Bulbalu is little more than a seed carried on the wind. Its cotton turns stark white if it doesn't get consistent sunlight -- usually indicating a Bulbalu that prefers to roost in the shade.

Bulbalu is little more than a seed carried on the wind. Its cotton turns a vivid green if it gets a lot of sunlight, which confident Bulbalu tend to do.

The amphibious Cateryu is quicker than it looks. It uses its eyes on each arm to pick a safe direction, then desperately scuttles away from predators.

Caternaut's three eyes sometimes wander in three different directions. Scientists say this is how Caternaut detects predators on land, in the sky, and in the shadows -- but trainers of Caternaut say it's just looking for entertainment.

Metanaut possesses infinite patience and rarely moves, or perhaps it's just that the lights are not all on upstairs. Sometimes it takes so long to eat its favorite sweet berries that they ferment in its mouth.

Metafeon's hardened leafy body is full of sweet sap. Knowing it smells irresistible to herbivores and insectivores alike, Metafeon is always alert, distrustful of its environment and ready to run.

Metafeon's hardened body contains more chlorophyll than hemolymph. It tanks attack and rarely moves, but don't mistake it for easy prey -- it leaves a sweet-smelling substance on attackers that attracts suffocating swarms of other Bug-types.

Opponents that think they're sneaking up on a Butterfree are often caught off guard when Butterby starts spewing yellow flames. These attacks are powered by magma-like hemolymph that never cools.

Few Pokémon are as peppy as the eco-terror, Butternaut. Its insatiable cravings for sweet fruit and honey are supported by dexterous graspers, agile flight, and its existing sugar high, allowing it to strip a forest of all its sugars in a single week.

Buttertomp's body is coated in a sticky and poisonous film supported by constantly bathing in wet mud. Unaware of its own texture and danger, it wonders why other Pokémon avoid its hugs.

Pink plumes from a Sunfing have a signature smell -- floral, earthy, and sickly sweet. Unfortunately for Sunfing, it's highly flammable and often faints from explosions of its own making.

Green plumes from a Sunfing smell like a novel, heady mix of garden greens and smog. Unfortunately for Sunfing, it's highly flammable and often faints from explosions of its own making.

Its horn and crests protect the sprout emerging from its head. When this carefully-tended sprout breaks off in battle, it loses all signs of intelligence and flies into a rage.

The seedling joey inside the pouch is tethered in place by roots and filaments. The last researcher who tried to separate it from the host Sunkhan disappeared somewhere without ever sharing the results.

For moves like Leech Seed, it spits seeds out of its tube-like mouth. If a trainer asks Sundra to use a Water-type move instead, Sundra will usually splash them with its fan-like fin leaves in protest.

Sunyu lays flat and pretends to photosynthesize. What looks like leaves are actually highly mobile arms that fold closed around anything that gets too close.

Sunmie can stand upright on any two of its brown limbs, sometimes making it appear upside-down or sideways. It prefers drifting over walking -- its leaves provide enough surface area that it can float peacefully on the surface.

Sunther's expression never changes, whether it's sunbathing, getting pranked, or slicing something to shreds with its scythes. Some fans find the reliability soothing, while others find Sunther to be an unsettling pest.

When Sunx sways, the sprouts around its skirt open and close their cotyledons. It can move each sprout independently with psychic power to make them wave hello or ensnare a foe. There are a lot more sprouts hidden in wait under the skirt.

Students who let Sunmar out of its Poké Ball in school get complaints from neighboring classrooms that it smells distractingly like popcorn. Sunmar keeps its shell crispy and tough by grooming itself with flame breath at a controlled temperature.

When Sununa falls from a tree, it always lands face-down. This is due to a unique density distribution, ensuring the sprout on its back ends up facing the sun.

It doesn't know it is big and poisonous. It fearfully thrashes its leaves about to scare off even small predators, which creates a haunting but iconic rattling sound.

Sunchu's connection to both solar power and atmospheric electricity don't serve it well. It will often fry its own leaves when emitting thunder, and it creates self-dampening interference when trying to photosynthesize.

Sunshrew's sweet and friendly disposition is wasted by its habit of burying itself motionless in sand all day, only leaving its head sprout above ground. On cold nights, Sunshrew surfaces to collect dew on its tough skin.

The surfaces of its eyes are always covered with a thin layer of freshwater tears, and it can cry on command to share this water with needy plants. It is covered in soft fur which is permanently marked by its dark tear trails.

Few things annoy a Sunplume more than being reminded it doesn't have hands. It learned to grasp with its leaves to compensate.

The seeds on its back have sunk their taproots deep into Sunras's main body. Attempts at removal found that each seed maintains its own separate role: the right seed is responsible for navigation, while the left is responsible for communication.

Restless Pokémon are naturally drawn to Sunselia, who happily accommodates them. A Pokémon who sleeps in the bed of grass on Sunselia's back will have wonderful dreams.

The bed of grass on Sunselia's back is surreally soft and cool. Sleep study trials suggested that succumbing to a snooze on Sunselia's back may be good for reducing inflammation and, by extension, increasing longevity.

Despite its feline appearance, its behavior is completely Sunkern-like. It likes to stand completely still to conserve energy, and it often goes hungry because it does not recognize anything other than dew as sustenance.

When it gets a headache, Sunduck goes outside and clears its head completely to feel better. You'll often see Sunduck standing around with a perfectly vacant stare.

Regardless of actual gender, two Sunduck facing each other will always assume the other Sunduck is male. Female Sunduck will try to cozy up to one another, while males will try to engage in swimming competitions.

Its flipper is a modified leaf. It's happiest when it can float with that leaf perpendicular to the sun.

Its limbs are loosely attached by twined stems. If it punches too hard and loses a limb, it will simply grow that limb back.

The swirls on its body direct the absorption of heat from sunlight. When this heat warms its muscles, Sunwrath starts eagerly dishing out punches with its seed-coat-protected fists.

Nothing pleases a Sunra more than an all-day nap in a sunny garden. The leading hypothesis for its home gardens' vitality is that a Sunra makes a psychic web connecting the plants, facilitating communication like a strange mycorrhizal network.

When Sunkazam sleeps, psychic energy manifests around it and displays the contents of its dreams. It usually dreams of the same thing it does all day -- creating gardens for younger Pokémon to enjoy.

It lives in the same region for years. In the first year, it starts a garden from seed, using its supercomputer brain to track the soil and the needs of every individual sprout 24 hours a day. Then it slowly teaches the garden to thrive on its own.

Because it is weak and afraid of fire, seeing the flame at the end of its own tail startles it. It puts on a brave face, though.

It uses its gaping mouth to trap bugs, which slowly dissolve into nutrients that keep its sprout happy and verdant. It thinks it's friends with the bugs, but if you asked the bugs, they probably wouldn't agree.

Its gaping mouth holds rainwater and occasionally an unfortunate bug that fell in. Brown-lipped Sunbell are found in shadier regions and have a more relaxed nature.

Its gaping mouth holds rainwater and occasionally an unfortunate bug that fell in. Red-lipped Sunbell tend to attract more prey to dissolve in their watery depths.

Suncool themselves aren't sure whether they'd prefer to sit in a flower box or drift like seaweed. If you peer closely through the dark sunlight absorbers on their heads, you might see they're hollow inside.

Suncruel can't use the CO2 in the water when it submerges, so it brings its own bubbles. When it breaches, it funnels surface air into its canister-like cranial terrariums while exhaling pure oxygen that can make other Pokémon dizzy.

Sunpoke is always happy because it never feels exhaustion due to never moving, and never feels suffering thanks to only having a tiny plant brain. It coos during the rain and loves living near rivers.

In order to take up more water, Sunbro transformed its tail into roots to reach deeper into the ground. If you need to move it, you can safely detach its tail; it can grow a new one. The detached tail may psychically mutate into its own plant.

Its three bodies are fuzzy on top, but as hard as seed coats otherwise. The iron-rich fuzz helps it hold a charge which it utilizes to dish out electric attacks.

The branch a Sunfetchd holds amplifies its power. It will try to peck anyone who wants to steal its branch, but its rounded bill doesn't hurt much worse than a rubber clog.

The branch a Sunfetchd holds amplifies its power. Its goofy grin is a good indicator of its peaceful mood, until you try to steal its favorite branch, in which case its frown is reportedly unsettling.

When one of Sunduo's heads starts does something stupid, the other will peck its leaves in gentle warning. Since Sunduo overall isn't very bright, this makes it seem like it's constantly preening.

One of the heads is always sleeping. It seems it doesn't get enough energy from photosynthesis to keep all three heads online at once. Its body could store lots of energy, but it uses that energy up for running as soon as it collects any.

It loves to melt holes in cement to reach the soil underneath. Its acids and enzymes seem to be specialized for this purpose, and they hardly work at all on organic material.

Sunter thinks it can become invisible, and often shakes its leaves to make rustling noises, pretending it's a poltergeist. Unfortunately, it's delusional -- its bright yellow coloration is always easy to see.

A sprinkle of Sunzee's spores can put you to sleep, but people who become dependent on this sleep aid may develop uncontrollable urges to bask in sunbeams, causing sunburns. Lobbyists want to make Sunzee spores a controlled substance.

When Sunzee isn't putting others to sleep, it's taking naps of its own. If Sunzee can't find a sunny spot, it uses its psychic powers to remove obstacles like clouds or roofs.

The stripes on Suno's body distract its opponents from noticing that they're being put into a trance. Entranced people and Pokémon are then gently directed to leave Suno alone.

The flower it swings like a pendulum twists too much to entrain the eye, but that's not how Suno hypnotizes you anyway. It's the spores you have to watch out for.

If you've never had Sunler meat, you may be surprised that it tastes more like a root vegetable than a crustacean. The claws grow back, but Sunler isn't docile during harvesting -- beware its bite force.

Ivylu flaps aggressively to get high in the sky, where it can better disperse its pollen and attract Bug-type friends. Its white cotton is evidence of its tidy crepuscular lifestyle.

Ivylu flaps aggressively to get high in the sky, where it can better disperse its pollen and attract Bug-type friends. Its green photosynthetic cotton is a sure sign it's getting lots of nutrition and sunlight.

The prideful heart of Prinplup was overfed by the power and control of Venusaur. Now Venuplup acts as a tyrant lording over the forest.

Venuxys is an alien that has integrated thoroughly with the local biosphere, and it puts everything it has into defending nearby flora and Pokémon. It doesn't seem fond of humans, though, preferring space between itself and its trainer.

The flowers in Venuria's plumage slow its flight, so it prefers to stroll. Herbivorous Pokémon often mistake it for shrubbery -- but if they try a bite, they'll be caught off guard by its cottony texture!

For such a high-temperature Pokémon, Charpix is hard to light a fire under; it likes to nap on grass beds with its furred tails curled around itself. When these beds are cooked to an uncomfortable crisp within the hour, it begrudgingly gets up.

Its heavy shell grounds its upper body in place. Then it mesmerizes opposing Pokémon by undulating its tail like a wave in a storm.

It takes a lot of power to fire Blasteon's cannons. In battle, Blasteon runs and swims at high speeds to generate enough static to launch an electrified deluge.

It takes a lot of energy to fire Blastfeon's waterspouts, but Blastfeon has trouble photosynthesizing due to its blue leaves. It hunkers into its heavy shell to buy time to charge up for a good blast.
