It can't see, so it listens for the echo of its own laughter to navigate. This tends to unsettle people who happen upon caves full of Mr. obat.
Jynrill considers itself to be the most beautiful Pokémon, so it lies atop rocks in the ocean to catch the attention of sailors. It has yet to be successful.
It flies high in the sky, practicing new and exciting belly dances all day. If bad weather gets in the way of its performance, Jynquaza enters a rage state that lasts until it clears up.
Jynrai appears in people's dreams as a beautiful maiden asking for shelter. If the dreamer falls for this ruse, it drains their life force until they wake up.
Though it looks fierce, this jungle-dwelling Pokémon only eats fruits and loves helping others. Its pleasant personality makes it no less dangerous in battle, however.
Nothing makes Pinink happier than the shiny pearl on its head. It has a tendency to hold onto the pearl too tightly, so it has to replace it regularly.
Mewsis is still developing, using its psychic power to maintain the amniotic bubble it sleeps in. Even like this, it boasts incredible mental abilities.
When threatened, Cyndanat's entire body bursts into flames. If the fire doesn't scare off its foe, the smell of burning fur certainly will.
One of the eggs that makes up Giracute is rotten and cracked. The others love and support it regardless.
The 'face' on its tail is thought to be a pattern to ward off predators. This does not explain why it sometimes blinks.

Paramer leaves a trail of ooze that becomes a breeding ground for various rare species of mushrooms. For this reason, mycologists are trying to introduce it into damaged ecosystems.

Its brain takes up most of the space in its body as an evolutionary adaptation to offset its constant migraines. It takes longer for Psysola to think due to the increased space between its neurons.
Rumor has it that Psyswine's head is so large because it's full of big ideas. It's actually caused by an overactive gland.
