Bulbapod hide amongst tree branches that are growing new leaves, their colouration and bulb helping them blend in with the leaf buds. Their eyesight is poor and they sometimes cluster together on bare branches, believing themselves to be disguised.
Bulbafree feed on flowers and can be seen swarming from meadow to meadow in the spring. They use the bulb on their back alongside their patterned wings to mimic the flowers they land on, disguising their presence and helping to keep themselves safe.
Bulbahoot are very active at night, flying between tree tops in competition for the highest point in the canopy. During the day they cling tight to their perch and sun themselves, letting the warm daylight lull them to sleep.
The bulb on the heads of Bulbaowl produces a nectar that is highly prized by both people and Bug-Type Pokémon. The flavour of the nectar varies through the day and is sweetest in the middle of the night.
Bulbawoodo are a rare sight not due to their scarcity, but due to their skill at mimicking young saplings. They are adept at blending in with new growth trees, discernible only by their habit of waving their bulbs around even if there's no wind.
Bulbaraid swim in tropical waters and love to stay in the shallows, sunning the bulb on their back. Their bulb builds up and stores oxygen, which Bulbaraid can shoot out as a concentrated bubble stream.
The bulb on the tails of Bulbans has dry leaves and loose seeds, enabling it to make a rattling noise when they shake their tail. They use this as a warning and can fling the seeds at high velocity at their foes if threatened.
Bulbasly have a mineral rich body, dense with a crystal lattice predominantly formed of emeralds that give them their green hue. Their rock-hard bodies protect the delicate bulbs growing from their head.
The plant growing on the back of Bulbasaur is slow-growing, requiring a lot of sunlight and nutrients to blossom. They spend their days curled up in the sun warming the flower bulb, waiting for it to bloom.

The flower blooming on the back of Bulbasaur is immature and still fragile. They keep their leaves furled around the fragile petals, keeping the flower safe until it's fully ready to bloom.
The long fronds sprouting from the heads of Bulbaeanie contain large colonies of symbiotic algae, allowing them to subsist on photosynthetic energy. Their fronds are tipped with toxic spikes to ward off predators.
Bulbaeanie have long thorny leaves that sprout from their back, trailing behind them as they run around. The leaves are adapted to be able to retain moisture, keeping their bodies damp for days after leaving the water.
Caterpie have far more elaborate head crests than unfused Caterpie. Pokémon researchers have found these crests to be covered with acute sensory hairs that Caterpie use to detect the pheromones of other Caterpie.
Caterdle are a popular fusion for young trainers around Viridian Forest to use when they are just beginning their journey. Caterdle are easy to raise and has a relatively mild poison that makes them safe to handle whilst still being useful in battle.
Caterowl antennae are attuned to pick up pheromones that drift through the night air. They can navigate to one another through pitch darkness thanks to this sharp sense of smell.
Caternub live amongst the leaf litter in forests, rooting around under it for fallen fruits or fresh mushrooms. Their antennae are highly sensitive to the scent of decay and they gravitate toward fallen trees.
Catersly has a surprisingly thick exoskeleton for such a small Bug-type. Testing reveals that it incorporates hard silicates into its body from the rocks on which it feeds.
Caterdon have metallic crystals laced within their chitin, making them surprisingly tough for their diminutive size. They prefer to avoid conflict where they can, curling into a ball to protect their soft underbelly when threatened.
Caterwig have a beak edged with sharp chitin that allows them to bite through even the toughest of plant stems. They are a nuisance to gardening communities due to their habit of chewing through orderly gardens.
Voltown are found in the ruins of ancient civilisations, adorning the walls in corridors leading to treasure rooms. They are harmless if ignored, but will self-destruct when read aloud.
Voltown are found in the ruins of ancient civilisations, adorning the walls in corridors leading to treasure rooms. Some Voltown lie in wait alongside Unown with their eyes closed to fool the unwary, detonating when the reader gets too close.

Voltloom are very light on their feet, moving swiftly across battlegrounds and darting in and out of combat. Their claws carry an electrical charge that causes muscles to seize up, helping Voltloom stay ahead of its foes.
Voltish love to hide in tall grass, hunkering down and soaking in sunlight. Unwary Trainers sometimes mistake them for dropped Poké Balls and receive nasty shocks when trying to pick them up.
Electrduck are temperamental and chase both Pokémon and people away from their nests with loud yelps and frantic gestures. They are prone to exploding if they grow too agitated.

Cupod conceal themselves within the bones of long dead Pokémon to protect themselves while they wait to evolve. They have very limited movement whilst hiding, almost entirely reliant on choosing a sturdy bone cocoon to stay safe.
Cupod use thin silk threads to attach bones to their cocoon to reinforce their bodies, protecting themselves from physical harm. They have to be careful to avoid hiding in groups in case they attract scavengers looking for food.
Cuna use a sticky silk to attach bones to their bodies in an effort to protect themselves from danger. Some Cuna take the camouflage a step further, their cocoon taking on a bleached white hue.
An ancient Pokémon thought extinct for some time, Cuwig has been discovered living deep in deserts with few other Grass-types around. Cuwig has a hardy shell and skull to protect itself from the harsh weather of its environment.
Cupede are desert scavengers, living lonely existences in harsh environments. They gather the sun-bleached bones of long passed Pokémon to use as protective armour for themselves.
Cupede keep their tough outer exoskeleton turned outward to protect themselves from the harsh heat of their desert home. Bony spurs jut from their bodies to give them extra grip as they roll around.
Cumy have sticky liquid bodies that are vulnerable to harm from larger Pokémon. To protect themselves they gather up bones to stick to themselves as armour.
The shell of Maroterra is covered in a surprisingly fertile soil. Though rare, following desert rains its shell can bloom with short-lived plant life and desert flowers.
The shell of Maroterra is covered in a surprisingly fertile soil. Though rare, following desert rains its shell can bloom with short-lived plant life and desert flowers.
Maropede can travel long distances through the desert without needing to stop for water. Their tough hides slow water loss from their bodies. They are hardy Pokémon and can resist most dangers thanks to their bony plates.
Hitmonsaur are ornery Pokémon, prone to picking fights in an effort to prove their own strength. They launch themselves at other Pokémon using the dense flower on their back as though it were a fist.
Hitmonrogue are adept in most forms of martial arts, but specialise in boxing. Their punches leave something to be desired in terms of sheer strength, though their skills improve rapidly with practice.
Hitmonsaur are ornery Pokémon, prone to picking fights in an effort to prove their own strength. They wield multiple fist-like flowers at the end of flexible vines, using them to lash out at anyone getting too close.
Lickidle live inside tree bark, creating large hollows to hide in while they wait to evolve. They have very few natural defences, their fat pink bodies making them prime targets for predators.
The gasses within Koffing rupture through the vents that would harmlessly disperse them from an unfused Koffing. Trainers are advised to make use of gas masks when training with Koffing to protect themselves.
Kofftler are found in highly polluted areas, most often in areas with high levels of industrial waste runoff. Their bodies metabolise the toxins in their environment and expel them as foul gases.
Koffxio move together in small prides, working together to take on threats larger than themselves. They use the gases they produce to create cover for themselves, blinding other Pokémon as they surround them.
Metahorn have a tough outer armour that is several centimetres thick, letting them endure significant physical punishment. Their bodies are in a state of metamorphosis beneath their armour and they are very careful if they suffer major injury.
The wings of Metarow are encased in hard chitin, making it hard for them to fly. There are soft downy feathers hidden within the hard shell ready to emerge when they moult into adults.
Metarill have a thick chitinous club on their tail, but lack the strength to properly wield it as a weapon. Instead, they use it as a decoy for their body, luring predators to attack the club rather than themselves.
The gases contained within Weezing are made highly unstable through the fusion process. The combination of two Weezing results in a dangerous mixture, and they are prone to exploding at the slightest agitation.

Rhytata will sometimes be seized with manic energy, racing in a straight line as they feel compelled to outpace one another. The density of their bodies means they can crash straight through walls, making them challenging to keep indoors.
Chandeen perform elaborate dances and flourishes underwater to attract the attention of mates across the reefs they call their home. Other Pokémon have been observed enjoying the shows that Chandeen perform, leading to moments of peace on the reef.
A highly empathic Pokémon, Chanbra overflows with positive emotion and the desire to look after others. The sheer strength of this feeling manifests as immense psychic power, primarily used to defend others.
Chankazam possesses incredible intellect and empathic power; the bond it forms with its Trainer is one of intense loyalty. The energy expenditure of its psychic powers is huge; it fuels its powers with highly nutritious eggs.

Horsea fusions sometimes produce oddities such as duplicated heads and tails. Their twin tails give them greater grip strength on the kelp they make their home in, but their decision making suffers from having two distinct minds.
Horsea fusions develop wing-like fins that help them move more swiftly through the water. Their unusual appearance is theorised to be a result of their latent Dragon-Type potential being expressed early in their evolution line.
Hordle live in dense kelp forests, crawling through the vegetation both to hide within and as a feeding ground. They are slow swimmers, but using the fin on their back they perform elaborate mating dances with one another.
Hordum are capable of great bursts of speed through the ocean, but have very poor manoeuvrability. They typically move together in large schools for protection, jetting quickly away if they're threatened.
Hortang are common companions for divers, able to move underwater whilst pulling a large amount of weight. They are often vital for search and rescue missions around capsized ships.
A fusion of two Seadra produces Seadra, a Pokémon that swims at over 40 knots. They can shoot out a jet of water from their mouths that has enough force to cut through steel.
Golrantis sway in place within coral reefs, waving their patterned arms and fins to mimic the movements of small Water-type Pokémon. These movements lure would-be predators into striking range, providing Golrantis with plenty of food.
Searantis are prized for their luxurious, patterned fins. Their popularity makes them a common sight at exotic aquariums as they preen along the floor of the tanks.

Butterquil keep their body temperature higher than most Bug-Type Pokémon enabling them to survive in cold environments. Large populations are able to keep trees free of snow even in the depths of winter with their body heat.
Butterlava are hyperactive and will race around the forest floor chasing one another for hours. When they're excited, their backs erupt into flames in the shape of beautiful wings. They have been known to accidentally start fires in their enthusiasm.
Butterill have intricately patterned wings that they use to communicate with one another. Though large, their wings aren't strong enough to allow them to fly, and they instead amble peacefully across the forest floor.
Butterwoodo feeds on tree sap and tree bark, usually standing in place at the trunk of a tree for hours on end. The wings on their back mimic those of other Bug-type Pokémon, warding them away by making them think there's already a Bug-type on the tree.
Buttergeot have patterned wings that are covered in a coating of tiny, specialised feathers. These feathers easily come loose and can cause paralytic effects when ingested.
Buttericate have a fine coating of dust in their fur that causes deleterious effects on those who breathe it in. Though flightless, they flap their wings to shake the dust loose and blow it toward whoever they're fighting.
Butterow swarm together in their brief breeding seasons, forming great clouds over their forest homes. When disturbed by other Pokémon they will turn aggressive and use their wing scales to coat the interloper with toxins.
Butterow have powerful wings that allow them to stay airborne for days at a time. Their wing scales shed easily and can be hazardous if breathed in, causing all manner of ailments.
Buttergle have wing scales that reflect light in different ways depending on the angle they lie at, making for an iridescent effect. They mix these scales with a pigment produced by their tail to create unique shimmering paints.
Butterchum flutter their wings to summon cool breezes, using their psychic powers to lower air temperatures as they do. They are affectionate Pokémon, happy to help out during hot summers to keep their trainers cool.
Butterill feed on tree sap and can often be seen clinging onto the trunks of trees with their sharp teeth. They use their tails as a distraction, mimicking the movement of a Caterpie to keep attention away from their main body.
Buttersly roots through the undergrowth of forests in search of its food, using its large wings to blow away leaf litter and dirt. Its body is too heavy for it to be able to fly, but with some effort it can manage short hops.
Researchers are divided on if Butterinja are a failed shed of Buttercada into Butterjask, or if they are a Pokémon species in their own right. The leading theory is that their ability to fly without moving their wings means they are their own species.
Butterdon have crests formed of thick and durable chitin that are used to protect them during battles. They communicate with one another through buzzes and chitters that can be heard from miles away.

Butterjask are capable of flying at great speed thanks to their six wings. Their rapid movements create a cloud of wing scales that are shaken loose as they move, these scales get into the eyes and lungs, disrupting attempts to track them.
Buttercada use their twin proboscis to pierce into tree trunks and drink the sap within them. Large swarms can cover the trunk of a tree and cause problems for the health of the plant if left unchecked.
Often overlooked due to their shabby and tattered fins, Butterbas are typically one of the last Pokémon to be considered for aquarium displays. Despite this, they form a vital part of pond ecosystems, feeding on pond weed and keeping the water clean.
Butteruff flutter their wings happily when they're given attention by their trainer. They will try and settle into the laps of those they recognise in the hopes of getting hugs.
Butteroc hunt through forests in small swarms, communicating with one another through chittering howls. Though individually they are not the most powerful Pokémon, they are threatening when working together with others.
Butterdisc has large wing-like fins protruding from its back, which it uses to rapidly swim and glide short distances through the air. Its antennae help it sense danger and escape before being harmed.
Butterchop use their wings to gain a height advantage when doing battle with rival Pokémon. They swoop down to land hard tackles, trying to use momentum to improve the amount of damage their impact causes.
Butterchoke are able to rapidly build their muscle mass, even comparatively light exercise allowing them to bulk up quickly. Researchers theorise this ability is thanks to the rapid evolution cycle of Bug-Type Pokémon.
Starpede have bulky exoskeletons that leave them well-suited to life in coral reefs. Even if a piece breaks off, with enough time it will regenerate into a brand new Starpede.
Found within coral reefs, Starpede scuttle across the coral and hunt through the reef for prey. They use the many gems studded along their backs to absorb sunlight and release energy pulses to stun their prey.

Mr. pie create invisible walls using their feet. They can crawl up these invisible surfaces, creating the illusion that they are floating in midair.
Mr. rachi are able to use their psychic powers to travel the boundary between the waking and dreaming worlds. They watch their audience with the eye in their stomach, granting a single wish to anyone who realises where they're being watched from.
Mr. by construct invisible psychic barriers along the beach, scuttling sideways whilst constantly creating a longer and longer wall. Beachgoers are advised to remain aware of Mr. by populations as they can be a trip hazard.
Mr. ler are adept combatants, conjuring invisible barriers in front of themselves whilst scuttling around them to launch psychic blasts. They keep their distance whilst battling, their constitutions too frail to risk direct combat.

Champion-level wrestlers, Jynwrath are popular with black belts and martial artists both as sparring partners and as a first choice for Pokémon battles. Their low body temperatures help them stay physically active by rapidly dissipating muscle heat.
Jyntoise are popular with Beauties; their appearance is dazzling and something that their Trainers strive to emulate. They can create glittering displays with their elemental powers, ice crystals tracing through the air.
Electasaur are popular Pokémon amongst electrical engineers working around generators thanks to their innate ability to create electricity. The bulb on their back lights up as they create electricity and they are invaluable Pokémon for power plants.
Magsol is incredibly sensitive to the shifting of magma deep beneath the world's crust. They seek out locations where volcanic eruptions are likely to happen, earning them a reputation for imminent disaster.
Pinsaur feed on plant sap, using their viciously sharp teeth to bite through even the thickest wood to get to their food. They have powerful pincers on their back that they use to deter predators from attacking them whilst they're feeding.
Pinsaur feed on tree sap, using their viciously sharp teeth to pierce through even the thickest of tree bark to get to their food. They use the horns on their head to spar with one another, prying other Pinsaur off the best feeding spots.

Combative and stubborn, Taucross patrol their large territories to make sure no rivals are making their home nearby. When they do encounter a rival, they use their massive horn and powerful club-like fists to battle for the territory.
Magidle live on aquatic plants and spend their days underwater hiding amongst the plant fronds. They have poisonous barbs along their back to discourage predators.
Magigey flock together along the water's edge and will squabble with one another for the best drinking spots. They're fast but weak, their fights rarely causing any lasting damage despite how frenetic they can get.
Despite being physically frail, Magikey are remarkably aggressive and territorial. They will put on fierce displays, mock charging at Pokémon and Trainers alike to try and scare them off before a fight has a chance to happen.
Weebone have a habit of grabbing smaller Bug-Type Pokémon and wielding them as weapons. They are avoided by small Pokémon for fear of being the next one to be picked up.
Slow-moving and defended only by mildly toxic stingers, Weesea live in dense kelp growths. They rely heavily on their drab camouflage and lack of sudden movements to avoid drawing attention from predators.
The fusion process that produces Weedle creates genetic instabilities that cause them to become unusually long. They sometimes mistake their own tail segments as the heads of other Weedle and attack them.
Weebull are popular with many trainers thanks to their chubby, plush features. It is advisable to be careful when handling them as their stinger can cause nasty injuries if improperly touched.
Weebull aggressively posture before entering a battle, wielding their spines and stinger to try and intimidate their foe into backing down. They are not nearly as brave during battle, scared of taking hits.
Weedoof live high in the branches of tall trees to keep themselves safe from larger Pokémon. They feed on the softer bark of the high branches, gnawing out hollows that they can use for shelter when they start to evolve.
Weeinch has powerful jaws that it uses to trap prey that are careless enough to wander within striking range of its burrows. Trainers travelling through areas known to be home to Weeinch are advised to make liberal use of Repel.
Working together to form colonies in the forest, Weechop are highly social and co-operative. When threatened by flying Pokémon, most of the colony defends their home while a small group tries to draw the threat away.
Weefetchd march together in small flocks, hoisting sharpened sticks up with one wing. They jab at other Pokémon with these sticks to get what they want, working together to bully them away from food.
Weeduo strut through forest clearings in small flocks with their heads held high, acting confident to ward off predators. When disputes arise within the flock, the two competing Weeduo will square off and rear up as tall as possible.
Gyaraizard are dangerous apex predators that are equally comfortable in both the water and the air, moving at speed through both. Pokémon Rangers are often stationed near known Gyaraizard hunting grounds to protect people from them.
The vents covering Ditzing spout a mutagenic sludge that can destabilise and alter organic matter on a molecular level. Prolonged exposure can cause those who have made contact to begin transforming into whatever they see.
Ditursa take the shape of other young Pokémon as a defence, relying on the maternal instincts of their assumed family for protection. They enjoy having their mimicry observed and have a habit of trying to find people to show off their disguise to.

Ditans warn away other Pokémon by rapidly shaking the rattle on their tail. They are consummate mimics and, should their rattle fail, they will transform themselves into more threatening Pokémon to scare off aggressors.
Ditbok have a mostly fluid body, their coils melting into one another whenever they curl up. When threatened they flatten their body out, trying to appear bigger than they actually are to scare off attackers.
Ditmuku has innards that are highly malleable and can transform into any shape. It uses these both to defend and to disguise itself. When it rests at night, Ditmuku wraps itself in its own innards and uses Transform to look like a rock.
Ditsaur transform their bodies to mimic various jungle plants that they pass, down to the odour those plants produce. They do this to hunt food. Any Pokémon seeking to feed on them gets stuck to their gooey surface and gradually absorbed.

Pokémon historians theorise that Ditduck is responsible for the origin of legends surrounding the Kappa, the transformative properties of the Pokémon letting it appear monstrous at will. Despite their appearance, they are quite amiable.
Eeuna are coated in thick, plush fur that protects their bodies whilst they prepare to evolve. They congregate near areas full of elemental energy, using the ambient energy to help them evolve faster.
Eetu are able to glean glimpses of the future with their psychic powers. They spend hours trying to predict what is to come. Their own evolutionary potential frequently changes the visions they see.
Eeicate have luxuriously soft fur that makes them prized Pokémon within the fashion industry. Their fur has a sheen that changes colour when exposed to elemental stones, hinting at the unstable genetics of Eeicate and their evolutionary potential.
Eequaza are very rarely encountered by Trainers as they live in the stratosphere, winding through clouds far out of view of the ground. They have an unstable genetic makeup, their genetic structure heavily influenced by the weather.
Joltfeon loves to lounge outdoors, sleeping in the sunshine and photosynthesizing as they rest. They are popular in rural areas where, after a blackout, they can provide temporary power with their stored energy.

Omafetchd gather ancient shells to use as head armour to protect themselves, wielding fossil bones as weapons. Nobody has seen the true head of a Omafetchd and they will flee anybody that tries to look inside their shell.
Fossils of Omafarig are common in ocean strata, their skeletons mystifying paleontologists as it's unclear which side is the head. When revived, researchers were surprised to find both the head and tail hold brains.
Kaktret have stiff and waxy fur surrounding their bodies that helps protect them as they grow. This protective fur limits the range of movement Kaktret are capable of, so they try to stay hidden during the day.
Kakrow have chitin rich feathers that fold together to form a dense protective layer over their body. While this makes them clumsy in the air, it allows them to roost safe from predators whilst they gather the energy needed to evolve.
Kaknub have thick, matted hair that forms a dense coat around their bodies. They rely on this fur to protect them, remaining in one place for long stretches of time as they gather the energy to evolve.
Kakdoof are almost immobile and can only move a few centimetres a day by carefully shuffling. To stay safe while they wait to evolve they make small burrows in tree trunks, gnawing at the wood for sustenance.
Kakidos use their hardened chrysalises both to protect themselves and as weapons. The shells of their chrysalises are especially thick at the tops of their skulls, leading them to prefer ramming head-first as an attack.
Kakcada are barely able to move, using their large front claws to slowly drag themselves around. They bury themselves underground during daylight hours to hide from predators.

Snorbok are extremely lethargic and will spend months sleeping between meals. Their appetite is tremendous when they're hungry, gorging themselves for an entire day on anything that crosses their path.
Snortei spend upwards of twenty hours per day sleeping, lazing in mountain passes and valleys. They never sleep in the same place twice and will travel for miles during their few waking hours in search of a new resting place.
Flocks of Artigey travel together through harsh blizzards and sleet storms in search of high mountains to nest in. Meteorologists use the migration of Artigey as an indicator of incoming poor weather.
Artiotto nest high in the mountains within glaciers, their thick downy feathers insulating them against the cold. When flocks of Artiotto descend from the mountains, they bring sleet storms with them.
Artiler are found on the beaches of the Seafoam Islands, fluttering in short distances across the beachfronts at one another. Their body temperatures are abnormally low compared to most Pokémon, adapted to survive the cold weather.
Zapmence never touches the ground, living its entire life high in the sky. Thunderstorms form around them as they fly, and they weaponise the bolts of lightning by using them to strike at other Pokémon and aircraft flying across their path.

Trainers climbing Mt. Ember are warned to stay aware of colonies of Moldreigon. Moldreigon are temperamental and prone to aggression, commanding the magma within their volcano homes as a fiery weapon.
Drauna coat themselves with hardened skin and hide away in caves whilst they wait for their bodies to mature. If disturbed, they make a plaintive cry and call to their parents to defend them.
Dradrill form colonies high in the mountains, working together to protect themselves from larger Pokémon and any Trainers that happen to come close. They prefer to make shows of aggression rather than actually fighting.
With its long and narrow body, Dratata is well suited to hunting through the burrows of other Pokémon. It is popular with younger Trainers for its cute appearance and social nature.

A very agile and social Bug-type Pokémon, Beejask is a popular Pokémon amongst thieves. Its high speed and agility make it very capable of getting in and out of buildings, while its social nature makes it very easy to train.
After spending many months underground, adult Beecada emerge simultaneously in a swarm. These emergences occur regularly at specific times of year, requiring rural communities to prepare in advance.
Beeon feed on meadow flowers, living in colonies of around twenty individuals. They metabolise the nectar they feed on into honey, carrying the sticky liquid around in the hollows of their bodies.
Despite its wings, Beeinch is not a very mobile Pokémon. It creates traps to lure prey, secreting honey to draw other Pokémon before ambushing them with its powerful jaws and stingers.

Cyndafing feeds on the methane released from geothermal vents and can often be found clustered around newly-forming volcanoes. Their flames burn a bright blue, using the methane they consume as a means of propulsion.
Cyndaicate constantly sniff at the air to find food, their sense of smell being keen enough to find anything edible even if it's buried underground. They use their paws to dig toward their meals and their flames to cook it to perfection.
Quideen are popular aquarium Pokémon thanks to the beauty of the flames they produce. They need to be kept in specialised tanks, however, as very few other Water-Type Pokémon can tolerate the same tank as Quideen.
Typhking can be found in the waters around the Alolan islands, enjoying the heat of the volcanic islands. Large schools of Typhking can be dangerous to divers due to the heat they give off boiling the water around them.
Typhicate have fur that is coated with an oil that is highly flammable. Their fangs create sparks when struck together at a specific angle, allowing them to ignite themselves at a moment's notice to scare off aggressors.
Totowig lurk in murky water, preferring swamps and slow moving rivers. They carry symbiotic plants on their back to help disguise them in the mud, waiting patiently for their food to come to them.
Tototle lurk near the surface of the water, using the plant growths on their back to disguise themselves amongst the reeds. It is advised to assume that there is always a Tototle present, regardless of if you can see one.
Crocotle lurk out of sight in swampy water, blending into the native plant life thanks to their symbiotic growths. They have powerful jaws and it is near impossible to break free of them if they bite onto you.
Pidans have loose, dry feathers lining their tail and wings. When they feel threatened they shake them vigorously, creating a dry rattling sound to warn away danger.
Pidbok fluff their wings up to make themselves appear bigger than they actually are. They do this whenever they want to scare off another Pokémon, whether that's a rival or a predator.
Pidslash have stiffened feathers sprouting from its back. While difficult to use for flight, these feathers are strong defensive structures and function as protective spines.
Pidrade have plush and beautiful plumage that make them very popular with Pokémon Breeders. The feathers on their head are fast growing and well-suited to being styled in multiple different ways.

Pidlett nest on the ground, gathering up fallen twigs and mixing them with mud to form a protective ring around their young. Young Pidlett burrow down through the middle of their childhood nest as soon as they're old enough to move.
Sentret prop themselves up with their twin tails so that they can constantly stay on watch for their group without getting tired. They are anxious Pokémon and often believe themselves to be in danger.
Senret move in family groups of ten to twenty members, staying low to the ground to keep out of sight. Senret with the longest tails act as sentries for the group, towering up above the tall grass they live in to look out for danger.
Senret move in family groups of ten to twenty members, staying low to the ground to keep out of sight. Rarely, Senret will have short and stubby tails that make it difficult for them to keep watch, making them rely on their family to stay safe.
With their thick bushy tail, Senret make for luxurious Pokémon partners that are popular with Beauties. They love to drape themselves around the necks or over the shoulders of their Trainers.
Senco cluster on tree branches together in groups of six or seven individuals. Their tails are used as a means of communicating with one another, both through touch and as visual signals.
Senkip make their homes along riverbanks, hunting smaller fully aquatic Pokémon while avoiding the dangers of deeper water. Their burrows have multiple entrances, making it hard to determine where they've gone when they retreat.
Furtret stand high up on their tails, taking turns watching out for danger whilst their family feeds on fallen nuts and fruits. They make a high pitched chirping noise when they spot danger, and the noise can be heard from hundreds of meters away.
Furet have much coarser fur than unfused Furret, using the fur as a means to protect themselves from brambles and thorns in the forest. They are nimble Pokémon, able to disappear into bushes and warrens in an instant.
Furtress move around the forest completely without fear, confident in their tough outer shells to protect them from harm. Their confidence allows them to indulge in their natural curiosity, approaching dangerous situations without fear.
The fur of Furkip gradually loses its waterproof qualities as they age. While they still live in and hunt within river environments, their burrow systems tend to be built in more swampy areas.
It no longer contains the oils produced in earlier stages of their evolution that are needed to make it waterproof. Though they live in swampy environments, Furtomp prefer to make burrows among tree roots rather than along riverbanks.
Fursect has a symbiotic relationship with the fungus it carries upon its back. It provides the fungus with some of the food it gathers to keep it healthy, and the fungus provides camouflage on the forest floor in return.
Hootuna has a coat of sturdy feathers that protect its body as it develops into its adult form. It hides in trees during the day, only becoming active at night to help it avoid danger.

Ancient legends speak of Noctroc as bad omens, harbingers of misfortune and malice on moonlit nights. In truth, Noctroc have little interest in people and are often aloof and disinterested, even toward their Trainers.
Errors during the fusion process that produces Ledyba result in them having significantly more limbs than their unfused counterparts. They use these extra arms to scuttle quickly, but they struggle to properly control them for combat.
Ledytler can sometimes be seen on the outskirts of settlements, feeding in fields and farmland. It is skittish and prone to fleeing at the first sight of Trainers or hostile Pokémon.
Ledybok hunt through jungles for smaller Bug-Type Pokémon that they can swallow whole. When confronted with a threat that's larger than them, they flash the eyes on their hood and puff up to try and scare the danger away.
Ledytle feed on pond weed, using their shells to capture air so that they can breathe underwater. Their shells are patterned with black spots, the number and position of the spots enabling Pokémon researchers to identify where they're from.

Ariaotto are mostly active at night, crawling through tree branches and constructed webs. When they are dirty, they use their many legs to groom their wings, pulling out twigs, leaves, and parasites that get caught in their feathers.
Ariaicate colonies create a vast network of funnel webs deep within forests. The areas they call home are difficult for people to traverse and require specialist gear to avoid getting stuck in the undergrowth.
Ariarow weaves webs to span between outstretched limbs, weaving them into a tight and light enough structure that they can function as wings. It is clumsy in flight, but can travel long distances between forests.

Chintortle were popular Pokémon amongst artists prior to the advent of electrical lighting, the glow of their tails bright enough to illuminate an entire room at night. Some artists still take them as companions, using their smooth shells as a canvas.
Pidoof use small electric shocks to stimulate plant growth in their local environment, using the resulting shrubs as building material for dams. Where large populations are present the soil has a slight negative charge and can cause static shocks.
Clefkarp school together under the full moon and will jump out of the water to try and bathe themselves in moonlight. Why they do this is unclear, but legends say that if a Clefkarp can jump to the moon it will undergo an incredible transformation.

A playful burrowing Pokémon native to Pinkan Island, Igglyshrew digs shallow burrows and can be found chasing one another through the grass and along beaches. Its hide is surprisingly springy to the touch.
Igglypuff have a youthful innocence to their expression that keeps other Pokémon from wanting to attack them. They sing simple lullabies to one another to pass the night, filling the early evening air with their songs.
Igglymy have very pliable bodies, able to compress and stretch to an impressive degree. They are popular Pokémon for young children as they enjoy being held, making them popular to cuddle up with for bed.
Igglymeleon have an elastic body that absorbs impacts and turns them into kinetic energy, making them surprisingly durable. They convert the stored energy into heat, enabling them to breath and produce fire.
Swimming in large shoals, Igglydisc coordinate their shoals with chirps and songs. Divers have found that the songs each shoal makes are unique, allowing them to differentiate between their own shoal and those of other Igglydisc.
Igglykey lives high in the canopy of forests, swinging between branches with its elongated arms. If it does miss a branch, its soft and rubbery body prevents it from injuring itself.
This marine Pokémon is widely considered to be the modern descendant of an ancient fossil Pokémon. It retains many primordial traits, most notably it lacks a proper swim bladder which leaves it with a poor sense of balance in the water.

Togeraid use their wing-like fins to propel themselves rapidly through the water, darting about faster than the Pokémon that would try to catch it. Successfully catching one while fishing is said to be a true test of skill.
Togellery make collections of items on the sea floor, creating a small hoard of items that bring them joy. They give these items away to visitors if they bring a gift in turn, the value of the object mattering far less than the emotional significance.
Some Togellery have better developed wings and snouts than others of their species. They use the better mobility granted to them by these differences to cover great distances in search of objects to collect that bring them joy.

Haxgeot hack down trees using the sharp crests on either side of their face. They search the fallen trees for the most choice branches for their nests, leaving most of the plant in place.
Haxossom dances with swift twirls and rapid darting movements, moving with surprising speed for its size. The blades around its neck are used as a defence mechanism, cutting through almost anything they come into contact with.
In pre-industrial times, Vulsaur were a common companion thanks to the heat their bulb produces. They can control the temperature they output, from enough heat to warm a room to a fire that allows a person to cook a meal.

A belligerent Pokémon prone to picking fights, Pyukukey move too slowly to chase down opponents that disengage. When struck, they rebound blows with their surprisingly pliable bodies.
Mimifree hide their bodies inside discarded children's dolls, tearing through the backs of them and hollowing them out to make space. They spread out eerie wings to move themselves around, using the bright eye spots to see.
Jealous of the affection shown to Persians and other feline Pokémon, Mimisian has formed a disguise for itself to try and achieve that same love. The materials it chooses for its disguise tend to be flimsy, scaring people away when it breaks.
Deisaur rustle their leaves when they feel threatened, attempting to intimidate anything that gets close to them. If their warning fails they snap at the subject of their ire, darting forward to give a nasty bite.
The leaves of Deisaur are coated in an oil that causes an unpleasant contact rash and direct skin contact is inadvisable. They are aware of this property of their body and, when angry, will charge at people so that they can be left alone.
Even though they're blind, Deirunt are able to find their way around using their fantastic sense of smell. When they're close enough to something that smells like food they will start biting down with enough force to pierce steel.
Completely blind, Deibat relies upon echolocation to find its way around the world. Despite its lack of eyesight, Deibat is good at evading attacks from other Pokémon thanks to its sensitive hearing.
Lath spend most of their days lazing around in the sun, enjoying taking long naps in the warmth of the sunlight. They will sometimes become filled with a manic energy, racing around at speeds in excess of Mach 2.
Lasian are playful Pokémon that enjoy playing chase with people and other Pokémon. They are extraordinarily fast, capable of catching most of their play partners within seconds.
Laish roam great distances at night, travelling for many miles beneath the moon and stars. They will plant themselves near rural communities in the morning, their leaves picking up on the presence of people, helping them find well-tended gardens.
Laoom spend the daytime hunkered down in one place, staying hidden within flower patches and meadows. At nighttime they travel vast distances in search of more fertile grounds, using their empathic powers to seek out prolific gardeners.
Laplume bloom at night, releasing their pollen when they can sense other Laplume nearby with their empathic powers. They disperse at the first light of day, travelling many miles to find new meadows and new groves to make their home.
Ninemie are revered for their mystical powers, commanding both fire and minds with equal skill. It is said that the fires they produce burn without any heat and are used to lure the unwary toward them.
The energy writhing atop the backs of Ninesaur is mystical curse energy, said to bring misfortune to those who cross them. They use their tails to veil the energy when around people they enjoy the company of, not wishing to curse them.
Deolosion burn with an unearthly flame that can produce strange effects in Pokémon. They can replicate the effects of elemental stones and force evolution in some Pokémon, and serve as a replacement for DNA splicers in others, creating wild fusions.
Deoesect are artificial Pokémon created through a combination of biological and technological engineering. Release trial programs have determined that they are far too aggressive and dangerous to allow into the wild.
Jidactyl are ancient Pokémon that were thought to be extinct by palaeontologists, theorised to have been fierce predators. Once resurrected from fossils, they were discovered to be generous, doing their best to fulfil the desires of their friends.
Jior are found deep in the solar system, occasionally flying past the planet and leaving a trail in the night sky. Seeing one is said to bring great fortune to the observer, making their deepest desire come true.
Nindle use their stiff antennae to probe tree bark for weak points, biting through to feed on sap when they find a soft patch. They metabolise the toxins within the plants they feed on, using them to make themselves unpalatable to predators.
Ninwig siphon nutrients from the ground with their front claws, tiny roots extending from them once in the soil. They use the energy they gain to feed the symbiotic plant growing from their heads.
Ninbat have a sharp edge to their wings, using them as cutting tools rather than for flight. They swarm together while feeding, taking turns to eat plant sap whilst listening out for danger.
Binoir have various plants that grow upon their backs as adults, rooting themselves in the fertile soil matted into their fur. They groom one another constantly, gnawing at these plants and preventing them from growing fully.
Biwig work together in large families to create clearings in forests, chewing down trees and using the fallen branches to make shelters for themselves. They are friendly and willing to share their shelters with other Pokémon during poor weather.
Bibarel create vast inland lakes with their dams, insatiably gnawing through trees to build their homes. They build far more dams than they need, and the abandoned older dams form homes for other Pokémon.
Biras has a voracious appetite for wood, often resulting in large colonies creating clearings and glades in forests due to their diet. The hardy fungi on their back absorbs the lignin from the food Biras eats and uses it to grow.
Bisect is infested with a fungus that has completely overtaken its body, reforming it into a wood-like structure from which it can comfortably grow new fruiting bodies. This parasitism drives Bisect to feed on as much wood as it can.
Riouna are largely immobile and seclude themselves in high trees in order to keep themselves safe until they're ready to evolve. They spend their days observing other Pokémon fighting, memorising their moves in preparation to fight.
Riocario refine their aura sensing abilities by sparring with their eyes closed and ears flattened against their head, removing all other sensory input. This lets them gradually master the ability to sense and react to even trace amounts of aura.
Riolu contain unstable rogue mega energy, theorised to only be manageable thanks to being a fusion of two Riolu. They burn this energy off by constantly training and sparring with one another.

Vigopie are constantly awake and eating, chewing through tree trunks and branches at every hour of the day. They eat faster when other Vigopie are nearby, trying to gorge before their food gets eaten by others.
Waildon are typically found stalking along the flooded shoreline in the aftermath of tsunamis. Pokémon Researchers actively debate why they do this, the leading theory is that they are brought ashore by the powerful currents creating the tidal wave.
Despite the poor camouflage of Shipod, they are rarely attacked by larger Pokémon. When researching why this was, it was discovered that their chrysalis carries a static charge that causes painful shocks when touched.
Shifree have wing scales that each carry a slight electrical charge. When they feel threatened, Shifree can send an electrical pulse through their wings that causes them to abruptly light up, blinding their assailants.
Shiursa travel in groups of three to four for safety when moving about in the woods. If one of them becomes separated from the others at night, they light up with a flare of electricity to make themselves more visible and reunite with their friends.
Shisis are formed of a dense and sticky gel that carries a potent electrical charge. Trainers are advised to avoid handling them for too long as Shisis tend to release powerful shocks if they become too agitated.
Lufree emerge from their nests as thunderstorms approach, sparks dancing across their wings as electrical potential builds in the air. They are sometimes drawn to power plants, mistaking the generators for incoming thunder clouds.
Lusaur use solar energy collected by their leaves to create an electrical charge within their body. Their bulb carries the bulk of this charge, and touching the petals can deliver a painful shock to the unwary.
Lusis surround themselves in an electrically charged gel, protecting their small and vulnerable bodies. They defend themselves with their electrokinetic powers, enabling them to fight without physical altercation.
Hikers often run into Jigglytini during high-altitude expeditions, the snake-like Pokémon being highly curious and unafraid of humans. When hungry, Jigglytini will actively seek out people and sing them to sleep, stealing food from their backpacks.
Jigglynub can puff their bodies up to twice their size, sucking in air to scare off predators. When they exhale, they do so slowly, making surprisingly soothing songs that can carry across vast distances.
Jigglyshrew makes its burrows amongst tree roots, using the extra structure of the roots to reinforce its underground home. At night, they often come to the mouth of their burrows and sing out to one another to communicate.
Jigglylia have beautiful singing voices that capture the attention of everyone listening, putting them into a trance. They use their emotional sensitivity to tailor their songs for their audience, making every performance unique.

Colonies of Jigglyran communicate with others across their mountain homes by singing in harmony. Each colony has a unique chorus, and experienced hikers can use these songs to navigate when lost.
With a rubbery body and naturally playful attitude, Jigglyble often puts itself into dangerous situations trying to befriend much more powerful Pokémon. Even those it does get close to don't often stick around as it's prone to biting.
Jigglybite wards away rivals from its caves with loud songs that can be heard for several miles. Their songs are unpleasant and atonal, meaning many other Pokémon also keep away from them.
The harmonies produced when Jigglyrina sing have a mesmerizing quality. Unwary Trainers may find themselves waking up in the wilderness with their backpacks raided for berries.
Jigglykoth sing sorrowful songs in search of companionship from others of their species, crooning from high in the treetops. Unfortunately their songs send other Jigglykoth to sleep, lulling them into inactivity.
Jigglypuff love to perform and seek out large gatherings of other Pokémon to sing to. The effects of their voice are even more soporific than those of unfused Jigglypuff. Very few Pokémon have the willpower to stay awake through the whole performance.
Jigglymy can puff up to more than twice their starting body size thanks to having an extremely elastic skin. They use this stored air to sing to one another across vast distances, their yodels being audible from miles away.
Argey love to roost in high places, gathering together to find areas with views across large distances. They are heavy enough that a roosting flock poses a risk to more fragile structures; many powerlines have collapsed under their weight.
Arak are coated with a metallic exoskeleton that protects them from almost all danger. They consume any exposed metal they can find to fuel their growth, making them an unwanted pest at construction sites.
Ardos have metallic plating growing throughout their exoskeletons, providing vital protection against their predators. These metallic plates are segmented, allowing greater freedom of movement than more solid plating would provide.
Arkid are artificial Pokémon that are capable of self-replication. They assemble one another with great care, aware of the relative fragility of their bodies compared to larger Pokémon.
Arter are malevolent Pokémon that possess discarded scrap metal, animating and using these scraps to haunt the sites they form at. They love to pull apart vehicles and metal structures, incorporating the shreds into their own bodies.

Lairter cover themselves with discarded plates of sheet metal, protecting their otherwise gaseous and vulnerable bodies. The plates they use are manipulated using ferrokinetic powers, letting them curl into defensive balls if needed.
Fusions between Trapinch result in Trapinch, which are Pokémon that create gigantic sand traps in the desert. They have a bite that can penetrate break steel, making them a major hazard for desert travel.
Vibrava have wings that take on aspects of the dominant local geology. They have a beautiful crystal sheen. Pokémon Rangers have to remain vigilant to ensure their populations are not poached.
Feefree have very dull wing scales that flake off easily, leading many Trainers to simply dismiss them out of hand. Those Trainers who do care for them find that these Pokémon respond well to affection and are happiest when praised.
Feeicate have poor grooming habits, often allowing their fur to get matted and ugly when not taken care of by their trainer. This leads them to hide themselves away, preferring to not be seen lest they be judged.
Feekyu struggle to make disguises to hide in, finding only poor quality materials with a shabby appearance. They dislike their natural appearance and this is preferable, allowing them to search for higher quality materials without being observed.
Feeturne stand mournfully in the rain, lamenting that their presence drives away bird Pokémon. They long to be beautiful and try anything they can to stand out and draw attention to themselves.
Feedude lie amongst the pebbles and stones at the bottom of riverbeds, their drab stony hides helping them to blend in. Given the opportunity, they gather precious stones and jewels, covering their bodies with them to try and look pretty.

Babone scavenge around the graveyards of Dragon-type Pokémon, using the bones of long dead Pokémon to protect themselves and use as weapons. They are protective of their chosen weapons and armour, wearing them constantly.
Bawak scavenge through the remains of larger Pokémon that have died in the mountains for suitable bones to use as weapons. They prize the bones of Dragon-type Pokémon the most and can swing them with enough force to shatter boulders.
Bafree have hardened skulls that they use to spar with one another, butting heads to establish dominance. They will try and fly into other Pokémon head first to attack, but their top flight speed is too low to cause much harm.
Bagey swoop at one another headfirst, using their hardened skulls to bash into their rivals at high speed. The sound of the clash between them is loud enough to be heard from hundreds of meters away.
Bapede are slow, but have powerful hind legs that can allow them to leap great distances. They are hardy Pokémon and will ram into obstacles with enough strength to shatter boulders.
Batoise are slow moving Pokémon that lumber through mountain ravines in the certainty that very few things can truly threaten them. Their shells are nearly five inches thick, protecting them from most physical threats.
Shelpede has a heavily armoured back that protects it from larger Pokémon. When threatened, it curls into a ball to shield its softer underbelly from harm.
Sheltoise have never been observed outside of their shells, the true structure of their head remaining unknown to researchers. Their shells are several inches thick and are reinforced with crystalline growths, forming an incredibly tough defence.
Klisaur are Pokémon powered by clockwork, the speed at which their gears turn varying depending on how much sunlight they receive. Under the midday sun they are warm enough that their gears can run at peak efficiency, letting them move at speed.
Klile are mechanical, artificial Pokémon that are used to search hostile environments during search and rescue missions. Despite their small size, they are strong enough to carry travellers to safety from the depths of the desert.
Chargey have feathers that are constantly smouldering. They inadvertently start forest fires in the summer, so Pokémon Rangers pay close attention to where flocks roost to make sure they can warn residents if they need to evacuate.
Charsly are partially composed of coal and other organic rich rocks meaning that they are flammable. They can sustain this flame for extended periods of time without ill effect, but are hazardous to surrounding plants.
Charsly are partially composed of coal and other organic rich rocks meaning that they are flammable. Charsly that burn too hot will sometimes abruptly collapse due to heat stroke after using all their fuel, necessitating a trip to a Pokémon Centre.
Pokémon researchers have observed Charunt moving across their glacial homes in huddled groups of four or more. The current theory is that they do so to protect their flames from abrupt gusts of wind or blizzards, letting them stay warm as a group.
Wigglygma bubble and puff up when they get too hot, as their internal anatomy constantly produces superhot gas. They can be trained to release this hot air slowly and are popular companions in colder regions.
Wigglyking spend their days lazing around and casually eating fruit from bushes and trees. When roused to fight they are terrifyingly strong, inflating their chest and bellowing loud enough to be heard from miles away.
Wigglyqueen typically dwell high in the mountains, maintaining large territories across the peaks of their homes. They signal to Wigglyking and rival Wigglyqueen with loud, echoing songs.
Wigglymy have very elastic bodies and enjoy puffing up and bouncing off of one another. They are an unlikely companion for some Hikers, as their ability to rapidly inflate can be a lifesaver if a Hiker slips and falls down a mountainside.
Pokémon researchers initially believed Busaur to be a regional variant of Ivysaur native to Sinnoh. A detailed analysis of their pollen and the enzymes in their flower's nectar revealed them to be their own distinct species.
Budew grow and develop far faster than unfused Budew, a quirk of the fusion process causing them to grow extra flower buds as they age. They have an earthy scent to them from all the nutrients they absorb from the soil.
