves, though it may also fight along. It can spit water up to 300 feet (91 meters) away as an attack, to knock prey like Burmy out of the air.
Octillery Okutan (オクタン)^{[† 9]} (0224)	Water	Remoraid (#223)	—	It grabs its foes and bashes their heads in with its skull, which is as hard as stone.

It is the leader of the Legendary Bird trio and the mascot for Pokémon Silver and SoulSilver. It debuted in the second movie, where it spoke and was one of the heroes. Lugia was originally conceived by Takeshi Shudo, the head writer of the first Pokémon anime. Lugia had been designed solely for Pokémon:The Movie 2000, and Shudo expressed surprise that the creature was later featured in the video games and TV show.^[118] Lugia, who possessed a speaking role in the film, was given a masculine voice. However, Shudo intended Lugia as a creature that was simultaneously male and female. This dual nature was intended to embody one of the film's main messages, that people can be different and yet coexist without resorting to conflict. He showed "overwhelming regret that he allowed Lugia to be voiced by a man", considering Lugia, the "creator of all life on Earth", to be a "maternal Pokémon". Stating that "it was too late, we couldn't suddenly change Lugia into a female", the change was so significant to him that it made him start "gulping down alcohol and drugs" and "feel like [he] wanted to die". During the final few years of his life, Shudo became "obsessed" with Lugia, writing numerous blog posts on the subject.^[118]^{[unreliable source?]}

It is the mascot for Pokémon Gold and HeartGold.
Celebi Celebi (セレビィ)^{[† 25]} (0251)	Psychic / Grass	No evolution		Celebi has the power to travel through time.

It has been regarded as one of the best Pokémon by multiple websites, including The Escapist, IGN, GamesRadar+, and authors Tracey West and Katherine Noll.^[119]^[120]^[121]^[122] Variety editor Robert Koehler identified Celebi as a Pokémon that appeals to young girls.^[123]

It stores berries in its shell, which decompose with its digestive fluids and become a gooey liquid, which it then consumes. It also secretes that fluid from its toes, and uses it to carve holes in rocks. It can be mixed with berries to make juice.
