A Bicycle is an item introduced in Generation I.
Effect[]
A Bicycle is a Key Item and a method of transportation allowing the player to move around faster than even the Running Shoes.
In the Generation IV games and the remakes Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl, the Bicycle has two gears of different speed, normal and fast, which the player can switch between by pressing the B button. The bicycle can ride on wooden planks as well as scale muddy walls at fast speed.
Description[]
In the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version, the Bicycle is normally at a very expensive price of 
1,000,000, hence why it requires the Bike Voucher to obtain.
The standard Bicycle does not appear in Pokémon Ruby Version and Pokémon Sapphire Version and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, which has two different types of Bicycles instead, the Mach Bike and Acro Bike. The standard Bicycle exists as an unused item in Pokémon Emerald Version.
In Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, there is a certain type of Bicycle, the Rotom Bike, which can be upgraded to also ride on water.
