# For [[rival]] characters and other recurring characters, only their signature Pokémon may have an article created about them.

If a rival's signature Pokémon does nothing more than battle or has no major impact on the plot, then it is not notable for an article and instead should have a section on its Trainer's page. | # For [[rival]] characters and other recurring characters, only their signature Pokémon may have an article created about them.
