Entei (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Fire legendary Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver. Entei is one of the Legendary beasts of Johto.

It appears to be distantly related to the Paradox Pokémon Gouging Fire.

Physiology and Behaviour[]

Entei is a massive, lion, quadrupedal Pokémon with some mastiff qualities. It is covered in brown fur and a long, light gray cloud of smoke running along its entire back. It has gray plates on either side of the cloud and a plate beneath the cream belly fur on its chest. Entei has gray paws with brown pads and black cuff-like bands on its legs. Both front paws house three small, white retractable claws, which can be seen in battle or in Pokémon Camp. Its main faceplate is red and shaped like fins or a six-sided star. A gray plate, resembling a horseshoe mustache, covers its muzzle. It also has a yellow crest with three sloped points on its forehead and red eyes. Entei's forehead appears to resemble a kabuto.

An Entei is born whenever a new volcano appears. It is also said that whenever Entei roars, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world. Entei races across grasslands at high speeds. It does this due to being unable to contain its extreme power Entei is said to represent the passion of magma. Entei can unleash massive bursts of fire capable of destroying anything it touches. Entei's fire is said to be hotter than the magma of a volcano.

Appearances[]

Main Pokémon games[]

After discovering it and the other legendary beasts, it roams Johto. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Entei got a ancient Paradox Pokémon counterpart in the form of Gouging Fire.

Other Pokémon games[]

In Pokémon Colosseum, the player can snag it from Dakim at Mt. Battle.

In Pokémon Ranger, Gordor considers Entei to be the best and most loyal of the Legendary trio. The player captures it when it is first unleashed in the Jungle Relic, but it is still taken by the Go-Rock Squad, using their new Super Styler. Entei later acts as the final boss of the game.

In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Entei encounters the player with Archen after Latios and Latias are turned to stone. He later battles them and is later turned to stone. Along with the other Pokémon turned stone, Entei helps the player escape the Voidlands.

Trophy descriptions[]

Brawl[]

A Volcano Pokémon. When Entei barks, a volcano erupts, and it's said that a new Entei is born every time a volcano appears. A proverb claims that the warmth of summer is created by Entei racing through the clouds. Entei uses Fire Spin, a flaming vortex that traps and damages foes for multiple turns.

3DS/Wii U[]

One of the three Legendary Pokémon that rose from the ashes of the Burned Tower. It has a distinct white mane running down its back. When brought into battle, it unleashes a powerful Fire Spin attack that pulls in enemies, damages them, and then launches them as the fires peter out. Ouch!
