History Characters / PokemonGenerationIXTinkatinkToMiraidon

* ExtraOreDinary: A line of Steel-type Pokémon. Notably, however, this typing seems to be based on their gigantic metal hammer rather than any physical attribute of Tinkaton.

* DropTheHammer: The line wields hammers that get larger and more elaborate as they evolve. They make the hammers themselves from scrap metal that they collect, typically by stealing it from other Steel-type Pokémon. Tinkaton even gets a 160-power Steel-type SecretArt in Gigaton Hammer.

* SecretArt: Gigaton Hammer, a 160 base power (effectively 240 BP after STAB) Steel-type move that cannot be selected twice in a row.

* AwesomeButImpractical: In-universe. The treasure chest Gimmighoul hides in gives it solid defense, but the heavy weight means it moves very slowly. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration This is even reflected in its gameplay stats. Chest Form Gimmighoul's Base Speed is 10, compared to its Roaming Form's 80.]]

1001: Wo-Chien / Chionjen (チオンジェン ''chionjen'')\\

* YouHaveResearchedBreathing: You can't nickname the Koraidon/Miraidon you travel with until its Apex Build/Ultimate Mode is unlocked after beating the game, which allows access to its status screen.

* MagikarpPower: Finizen has middling stats and doesn't evolve until level 38, so it'll be stuck with those stats for quite a while. Palafin's stats in its Zero Form still aren't anything to write home about, but it becomes a MasterOfAll once it shifts into its Hero Form. Of course, the fact that it relies on switching out to do this means that any opponent with an AntiEscapeMechanism move or ability will effectively cripple it.

** Once the ride Koraidon/Miraidon you received fully joins your party (becoming able to battle), it joins you with a maxed-out friendship. This is because this Koraidon/Miraidon has been with you since the start of the game and thus would have bonded with you and your party Pokémon all the way to the end-game of the main scenario to post-game, having a maxed-out friendship as a result.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Gholdengo is one of the friendliest Pokémon out there, but it just so happens to have a base stat total of 550 with a Special Attack stat on par with legendaries such as ''Darkrai, Lunala, and Miraidon''. Coupled with the fact that Ghost/Steel is statistically the best defensive type in the game means that it both hits hard and take hits like a champ. Good as Gold basically removes all other threats to it's dominance.

* PsychosomaticPowerOutage: The reason why the friendly Raidon is not able to assume its battle stance until the very end of the main game is due to a trauma inflicted on it by its more aggressive counterpart.

* ExcaliburInTheRust: In their shiny forms, only the metal parts on their bodies (including their hammers) are brown-colored as if to resemble rust. Not that it makes their weapons less usable though...

* MeaningfulName: A dozing don of the lake, they also have the Japanese word "dōzo" in their name, which means "Please help yourself" — fitting for a Pokémon resembling a sushi chef.

* {{Lunacy}}: Greavard evolves into Houndstone at Level 30 at night.

* FlyingCar: Notably, both Varoom and Revaroom have demonstrated the ability to levitate in the air in both the wild and battle. The Revavaroom line is usually seen flying around instead of just driving on the ground.[[note]]Ironically, neither of them have the Levitate ability, which would've helped them avoid Ground-type moves given their typing.[[/note]]

Crystalline Pokémon resembling flowers that live within caves. Glimmora's petals are known to resemble Tera Jewels, but the nature of this connection remains unknown.

* JackOfAllStats: Downplayed. Besides its low Attack and high Special Attack, all of Glimmora's stats are in the 80s.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They like dropping large objects regardless of the damage they cause (or, in the case of Titan Bombirdier, ''boulders''). Whether or not it's because it enjoys being a {{jerk|ass}} is, as usual with some Pokémon, left up to interpretation.

* DarkIsEvil: {{Implied|Trope}}. It's partly a Dark-type, enjoys dropping rocks and other objects, and the "evil" part comes from it not really caring about what or who the objects happen to land on. BlueAndOrangeMorality still applies, though.

* ForTheEvulz: It likes dropping objects like rocks from above purely because they find it fun. The "evulz" part comes from its part-Dark typing.

[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1012poltchageist.png]]
[[caption-width-right:240:Poltchageist]]

A pair of Grass/Ghost types from Kitakami who convergently resemble Sinistea and Polteageist. They come in two forms -- Counterfeit and Artisan, which evolve into Unremarkable and Masterpiece -- which are distinguished only by a stamp of authenticity on their undersides. Poltchageist is said to have been formed from the lingering regrets of a tea ceremony master who died before he perfected his craft, and sprinkles powder onto food that drains the life-force of those who drink it. Sinistcha also tries to drain others' life-force by pretending to be tea, but it usually doesn't work. Its Masterpiece form is adored by collectors.
----
* SecretArt: Sinistcha is the only Pokémon to learn Matcha Gotcha, a Grass-type attack that hits both opponents in a double battle and heals the user by 50% of the damage dealt, and may also burn them.

!1017: Ogerpon (オーガポン ''oogapon'')
[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1017ogerpon.png]]
[[caption-width-right:240:Ogerpon, wearing the Teal Mask]]

A Grass-type Legendary Pokémon that lives atop Oni Mountain in Kitakami. It's mischievous, curious, and always wears one of four masks in battle. By default, it wears the Teal Mask and is a pure Grass-type; the Wellspring Mask turns it into a Grass/Water type; the Hearthflame Mask turns it into a Grass/Fire type; and the Cornerstone Mask turns it into a Grass/Rock type. A long time ago, Ogerpon arrived in Kitakami with a human from a far-away land, and were shunned by the Mossuri Villagers. The mask-maker took pity on them and made masks for them so they could fit in, but one day the Loyal Three stole the Wellspring, Hearthflame, and Cornerstone Masks. Ogerpon killed them in retaliation.
----

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Ogerpon always has the Lonely nature, which reflects how it was alone for so long after its human companion disappeared.
* GreenThumb: All of its forms are Grass-type. It wields a club wrapped in ivy that it uses for its signature move, and has plants sprouting between its toes.
* SecretArt: It's the only Pokémon to learn Ivy Cudgel, a physical Grass attack with an increased critical hit chance that changes type depending on its form.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Most people in Mossuri Village fear Ogerpon as a terrifying ogre that steals people's souls. Only the mask-maker's descendants know the truth at first: people shunned it due to its unusual appearance, and it only killed the Loyal Three because they stole its masks that helped it fit in.
* OneGenderRace: Ogerpon is always female.

%% Ogerpon

* ManOfKryptonite: Gholdengo serves as a counter to all of the Loyal Three, resisting or being outright immune to all of their STAB attacks while being able to deal super-effective damage to both Munkidori and Fezandipiti.

* TrapMaster: It's capable of learning all three Entry Hazard moves (Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock) in addition to having the ability Toxic Debris, which scatters Toxic Spikes upon being hit by a physical attack. Ironically, Glimmora is also good at ''removing'' said entry hazards with its Mortal Spin move.
