LIST OF POKéMON (421-440)

(Redirected from Happiny)
At the core of the multi-billion dollar ''Pokémon'' media franchise of various electronic games, ongoing anime, several manga series, collectible cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri are 493 distinctive fictional species classified as the titular Pokémon. These creatures and entities reside throughout the various regions of the fictional Pokémon world and can be caught by humans designated as Pokémon Trainers, and 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, and through age and experience many 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.

Cherrim


is the evolved form of Cherubi. During normal weather conditions, it appears as two crossing purple petals with a short purple stem, a green leafy sepal covering, and two deep pink feet. Similar to Castform and unlike Cherubi, however, Cherrim's appearance changes to the cherry blossom form during sunny conditions.[1][2] Though the bud form is quite docile, the flower form is much more cheerful.[3]
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, its Flower Gift ability strengthens it and another Pokémon when it is sunny.1 Cherrim learns the existing attack Sunny Day to make the weather sunny,1 as well as a new attack called Lucky Chant, which prevents critical hits. Cherrim can also learn a new attack, Worry Seed, which temporarily changes the target's ability to Insomnia.
Cherrim was designed by Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori, and conceptual artwork was drawn by Sugimori. It was revealed in the August 2006 issue of CoroCoro Comic,[4] and first appeared in ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'', published in Japan on September 28, 2006. Its English name was revealed at American International Toy Fair in February 2007.

Shellos


is a "sea slug Pokémon" that exists in two different forms, an example of allopatric speciation. A pink Shellos comes from the west of Sinnoh's mountain range, and a blue Shellos comes from the east. Shellos learns three Ground attacks, which are the second generation Mud-Slap, the third generation Mud Sport, and the fourth generation Mud Bomb. It can have one of two abilities: the pre-existing Sticky Hold, and the new ability Storm Drain, which draws Water-type attacks to this Pokémon during a double battle.
Shellos was designed by Ken Sugimori and Satoshi Tajiri. Sugimori also drew conceptual artwork of Shellos. It first appeared in ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'', published in Japan on September 28, 2006. Its English name was revealed at American International Toy Fair in February 2007. Junichi Masuda commented in the May 2007 issue of Nintendo Power that "There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' that we were able to put in this one [''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'']", likely referring to Shellos.[5]
In the anime, Zoey is shown to have a western Shellos and uses it in a contest.

Gastrodon


is the evolved form of Shellos. Like its pre-evolved form, Gastrodon is a "sea slug Pokémon" that follows allopatric speciation; those found in western Sinnoh are pink and brown, while eastern Gastrodon are blue and green. In ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'', the creature is used by Cynthia, the Pokémon League Champion. Gastrodon uses the same two abilities as Shellos.
Gastrodon was designed by Ken Sugimori and Satoshi Tajiri. Sugimori also drew conceptual artwork of Gastrodon. It first appeared in ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'', published in Japan on September 28, 2006. Junichi Masuda commented in the May 2007 issue of Nintendo Power that "There's also a sea-slug Pokémon that we weren't able to put in ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' that we were able to put in this one [''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'']", likely referring to Shellos. It is not stated if this includes Gastrodon.[5]

Ambipom


is the evolved form of Aipom. It appears with two tails, which have fingers tipped in red, and two long hairs at the top of its head.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Ambipom has the ability "Technician", which increases the power of moves such as "Aerial Ace" and "Double Hit". It is used by the gym leader Volkner. Ambipom's name comes from Ambi which means two such as ambidextrous and Aipom the pre-evolution of Ambipom. Ambipom evolves from Aipom when Aipom levels up while knowing Double Attack. It is widely thought that Ash's Aipom will evolve into an Ambipom.

Drifloon


resembles a toy balloon with two strings and cross-like patch. Drifloon has a wispy cloud on its head, and the ends of its two strings resemble hearts. According to its Pokedex entry, it attempts to abduct children but is so light that it ends up being pulled along instead, much like it was a balloon on a string. Drifloon and its evolution are the only two pokemon that are ghost- and flying-type. Its classification as the 'Balloon' Pokémon is shared with Igglybuff and its evolutions Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff as well as the water/poison pokemon Qwilfish. The creature appears in ''Pokémon Diamond and Pearl'', and the episode "Fuwante and the North Wind Messenger" where it belongs to a Nurse Joy and her two daughters, Sayaki and Mai.

Both Bronzor and its evolution have poor Speed, Attack, and Special Attack, but extremely high Defense and Special Defense.

Happiny


is an exclusively female Pokémon that resembles Nurse Joy, with 3 round curls on her forehead and a ponytail on top of her hair.
