Electrtwo can conjure a psychic manifestation that looks much like Electrode and use it to use an Explosion attack at a distance. This takes so much energy, however, that it will faint after doing so anyway.
Electrtwo's attacks are rarely as straightforward as those of its component parts. It's said that after one strike it charges its foe with enough electrical or psychic energy to later kill it at will.
Exeggulous devours both plants and other Pokémon ravenously, since it's always hungry. However, this isn't helpful for Exeggulous; it's only actually nourished by sunlight.
Though Exeggudreigon is incredibly vicious, its egg-like heads are very fragile and aren't used to bite things. All of its sustenance comes from the sun and rain.
Metastar's shell is less hard than one might expect. Before evolving, it typically goes deep underwater or hides under a rock lest it be found and broken open by a predator.
The entities that surround Tanpass are extensions of its nervous system. Each one has a small independent brain that helps it maintain its complicated layered magnetic fields.
Rumor has it that this fusion is far more powerful than an ordinary Magikarp. However, it's still so weak that it's hard to tell the difference.
With two heads, this Pokémon possesses double the ego and double the rage of a regular Gyarados. When nothing else is around, each head violently battles the other.
Ditpuff's ability to copy other Pokémon's powers is said by some to be even better than a pure Ditto's. On the other hand, its singing is much worse than Jigglypuff's.
Omagela fossils are never found. It's unknown if this is because ancient Omagela didn't exist, or if their soft bodies never formed fossils.
While it's impossible for an average person to tell the difference, an Omagela actually has two types of tentacles; one is plantlike and breaks and regrows easily, while the other is hard as stone and never grows back.
Beechu is quick to fight invaders in its territory, but whether it shocks them or uses its stinger, it often does more damage to itself than to its enemy.
Though it is lightning-fast, it is incapable of turning while in flight. Therefore, when it spots prey, it climbs a tree and then leaps directly at them, flying like an arrow.
Noctnoone are known to roost in both nests and burrows. Which they prefer appears to depend purely on the personality of the individual.
Togechop can't see, and can barely hear. Its primary sense is its ability to detect emotions, which it uses to protect those in need even from the day it's born.
Togechop has a natural love for martial arts, but hates to cause harm to others. A Trainer should raise it alongside a stronger Pokémon which Togechop can spar with without risk of hurting it.
Togechoke's dense muscles are almost indestructible, but its egg is even more durable. Even if one is completely defeated in battle and badly hurt, the egg probably won't even crack.
Togechoke can sense the emotions of other living things. Feeling harm being done to others fills it with rage, but it abhors violence, so it meditates to maintain self-control.
Even by the standards of Pokémon, Togechamp isn't smart. However, it is highly motivated to spread joy and comfort to all nearby it, and its muscles give it more than enough power to.
While one of its components, Togetic, is known for bringing fortune, Togechoke brings it in a literal sense. It delivers gifts to those in need, using its strength to ensure all get their fair share.
Togechamp creates the gifts it delivers by hand. This dexterity, which it can also use for destructive power, allows it to work on two or even four gifts simultaneously.
The cold air around this Pokémon's body is enough to make small Bug-type Pokémon sluggish enough to be easily caught. If it can't find any, it settles for Grass-type Pokémon.
When bright sunlight shines down on Sunloom, the heat energy makes its flower spin, lifting it straight into the air. It is said that the feeling it experiences at these times is pure joy.
Each gem on its tail contains more electricity than a power plant makes in a year. When it emerges from deep underground, electronics for miles around malfunction from the static alone.
Sneatoed is a devious plotter who constantly invents evil plans. However, it only uses these plans to catch Bug-type Pokémon, so humans consider it harmless and docile.
Though it's overflowing with lava, Magkia never burns the ground because any that drips off of it is immediately teleported away. Some believe it is teleported directly into the ground, transforming many stable mountains into explosive volcanoes.
It taps its feet on the ground rhythmically, using the vibrations to search for buried roots to eat. Humans have long used Swicolo's 'dance' to inspire songs.
Though they can make dams, Ekbarel find this a boring and tiring task. Often, they block rivers with nothing but their own oversized bodies.
Though Mildactyl is highly territorial over the skies, when it raises a clutch, its broodiness temporarily makes it docile. Its hatchlings love its milk, but few people have ever had a chance to try it.
This Pokémon has a reputation for sage-like calmness. It's said it can purify all evil thoughts from one's mind, but not even it can permanently change one's personality.
Suikazam almost never comes into physical contact with the outside world. A psychic barrier prevents even a mote of dust from landing on it, even in its sleep.
Although Pikasian has a tendency to shock or scratch its Trainers for no reason, it also has a reputation for being immediately forgiven for this.
Tanpass's tentacles are sharp iron shavings bound by magnetism. One should be careful to not push into them with too much force, since their narrow protrusions can cut human skin.
Tanpass's tentacles have no nerves or muscles inside them. They're made of metal shavings, which Tanpass controls only via magnetism.
The protective liquid surrounding Togesis's body only repels those with hostile intent; if you mean it no harm, you can pass right through.
Despite its strength, this Pokémon is known to be a pacifist. Unlike Togekiss, it intentionally seeks out strife in order to intervene and bring peace.
Sandwile is known to preserve the bodies of its prey in the sand within its jaws. However, it is forgetful and often forgets about its dehydrated prey, dropping them when it opens its mouth to catch something else.
Leafkrow are known as mean, vicious creatures that keep long grudges. Fortunately, most of their cruelty and revenge is lashed out at plants.
When a predator approaches, these Pokémon group together, interlocking their wings into a shield that superficially resembles a hive.
Unlike a wild Sandslash, Sandwile cannot curl into a ball. Instead, it blocks attacks with its armored maw, which is so hard that not even a Houndoom bite can crack it.
The symbol Sandwile carries in its hair is similar to a human symbol that means 'life.' Some have proposed that it carries this symbol to lure humans into a false sense of security, making them easier prey.
The tissue connecting Metish's bones are made of metal and grind loudly against each other. Therefore, it cannot move silently.
Venuowl sleeps at the top of the forest canopy during the day, allowing the sun to beam down on its flower. When the flower blooms, Venuowl grows lighter, allowing it to glide more gracefully and silently.
Because of the shape of its jaws, Mawslash has been known to curl into a ball and roll down steep hills, catching smaller Pokémon by simply rolling them into the cage made up of its teeth.
Ramchamp's punches and headbutts are so powerful that it finds most battles too easy. It will only use them against opponents it considers worthy.
Slagar are perfectly silent, even when approaching fruits to eat. This is usually useless, but sometimes comes in handy when the fruit is actually a Grass-type Pokémon.
Though its powerful body seems designed for battle, Slacor still avoids fights, remaining mostly vegetarian and keeping its distance from aggressive Pokémon.
Nidosire buries itself in dirt or mud with only its venomous horn exposed. When prey stumbles onto it, it devours them while they're paralyzed.
While Wurmple spend most of their time eating in order to evolve, Duscple doesn't need to eat. It's said its sustenance comes from absorbing the souls of those who touch its shadow while it hangs from the branches of trees.
Duscscoon is much lighter than it looks because its cocoon is almost completely hollow. Inside, only a ball of shadowy flame rages, ripe to eventually transform into something new and terrible.
Though many Ghost-types are nocturnal, Dusctox prefers the dusk. It is believed by some that this is because the setting sun casts long shadows, and those who stand under the shadow of Dusctox's wings have their souls absorbed by it.
This little Pokémon never needs to eat, drink, or even breathe. All its body's sustenance is provided by its spatial link to the stars, with excess energy being released constantly in the form of superheated flames.
Drifbgia is usually lazy and harmless, but when it comes time to feed, it conjures its own winds to blow it towards its prey at high speed.
Clefpert is naturally timid, but never runs from danger. The longer it lives, the less it experiences fear at all. An elder Clefpert has unshakable courage.
Galvano is blind and detects its targets through their electromagnetic signatures. Ground-type Pokémon are often completely undetectable to it.
Electric currents flow freely through Galvanlous's necks and heads, effectively connecting its brains. They operate as one, weaving intricate webs extremely quickly.
This Pokémon catches far more prey in its electric webs than it needs to eat. It only actually tries to eat those strong enough to escape and challenge it.
The solid parts of Chandelrill's body are actually very dense and heavy. However, its flames produce so much buoyancy that, in total, it is almost weightless.
While Chandelgle's artwork is often beautiful, it isn't recommended to touch it. It eternally burns with flames that water can't extinguish.
Zweitor doesn't have a long neck like Hytor, nor can it fly like Hydreigon. However, it still obsessively tries to catch flying prey that's usually out of reach.
Each of Hytor's necks has three heads, two of which are usually unconscious. The central neck runs most bodily functions, the right only feels rage, and the left only uses psychic powers.
Each of its nine tails absorbs and releases a different frequency of light. No one knows what would happen if all nine shone at once.
The ball on its tail isn't affected by gravity, but is so dense that its mass is greater than that of the rest of the body. Due to inertia, Deorill can hang from its tail in midair and appear to float for a while.
The double-helix design on Deorill's body isn't just for show; by studying it, scientists discovered that it is identical to the actual DNA that makes up its body.
Basea are a popular pet to keep in an aquarium. Onlookers should never tap the glass lest Basea see it as a challenge and charge.
Rosewoodo disguises itself as a flower bush to avoid fights. In the wild, that works fine, but when humans are around it backfires; the flowers are so beautiful that they're often picked.
With their great weight and lack of legs, Zudude often need to throw themselves off of steep ledges to take flight.
Garbcario's connection to normal trash is more than physical. Without using sight, sound, or smell, it can track down pieces of garbage which are perfect to add to its body.
Carxew often mark their territory by carving gashes into the hulls of ships. Naturally, sailors don't like them very much.
This Pokémon attacks by swimming at high speeds under its target and slashing them with its dorsal fin, which is sharper and tougher than an axe.
Sharpxure can leap out of the water and land on the deck of a ship. It's covered in so many sharp edges that the ship will almost always be sunk.
This devious Pokémon creates snowstorms to kill the tallest trees in forests, ensuring it gets more light and water for itself.
Necrochu greedily devours light, but it can never store much of it for long. What it has is regularly released in the form of lasers or other energy with very little control.
An elegant fighter, its agile midair attacks are often more for showmanship than violence. Though the feathers on its arms have bladelike qualities, it may need to strike foes more than a hundred times before they are defeated.
Its scales and bones are both made of frozen rocks rather than calcium. When it smashes full-force into obstacles, it often chips parts of its body, but it seems to feel no pain.
When competing for a mate, Auropardos take turns producing walls of diamond and ice for their rivals to smash. The first to collapse unconscious is the loser, but these contests often take all day.
The coral growths on its surface are believed to be critical parts of its nervous system. However, they are much harder than steel, so aiming for them isn't effective in battle.
The spikes on its shell look like ice but are harder than diamonds. They are formed under the enormous pressure at the very bottom of the sea.
The lights that can be seen on Venotina's chest are similar to Venonat's eyes, but no such Pokémon has been seen exiting Venotina's body, so the lights remain a mystery.
Chesdile has spiked armor on its back, a heavily muscled tail, slashing claws, gnashing jaws, and perfect binocular vision. Between them all, it is almost impossible to approach it from any direction.
The light on Pumpdra's underbelly attracts prey in the dark of the deep sea. It's said that it does not eat their bodies, instead merely trapping their souls to produce more light.
Gourdra barely needs to eat and mostly slumbers peacefully on the seafloor. When it's bothered, though, it's said it can frighten all nearby Pokémon to death.
Depending on the minerals Diantar consumes when it is born, it will grow a variety of different crystals. Due to their size and purity, Diantar crystals are popular on the black market.
Pluszma crosses the sky faster than lightning. It shines its light on humans and Pokémon it notices are fearful, giving them courage.
While Victreetops is fully capable of hunting prey actively, it prefers to lay in wait. It can hide perfectly underwater, amongst tall grass, or even in the treetops.
Unlike Victreebel, Victreetops can devour prey much bigger than its mouth. It does this by shredding them into smaller pieces and swallowing those one-by-one.
Despite looking like a plant, Victreetar isn't remotely soft. Almost nothing it swallows can break out. It can eat a live hand grenade and suffer no serious damage.
Victreeitar has two mouths, but doesn't use them both to eat. While the topmost mouth consumes food, the mouth on its midsection is seemingly only used to fire Hyper Beam, Ice Beam, and Solar Beam attacks.
In the wild, Victreeizard's false head is usually hidden inside its mouth, though it is always visible when it is fighting. When potential prey gets too close, it is known to become impatient and snap at it, allowing it to escape.
Dewslash is known to loiter on ice sheets without moving for days at a time. It has no fear of predators, because its layered spines make its back almost impossible to attack it.
The droning noise made by Drownat's vibrating antennae can lull one to peaceful sleep or induce crippling headaches depending on its mood.
