Bulbapi can tuck itself into its bulb-like shell for protection and camouflage. If a predator gets too close, it can also spray a pollen meant to reduce aggression in others and pacify them.

It uses discarded parts of Metapod shells as protective armor. Its club is used mainly to knock tasty leaves and berries down from trees for it to eat.
In desperate moments, it won't hesitate to use unwitting Caterpie as makeshift clubs for self-defense. It tries not to damage its impromptu weapon too much.
Catervee is most often seen in the wild during the autumn season, indulging in feasts of fallen and dried leaves. Some people have taken to using Catervee as an easier way to clear their yard of foliage.
It has a strong appetite for fresh leaves straight from the branches. A hungry Caterdactyl can strip a verdant tree bare in about an hour.
Caterring are often employed by high-end restaurants for their pleasant demeanor and surprising professionalism. They are easily compensated as well, only asking for a nice plate of fresh leaves after a job well-done.
If two Cateragon spy the same leaf, they will headbutt each other to battle over who will eat the meal. Their stubborn nature means the leaf is often snatched by another Pokémon while the Cateragon duke it out.
It combines Voltorb's self-destructive tendencies with Electrode's enhanced power stores. Voltode's smug grin reflects its explosive potential and the ego fed by the fear it inspires.
Care must be taken after a Volttini sheds its skin, as the discarded layer is still volatile. Improper handling will lead to it bursting into a shower of sparks.
A Volttata is considered highly dangerous: it gnaws on electrical wires to siphon electricity, but if it consumes too much at one time, it will explode and cause greater damage.
As a warning, it shakes its tail to make a low rumble of rattling noises, sparks flying from the tip. If the warning is ignored, it strikes the ground near the agitator, creating an explosion.
When curled up, it looks nearly identical to a normal Voltorb. It pranks groups of Voltorb by hiding among them, then uncurling to send them flying with its trunk.
Voltsey enjoys helping Trainers catch other Pokémon, somehow producing a variety of Poké Balls on its own to share. To the chagrin of many, there are no records of a Voltsey that can create Master Balls.
Rival Voltshrew in the wild curl into balls and roll at each other to establish dominance. If these displays last long enough, their combined electricity may produce sparks and even lightning.
Voltvoir contains vast amounts of electricity, seen crackling within certain parts of its body. Should something threaten its Trainer, it will not hesitate to discharge explosive bursts of lightning to defend them.
Factories once tested using Voltink as generator parts due to their high stores of electricity. This experiment was quickly put to rest after incidents of Voltink exploding while inside the machines.
It flies through the air, gnashing at anything close. If it latches its fangs onto something, it creates a small explosion with enough force to propel itself backwards.
Workers in electric plants are always on the lookout for Voltfisk. It's considered highly dangerous due to being easy to overlook and step on, whereupon it explodes with great force.
It buries itself into the soil in order to absorb nutrients from the dirt around it. If anything touches the leaves that remain above ground, it will explode in self-defense.
Great caution must be taken in the presence of Voltlix, as it can extend floss-thin tendrils out around it that carry massive voltage levels to shock anything that earns its ire.
Electrtung uses its massive tongue to discharge excess electricity to avoid becoming bloated and ill. Some hospitals have even used them as living defibrillators.
Electrdon discharges massive bursts of electricity from its horn, often during violent thunderstorms. It's thought that if it doesn't periodically release this energy, it may cataclysmically explode.
Each segment of Electrlix's body is capable of exploding with tremendous force. Triggering one sets off the rest in a devastating chain reaction.
The central head of Electrdrio contains all of the electricity in its body, as well as all the aggression. This leaves the other two heads very wary of setting it off in any way.
What looks like a tongue is actually part of the amorphous insides of Exeggtung. It can grow, shrink, and reshape this appendage for a variety of purposes.
A yolk-like ooze surrounds the egg-shaped core of the body. Whenever it morphs, this core is always faintly visible somewhere in its transformed form.
The eggs it produces serve as its own special paint for creating murals. If it runs out of its current batch, it can use the fluid inside its head, though this causes visible discomfort.
It constantly creates more yolk-like fluid within, offering it to others to sample. Those that drink it develop faint psychic powers for a few hours afterward.
The six faces on its body allow it to be aware of its surroundings at all times. The yolk-like substance it secretes from its head is said to grant a person a glimpse into the spirit realm when consumed.
Cuorb's hide is vulnerable, so it uses skulls it finds as makeshift armor for protection. Using some of its electric energy, it lifts and flings other discarded bones as projectiles for added defenses.
The skull it carries is a tragic keepsake it cannot even wear properly. Its large size and appetite is theorized to be the result of using food as a coping mechanism for its sadness.
Some theorize Cutwo is one of the last discarded failed attempts at creating Mewtwo, that managed to cling to life after being rejected. It has a cold, emotionless personality, except in battle, where it releases its boundless rage.
Cudile keeps the bones left behind from meals to use as tools in battle. Between meals and fights it gnaws on the bone club to keep its teeth maintained, as well as staving off boredom.
When at rest, Curak tucks its legs into the skull shell and clings to trees. The eerie image of several Curak skulls covering tree trunks has become a popular sight in horror media.
A greedy little Pokémon that steals anything it gets, Cutata will even steal away the bones of others of its kind, for no other reason than it can.
Old rumors circulate that Cutler is the remains of poached Stantler reanimated for the sake of vengeance. Its tendency to appear in places where Stantler poaching was high helps perpetuate these rumors.
Wild Blissey will often adopt orphan Cubone, carrying them in its pouch, feeding them its eggs and raising them tenderly. The joy and love these newly-formed families feel is palpable.
Cuoh is a very solitary, aggressive Pokémon that lives deep in underground caverns. The bones of previous trespassers are strewn about its territory as a warning for travelers to delve no further.
Cuvoir possesses a psychic connection with the souls of deceased Marowak. It communes with them in the afterlife, attempting to grant their spirits some measure of peace, so they may rest.
Tales exist that say Cutomb is an entire generations' worth of Cubone and Marowak spirits tied to the same skeleton. Despite the frightening appearance, Cutomb is surprisingly gentle and kind to those unafraid of it.
It appears to be a reanimated Milotic skeleton buried beneath sand and old seaweed. It hunts by pretending to be simple scenery, before leaping out and attacking prey with the sharp ends of its bones.
It wears the skull of another unfortunate Diglett on its head for protection. Culett was first discovered after sightings of "Diglett ghosts" became increasingly more common.
Cura defends itself from multiple angles with the telekinetically controlled bones of deceased Marowak. In serious situations, it reforms the entire skeleton to battle an opponent alongside it.
It feels angry and forlorn, though it cannot remember the reason why. It finds some tranquility when in the presence of Slowpoke and Cubone families.
Despite its size, Cunix is gentle and non-confrontational. It prefers gently nudging or batting away problems with the bone on its tail rather than using its massive stone-and-bone-covered body.
Familial love allows the spirit of a Marowak to stay tethered to the mortal realm. Though it is no longer alive, the ghost will stay by its side and protect it always.
Marosey is said to communicate with the souls of fallen Marowak. It takes it upon itself to care for any and all Cubone it comes across, to soothe the matron spirit it communes with.
Marotu was often seen as an assistant to priests of ancient tribal civilizations. It was believed that using and wearing the bones of fallen Pokémon allowed it to draw from their spirits and gaze into the afterlife.
Marotuff's bone club emits a faint aura that lets it gently put people into a restful slumber. It stays near the sleeper, using the club just as effectively for defense should an attacker draw close to them.
Marosect scuttles around caverns, pretending to be a hollow skull to avoid predators. It is said that if one listens closely, the faint and eerie cry of a Marowak can be heard echoing within the skull-like growth.
The skulls on each head are so solidly built that it's often said nothing can survive being hit by all three in tandem. Marodrio dashes across arid dry lands at night, leaping through the air with a piercing cry.
Its still-budding aura sense is strongest in its well-trained legs. As such, it has to kick or otherwise touch a person with its feet in order to sense their aura.
Hitmonbat perches on cave ceilings until it needs to hunt, rocketing downward with its foot to knock prey out in one strike. The "Hitmonbat Kick" is a popular image in recent media.
Hitmoncool was thought to be an undiscovered variant of Toedscool until further research was performed. Its leg-like tentacles are deceptively strong, and deliver a potent dose of poison with every kick.
Hitmonler can tuck its multiple feet into its body in order to roll down steep slopes. This also makes it adept at hiding limbs in combat until the right moment to launch surprise kicks at opponents.
The screws at the bottom of Hitmonmite's body are much longer than they seem, able to extend far outward at high speed as an attack. Though small, these "kicks" carry enough power to send a Golem flying.
Its feet can operate freely from the main body, allowing it to launch kicking attacks from long distances at any angle. They must return to it to recharge periodically, however, or risk falling out of the sky and becoming useless until retrieved.
Above and especially beneath the waters, Hitmoneel delivers a strong kick with the swing of its tail. After winning a match, it claps its arms and feet together in celebration of victory.
Hitmonlee uses its retractable and stretchy legs to maintain balance while ducking and weaving from an opponent's blows. They also allow it to take positions that let it punch from unorthodox angles.
Hitmondour has firm protective plating formed around the head, so that its skull is guarded against opponents and other Hitmondour it trains with. Humanity may have taken inspiration from it when creating boxing safety gear.
Hitmonpass's gloves contain powerful magnets, propelling them forward once they've locked onto a foe. Hitmonpass floats back and forth as it waits for its opponent to strike, magnetically repelling itself to dodge before delivering a devastating counter.
A pugilistic pup with a penchant for punches, Hitmonolu powers up its aura through fisticuffs. In particularly intense training bouts or battles, its fists may even begin emitting aura with each swing.
It trains itself by flying above and striking others with its fist-feet. Because of its small stature, the strikes are viewed more as a considerable nuisance than actually painful.
Hitmonbat never uses its fangs while hunting, only its fists. It fights prey one-on-one, and only deigns to sink its teeth and draw blood if it has knocked an opponent out in a straightforward bout.
Its frozen fists chill the air around it, forming ice whenever it throws a punch. It is said that even the hottest of Fire-Type Pokémon will be frozen solid from getting hit by even a single jab.
Hitmonnea's boxing style is unrefined, consisting of wild swinging of its arms until it hits something. It hydrates itself often before and after battle, to the point of excess, leaving it bloated and slower-moving for a time.
Hitmonler often taunts an opponent by beating its chest, daring a foe to take the first hit. Those that fall for the gambit find themselves hit by a punishing counter from Hitmonler's four fists.
Though its punches are already potent, Hitmonmite excels in fighting Steel-type opponents. It shifts the polarity of its fists so they magnetize toward the target, increasing the speed and force it can punch metallic foes with.
Hitmonton can fire two of its fist-like components outward as long-distance punching attacks. Attached magnets ensure they quickly return, ready to be launched again.
Hitmonster are constantly seen closed and at rest, their tough shell and sharp spikes deterring most predators. Those who attempt to forcefully pry open the shell will see it open suddenly to launch a devastating punch from within.
Thanks to a hive mind, any flavor one egg's tongue comes across, the others will taste as well. Should one of the clutch find something particularly delicious, the entire group will swarm and lick it intensely from all sides.
Between the stone whip it carries and its thick tongue, Lickiwak is never lacking a tool to bludgeon opponents. It's quite protective of smaller, younger Pokémon it resides near.
If something piques its interest, it will charge towards it, intent on licking it thoroughly. It will bowl over anything unfortunate enough to get between it and its target.
Before offering any of its nutritious eggs to others, Lickisey will thoroughly lick them to ensure they are clean. While meant as a gesture of goodwill, this often makes the exchange feel awkward for the other party.
Like its vines, Lickigela's tongue will be replaced by a new one within 24 hours if severed. A severed tongue flops and wriggles for several seconds afterward, a sight many consider unnerving.
With its huge tongue, Lickikhan can gather up large amounts of food in a single motion, gathering it for its child. These large portions are necessary, as Lickikhan young have a prodigious appetite.
The tongue-like organs on its arms let it poke and prod at things to determine if they are tasty or not. It favors areas where lots of tart-flavored berries grow.
When Lickiflora soaks in a sufficient amount of sunlight, the ring of tongue-like petals around its face drips a type of condensation. Some are disturbed by the idea that morning dew might actually be Lickiflora's "saliva".
Lickichu can use lightning coursing from its ears to electrify its tongue in battle to powerful effect. Out of battle, it sometimes "swallows" the electricity on its tongue, apparently enjoying the tingling sensation it brings.
Fusion has caused Lickilicky's body to be unable to retract its long tongue, leaving it forever extended. It must regularly find sources of moisture to lick to prevent its tongue drying out.
Extremely lazy, a lounging Lickiking will gesture at passersby to feed it. Those that do not comply will be seized by its lengthy tongue, then pummeled by its powerful fists for their refusal.
Some have theorized that the entirety of Lickilie's body within the outer casing is comprised of tongues, but this is unconfirmed. Anyone licked by one of its tongues will experience severe chills afterward.
Always eager for a good fight, Lickilucha does not consider a fight truly won until it has pinned its opponent beneath its powerful tongue for a three-count. Unsurprisingly, not many are eager to let it earn this type of victory.
Explorers are cautioned against picking Lickiras's mushrooms, even in cases of dire hunger. In the majority of people, consumption causes a highly uncomfortable swelling of the tongue.
Lickiler wraps its tongue vertically around itself before rolling down mountainsides. Anything that gets stuck to its tongue as it rolls gets slurped up after the downward roll is complete.
Its taste buds are very sensitive, so any time food touches Lickipoke's tongue, its simple mind is overwhelmed by the flavors. It's so enamored by the feeling of it against its tongue that it often forgets to actually eat the food.
The sticky tongue shared by both heads moves between them like a conveyor belt: food flows into one head and disappears, then the other. When bored, the heads may play an odd sort of tug-of-war with the tongue.
It loves to lick up anything it can find off the ground to eat and let its goo-like body grow larger. It can even be seen slurping up parts of its own body that have dripped off and puddled on the ground.
As Lickiuk roams near urban areas, it uses its tongue to grab and swallow any object it comes across. These items are not digested but are left behind in Lickiuk's trail, coated in stinky slime.
Though possessing less power than a normal Weezing, this Pokémon carries itself with a more chipper demeanor as well. It's theorized this is because the fusion resulted in less gas within it, causing less internal pressure.
As a sign of affection, Koffgey will use its wings to blow the clouds it creates in order to share its scent with others. It doesn't seem to realize most others don't appreciate its uniquely pungent aroma.
Koffpix expels fumes from behind at a constant rate, its three tails of smog never dissipating in full. If threatened, it can ignite the fumes and use them to sling fireballs at attackers.
Metakyu gathers discarded pieces of Metapod cocoons in order to form its disguise. Despite the patchwork assembly, the result is rather sturdy, protecting it from predators until it can counterattack.
It struts slowly in the afternoon heat, precisely positioning its wings before flapping in place. The warmth it gathers from the sunlight expedites its evolution process.
It gathers ambient static from the air with the bristles at the end of its wings. When threatened, Metacorio electrifies its shell as a deterrent. Its evolution process is halted while the shell is electrified.
It rests in windy areas to await its evolution, where the breeze stimulates its psychic energy. If the winds grow too forceful, it uses telekinesis to hold steady, hampering its evolution speed.
The extra head has not grown properly, leaving it unstable. Though no longer prone to exploding, a single touch can cause it to release large amounts of foul gas from its pores.
As a conjoined being, both parts of Weeto are able to transform. They cannot separate, however, so their transformations result in having a miniature version of its new form attached to the main body.
The head functioning as a Weecargo's shell regularly puffs out pungent clouds of smoke. Some try to find meaning in the clouds' shapes, such as determining Weecargo's current wants or mood.
In the distant past it was believed inhaling Weetomb's fumes allowed one to commune with the spirit world. In actuality, breathing in high amounts of the gas causes hallucinations.
