Entei's Japanese name is likely a combination of 炎天 ''enten'', blazing heat, or just 炎 ''en'' – an alternate reading of ''honō'' – flame, and 皇帝 ''kōtei'', emperor. Its name can thus be written in kanji as 炎帝 (identical to the Chinese "{{wp|Yan Emperor|Yándì}}").

Entei (Japanese: エンテイ Entei) is a Template:Type2 legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is, along with Raikou and Suicune, one of the legendary beasts created by Ho-Oh after the burning of the Brass Tower. Out of the three beasts, Entei is said to represent the flames that burned the Brass Tower.

Entei was also a major character in the Pokémon movie Spell of the Unown.

Biology

Physiology

Entei is a massive lion-like Pokémon with some mastiff qualities. It is covered in brown fur with a long, thick mane covering its neck. It has gray plates surrounding the cape that makes it look as if smoke is coming out of a crater on its back, and a plate beneath the cream belly fur on its chest. Entei has white paws with apparently retractable claws and brown paw pads, and black cuff-like bands on its legs. It has a red face with a white plate that resembles a handlebar mustache on its face, and a three-pointed yellow crest on its forehead. Entei's head appears to resemble a kabuto, a samurai helmet.

It is said that an Entei is born whenever a volcano erupts. It is also said that whenever Entei roars, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world.

Gender differences

Entei is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Entei can shoot flames that are hotter than volcanic magma. It also sports limited mental powers. When it roars, it can make a volcano erupt on another part of the globe.

Behavior

Entei races headlong around the land.

Habitat

As a member of the legendary beast trio, Entei are constantly on the move with no set place to settle in. However, it is speculated that Entei (as well as the other legendary beasts) is not a unique species, as some Pokédex entries rumor that an Entei is born every time a new volcano is born and, at a point in Pokémon Ranger, Solana or Lunick says "Wow! An Entei!" rather than saying "Wow! Entei!"

Major appearances

Entei (movie 3)

Entei was a major character in the movie Spell of the Unown. In the movie, an illusionary Entei appeared to Molly Hale after she made a wish on the Unown.

Other

A real Entei first appeared in the episode Entei at Your Own Risk.

A shiny Entei appeared alongside Celebi, and the other members of its trio in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Minor appearances

A mirage Entei was used by the Mirage Master in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon.

Entei made a small cameo at the opening of Arceus and the Jewel of Life.

A Entei appeared in a Team Rocket fantasy in An Egg Scramble.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

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 Masked Man to free Ho-Oh. Entei eventually pairs up with Blaine, and later Silver. In this manga, Entei's fire has a healing effect, burning away disease and evil auras. It is also the move capable of permanently melting away the Masked Man's moving ice sculptures, which typically repair themselves from any attack. After it saves Silver and Gold's lives after their defeat against the Masked Man in the Lake of Rage, Blaine uses this fire to burn away the Mewtwo cells infecting his arm, and DJ Mary's Smeargle copies this power using Sketch. Once the Masked Man is defeated, Entei once again joins its comrades and roams the land of Johto once again. It has not been seen since.

In the TCG

Main article: Entei (TCG)

Other appearances

Trivia

  • Entei shares the same species name with Quilava and Typhlosion. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
  • Entei is somehow able to use Iron Tail, although it lacks a visible tail.
    • However, the ash/smoke-like flowing mane on its back slightly resembles a tail.
  • Entei is one of the fifteen Pokémon whose numbers are the same in more than one Pokédex-like listing, sharing its National Pokédex and Johto Pokédex numbers.
  • Entei has the highest base HP of all Fire-type Pokémon.
  • In Crystal, if the player plays Entei's cry in the Pokédex, then switches to Suicune or Raikou before the cry ends, the cry of Suicune or Raikou is changed.
  • The order that the beasts appear in the National Pokédex is the order of the events that happened at the Burned Tower: the lightning that started the fire (Raikou), the fire that consumed the Brass Tower (Entei), and the rain that quenched the fire (Suicune).
  • In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the front of Entei's neck is covered with fur, which doesn't correspond with its official artwork. This is corrected in Crystal.
  • Entei's Generation IV shiny sprites depict it with the sides of its face coloured purple as opposed to dark-grey seen in its sprites for all the other generations.

Origin

Entei is based on Chinese guardian lions, or Lions of Foo, creatures that are a mix of fully grown male lions and stocky, short muzzled breeds of dogs. (Originally, there were two different kinds of these statues: ones that were just pure lion, and the ones that were lion-dogs. The pure lion and lion-dog distiguishment still exists today, though most don't know of it; pure lions are seen more often with their mouth open and depicted more shaggy. It's possible Entei is also just based on this version.) They are often created in pairs, the male snarling or playing with a ball and the female with a cub. Their original significance was serving as guardians (like gargoyles upon churches) at Buddhist temples. The image of a ferocious beast would scare intruders away. This concurs with Entei being seen as a guardian in the 3rd movie, protecting Molly and her allies.

Like a real lion, Entei boasts a regal mane, long retractable claws, and a strong bulky yet agile body. His face is short and bears resemblance to a lion's skull- short and wedged, but with the unique flatness that ShiShi statues also bore. The yellow design on his head could be interpreted as a stylized crown or a kabuto helmet, and the gray above his mouth as a mustache, giving him a noble look. Lions are famed throughout Japan and China for being symbols of strength, paternity, justice, courage, and many other traits, they are in many myths and fables throughout time being heroes and legends. In China, the lion is the master of all felines, the defender of law, and the protector of sacred buildings. It is a symbol of power and success, and of royality and strenghth. Lions are also popularly known as symbols of fire.

Entei's roar is known throughout the Pokémon world as a sign of a new volcano erupting, and a new Entei being born. Entei may also have some inspiration from the Aterui, the chief of the Emishi, who was later labeled as a demon called 'Aka-gashira' (Red-Head). It also has the appearance of a volcano, its head is volcano-shaped and has a bright yellow eruption-flame on the top, and the red magma is seen on the side of its face, it has volcanic smoke leaving from the back and has two spiky mountains on the back too.

Name origin

Entei's Japanese name is likely a combination of 炎天 enten, blazing heat, or just 炎 en – an alternate reading of honō – flame, and 皇帝 kōtei, emperor. Its name can thus be written in kanji as 炎帝 (identical to the Chinese "Yándì"). It may also be derived from Entity, meaning "the fact of existence; being".
