Entei <sup>(JPJapanese: エンテイ

Romaji: Entei)</sup> is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Fire legendary Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver. Entei is one of the Legendary beasts of Johto.

It appears to be distantly related to the Paradox Pokémon Gouging Fire.

Physiology and Behaviour

Appearances

Main Pokémon games

After discovering it and the other legendary beasts, it roams Johto. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Entei got a ancient Paradox Pokémon counterpart in the form of Gouging Fire.

Other Pokémon games

Super Smash Bros. series

Entei appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It shoots a pillar of fire upwards. It is sent out by throwing a Poké Ball, and one of the Pokémon that can come out is Entei, although its appearance is rare.

Trophy descriptions

Brawl

A Volcano Pokémon. When Entei barks, a volcano erupts, and it's said that a new Entei is born every time a volcano appears. A proverb claims that the warmth of summer is created by Entei racing through the clouds. Entei uses Fire Spin, a flaming vortex that traps and damages foes for multiple turns.

3DS/Wii U

One of the three Legendary Pokémon that rose from the ashes of the Burned Tower. It has a distinct white mane running down its back. When brought into battle, it unleashes a powerful Fire Spin attack that pulls in enemies, damages them, and then launches them as the fires peter out. Ouch!

In the anime

Entei starred in Pokémon 3: The Movie: Spell of the Unown: Entei and also appeared in Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions (as a Shiny Pokémon).
