Mr. cargo controls the secretion of a slick, transparent slime from its shell. At Pokémon gathering places, it selectively leaves trails of slime, causing others to slip and fall. Mr. cargo appears to do this solely for amusement.
Electacargo eats electricity and stores excess energy in its shell, becoming a living battery. Areas prone to blackouts host Electacargo as a portable power station.
As Lancargo treads the sea floor, the bulb on its back stimulates the growth of algae, constantly replenishing its food supply. It illuminates its surroundings for miles, blinding potential predators.
Igglyras uses its springy body to bounce into the treetops and eat fresh twigs. Because it cannot defend itself with its soft pincers, it also bounces away from predators.
The twin mushrooms on its back spin like drills, though Dunras cannot use them to dig. Instead, it burrows among tree roots with its claws. Its wings are not strong enough for flight.
Qwilgon-Z can disrupt the sonar systems used by fishing boats. Anglers seeking to catch Qwilgon-Z must avoid advanced technology and use simple rods and nets.
Magmime can deftly manipulate the lava composing their hands. By hardening the lava into complex shapes, Magmime perform intricate shadow puppetry, using their bright bodies as a backlight.
Magbat roost in caves near active volcanoes, where they can easily feed on magma. They fly almost silently, the sizzle of their blazing wings serving as the only warning of their approach.
To avoid predators, Magllery lives in undersea volcanoes, storing magma in its shell. By expelling the magma from its siphon, it can subdue prey and escape foes.
Because their rocky bodies weigh them down, Magtine fly low over the ocean, barely skimming the surface. Drops of lava that fall from their wings into water become flawless black glass.
Magpiny carries an egg-shaped rock in its belly pouch, warming the stone with its high body heat. Place a Magpiny stone into a pool to create an instant restorative hot spring.
Due to its high body heat, Maglax's metabolism runs extremely fast. It must eat constantly, even waking during the night, to ensure that it consumes enough calories to grow.
The twin swords of Magblade coordinate their combat telepathically. When defending, they harden their rocky outer shells, but when attacking, they shed the shells to slash and burn foes with blades of lava.
The ring around its shell constantly rotates, providing a renewable source of accessible energy. A single Magklang stores enough energy to heat and power large foundries.
Their fluid legs make locomotion awkward. To travel long distances, Magthorn use their feet to weld themselves to passing vehicles. They will also attach themselves to Steel-type and Rock-type Pokémon.
Sustained by its own body heat, Magkoth can go weeks at a time without moving at all. It never uses its limbs to travel, preferring to slide across the ground like a lava flow.
Magink can spin the magma stored in its shell like a turbine, which creates electricity that it uses to float above the ground. When the magma cools, Magink must crawl on the ground until it can consume more.
If Magang cannot escape a threat by floating away, it will eject balls of lava at its pursuer as a last resort. Losing too much of the lava reserves in its shell will bring it crashing to the ground.
What looks like magma on Magonee's top is actually bright orange cotton, prized not only for its quality but also for its warmth. Clothing made from Magonee cotton remains warm in even the coldest temperatures.
Magseed's body glows brightly but gives off little heat. Because Magseed can cling to stone walls with their rocky spines, miners use them as lanterns when navigating caves.
When Magish bury themselves in the dirt at sundown, their ashen leaves drop off and regrow overnight. Gardeners collect fallen Magish leaves for use as fertilizer.
Maglucha intentionally weakens its shell and cools its body heat to eliminate its combat advantages, preferring to rely on skill alone. Pro wrestlers adorn their masks with Maglucha's fiery feathers for good luck.
As Maglett tunnels underground, it leaves behind a trail of lava, scorching the plant roots above it. Maglett can be tracked by following the paths of burnt grass.
Magtrio bore up to 60 miles deep into the planet to bathe in fresh magma. It was once thought that Magtrio could create new volcanoes, but the tunnels they dig are too narrow for magma to reach the surface.
Because their tongue burns much hotter than the rest of their body, Magder will always leave it sticking out. Since Magder bury themselves in sand to sleep, divers will see groups of orange tongues sticking out of the seabed.
The fractures in Magster's shell expose its soft core and weaken its defenses. It compensates by increasing its temperature to unbearable levels and firing sharp spikes at foes.
Because it lacks pincers for catching prey or tearing up plant matter, Ekras is an ambush predator. The mushrooms on its back serve as bait for its victims.
Because its long neck makes movement through tall grass awkward, Ekras is an ambush predator. The mushrooms on its back serve as the bait for its victims.
What appears to be a rattle on Ekras's tail is actually a third mushroom, which tastes different from the other two. Ekras sheds and regrows the tail mushroom every few months.
It climbs vertical surfaces to make its soft shell more accessible for milking. Milcargo can be trained to give hot milk as a sleep aid for young children.
It seeks out gatherings of people to show off its mimicry skills, but it moves so slowly that an event often ends before Mimecargo arrives. In front of an audience, it may become nervous and hide in its shell.
Mimegon-Z prefers to imitate researchers more than any other group. It sneaks into laboratories to observe researchers at work and mimics their actions using improvised props.
If Happiras bonds with its Trainer, it will offer them one of its puffy white mushrooms, which rapidly regrow after being harvested. The mushrooms often taste like the Trainer's favorite food.
Magmorcargo can fire a stream of white-hot lava from the cannonlike extension on its shell. When traveling between volcanoes, it uses this ability to form land bridges for crossing bodies of water.
As its Trainer's happiness grows, the horns on Kirgron's head grow as well, increasing its psychokinetic power. A well-loved Kirgron can have horns in excess of 30 centimeters long.
Kiron is closely attuned to its Trainer's feelings. If it senses happiness, it will playfully headbutt its Trainer; if it senses sadness, it will sing to cheer them up.
When Kiron's Trainer is happy, it skips joyously in circles around them. However, Kiron must be taught to mind its step, as it tends to trample anything in its path.
Once it claims territory, Agglia camouflages the area by creating mirages to disorient intruders. If this diversion fails, Agglia will rapidly strike its opponent with its sharp steel horns.
The waxy substance collected from the shells of Litcargo burns with a purple flame. Their slow pace has earned them the nickname "creeping candles."
It chooses steel to consume by using its horns to sense the steel's quality. When Arlia evolves, it sheds its armored skin, which is collected and melted down to make durable alloys.
The hardy mushrooms on its back are rich with minerals absorbed from its rocky diet. Aras mushrooms can be ground and sold as vitamin supplements.

Fiercely territorial, Lairlia duel for territory by throwing each other about with their psychokinetic powers. Their ability to see the future helps them predict their opponent's moves.
Glaras freezes its food before consumption, digesting it slowly to extract nutrients efficiently. The crystalline formations on its back are a specialized fungus that can withstand subzero temperatures.
Digras feeds on grasses at dawn and dusk to grow the small mushrooms that cover its back. It travels by digging underground, fertilizing the soil above with the spores on its back.
Lunacargo's shell glows iridescent under moonlight, making it desirable as a gemstone. To defend itself, its single red eye has a hypnotic effect that immobilizes attackers with fear.
Magnecargo metabolism requires electricity. If it grows sluggish, its shell uncoils into a long wire, which it can extend towards power lines or use as a lightning rod during storms.
Magneras uses the magnets on its back to orient itself and navigate complex cave systems. Three small mushrooms surround its lone eye, often interfering with its vision.
Griras feeds on poisonous flora and fungi; the more potent the poison, the larger the mushrooms on its back grow. The trail of sludge Griras leaves as it travels promotes fungal growth.
Gasras is entirely nocturnal and very sensitive to light, sleeping underground during the day. If exposed to sunlight, it will shroud itself with spores to remain in darkness.
Its ethereal mushrooms phase through cave walls, leaving a trail of spores. Pokémon that encounter Haunras spores become paralyzed with fear, making them easy prey.
It flattens the soft shell on its back to squeeze through open windows and feed on dreams. If Drowcargo finds your dreams particularly delicious, it will try to live under your bed.
If it senses danger, it rocks from side to side, rhythmically waving its claws. Its mushrooms then release spores that hypnotize its foe into sleep while Hypras escapes.
