'''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''' ''Silver'') is the [[rival]] character of the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}} and their [[Generation IV]] remakes, playing opposite {{ga|Gold}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Kotone}} in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{game|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

He is the son of [[Team Rocket]] [[Boss]] [[Giovanni]], and was long speculated as such due to the reference made toward Giovanni's red-haired child in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as his {{adv|Silver|Pokémon Adventures counterpart}} also being Giovanni's son. His connection to Giovanni was finally revealed via an event in HeartGold and SoulSilver activated by taking a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Celebi}} to the shrine in [[Ilex Forest]].

==In the games==
[[File:Gold Silver Silver.png|thumb|left|Artwork from Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]

Silver first appears in the [[Generation II]] games, lurking outside of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab. During the player's journey to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, Silver makes his move, stealing one of Elm's two remaining [[starter Pokémon]] (coincidentally always the one that is strong against the player's choice). He will meet with the player on the outskirts of [[Cherrygrove City]], battling to get through. 

Silver shows a strong dislike of Team Rocket. He considers them to be weak, and vows to take them, as well as any other weak Trainer, down. He steals a {{p|Sneasel}} from a Trainer in [[Cianwood City]] and, while {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Kotone}} attempts to take down Team Rocket in [[Mahogany Town]] and [[Goldenrod City]], interferes to prove himself. It is in the Mahogany hideout that he meets with [[Lance]], [[Champion]] of the [[Elite Four]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Silver challenges Lance and is easily defeated by the dragon trainer, who then proceeds to berate Silver for his callous ways towards training Pokémon. Though Silver is outraged for losing to someone with such an attitude, the loss and Lance's words ultimately set him on the path to becoming a better person. 

By the time the player reaches the Indigo Plateau, Silver battles against the player not out of malice, but to prove that he is a good Trainer. He uses a {{p|Crobat}} during this battle, illustrating that he finally considers his Pokémon to be partners and friends rather than tools, as a Crobat can only be obtained if it loves its trainer. This is further expressed in Generation IV when his [[starter Pokémon]] starts to [[Walking Pokémon|follow him around]], much like the player's Pokémon; Professor Elm even expressly states that Silver's Pokémon have come to trust him when Silver returns to the lab, presumably to return the starter he stole.

Following Silver's final encounter with the player and after the player has become Champion, Silver can be found training on Tuesday and Thursday in the [[Dragon's Den]], and will appear at the Indigo Plateau on Monday and Wednesday to challenge the player, should he or she appear. He does not appear at all on the weekends, indicating that he may in fact take the day off, resting his Pokémon. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Lance and [[Clair]] will sometimes appear in the Dragon's Den and challenge the player and Silver to a [[tag battle]].

In terms of personality, Silver is the darkest of the rivals in the series. While most other rivals are generally good-natured, or at least zestful enough to crack a joke at the player, Silver is (at first) cruel, hateful, power-obsessed and even physically abusive, pushing the {{player}} character around several times. Even after he starts to become kinder, he remains a rather serious individual. He does, however, express genuine happiness when Elm allows him to keep the Pokémon he stole.

Giovanni and Silver's relationship is revealed in HeartGold and SoulSilver if the player brings a promotional {{p|Celebi}} to the [[Ilex Shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]]. Celebi takes the player back in time three years to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion because of his defeat at the hands of {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from them failing his father.

===Pokémon===
The [[starter Pokémon]] that Silver has will depend on which Pokémon the player chose to bring on Professor Elm's errand at the beginning of the game. As with all [[rival]]s, it will be the Pokémon whose type weakens that of the player's starter.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Silver_in_the_Anime.png‎|thumb|left|Silver in the anime]]
Like {{ga|Brendan}}, he played no role in the anime, despite being a main character in the games. Similarly, his only appearance in the anime is a brief cameo, in the original Japanese opening of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' ([[A New Oath]]), where he was shown with his {{p|Nidoking}} defeating {{jo|Jimmy}}.

[[Paul]] seems to be based on Silver, in appearance and personality. He also has most of the Pokémon as {{adv|Silver|Silver's manga counterpart}}. It is unknown if Paul has ever met him.

==Trivia==
[[File:Silvergirl.jpg|thumb|220px|Concept art depicting Silver.]]
* Some fans call him "Kamon" to discern him from {{adv|Silver|his Pokémon Adventures counterpart}} and {{an|Silver|an anime character}}. The name is taken from the optional names for the {{ga|Gold|player}} in Silver, much as some call {{ga|Blue}} "Gary", where the name is found as one of the options for the player in {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, and the rival in {{game3|Red and Blue|Red|s}}.
* As a possible reference to Silver's training schedule, {{ga|Barry}} also can be battled again (on Saturdays and Sundays) after the player becomes champion. He can also be found training at [[Stark Mountain]] during the week in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. 
*In [[Generation II]], If Silver's stolen starter is {{p|Totodile}}, he uses {{p|Croconaw}} at level 16 in his second battle, despite Totodile only being able to evolve from level 18 onwards. This error is corrected in [[Generation IV]], though he still uses Croconaw, due to his stolen starter being level 18 in Generation IV.
**Additionally, if Silver's stolen starter is {{p|Cyndaquil}}, he uses {{p|Quilava}} at level 32 in his fourth battle in Generation II (level 34 in Generation IV), while the other two are their final forms (which is normal).
*In his anime cameo, his only known Pokémon is a {{p|Nidoking}}. All other game rivals that have made anime appearances have been seen with the {{type2|Water}} starter from their home region, indicating another possible Pokémon for Silver to have (which would also fit in weakening [[Jimmy's Typhlosion]]).
*Two of Silver's Pokémon in his final team received evolutions in [[Generation IV]]. The same two Pokémon are also the only members of his team that did not evolve twice.
**Furthermore, {{p|Sneasel}} is the only member of his final team that is not part of a {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|three-stage evolutionary line}} as of [[Generation IV]].
**Perhaps coincidentally, neither of these Pokémon's new evolutions are available in HeartGold and SoulSilver until after the National Pokédex is obtained, as their evolution methods require certain forces external to the Pokémon (rather than knowing a [[move]], as the five new Johto Pokédex additions do).
**Additionally, {{p|Sneasel}} is Silver's main partner aside from the {{p|Totodile}} he steals in the manga version.
*Silver is the only [[rival]] to start with a [[starter Pokémon]] whose final team does not include the three starter [[Elemental type|types]] ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Fire}}) or differ at all aside from the starter itself.
*Silver's backsprite has the same pose as {{ga|Lucas}}'s backsprite.
* Silver is the only rival so far to be battled before he can be named. As a temporarily unnamed character, he is known as ??? in Generation II and as Passerby Boy in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* In Generation IV he is the only player or rival character to still be named after a colour.
