Milcko make nests high in the canopies of forests out of dried grass. The nest serves both as insulation for their eggs and as a handy source of food to munch on when they get hungry.
Miltile use their immense strength to topple trees in the forest, repeatedly headbutting the largest fruit trees they can find until they fall. The entire herd then gathers together to feast on the fallen leaves and fruit.
Miltomp herds make burrows along riverbanks, sheltering from storms and poor weather in the safety of their muddy homes. When the weather is good, they emerge as a single herd to graze on bullrushes.
Milpert are frequently used to protect herds of Miltank. They are protective Pokémon and blast would-be predators with jets of high-pressure milk to dissuade them.
Milwig eat fallen nuts and fruits, processing the moisture from their food and storing it within their shell. The liquid ferments into a plant-based milk that has a sweet, nutty flavour to it.
Milterra produce vast quantities of milk each day, and are frequently provided their own milk pails to carry so that farmhands can ensure none goes to waste. Some farms make use of their willingness to carry pails to ferry produce to markets.
Milterra herds have risen to popularity amongst the model house community. Each Milterra has a different house constructed upon its shell, and the movement of the herd creates an ever-changing village for the model enthusiasts to enjoy.
Milterra burgers are often presented at restaurants as a challenge meal for a person to try to eat in a single sitting. While the rich flavour is enticing, the sheer size means it tends to rapidly become cold and unappetising.
Milup huddle together on glaciers for warmth, relying on their body heat and thick layers of blubber to shield them against the cold. Particularly sickly Milup are nursed with milk by their peers to ensure they survive colder weather.
Milplup spend most of their lives living separately from one another on ice sheets, preferring to wander their home in solitude. The only time they gather together is when they swim as a single herd in search of seagrass in the ocean to feed.
Milking claim entire herds of Miltank as their own, watching over the grazing Pokémon protectively. They save most of their energy for defending the herd and go on rampages when their charges come under threat.
Milquaza herds twist their way through the upper atmosphere, drinking clouds for moisture. Their milk forms the seeds for new clouds and leads to mineral-rich rainfall.
Consuming Milkia's cheese induces strange dreams of distant worlds and distorted spaces. These dreams are commonly assumed to be a result of having a brief taste of Milkia's power.
Milgigas's cheese loses its flavour as the Pokémon ages. Young Milgigas cheese is soft and has a fine, nutty flavour that pairs well with a variety of foods.
Milgigas's cheese loses its flavour as the Pokémon ages. Old Milgigas cheese is hard and has little flavour to it. Chefs primarily use heavily aged Milgigas cheese as a binding agent for other foods rather than as a central ingredient.
Milgigas produce more milk steadily as they grow older. While young Milgigas can barely produce a pail of milk per day, old Milgigas can comfortably produce enough milk on their own to support an entire dairy farm.
Milking's chocolate carapace and ice-cream-filled body make it a popular choice of dessert at high-end restaurants. They are difficult to hunt, however, meaning that meals based around them command a high price tag.

Milrom are employed at industrial dairies, using their powerful turbines to churn vats of milk. Each Milrom has their own preference for which flavour of milk they work with, with the majority of Milrom preferring to work with chocolate milk.
Milrade's flowers give off a faint milky fragrance. Their smell changes based on the quality of the food they eat, and if their diet is poor they take on a sour, sickly odour.
Milrade are often put to work in cafés where they can dispense milk into multiple hot drinks at once. They are fed a healthy diet of plants and vegetables to ensure their milk tastes as good as possible.
Milrade are put to work on ranches, helping around the grounds with daily maintenance tasks. They have a fondness for tending to other Pokémon and give off a pleasing aroma when they're happily at work.
Miljask flit from meadow to meadow at incredibly high speeds. They are difficult to track and, if a predator does manage to get close, they use sudden blasts of milk to launch themselves in a random direction to escape.
Milcott are kept in large herds by farmers looking to sell their wool. Though not as soft as Mareep wool, their wool is much lighter and less prone to carrying static charge, making it more popular for light clothing.
Milpix are popular within the catering industry for their ability to produce strawberry ice cream from their bodies. Their ice cream grows in the form of six tails with the sweetness and richness varying depending on the diet Milpix are fed.
Milflame are used by farmers to transport their produce at high speed across great distances. They are commonly used to transport food that will spoil quickly, flying it to market while it is as fresh as possible.
Milrona form wings out of milk surrounded by a thin, translucent membrane. Their wings are fragile and easily punctured and Milrona launch vicious fiery attacks at those that try to get close to them in an effort to protect their wings from harm.
Milous's combative nature makes them difficult Pokémon to farm effectively, as they regularly battle with other Pokémon on the farm, including other Milous. As a result, dairy products made from Milous milk command a high price.
Milinch supplement their vegetarian diet with mineral-rich rocks, using their powerful jaws to crunch boulders and gravel into bite-sized pieces. Their milk promotes strong bone growth, but they often snap at those who try to milk them.

Travellers lost in the desert are advised to try to seek out Milva swarms. Milva produce a steady stream of highly nutritious milk from their backs and are happy to share it with those who appear to be suffering from dehydration.
Milelgon conserve energy whilst they wait to evolve and are reluctant to move or battle. They store vast amounts of energy as nutrient-rich milk within their bodies. They aggressively ram into anyone who tries to milk them.
Food made using Milrua milk has the unusual property of tasting like a person's favourite meal, regardless of the actual ingredients used. Though it tastes good, food altered this way loses all nutritional value, leaving it as empty calories.
Miltuff herds graze on mountain slopes, relying on their soft and rubbery bodies to protect themselves from harm should they ever lose their footing. When startled, the entire herd runs to the nearest drop and bounces away to safety.
Milelia's petals maintain their vivid white colour thanks to their dairy-rich diet. If Milelia aren't able to regularly drink milk or consume cheese their flowers begin to wilt and turn brown.
Milile dig burrows through fields, feeding on the plant roots they find as they tunnel. They are often considered a pest by farmers for their tendency to eat fresh crops before they can be harvested.
Milpede swarms feed on fallen fruit in forests, storing the sugar in their bodies to prepare themselves for evolution. Excess sugars are excreted through glands in the carapace as a thick, milky substance.
Milpede graze constantly during the summer, storing excess fats as milk in each of their body segments. They rely on this store to allow them to survive the winter when most plants have lost their leaves.
Roving packs of Milrunt can prove problematic for dairy farms due to their preference for consuming milk and cheese products. They use their powerful jaws to rip through fences and can drink up to five gallons of milk in a day.
Though difficult to harvest, Miledo's ice cream is widely regarded as a delicacy worth its high price. Their ice cream has a caramel flavour that is enhanced by the salty seawater it is frequently submerged in.
Miltump drift through orphanages in search of hungry children. They offer children a drink of their milk, though a common belief holds that accepting their offer will lead the child to a tragically short life of misfortune.
Herds of Milvenant graze deep within forests, searching out dead or dying trees to feed on. They form an essential part of the ecosystem, clearing away old growth so that new plants can grow to take their place.
Milbat's make low, mooing cries that are loud enough to cause hearing damage if someone is repeatedly exposed to them. Herds of them use their cries as a weapon, stunning prey before circling in to feed.
Milrock cheese grows steadily stronger in flavour the longer it remains attached to its body. The strength of the flavour becomes unpalatable to most when sampled from a Milrock that is several decades old.
Mileanie produce a weak venom that, when treated with milk, produces a pleasant spicy sensation. Food produced containing their venom is strictly regulated to ensure consumers don't suffer accidental poisoning.
Milapex rely on their multiple rubbery ears to protect their bodies from harm. When threatened, they hunker down and form an airtight seal on the ground, using the horns on their exterior to jab at whatever's attacking them.
Milpod rely on their long horns to scare off predators while they graze. They charge at threats when scared, stopping just a few paces away each time to give the threat time to leave. If their threat display fails, Milpod flee in fear.
Milnat surround their bodies with a thick layer of milk, using the liquid to cushion themselves against physical harm. Their milk contains multiple toxins and is not fit for human consumption.
Miladin herds determine their leader through contests of strength; the two strongest Miladin square off and run into one another at high speed. The Miladin that's left standing becomes responsible for leading the herd to their next field to graze.
Milmoth swarms descend on fields to graze at night, relying on their keen eyesight to remain aware of one another in the moonlight. Their milky-white wings reflect moonlight, drawing other Milmoth to feed in the same fields.
Milty are often put to work on farms to help manage Miltank herds. They are usually trusted to help gather milk from the herd, ferrying pails of the liquid back to the farm for storage.
Milty are often put to work on farms to help manage Miltank herds. They are usually trusted to bring food to the grazing Miltank, carrying bales of hay out to the field for the herd to graze on.
Milcie watch over Miltank herds protectively, floating above the grazing Pokémon as they keep watch for predators. Should danger approach, they use their rocky bodies as a battering ram to slam into the predator and keep the herd safe.
Milcie produce a sweet, strawberry-flavoured ice cream from their bodies. They are particularly popular Pokémon in Kalosian restaurants, where diners are often treated to a small performance before their ice cream is served.
Milzagoon are prolific grazers and can eat several times their own body weight in grass and shrubs. Farmers use herds of Milzagoon to clear fields, though they need to be carefully managed; otherwise, they only eat in a zigzagging pattern.
Swarms of Milple graze on fields of grass and are able to rapidly clear large areas of plant life if left unchecked. Though being considered a nuisance by farmers, they are easy prey for larger Pokémon and play an important role in the ecosystem.
Swarms of Milple graze on fields of grass and are able to rapidly clear large areas of plant life if left unchecked. Some farmers deliberately keep swarms of Milple and train them to only eat weeds and dead crops.
Milmur herds are incredibly loud and can be clearly heard from many miles away. Farmers seeking to keep Milmur often face pressure to keep them far from the closest settlement in an effort to reduce noise pollution.
Milpius's wings are a delicacy in parts of Hoenn, the faintly nutty flavour of them combining well with a wide variety of dishes. Herds of them are kept in broad pastures so that their constantly growing wings can be easily harvested.
Milobat colonies travel several miles each night in search of fresh fields to graze in. They are clumsy while on the ground and rely on the rest of their colony to keep watch for danger while they eat.
Milbat's fur is constantly soaked with a rich, nourishing milk. When drunk, their milk causes the person who drinks it to experience a gradual, positive shift in mood throughout the day.
Milbat herds make low, mooing cries to one another to communicate in the dark at night. Their rumbling calls let them echolocate and fly without colliding with one another.
Shoals of Milamo feed on kelp and seagrass, leaving a milky trail in the water behind them as they swim. Dairy companies keep shoals of them in tanks to skim their output to be processed into salty cheeses.
Milwag shoals graze on aquatic plant life in stagnant ponds and lakes. They prefer to swim to safety rather than fight when threatened, but are capable of inflicting nasty scratches with their horns when backed into a corner.
Mildash herds release a steady stream of steamed milk as they run. The milk settles on the fields they pass through and promotes new plant growth, resulting in lush meadows of flowers in the weeks after they pass by.
Mileel milk is extremely rich in fat and nutrients, enabling young Mileel to quickly build up layers of blubber. Their milk often forms the base of traditional meals in regions prone to harsh winters.
Blisnine are commonly employed within Pokémon daycares to protect any Pokémon eggs that are found. They happily ferry them around and, should danger strike, will race away to a safe location to ensure they do not come to harm.
Blistoise are able to control how permeable their shells are, letting them reduce the density of the shell surface enough to carry eggs within them. They maintain a perfect environment for incubation within their shell.
Rainaw are full of energy and love to race around with their Trainers, dragging them from town to town. Their footprints carry an electrical charge and can spark for hours after they've passed by, making wild Rainaw easy to track.
Raicune are the result of the machinations of Eusine, a legendary Pokémon fanatic who had been chasing the legendary beast Suicune. After first being sighted in Azalea Town, there have since been sightings across Johto and Kanto.

Rarely seen, Eninch is rumored to be the larval form of a mighty legendary Dragon. They burrow through volcanic rocks, leaving a honeycomb of glassy-sided tunnels from their extremely high-temperature bodies.
A recently sighted Pokémon that has come through time rifts in Paldea, Enrorus are thought to be from the distant past. Their bodies produce constant plumes of superheated smoke and steam that cling to them like clouds.
Enmoth nest around volcanoes, fluttering in swarms around the lava in the caldera. Vulcanologists use them as a guide on whether or not to expect an eruption, as larger swarms of Enmoth in one place correspond to increased volcanic activity.
Suidle live in only the cleanest waters and are typically found in and around mountain springs. They have a purifying effect on the bodies of water they live in, making them a popular addition to aquariums.

Larvipip are too heavy to be carried long distances by any but the strongest of storms, limiting their 'flights' to short glides from the top of dunes. Their arrival in a region is treated as an ill-omen as heralds of sandstorms.
An ambush predator in desert environments, Larvile spends almost all of its time buried in sand and burrowing through rock. It can usually only be spotted by its back spines, often leading to unwary Trainers being attacked for stepping on them.
A nomadic hunter, Larvirok lives a solitary life in arid environments. To help them find prey and to guard their territory, they move about on their hind legs, granting a better view of their surroundings than if they were quadrupedal.
Larvibra use their psychic powers to reinforce their spoons, enabling them to scoop mouthfuls of even the hardest rock to be eaten one mouthful at a time. Legends say that once a Larvibra has consumed an entire mountain it unlocks its full power.
Pupicargo feed on magma deep underground, building up volcanic gases within their shell as they do. They are capable of rapid bursts of movement, venting gas from their shell to propel themselves at high speed at a moment's notice.
Covered in hard stone spines, Pupidile uses these spines solely to defend itself in territorial conflicts with other members of its own species. Their roar can travel for miles through the wastelands in which they live.
Pupitales's tails are constantly covered in a fine coating of sand and dust. They can shake this coating free and send it billowing forward at a moment's notice, the particles catching on their mane of fire and igniting into a fireball.
The head of Pupirok is reinforced with alternating layers of bone and rock. When clashing with other Pokémon, they will use their head both as a shield and as a bludgeon.

An apex Pokémon, Tyrandile stalks its wasteland home in the certainty that there is nothing that can challenge it. Pokémon researchers trying to learn its behaviors need to remain wary as it aggressively chases down anything in its territory.
Lutar are capable of short bursts of flight by extending their wings wide and then ejecting compressed gas behind themselves. The pressure of the gas they release is powerful enough to tear holes in buildings if they are improperly trained.
Luqueen have great destructive potential, the movement of their wings creating avalanches in the mountains if they're not careful. They use this power to defend their homes when pushed, but prefer to isolate themselves.
Pikapie produce a sticky silk that they use to make nests and protect their eggs. The stickiness of the egg comes from the mild electrical charge it carries, the static attaching it to anything that gets close.
Pikalax constantly feast on Wacan berries, their steady diet dampening their electrical output and causing their power to build up within their bodies. Those that strike them directly can end up receiving painful paralytic shocks.
Pikachu have an uneven control over their electrical powers. They are able to produce shocks powerful enough to power a generator for several hours, but they have trouble regulating the strength of their shocks.
Pikabuff have rubbery bodies that can absorb large amounts of kinetic energy, bouncing around with carefree abandon. The energy they absorb is converted into static electricity and can cause painful shocks if they're touched.
Pikacargo carry gems upon their back that sparkle with electrical potential. The electrical charge within the gem gradually increases over time, causing them to glow brighter and brighter until they discharge the built-up power.

Pikajask wings whirr so quickly that they generate a lot of static electricity within their bodies. Their tails discharge the electricity periodically, Pikajask dipping quickly to the ground to touch their tails to the soil to do so.
The stronger the static charge contained within Pikatales, the more of their tails stand upright. At full charge, Pikatales can power an entire town for a full day with their electric shocks.
Burrows around electrical pylons are often the result of Pikacada populations. They are drawn to the electrical field generated by grounding wires and, if left unattended, will try to feed on them.
Pikabarel are drawn to hydroelectric power plants, often setting up their dams close to the turbines. Their presence was once thought of as a nuisance until engineers began taming them and using them to help provide power.

Despite being a buoyant floatation aid, the gigantic ball at the end of the tails of Azusaur are extremely bulky and cumbersome. Azusaur carry the ball on their back in an effort to avoid getting caught on roots and vines.
Azuran are easily spooked and will slap their inflated tail against the ground to make a loud noise if startled. Nearby Azuran will copy the noise, banding together to try and scare off whatever startled them from their home.
Azubat are completely blind and roost in underground caves, using their echolocation to navigate. They often struggle to differentiate water from cave floors, so they have large tail floats to prevent sinking if they crash.
Azuturne enjoy following groups of Trainers on their adventures, following along and crying out warnings when they believe there's danger. Their usefulness as a lookout is questionable as any unexpected noise or shadow is enough to spook them.
Azuwrath are easily disheartened if they ever fail to achieve their goals. Trainers are advised to ensure they receive emotional support and are reassured of their strength to help them bounce back when they're feeling low.
Azudrio are shy Pokémon, often preferring to back away from uncertain situations rather than face them. If even one of their three heads becomes frightened, they will turn to flee, running for the closest lake to dive into.
