Entei (Japanese: エンテイ Entei) is a Legendary Fire-type Pokémon. First appearing in the Generation II games, it is one of the three Legendary Beasts created by Ho-oh when the Brass Tower burned hundreds of years ago.

Entei comes with the Ability Pressure, which causes the foe to use two PP instead of one each time it uses a move.

Entei does not evolve, and no Pokémon evolves into it.

Biology

Physiology

Entei is a lion-like creature covered in brown fur. Entei has gray plates and cape that make Entei look as if it's carrying a volcano on its back. Entei has white paws and black bands on its legs. Entei has a red face with white plate that resembles a handle-bar moustache on its face, and a three-pointed yellow crest on its forehead.

Gender differences

Entei is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Entei can shoot flames that are hotter than volcanic magma.

Behavior

Habitat

As a member of the Legendary Beast Trio, Entei are constantly on the move with no set place to hang around in.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the anime

Two Entei have appeared in the anime...sort of. The first appearance was in the movie Spell of the Unown, in which an illusionary Entei appeared to Molly Hale after she made a wish on the Unown. He served as a replacement father for her while her real father, Spencer, was trapped in the Unown world. Molly's connection of Entei to her father is driven home by their shared voice actors (Naoto Takenaka in Japanese and Dan Green in English).

The real Entei later appeared in the episode Entei at Your Own Risk.

In the manga

Pokémon Special

Entei was awakened by Yellow along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around Kanto and Johto looking for trainers to help them defeat the Mask of Ice to free Ho-oh. Entei eventually pairs up with Blaine, and later Silver. In Pokémon Special, Entei's fire has a healing effect, burning away disease and evil auras. Blaine uses this fire to burn away the Mewtwo cells infecting his arm, and DJ Mary's Smeargle copies this power using Sketch.

In the TCG

Other appearances

Super Smash Brothers Melee

When released from a Poké Ball, Entei unleashes a volcanic Fire Spin that deals a lot of damage to any opponents that get trapped in it.
