:''This article is about the [[Key Item]] named Bicycle. For the bicycle models available in the [[Hoenn]] games, see [[Mach Bike]] and [[Acro Bike]].''
A '''Bicycle''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|じてんしゃ|jitensha}}''' ''Bicycle'') is a [[Key Item]] obtained in the games to facilitate [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|faster movement]]. [[Cycling Road]]s can only be navigated on while cycling. They are usually obtained from [[Bicycle Shop]]s.
{{ItemInfobox/head
 
In [[Generation VII]], several [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] take over the role of transporting the player across the land at higher speeds, such as {{p|Tauros}} Charge.
 
==In the games==
===Types of Bicycles===
In most games there is only one type of Bicycle; however, in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], there are two types of Bicycle: the Acro Bike and the Mach Bike. The player can only have one at a time and must trade in their current Bicycle at [[Rydel's Cycles]] to obtain the other, although in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire the player can eventually obtain the ability to carry both at once.
 
All Bicycles cannot be ridden inside of buildings or if the player is accompanied by a person. In {{game|Yellow}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[walking Pokémon]] returns to its [[Poké Ball]] while the player is cycling. Prior to Generation V, bikes cannot be ridden in [[Snow tile|snow]]. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, bikes cannot be ridden in [[gate]]s.
 
====Regular Bicycle====
[[File:Key Bicycle Sprite.png|thumb|Bicycle obtain sprite from the Generation V games]]
In all games but [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]] there is only one type of Bicycle.
 
In Generations I and III, [[Miracle Cycle]] is selling Bicycles for {{Pdollar}}1,000,000, which is {{PDollar}}1 more than it is possible for the player to obtain in these games. Instead, the player must use a [[Bike Voucher]] to buy one.
 
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player can press the B Button to switch between the third and fourth gears. Fourth gear is faster than third gear and allows the player to ride up {{DL|bike obstacles|muddy slopes}} and jump further from bike {{DL|bike obstacles|ramps}}. Third gear can jump bike ramps, but does not jump as far.
 
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player can choose between a green or a yellow bicycle, the choice having no impact on the bike itself.

====Acro Bike====
A '''Bicycle''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|じてんしゃ|jitensha}}''' ''Bicycle'') is a [[Key Item]] obtained in the games to facilitate [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|faster movement]]. They are usually obtained from [[Bicycle Shop]]s.
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Acro Bike.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of the Acro Bike from {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}]]
{{main|Acro Bike}}
An '''Acro Bike''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ダートじてんしゃ|Dāto Jitensha}}''' ''Dirt Bike'') travels at the same speed as regular Bicycles, but it also allows {{player}}s to perform tricks, such as wheelies and bunny hops, which let players reach special areas. It can also be used for traveling on white rails found on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} and in the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]].


Bunny hopping up and down on an Acro Bike in [[tall grass]] can cause [[wild Pokémon]] to appear, but does not count as steps towards the {{DL|Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Game}} or {{cat|Repels|Repel}}.
==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head‎|key items}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev1|RBY}}/{{gameabbrev1|RGBY}}<br>{{gameabbrev2|GSC}}<br>{{gameabbrev3|FRLG}}{{gameabbrev3|E}}<br>{{gameabbrev4|DPPtHGSS}}<br>{{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}}<br>{{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}}<br>{{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}}|N/A|N/A}}
|}
|}


Unlike the Mach Bike, if the player rides on [[Seaside Cycling Road]] with the Acro Bike, their time won't be recorded, due to the Bicycle being "easy to turn" in comparison.
* In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[remake]]s, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Miracle Cycle]] in [[Cerulean City]] sells Bicycles for {{pdollar}}1,000,000, which is {{PDollar}}1 more than it is possible for the player to obtain in these games. Instead, the player must use a [[Bike Voucher]] to buy one.


=====Tricks=====
===Effect===
* Hold B Button (less than 2 seconds): standing wheelie
The Bicycle allows for faster traveling than walking, [[Running Shoes|running]], or [[Roller Skates|skating]]. It also allows the player to pass the [[Cycling Road]]s on {{rt|16|Kanto}} to {{rtn|18|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]] and {{rt|206|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]].
* Hold B Button (more than 2 seconds): bunny hop
* Hold B, then {{tt|+Control Pad|D-pad}}: moving wheelie or bunny hop
* Press B and +Control Pad direction (perpendicular to direction of travel) simultaneously: sideways hop
* Press B and +Control Pad direction (opposite to direction of travel) simultaneously: hops and reverses direction


<gallery>
The Bicycle cannot be ridden inside of buildings or if the player is accompanied by a person. In {{game|Yellow}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[walking Pokémon]] returns to its [[Poké Ball]] while the player is cycling. Prior to Generation V, bikes cannot be ridden in [[Snow tile|snow]].

In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and their [[remake|remade]] counterparts, {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player has a choice of two bike models, the [[Mach Bike]] and the [[Acro Bike]]. Both bicycles have different properties that allow the player to reach places they otherwise could not, but they typically cannot have both at the same time. They can switch models at [[Rydel's Cycles]].

In [[Generation VII]], several [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] take over the role of transporting the player across the land at higher speeds, such as {{p|Tauros}} Charge.


=====Item details=====
====In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only====
{{Item
The player can switch between third and fourth gears by pressing the B button, which function similarly to the [[Acro Bike]] and [[Mach Bike]], respectively. Fourth gear is faster than third gear and allows the player to ride up {{DL|bike obstacles|muddy slopes}} and jump further from bike {{DL|bike obstacles|ramps}}. Third gear can jump bike ramps, but does not jump as far. In Diamond and Pearl only, bikes cannot be ridden in [[gate]]s.

|bag=Key items
|sprite2=Acro Bike VI
|sell=0
|effect=Use to move faster than walking or running (10.67 steps per second in [[Generation VI]]). Slower than the Mach Bike, but can perform tricks. Can be used to ride on [[Cycling Road]]s.
|effect2=Can be used to side-jump between {{DL|bike obstacles|rails and logs|rails}} and bunny hop along {{DL|bike obstacles|bumpy slopes}}.
|descrse=A folding bicycle capable of jumps and wheelies.
|descfrlg=A folding bicycle that is capable of stunts like jumps and wheelies.
|descoras=This folding Bike allows you to perform actions such as wheelies and bunny hops.
|descsm=This folding Bike allows you to perform actions such as wheelies and bunny hops.

}}


====Mach Bike====
====In {{g|X and Y}}====
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Mach Bike.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of the Mach Bike from {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}]]
The player can move in any direction using the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s Circle Pad. When the player has a choice between a green and yellow Bicycle when they obtain it. They cannot switch bikes once they pick one, but both Bicycles are functionally identical.
{{main|Mach Bike}}
The '''Mach Bike''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|マッハじてんしゃ|Mahha Jitensha}}''' ''Mach Bike'') allows {{player}}s to move a lot faster than regular Bicycles and the Acro Bike. It can move fast enough to ride straight up {{DL|bike obstacles|muddy slopes}}, or over [[Hole#Generation III|cracked tiles]] without falling through (which appear in [[Granite Cave]], the [[Sky Pillar]], and [[Mirage Tower]]{{sup/3|E}}) if the player has enough momentum. If the {{player}} collides with something, all momentum gained is lost and the speed resets.


On the [[Seaside Cycling Road]], a player's time and number of collisions while riding this Bicycle from the northern entrance to the southern exit are timed and recorded. This is part of the data sent over to other {{player}}s via [[record mixing]].

In ''[[PS241|Dreadful Dealing with Dusclops]]'', {{adv|Wally}} used a [[Mach Bike]] left for him by [[Norman]] at the base of the [[Sky Pillar]] to quickly ride over the cracked floors in order to scale up the tower. When Wally reached the 49th floor, he encountered a wild {{p|Dusclops}}, which created a {{wp|black hole}}, sucking in the Mach Bike before being defeated by [[Emerald's Sceptile|Wally's Grovyle]].
