Koffeary's body is like a thin, filmy balloon filled with a mixture of poisonous gases. By forcing this gas into its rolled-up ears, it can strike with tremendous pneumatic force.
The red core on Starchu's face acts as both a sensory organ and a biological battery where it stores generated electricity. When it's built up to a full charge, the core glows a brilliant red.
Hootgon-Z tilts its head back and forth in a fixed rhythm along with its highly accurate internal clock. However, due to errors in its programming, it stops counting the seconds while distracted, causing it to drift from the correct time.
Skipzone magnetically levitates above the treeline, spinning the flower atop its head as a gyroscopic stabilizer. Only when it is far away from any risk of collision does Skipzone unfold its delicate solar panels to photosynthesize.
Spearskit regularly preens its soft feathers, coating them with a special oil secreted from glands between its toes. This oily coating allows it to glide over the surface of ponds, hunting for aquatic Bug Pokémon.
Small herds of Heratias gather around the secluded canopies of the tallest trees, feeding on the sweet sap. If any member of the herd detects danger with its sensitive antennae, it psychically notifies the herd to scatter.
Ursarupt slams its heavy body against the trunks of trees to knock loose its favourite foods: fruits, nuts, and Beedrill hives. It catches the falling food inside the volcanoes protruding from its back, where they stew into a fruity honey mash.
Corlord hosts a vibrant ecosystem within the coral reef growing from its back. Many varieties of aquatic Pokémon call this roving reef home, sometimes following it far outside their native habitats.
In the space between Staneal's stubby antlers, a strange zone of space distorts airflow to keep a small ball suspended, even as it rolls and swims. If this ball is somehow removed, Staneal becomes despondent.
It catches fish Pokémon by stunning them with the weak electric current flowing between its horns. Despite its body being poorly shaped for swimming, Eleal is nonetheless an effective hunter.
When it senses danger, Arleo puffs out its chest and flares its brightly-coloured whiskers as an intimidating display. If foes do not heed this warning, Arleo will strike, constricting and pinning them beneath its heavy body.
Milnx constantly moves as if it is dancing, swaying from side to side in a rhythm that changes with its mood. This nonstop dance is infectious, often gathering entire herds of Miltank to follow it and sway in unison.
While the sun is out, Milsir is incredibly efficient at grazing, mulching, and gobbling acres of long grass with its many sharp teeth. At night it burrows into the ground for warmth and lies nearly motionless as it digests the previous day's feast.
A study into the formation of Milnyte's shell has revealed that it is constructed from a type of hard cheese. Complex internal membranes are dedicated to curdling, filtering, and layering new sheets to build up this lightweight yet durable shell.
Miluff has specialized udders and pressurized glands allowing it to form puffs of light and airy whipped cream. It exerts deft control over these puffs in order to drift along air currents and travel great distances.
Milswine are extremely hardy, able to not only thrive in freezing temperatures, but also to support other Pokémon less adapted to these harsh conditions by sharing their warm, nutritious milk.
Milniclus is enveloped by a translucent, milky gel, which forms a protective barrier against harsh conditions. Chemical analysis has shown the gel is very nutrient-dense, though it's toxic to anyone other than the Milniclus who produced it.
Milniclus is enveloped by a translucent, milky gel, which forms a protective barrier against harsh conditions. When Milniclus exercises its psychic power, small blobs of this gel detach and begin to orbit its body.

Glands atop Milbre's head continuously excrete droplets of milk, rich in probiotic compounds. The milk thickens and curdles into a wheel of natural cheese, which, although fragrant, has a horribly slimy rind and tastes largely of river mud.
Mile produces milk that is high in vitamins and electrolytes, which it gladly shares with its friends. Pokémon who drink a bottle of this milk often exhibit improved muscle recovery after battles.
Milun is happy to provide the nutritious milk it produces to its partners. It does not produce much milk, however, so Milun stocks up on bottles in anticipation of battles to ensure it has enough milk to share.
Despite its body being over 95% water by volume, its habitat is not restricted to aquatic environments. Ambicool can sometimes be found dangling by its hand-tails from tree branches, grabbing unwary passersby from above.
Kirink balances a polished sphere of sapphire between the horns on its head, through which it channels psychokinetic power. While sharing joyous moments with its Trainer, it is said that the gem is rendered more pure through psychic energy.
Shielrith's heavily-armoured carapace is extremely durable, making it a common fossil in ocean trenches along the coasts of Sinnoh. These fossils are often displayed in museums as evidence of fusion in the wild from nearly 1000 years ago.
Duscash inhabits deep, murky waters and is rarely seen by humans. Only on the night before an earthquake happens do Duscash show themselves, eerily rising from the depths until the tremors have passed.
Using its sharp fangs, it gnaws small holes through walls in search of food. An infestation of dozens of Dusctata is easily missed, as their hollow, bandage-wrapped bodies can pack densely into cramped spaces.
It is believed that Duscloon's buoyancy comes from a spectral flame burning inside its hollow, balloon-like body, although this flame has never been directly observed. It is most active on cool, humid nights.
With the antenna atop its head, Duskgross follows faint radio waves of unknown origin, retransmitting them at a higher power. Scientists have yet to decipher any of its broadcasts, as it encrypts the messages with its four supercomputer-like brains.
Grochoke's heroic and chiselled appearance, as well as its kind and selfless nature, has led its image to be used in popular advertising campaigns to represent a commitment to ecological stewardship.
Litdon's entire body is made up of a hard, waxy substance. When the flame atop its head is lit, this softens the wax, allowing Litdon to polish and reshape any deformations by rubbing its face against tree trunks.
A study has revealed that the vitreous sphere making up Chandelsteel's body is composed of a strange material stronger than any known metal. The pale flames that flicker within appear to burn indefinitely, with no apparent fuel source.
Lairtine's sleek metal body provides little friction, allowing it to glide smoothly across the water's surface and even take flight with enough speed. They prefer freshwater rivers for runways, as the ocean's salinity irritates their steel skin.
Despite Feegela's ugly and ragged appearance, it is actually perfectly healthy living in polluted waters. Although its tangled vines actually filter floating trash from the water, political campaigns have used it to represent unhealthy wetlands.

Feekarp is capable of eating almost anything and is almost exclusively found in heavily polluted, stagnant ponds. Its swimming muscles are terribly weak, and its appearance is so hopelessly ugly that it is very rarely kept for any reason.
Klapede curiously bears a strong resemblance to a popular model of compact car and uses this as camouflage to hide in crowded parking lots. If it feels threatened, it will suddenly shift into gear and drive away at dangerous speeds.
As Zucargo crawls over cave walls, it polishes them smooth with the heat of its molten body. The smooth rock surfaces allow it to more precisely locate foreign objects in its territory through echolocation.
Zuboach spend most of their lives in subterranean aquifers, navigating in complete darkness by echolocation. They emit ultrasonic waves through the murky water to spot even the smallest crevices to slip through.
While calm, Whirliperl putter slowly along the sandy seafloor with their four wheels. In battle, however, they close their sturdy shell and drive recklessly towards their enemy, sometimes reaching speeds of up to 80km/h before impact.
Snoboach thrive in freezing arctic rivers, where floating ice is plentiful. Their entire bodies are coated in a film of insulating slime, allowing Snoboach to maintain a comfortable internal temperature even while eating nothing but ice and snow.
Snobell partially buries itself in snow to hide, appearing to be nothing more than a lost hat and mittens. It sprays a strong acid at any unwary creature who attempts to take its garments.
On nights when the moon is shining, Oddbone can be found digging through gardens in search of large root vegetables. If they find a tuber they prefer, they will swap it out, replanting their existing club in the soil.
Trubgon-Z is primarily employed to wipe information from recycled electronics, as it feeds on digital files. Due to an oversight in its programming, however, Trubgon-Z often executes unintended data as code, leading to unstable behaviours.
Trubfetchd is always seen brandishing a plastic bag brimming with garbage. It spends its days gathering food scraps to add bulk to its weapon, though would-be predators are deterred by the stench alone.
Garbrith has the ability to thrive in water with very high salinity, as well as contamination from industrial pollutants. In these conditions, it faces little competition for food, as it consumes algae and mold, as well as larger pieces of trash.
Swirpip's incredibly light body is mostly made up of fluffy spun sugar fibres, which allow it to drift effortlessly atop the lightest breeze.
Hunters of exotic truffles will often keep Digdour by their side, as they are highly proficient at both sniffing out and digging up the delicacy. However, improperly trained Digdour will often gobble up the truffles themselves.
Luvchoke's toned, muscular legs never seem to get tired, no matter how far it swims. Using its powerful flutter kick, it makes laps around the perimeter of coral reefs to protect weaker Luvdisc from both predators and fishing boats.
Surcool's body is almost entirely composed of water and coated in an oily film, allowing it to float on the ocean's surface with very little friction. It constantly secretes a sweet-smelling, poisonous fluid from glassy yellow glands on its head.
Gulpink's entire body is one large stomach, with very little space for other organs. Although it can digest virtually anything, its preferred food is Pokémon Eggs, which it will attempt to steal from unguarded nests whenever the opportunity arises.
Spofing bounces constantly on its springlike tail, compressing its body. Specialized internal chambers pump poisonous gases through this bouncing motion, keeping its thin, filmy body pressurized.
Solpede normally sits completely motionless, gathering and storing solar energy for evolution. However, if disturbed, it sets off rolling at speeds of up to 80 km/h, glowing brightly as it approaches its top speed.
Barsaur can most often be found resting in shallow water, soaking up sunlight to help the plant bulb on their backs grow. However, if a predator attempts to grab a group of basking Barsaur, their slimy skin allows them to easily slip free.
Barbat emits ultrasonic waves as it flies through dark caverns, using its sensitive whiskers to detect reflected waves and avoid collisions. It sleeps buried in mud, with only its whiskers and wings exposed, ready to take flight if disturbed.
Whiskhan is deeply protective of its young, carrying them over land in its pouch between various bodies of water. However, it has poor eyesight and often scoops up and relocates unrelated Barboach alongside its own offspring.

Whistank are rarely used as an amphibious source of dairy in flood-prone areas. However, Whistank's varied, undiscerning diet causes its milk to have wildly inconsistent flavours and nutritional value, which prevents widespread sale of the product.
Whischu makes its nest in the thick mud at the edge of swampy, mineral-rich ponds. It dips its whiskers into the pond's edge to hunt for prey, electrifying the water to stun and eat anything that moves.

Goltler is a remarkably fast swimmer, able to glide across deep rivers and lakes with uncanny ease. While it swims, the red gems on its antlers glow with a strange energy, indicating Goltler's use of telekinetic powers to reduce drag in the water.
At night when the tide is lowest, herds of Spheyu float up to the ocean's surface to revel in the starlight. If the stars are bright, they all clap their pointed appendages together in delight.
Sphemie rotates its flat, star-shaped body at impressive speeds to propel itself through the water, and even to roll sideways across dry land. At night, one can even see a faint light pulsing from beneath the skin on its blubbery core as it spins.
Often mistaken for the more dangerous Gyarados, Sphedos is relatively docile in comparison. Although capable of causing great destruction, it chooses to spend its days snoozing on ice floes instead.
When groups of Sphemur eat, they all cry out with glee, creating a cacophony that can exceed 100 decibels in volume. Because of this, their mealtimes can cause permanent hearing loss.
Spheape is covered in a thick layer of fluffy fur that resists even the harshest arctic winds. When it spots its prey, it enters into a state of fury and will not calm or give up the chase until the hunt is complete.
Bellrill's bulbous tail is filled with a clear oil that is lighter than water, allowing it to float on the surface of ponds. When Bellrill finds a comfortable spot, it will extend its root feet to anchor in the mud below the water.
Slowtung fishes for food by unfurling its sticky tongue in a river and waiting for prey to swim into it. It uses the Shellder latched onto its tail as an anchor, so it doesn't drift away with the current.
Magnekern is very weak, subsisting entirely on waste power radiated from electrical infrastructure. It moves very little, conserving what energy it can until it evolves.
Dewlax spends most of its life asleep atop polar ice sheets. It sleeps incredibly soundly due to its thick layer of blubber insulating it from freezing winds, snowfall, and even predation.
Dewziken loves to laze around on frozen, rocky beaches during the day. The colder the ambient temperature drops, the higher its body heat rises to compensate, and the more active it becomes.
Drowgong is most active during the daytime, subsisting on a diet of dreams eaten from herds of Seel sleeping atop the arctic ice. At night, it rests on those same ice sheets while the Seel are out hunting.
Krabcruel lives hidden away on rocky beaches, extending its brittle, spindly limbs to clamp prey that get too close. In ideal conditions, it can grow up to 80 of these pincers, though they tend to break off in the wild before reaching this number.
Kingpert uses its powerful, oversized claw to tirelessly build seawalls on the secluded beaches it calls home. Only once it has stacked enough boulders to form a brackish tide pool does Kingpert finally relax.
