The nimble and formidable Starchan is as adept with melee attacks and counters as it is with blasts of water from the gem on its right hand. Wild Starchan travel through regions to grow stronger, backtracking to challenge previously undefeated foes.

Some popular online games involve playing as a Diteon to transform into objects and blend into the environment, hiding from roaming trainers with their Poké Balls, mimicking its behaviour in the wild.

Ditales disguises itself as flowers or shrubs until disturbed. If you spot a plant rustling by itself on a windless day, it might be a Ditales.

Porynx's chiptune singing and stuttery dancing is seen as eerie by some, but other fans use it to inspire their own songs and dances. For some reason, it dances to the sounds of dial-up modems and chugging printers.

The blocks of a Porynix are not physically attached to each other and can shift independently. Despite this, trying to separate them is futile, leading researchers to believe they are attached by strings of code.

When Molshrew rolls down sand dunes in its balled-up form, its flames cook the sand into glass, leading to shining streaks so reflective that they can be seen from space under the right conditions.

Ledbull's compound eyes and sensitive antenna make them excellent sentries, even at nighttime. However, they must be trained not to howl longingly at the stars, which wild Ledbull do every night.

Xatina is a protector of cairns, barrows and other ancient necropolises. It is said to see the true path to the afterlife, and that lost spirits should follow its gaze to find eternal rest.

Flaaeon's wool is a miraculous insulator for electricity, on par with rubber in resistivity. Trainers specialising in Electric-type Pokémon often wear fashion made from Flaaeon wool to prevent static buildup and unwanted shocks.

Guessing the number of yellow rings on an Umbco's shell is a dangerous game played by teenagers as a dare. If one guesses wrong, the rules of the game state they must touch the Umbco and risk it exploding.

Umbtress is a famously patient Pokémon, waiting for days in dark places for unsuspecting prey to pass. If discovered, it can safely hide in its steel shell until nighttime, where the moon's power charges its ability to explode on attackers.

Some Octish hide amidst bushes and shoot Rock Blast attacks at passersby that they deem to be a threat. Others use their suction cups to stick to the sides of tall seaside cliffs, knocking Wingull away when they get near.

The bright yellow and red markings of an Aruk are comprised of highly toxic compounds from waste dumps. As a result, workers at these sites use these colours as warning codes.

The hooked white beak of a Milkrow is prized for its glossy sheen. The secret to its polish is the milk in its tail feathers, which it preens regularly.

A Mil Jr.'s favourite toy is a cowbell. It plays by mimicking people or other Pokémon while holding the bell, making a terrible ruckus.

The white fire on a Milferno's tail is quite noticeable at night, so Milferno keeps it low when it doesn't want to be seen. If it feels threatened, it can make the fire emit a smell of curdled milk, deterring pursuit.

Milrok is cold-blooded, meaning it prefers to inhabit warm environments like deserts. Desert wanderers have used Milrok milk as a cool drink to beat the sun.

The small island Luterra carries on its back maintains its own weather system. Considering that the island also features miniature ruins and cave systems, it is speculated that Luterra may have provided a home for a tiny, extinct civilisation.

Some ancient cultures believed that as Luterra carries an island on its back through the seas and skies, so too did even larger Luterra carry full regions on their backs. The Pokémon is extremely protective of its bonsai, and preens it regularly.

Magmorzor's steel shell contains a core as hot as the mantle of the Earth. The shell is heat-resistant, so you can touch it without getting burned, but excess heat must be vented out through the Pokémon's back and arms.

Sandtres's natural habitat is the deep desert, where the flowing seas of sand dunes are said to be carved by Sandtres rolling through them in its balled-up form. When angered, it whips up sand tornados that can shred through even stone.

Glacekern thrives in cold weather. It buries itself in snow, sustaining itself on the meltwater. The leaves on its head freeze dewdrops into beautiful ice crystals that only melt when spring arrives.

Snow reflects up to 90% of the sun's UV radiation, which energises Glaceflora immensely on bright winter days. However, this can also cause snow blindness, so it must keep its eyes shut at all times.

Videos of Poryetta performances spontaneously appear on random websites or forum threads, leading devoted fans to scour the web for new songs. Their synthpop style is popular among teenagers and middle-aged salarymen.

An old tech myth claimed that the sound of Porymo-o's digital scales clanging together contained a resonant frequency that could crash hard drives on old laptop models. The noise is often pejoratively compared to dial-up modems.

Porytle's globe-like midsection and question mark-shaped tail are used as the logo of an internet search engine. However, the company denied designing the logo, saying that it just appeared on their servers one day before launch.

Mudtom arise from submerged appliances and power sockets during floods. An urban myth states that if you appease the Mudtom with berries or Pokéblocks, the appliance it emerged from will start working again.

The white fire of a Shedpix is smoky, and if left in one place long enough, the entire location will be covered in a fog that causes temporary amnesia.

Touching one of Shedtales's wispy tails burns away an unpleasant memory. However, if someone touches multiple tails, they risk losing pleasant memories as well.

Shedvenant rarely move when observed, creeping closer only when one's back is turned. Some say that glades of Shedvenant slowly encircle anyone who stumbles into them, and the next traveler to find the glade will find one more Shedvenant in the bunch.

Many sightings of strangely-coloured Pokémon can be explained by Kecto's unique ability for disguise. Fishermen tell tales of catching golden Magikarp that melt into pink-and-green goo.

Lucadoom is an honourable and loyal Pokémon, but often lonesome. Its mournful howls can be heard at twilight, where it can sometimes be spotted accompanied by Banette.

Doom is said to arrive with the sighting of an Abtina. Legends say it has the power to bring disasters from parallel worlds to this one in order to save the lives of Pokémon in other dimensions.

The single red eye and golden antlers of Dustler naturally draw the eye, but to look upon a wild Dustler conjures grim images in one's mind. Instead, one must close their eyes when a wild Dustler is around and let it pass unseen.

Despite their appearance, the red jewels on Dusctler's horns are not its eyes, but the source of this Pokémon's ominous power. Its one true eye is inside its mouth, and to stare at it too long is said to drain one's life force.

Dusktler's antlers ring like tuning forks, said to be sensitive to the frequencies of spirits. With this sound and its beckoning hands, it lures unwary travelers into the shadows and steals their memories.

Mineral-rich water drips endlessly from Wailbink, so the caves it lives in are well-populated with Pokémon who grow healthy from it. Like a stalactite, some minerals cling to and harden Wailbink's shell, further strengthening its defenses.

The various spiral patterns on Arcda's body and comprising its halo are mathematically perfect logarithmic spirals, leading researchers to believe Arcda inspired the discovery of the golden ratio.

The core cells of a Aggniclus have hardened into metal through psychically filtering its food for the toughest compounds. The layer of cytoplasm surrounding it is kept at intense pressure to further strengthen the core.

Sometimes spotted around cemeteries, a Girato's ability to transform is thought to arise from collecting the souls of dead Pokémon. For this reason, superstitious folk avoid burying their loved ones in cemeteries where a Girato was spotted.

Researchers have yet to understand the source of Giraown's dark power. Its shape is used by witches and spiritualists in their rituals, hoping to invoke its supposed magic.

If someone sees the piercing red eyes of a Girarunt in a blizzard, it's a sign that they will die from hypothermia if they don't warm up immediately. Despite this frightening tale, climbers regard this Pokémon as a saviour and leave it offerings.

The terrifying visage of a Giralie is believed to have inspired folk tales of demons and yokai. In the past, its freezing breath was said to be the cause of rigor mortis.

Some people who awaken with sleep paralysis describe seeing Darksel out of the corner of their eye. Others report that it lies on their chest and that they are unable to move until it stands up to leave, satiated by their fear.

Cold air in a bedroom and a quiet scratching sound from under the bed are signs that a Darkvile is hidden there. If someone falls asleep in the bed, they will have a nightmare of being chased through their cold, empty hometown by a pack of Darkvile.

Brecorio are excellent dancers that can be found performing for wild Pokémon deep in moonlit forests. They fling spores as they twirl, making for spectacular flourishes that put the Pokémon and any observers to a peaceful sleep.

The wings of a Nintales are only thought to be strong enough to lift it off the ground, so its blinding speed is often attributed to its mystical tails. Just how they contribute, however, is unknown.

Super-intelligent and tremendously strong, two Reunigron engaging in a battle of wits always end in stalemate. Instead they psychically mold their body to form armour and weapons to battle hand-to-hand, although these fights also often end in a draw.

Reunion's metal core is surrounded by a liquid that it uses to break down ores it eats into their purest molecules. Its intelligence is high, but it's still prone to tantrums where it will charge head-first at provocateurs.

Enormous stone effigies depicting Cofatei were built to watch over ancient burial sites. It was revered as a protector of the dead, snatching up graverobbers and bounding away. Anyone taken by a Cofatei was never to be seen again.

Chandeltata can be found in abandoned medieval castles where they gnaw on metal bars. Their fires scare off other Pokémon, making a Chandeltata-infested castle a relatively peaceful destination for explorers and historians.

Chandelicate are considered vermin by historians because they gnaw on artifacts to fuel their fires. If one gets into a museum, it can destroy dozens of priceless relics before it is discovered.

A Chandeltank's belly can be opened like a kiln to be used for making exquisite stained glass. The impurities are vented out through the udders, which act like chimneys.

The playful Goluvee's tails crackle with burgeoning power, set to be unleashed when they evolve. Ancient writings claim they were common pets that doubled as guardians, evolving in an emergency to fight threats.

It is believed that Golufarig was designed by an ancient, technologically-advanced civilisation as a weapon to destroy a great evil. When its tail spots an enemy, it can fire powerful psychic beams from its horns.

Some wild Vuljask have difficulty controlling their tremendous speed and leave scorch marks on trees they fly into. These marks can become helpful guideposts for wanderers lost off-trail in the woods.

When Vulcada feels threatened, they raise their tails up and fan them around to appear intimidating. This scatters loose hair and dirt, which alight in a display of pops like firecrackers.

Klefnette appears to people who have lost their door keys and offers one of its own. This key will unlock whatever door it opens, but it can never be properly locked again, and at a later time Klefnette will slip inside to steal whatever it pleases.

Ninejask's many tails flutter like ribbons as it slaloms around forest trees. At top speed, they leave a trail of scorching air that can scald the unaware.

Loose hairs, leaves, and twigs often get caught up in Ninecada's tails as it roots around in the forest. They can ignite this detritus to make their tails appear on fire in a dazzling display.

A tree that a Ninpix burrows under is said to be protected from burning down during wildfires. As a result, some people in fire-risk areas invite Ninpix to burrow underneath their homes.

Internet jokes say Arniclus's brain is always growing, but its metallic shell is rigid. To stop itself from exploding, it supposedly has to shrink its brain by engaging in whatever the jokester finds childish or distasteful.

Buntank is a favourite choice for petting zoos thanks to its plush fur and genial demeanour. Stuffed toys depicting Buntank are growing in popularity among young children.

Divers sometimes report recognising the faces of those missing at sea on the masks that Yagalge carry. Researchers believe this is attributed to pareidolia, as when analysed, the masks are just seabed rocks eroded in ways that appear like faces.

To a Sablsey, gems are far too precious to be used for food, so it collects and stashes them in self-made lairs. These lairs are vulnerable to a Sandslash's instinctual burrowing, however, leading to a rivalry between these species.

When Sablkhan care for young Sableye, the Sableye become exceedingly demanding and picky about the gems they eat. When alone, they stuff their pouch full of rare and high-quality jewels, leading to wild Sableye competing for Sablkhan's affection.

Sabltwo's biology is unstable, with the gems on its body growing day by day. A Sabltwo with large gems can be expected to be experienced and capable of extreme power, though at some point an unrestrained Sabltwo might fully crystallise.

Trecario are forest guardians, blending in with bushes and against tree trunks to spy on intruders in their territory. They can read auras and attack if they detect a threat to their domain, so loggers and lumberjacks must stay wary.

If a Treloud falls in a forest and nobody is around, someone will still hear it. Its cry is compared to the cracking of thunder, so loud that birds nesting miles away still take off in fear.

Treatone gather around mystical sites deep in the woods and are said to have played important roles in historical witchcraft and druidic rituals. The moss and leaves that grow on their bodies glow fluorescent under moonlight.

Tregalge drifts along the surface of rivers, indistinguishable from a mass of mossy driftwood. Riverboat captains have learned to be cautious of driftwood for this reason, as it may snatch sailors off their boats and drown them if provoked.

Cotton constantly grows on a Stuffterra's tree, so Trainers seeking to catch one can follow trails of cotton fluff shed onto the floor or caught in tree branches. A Stuffterra's back is said to be an unbeatable spot for a rejuvenating nap.

Wild Beterra hibernate for long stretches of the year, with many other wild Pokémon sleeping on its comfy back while it rests. During this time it wakes up for a maximum of 5 minutes a day to shake off any dirt, then goes right back to sleep.

Wild Amarak harvest frozen dewdrops from their webs and store them in silken hammock traps between tree branches. If a bird harasses the Amarak, it lures them underneath the hammocks and drops the ice crystals on their heads.

Farmers are always on the lookout for cunning Lycanvile. As nocturnal predators, a single one can devastate a herd of Mareep overnight.

An urban myth claims that eating cheese before sleeping causes nightmares, but eating Cresstank cheese before bed verifiably causes pleasant, peaceful dreams. It's expensive, but a guaranteed remedy for people who suffer from trauma or night terrors.

The milk of a Cartank is extremely high in mineral content, but too high for humans to safely drink. Instead, Rock-type and Steel-type Pokémon use it to make their bodies even tougher.

The crystals of a Carbat are constantly growing, which can inhibit flight if they're not taken care of by chipping them on cave rocks. When polished, these chipped jewels are used to make expensive wedding rings thought to bless marriages.

If a Chesros lowers its head and charges at max speed, the spike can pierce reinforced steel. Fortunately, Chesros are even-tempered Pokémon, preferring only to use their incredible strength as a last resort.

In addition to its wings, Torbat flies by blasting hot air from rocky vents on its back, not unlike a jetpack. It's seen as a pest by workers at coal refineries, since it feeds on their piles of unprocessed ore.

Scraflia's rebellious nature can prove too much for inexperienced Trainers to handle. Wild Scraflia settle into cliques to gossip and shoot judgemental glares at anyone outside their group.

Minivee's biology is comprised of multiple rare and potent minerals, giving it an uncommonly high potential for evolution. These minerals' development is associated with the weather in the Minivee's chosen habitat.

Minicross's horn is so strong that it can fling other Pokémon high into the air. Some Minicross have been recorded flinging small rocks as high as the upper troposphere, leading to theories that it does so to aid in the formation of new Minior.

Dianvee's sensitivity to evolution stones is so strong that the pink gems on its body will change colour in the proximity of one. Some trainers with Dianvee keep evolution stones on their person to make their Pokémon match their outfit.

Rubbing the belly of a Luvtank is said to bless one's romantic pursuits with good luck. Fortune-tellers buy small gold statues of this Pokémon to entice customers around romance festivals.

According to legend, kissing a stone that Luvrock has discarded from its body endows the kisser with 'the gift of the gab'. Tourist attractions advertise pink Luvrock stones for kissing, but their veracity is unprovable.

Zigbat swoops back and forth, emitting ultrasonic clicks and barks from multiple angles so rapidly that those sensitive to the sounds may think there are multiple Zigbat closing in on them. It is a beloved yet high-maintenance pet.

Spincario's spinning kicks are fearsomely strong, but it's in question whether they're intentional or the Pokémon is simply staggering around dizzily. It's drawn to unbalanced auras, so some people use it to spot red flags on first dates.

Spinrelp can be found in coral reefs, their tails wrapped securely around rocks or kelp plants. They sway listlessly in the ocean currents, but in a bizarre sight, multiple Spinrelp in a group never sway in the same direction as each other.

Spingalge swim in circles at the edge of coral reefs, creating whirlpools that can sink small ships. Once thought to be accidental, new research suggests this behaviour might be deliberate, intending the sunken ships as new habitats for coral.

The menacing gaze of a Lunaode induces a sense of time running out in observers. This is often accurate, as Lunaode have a tendency to explode when something gets uncomfortably close.

Before the invention of telescopes, some cultures believed Lunavenant lived in forests on the moon, and anyone caught unaware by one on our world would be stolen away to run through lunar Lunavenant forests for eternity.

During the day, Lunabat hang upside-down from magnificent stone buildings, and are often mistaken for gargoyles. When the moonlight hits them, they awaken, swooping from their perches and seeking midnight trysts to psychically feed on.

During a lunar eclipse, a Solatone's body turns deep red and its power surges tremendously. Astronomers claim Solatone on the moon gather at these times to channel this power, but for what purpose is a mystery.

A herd of Spherill clapping at once can be as loud as a full sports stadium. The canned applause used for television shows is sometimes a recording of multiple Spherill.

Searill enjoys balancing round objects like balls on the top of its head. Because of its round body, it will also balance other members of its species, creating towers up to 5 individuals tall.

Swoozma's appearance was used as a motif in certain cultures to represent love at first sight. The light that it summons for its attacks is so blinding that the idiom 'love is blind' became commonly known.

Swooxen is a kind and excitable Pokémon, but deep down, it is scared of being lonely. When it twirls its staff, it psychically compels love from all who witness it.

Swoophox are master magicians, driven by applause from impressed crowds. However, some researchers suspect Swoophox of incorporating high-frequency sounds in their shows to influence audience thought patterns.

Skretini slide into gaps between rocks in coral reefs, poking their heads out to investigate divers passing by. They shed their old skin by rubbing on the rocks, and while this skin feeds the reef, a freshly shed Skretini is toxic to the touch.

Young Squirtgle are habitual vandals, spray-painting humourous doodles on fences and garage doors. Older Squirtgle tend to show remorse, helping to clean up their immature graffiti with Water Gun attacks.

Grida's toxic fumes cause nausea and dizziness, which even the Pokémon itself seems to be vulnerable to. Despite this, it has a small fandom, who use it as a mascot for 'sludgemaxxing'.

An ancient prophecy depicted Muquaza as a bringer of destruction. It is spotted in areas of extreme pollution, with seven distinct types of crude oil detected in its composition that fuel its tremendous power.

For a long time, Mutina sightings were thought to be paranoid hallucinations brought on by toxic gases, but recent research has confirmed its existence. The miasma it emanates is indeed psychotoxic, causing deep existential dread.

Muvenant's poison is a blessing and a curse. In a forest blighted by pollution, its roots draw out the toxins to cleanse the place. In a healthy forest, however, its natural toxicity can do irreversible damage.

Muda's slovenly demeanour and stumbling movement is used as a negative example for anti-alcohol PSAs. In reality, the Pokémon is just clumsy, always making a mess by pure accident.

Gentank is responsible for many spooky mysteries and folk tales surrounding rural farms. Despite this, some farmers seek out a Gentank for their herd, as its mischief trains cattle to be less easily frightened, making for better-quality milk.

Genda cause mischief by hiding in people's shadows, inflicting them with an incurable dizziness until the Pokémon leaves. While the victim lays down to recover, it tickles them to make them feel like the room is spinning.

Krabdactyl is a fast swimmer, and can fly short distances out of the water to avoid attacks from Sharpedo. In ancient seas, it used its powerful jaw in conjunction with its sharp pincers to crack the shells of Omanyte.
