Heartgold / Soulsilver / X / Omega-rubyThe result of repeated headbutts is a skull grown thick and hard. However, its brain has shrunk in size compared with Cranidos’s.
SunRecords exist of a revived fossil that evolved into Rampardos. It proceeded to escape and then destroy a skyscraper with a headbutt.
MoonIn ancient times, people would dig up fossils of this Pokémon and use its skull, which is harder than steel, to make helmets.
Ultra-sunThis ancient Pokémon used headbutts skillfully. Its brain was really small, so some theories suggest that its stupidity led to its extinction.
Ultra-moonVery little is known about its biology. Can knock down massive trees by smashing its beautiful, pearl-like crown against them.
Legends-arceusShieldon
A Pokémon that lived in jungles around 100 million years ago. Its facial hide is extremely hard.
DiamondIt habitually polishes its face by rubbing it against tree trunks. It is weak to attacks from behind.
Pearl / X / Omega-rubyIt is outstandingly armored. As a result, it can eat grass and berries without having to fight.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2It was generated from a fossil dug out of a layer of clay that was older than anyone knows. It has a sturdy face.
Heartgold / Soulsilver / Y / Alpha-sapphireMany fossils of this Pokémon have been found, but almost none have shown signs of damage to the face.
SunThis Pokémon lived in primeval jungles. Few enemies would have been willing to square off against its heavily armored face, so it’s thought.
MoonA mild-mannered, herbivorous Pokémon, it used its face to dig up tree roots to eat. The skin on its face was plenty tough.
Ultra-sunAlthough its fossils can be found in layers of primeval rock, nothing but its face has ever been discovered.
Ultra-moonMuch remains unknown about this Pokémon, as few have ever seen it. However, we know that it is calm and dislikes conflict, and it enjoys polishing its face against trees and rocks.
Legends-arceusBastiodon
Any frontal attack is repulsed. It is a docile Pokémon that feeds on grass and berries.
Diamond / Y / Alpha-sapphireWhen attacked, they form a wall with their shieldlike faces to protect their young.
PearlWhen they lined up side by side, no foe could break through. They shielded their young in that way.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyWhen attacked, they form a wall. Their rock-hard faces serve to protect them from the attacks.
Heartgold / SoulsilverWhile it can guard against any sort of attack from the front, it is left without recourse when attacked from behind.
SunIt lived in the same environments as Rampardos. Their fossils have been found together— seemingly from after they’d fought to the finish.
MoonThe bones of its face are huge and hard, so they were mistaken for its spine until after this Pokémon was successfully restored.
Ultra-sunThis Pokémon is from roughly 100 million years ago. Its terrifyingly tough face is harder than steel.
Ultra-moonIts face is sturdy—as strong as diamond—and this hardness offers a very stable defense. Much about this species is still unknown, such as its natural habitat.
Legends-arceusBurmy
To shelter itself from cold, wintry winds, it covers itself with a cloak made of twigs and leaves.
Diamond / X / Omega-rubyIf its cloak is broken in battle, it quickly remakes the cloak with materials nearby.
Pearl / Y / Alpha-sapphireEven if it is born where there are no cocooning materials, it somehow always ends up with a cloak.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2It covers itself with a cloak to shelter from the cold. When it’s hot, its cloak is thinner.
Heartgold / SoulsilverIf its cloak is even slightly damaged, Burmy will immediately repair it with whatever is close at hand. The Pokémon within the cloak is scrawny and vulnerable to the cold.
Legends-arceusWormadam
When BURMY evolved, its cloak became a part of this Pokémon’s body. The cloak is never shed.
DiamondIts appearance changes depending on where it evolved. The materials on hand become a part of its body.
Pearl / X / Omega-rubyWhen evolving, its body takes in surrounding materials. As a result, there are many body variations.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2It is said that a WORMADAM that evolves on a cold day will have a thicker cloak.
Heartgold / SoulsilverWhen Burmy evolved, its cloak became a part of this Pokémon’s body. The cloak is never shed.
Y / Alpha-sapphireMothim
It loves the honey of flowers and steals honey collected by COMBEE.
DiamondIt does not keep a nest. It flies over fields and mountains in constant search of floral honey.
PearlWhile it loves floral honey, it won’t gather any itself. Instead, it plots to steal some from COMBEE.
PlatinumIt flutters around at night and steals honey from the COMBEE hive.
Heartgold / SoulsilverWhile it loves floral honey, it won’t gather any itself. Instead, it plots to steal some from Combee.
Black / White / Black-2 / White-2It loves the honey of flowers and steals honey collected by Combee.
X / Omega-rubyIt flutters around at night and steals honey from the Combee hive.
Y / Alpha-sapphireScatters steel-colored scales as it flaps its wings. Despite being observed feeding primarily on the nectar of flowers, Mothim is not often seen around flower gardens.
Legends-arceusCombee
A Pokémon formed by three others. It busily carries sweet floral honey to VESPIQUEN.
DiamondIt collects and delivers honey to its colony. At night, they cluster to form a beehive and sleep.
Pearl / Y / Alpha-sapphireThe trio is together from birth. It constantly gathers honey from flowers to please VESPIQUEN.
PlatinumAt night, COMBEE sleep in a group of about a thousand, packed closely together in a lump.
Heartgold / SoulsilverThe trio is together from birth. It constantly gathers honey from flowers to please Vespiquen.
Black / White / X / Omega-rubyThis Pokémon is a set of three. When they sleep, they gather up and form a giant hive of 100 Combee.
Black-2 / White-2The members of the trio spend all their time together. Each one has a slightly different taste in nectar.
SwordIt ceaselessly gathers nectar from sunrise to sundown, all for the sake of Vespiquen and the swarm.
ShieldThey swear fealty to a queen Pokémon and work diligently to gather nectar. Each swarm produces a different flavor of honey.
Legends-arceusVespiquen
Its abdomen is a honeycomb for grubs. It raises its grubs on honey collected by COMBEE.
DiamondWhen endangered, grubs from its six-cell honeycomb strike back. There is only one in a colony.
PearlIt releases various pheromones to make the grubs in its body do its bidding while fighting foes.
Platinum / Black / WhiteIt raises grubs in the holes in its body. It secretes pheromones to control COMBEE.
Heartgold / SoulsilverIt houses its colony in cells in its body and releases various pheromones to make those grubs do its bidding.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyIts abdomen is a honeycomb for grubs. It raises its grubs on honey collected by Combee.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt skillfully commands its grubs in battles with its enemies. The grubs are willing to risk their lives to defend Vespiquen.
SwordVespiquen that give off more pheromones have larger swarms of Combee attendants.
ShieldCommands its subjects to build its hive. It will dispatch any interlopers who dare sneak into its nest and use them as nourishment for itself.
Legends-arceusPachirisu
It makes fur balls that crackle with static electricity. It stores them with berries in tree holes.
Diamond / X / Omega-rubyIt makes electricity with pouches in its cheeks and shoots charges from its tail. It lives atop trees.
PearlA pair may be seen rubbing their cheek pouches together in an effort to share stored electricity.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt’s one of the kinds of Pokémon with electric cheek pouches. It shoots charges from its tail.
Heartgold / SoulsilverA species related to the Pikachu line. Though Pachirisu is a calm Pokémon, it still presents a danger should one touch its electrified tail or cheeks.
Legends-arceusBuizel
It has a flotation sac that is like an inflatable collar. It floats on water with its head out.
DiamondIt swims by rotating its two tails like a screw. When it dives, its flotation sac collapses.
Pearl / X / Omega-rubyIt spins its two tails like a screw to propel itself through water. The tails also slice clinging seaweed.
Platinum / Black / WhiteIt inflates its flotation sac, keeping its face above water in order to watch for prey movement.
Heartgold / SoulsilverIt inflates the flotation sac around its neck and pokes its head out of the water to see what is going on.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt moves freely in the water by spinning its forked tail for propulsion. The resemblance to the screw of a steamboat is coincidental.
Legends-arceusFloatzel
It floats using its well-developed flotation sac. It assists in the rescues of drowning people.
Diamond / X / Omega-rubyIts flotation sac developed as a result of pursuing aquatic prey. It can double as a rubber raft.
Pearl / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt is a common sight around fishing ports. It is known to rescue people and carry off prey.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2With its flotation sac inflated, it can carry people on its back. It deflates the sac before it dives.
Heartgold / SoulsilverHas a long, rather splendid flotation sac, which prevents Floatzel from drowning even in stormy seas. One might glimpse this species around fishing hamlets from time to time.
Legends-arceusCherubi
The small ball holds the nutrients needed for evolution. Apparently, it is very sweet and tasty.
DiamondSunlight colors it red. When the small ball is drained of nutrients, it shrivels to herald evolution.
Pearl / X / Omega-rubyThe small ball is not only filled with nutrients, it is also tasty. STARLY try to peck it off.
PlatinumIt evolves by sucking the energy out of the small ball where it had been storing nutrients.
Heartgold / Soulsilver / Y / Alpha-sapphireThe small ball is not only filled with nutrients, it is also tasty. Starly try to peck it off.
Black / White / Black-2 / White-2It nimbly dashes about to avoid getting pecked by bird Pokémon that would love to make off with its small, nutrient-rich storage ball.
SwordThe deeper a Cherubi’s red, the more nutrients it has stockpiled in its body. And the sweeter and tastier its small ball!
ShieldOnce the fruit growing alongside the main body is large and plump, Cherubi will use the nutrients within to evolve. The fruit then detaches, becoming nourishment for other creatures.
Legends-arceusCherrim
It blooms during times of strong sunlight. It tries to make up for everything it endured as a bud.
DiamondIt is docile as a bud, but turns cheerful when it blooms. It folds back into a bud if sunlight wanes.
PearlIf it senses strong sunlight, it opens its folded petals to absorb the sun’s rays with its whole body.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireDuring times of strong sunlight, its bud blooms, its petals open fully, and it becomes very active.
Heartgold / Soulsilver / X / Omega-rubyAs a bud, it barely moves. It sits still, placidly waiting for sunlight to appear.
SwordIts folded petals are pretty tough. Bird Pokémon can peck at them all they want, and Cherrim won’t be bothered at all.
ShieldMotionless, save for the occasional quiver. A rich array of Pokémon can be found gathered around it, drawn by the scent exuded from Cherrim's folded petals.
Legends-arceusShellos
Its colors and shapes differ from region to region. In the Sinnoh region, two types are confirmed.
DiamondIt lives along bodies of water. Its body shape has changed to suit its habitat.
PearlBeware of pushing strongly on its squishy body, as it makes a mysterious purple fluid ooze out.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyIts shape and coloration vary, depending on its habitat.
Heartgold / Soulsilver / Y / Alpha-sapphireFor the most part, it makes its home along the seashore. Its color and form differ according to its habitat and the quality of its food.
SunPurple mucus sticks to the hands of anyone who touches it. Take care, as the substance is troublesome to wash off.
MoonWhile they normally live in the sea, they can function on land, too, until their skin dries out.
Ultra-sunWhen it senses danger, a purple liquid oozes out of it. The liquid is thought to be something like greasy sweat.
Ultra-moonThis Pokémon’s habitat shapes its physique. According to some theories, life in warm ocean waters causes this variation to develop.
SwordSubjecting this Pokémon to a strong force causes it to secrete a strange purple fluid. Though harmless, the fluid is awfully sticky.
ShieldFound in abundance on seashores bordering warm waters. Shellos are unexpectedly friendly and will crawl toward any person they see. Take care not to get coated in mucus!
Legends-arceusGastrodon
It has a pliable body without any bones. If any part of its body is torn off, it grows right back.
DiamondIt apparently had a huge shell for protection in ancient times. It lives in shallow tidal pools.
Pearl / Y / Alpha-sapphireLong ago, its entire back was shielded with a sturdy shell. There are traces of it left in its cells.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2When its natural enemy attacks, it oozes purple fluid and escapes.
Heartgold / Soulsilver / X / Omega-rubyIt has strong regenerative capabilities. Even if parts of it are bitten off by fish Pokémon, it will return to normal within a few hours.
SunPlankton, invisible to the naked eye, is its main food source. It comes onto the land periodically, but the reason for this is not known.
MoonLong ago, it had a shell on its back. There’s now a vestigial plate on its back that’s hard but thin.
Ultra-sunTheir shape and color change, depending on their environment and diet. There are many of them at beaches where the waves are calm.
Ultra-moonIts search for food sometimes leads it onto land, where it leaves behind a sticky trail of slime as it passes through.
SwordThe softness of its body helps disperse the force of impacts, so although its body is uncommonly squishy, it’s also surprisingly resilient.
ShieldEats beach sand for nourishment. Should one Gastrodon encounter another of a different color, a fierce battle will inevitably ensue.
Legends-arceusAmbipom
To eat, it deftly shucks nuts with its two tails. It rarely uses its arms now.
Diamond / Y / Alpha-sapphireThey work in large colonies and make rings by linking their tails, apparently in friendship.
Pearl / X / Omega-rubySplit into two, the tails are so adept at handling and doing things, AMBIPOM rarely uses its hands.
PlatinumThey live on large trees. They are said to communicate by connecting their tails to those of others.
HeartgoldIt is very difficult to dodge the consecutive strikes of its two tails.
SoulsilverSplit into two, the tails are so adept at handling and doing things, Ambipom rarely uses its hands.
Black / White / Black-2 / White-2In their search for comfortable trees, they get into territorial disputes with groups of Passimian. They win about half the time.
Ultra-sunIt uses its tails for everything. If it wraps both of its tails around you and gives you a squeeze, that’s proof it really likes you.
Ultra-moonTo affirm their kinship, members of this species will form a ring by linking their newly doubled tails together. On rare occasions, humans have been accepted into such rings.
Legends-arceusDrifloon
A Pokémon formed by the spirits of people and Pokémon. It loves damp, humid seasons.
Diamond / X / Omega-rubyIt tugs on the hands of children to steal them away. However, it gets pulled around instead.
PearlBecause of the way it floats aimlessly, an old folktale calls it a “Signpost for Wandering Spirits.”
Platinum / Black / WhiteIt is whispered that any child who mistakes DRIFLOON for a balloon and holds on to it could wind up missing.
Heartgold / SoulsilverThese Pokémon are called the “Signpost for Wandering Spirits.” Children holding them sometimes vanish.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireStories go that it grabs the hands of small children and drags them away to the afterlife. It dislikes heavy children.
SunIf for some reason its body bursts, its soul spills out with a screaming sound.
MoonIts round body is stuffed with souls and expands each time it leads someone away.
Ultra-sunWandering souls gathered together to form this Pokémon. When trying to make friends with children, Drifloon grabs them by the hand.
Ultra-moonPerhaps seeking company, it approaches children. However, it often quickly runs away again when the children play too roughly with it.
SwordThe gathering of many souls gave rise to this Pokémon. During humid seasons, they seem to appear in abundance.
ShieldSaid to lure away young children and carry them off to the afterlife. Some whisper that Drifloon are formed of reincarnated human souls, but these rumors are as yet unconfirmed.
Legends-arceusDrifblim
At dusk, swarms of them are carried aloft on winds. When noticed, they suddenly vanish.
Black / Platinum / WhiteIt’s drowzy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go.
DiamondIt carries people and Pokémon when it flies. But since it only drifts, it can end up anywhere.
Pearl / X / Omega-rubyIt can generate and release gas within its body. That’s how it can control the altitude of its drift.
Heartgold / SoulsilverThey carry people and Pokémon, but the wind can catch them, so there can’t be a fixed destination.
Black-2 / White-2It’s drowsy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go.
Y / Alpha-sapphireThere was once an incident in which a man took a trip riding a Drifblim, only to go missing.
SunEven while under careful observation, large flocks of Drifblim flying at dusk will inexplicably disappear from view.
MoonThere’s a rumor that if you catch a Drifblim floating on the wind at dusk, you’ll be carried away to the afterlife.
Ultra-sunThe raw material for the gas inside its body is souls. When its body starts to deflate, it’s thought to carry away people and Pokémon.
Ultra-moonSome say this Pokémon is a collection of souls burdened with regrets, silently drifting through the dusk.
SwordIt grabs people and Pokémon and carries them off somewhere. Where do they go? Nobody knows.
ShieldIt drifts along at dusk, perfectly silent. Its transient, melancholy aspect touches some people deeply—every so often, one will come upon a song or poem devoted to Drifblim.
Legends-arceusBuneary
It slams foes by sharply uncoiling its rolled ears. It stings enough to make a grown-up cry in pain.
DiamondWhen it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur.
Pearl / Y / Alpha-sapphireIts ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.
Platinum / Black / White / X / Omega-rubyYou can tell how it feels by the way it rolls its ears. When it’s scared, both ears are rolled up.
Heartgold / SoulsilverBy extending its rolled-up ears and striking the ground, it can bound so high it surprises itself.
Black-2 / White-2Its arms and legs are weak, but when it rolls its ears up tight and then unleashes them with its full force, it can smash boulders to dust.
Ultra-sunThe reason it keeps one ear rolled up is so it can launch a swift counterattack if it’s attacked by an enemy.
Ultra-moonIf both of Buneary’s ears are rolled up, something is wrong with its body or mind. It’s a sure sign the Pokémon is in need of care.
SwordBuneary can attack by rolling up their ears and then striking with the force created by unrolling them. This attack becomes stronger with training.
ShieldMy hypothesis as to why Buneary rolls up its ears is that its hearing is far too keen. I surmise that the Pokémon protects its hearing by limiting the sound that may enter its ears.
Legends-arceusLopunny
An extremely cautious Pokémon. It cloaks its body with its fluffy ear fur when it senses danger.
DiamondIt is very conscious of its looks and never fails to groom its ears. It runs with sprightly jumps.
PearlThe ears appear to be delicate. If they are touched roughly, it kicks with its graceful legs.
Platinum / Black / White / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt sheds its fur twice a year. Its winter fur is soft and fluffy.
Heartgold / SoulsilverExtremely cautious, it quickly bounds off when it senses danger.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyLopunny regrows its coat twice a year. Mufflers and hats made from its fur are really warm.
Ultra-sunIt’s notably wary and has a dislike of fighting, but at the same time, it can deliver powerful kicks with its lithe legs.
Ultra-moonLopunny is constantly monitoring its surroundings. If danger approaches, this Pokémon responds with superdestructive kicks.
SwordOnce hot seasons are over, Lopunny’s coat will be replaced with fur that holds a lot of insulating air in preparation for colder weather.
ShieldIts fur is warm and yet remarkably light. This Pokémon kicks as though it were a master of karate, driving back its opponents with ease.
Legends-arceusMismagius
Its cries sound like incantations. Those hearing it are tormented by headaches and hallucinations.
DiamondIt chants incantations. While they usually torment targets, some chants bring happiness.
Pearl / X / Omega-rubyIts cry sounds like an incantation. It is said the cry may rarely be imbued with happiness-giving power.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2Its cries sound like incantations to torment the foe. It appears where you least expect it.
Heartgold / Soulsilver / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt appears as if from nowhere—muttering incantations, placing curses, and giving people terrifying visions.
SunMismagius have been known to cast spells to make people fall in love, so some people search for this Pokémon as if their life depended on it.
MoonFeared for its wrath and the curses it spreads, this Pokémon will also, on a whim, cast spells that help people.
Ultra-sunIts muttered curses can cause awful headaches or terrifying visions that torment others.
Ultra-moonThe incantations Mismagius chants can ward against misfortune, so a custom exists of inviting it into one's home. Incur the Pokémon's displeasure, however, and disaster will surely ensue.
Legends-arceusHonchkrow
Becoming active at night, it is known to swarm with numerous MURKROW in tow.
DiamondIt makes its MURKROW cronies bring it food. It idles its time away, grooming itself in its nest.
PearlIf one utters a deep cry, many MURKROW gather quickly. For this, it is called “Summoner of Night.”
PlatinumIt is merciless by nature. It is said that it never forgives the mistakes of its MURKROW followers.
Heartgold / SoulsilverIf one utters a deep cry, many Murkrow gather quickly. For this, it is called “Summoner of Night.”
Black / White / Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyBecoming active at night, it is known to swarm with numerous Murkrow in tow.
Y / Alpha-sapphireA single cry from this nocturnal Pokémon, and more than a hundred of its Murkrow cronies will assemble.
SunIf its Murkrow cronies fail to catch food for it, or if it feels they have betrayed it, it will hunt them down wherever they are and punish them.
MoonIt will absolutely not forgive failure from or betrayal by its goons. It has no choice in this if it wants to maintain the order of the flock.
Ultra-sunIts goons take care of most of the fighting for it. The only time it dirties its own hands is in delivering a final blow to finish off an opponent.
Ultra-moonOne cry from this Pokémon, and a murder of Murkrow come flying. At such times, one would think the curtain of night had fallen, plunging the world into jet-black darkness.
Legends-arceusGlameow
It claws if displeased and purrs when affectionate. Its fickleness is very popular among some.
Diamond / X / Omega-rubyWith its sharp glare, it puts foes in a mild hypnotic state. It is a very fickle Pokémon.
PearlIt hides its spiteful tendency of hooking its claws into the nose of its Trainer if it isn’t fed.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2When it’s happy, GLAMEOW demonstrates beautiful movements of its tail, like a dancing ribbon.
Heartgold / SoulsilverWhen it’s happy, Glameow demonstrates beautiful movements of its tail, like a dancing ribbon.
Y / Alpha-sapphireBewitches humans with its helical tail and piercing gaze. Its hidden claws are quite sharp as well, making this Pokémon an exceedingly tricky opponent if antagonized.
Legends-arceusPurugly
It is a brazen brute that barges its way into another Pokémon’s nest and claims it as its own.
DiamondTo make itself appear intimidatingly beefy, it tightly cinches its waist with its twin tails.
Pearl / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt binds its body with its tails to make itself look bigger. If it locks eyes, it will glare ceaselessly.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2It would claim another Pokémon’s nest as its own if it finds a nest sufficiently comfortable.
Heartgold / Soulsilver / X / Omega-rubyThough impudent and difficult to tame, Purugly enjoys great popularity due to its fur, the beauty of which surpasses even velveteen.
Legends-arceusChingling
It emits cries by agitating an orb at the back of its throat. It moves with flouncing hops.
DiamondEach time it hops, it makes a ringing sound. It deafens foes by emitting high-frequency cries.
Pearl / X / Omega-rubyThere is an orb inside its mouth. When it hops, the orb bounces all over and makes a ringing sound.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt emits high-frequency cries that people can’t hear. Once it starts, it can cry for an awfully long time.
Heartgold / SoulsilverThis Pokémon gave me an excruciating headache when it seemingly cried out without making a sound. Perhaps there are some sounds that the human ear is simply incapable of hearing.
Legends-arceusStunky
It protects itself by spraying a noxious fluid from its rear. The stench lingers for 24 hours.
Diamond / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt sprays a nose-curling, stinky fluid from its rear to repel attackers.
PearlIt sprays a foul fluid from its rear. Its stench spreads over a mile radius, driving Pokémon away.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyThe foul fluid from its rear is so revolting that it can make people feel queasy up to a mile and a quarter away.
Heartgold / SoulsilverFrom its rear, it sprays a foul-smelling liquid at opponents. It aims for their faces, and it can hit them from over 16 feet away.
SwordIf it lifts its tail and points its rear at you, beware. It’s about to spray you with a fluid stinky enough to make you faint.
ShieldThe poison that gushes from its aft end is accompanied by an utterly evil-smelling odor with such potency that one whiff can induce memory loss.
Legends-arceusSkuntank
It sprays a vile-smelling fluid from the tip of its tail to attack. Its range is over 160 feet.
Diamond / X / Omega-rubyIt sprays a stinky fluid from its tail. The fluid smells worse the longer it is allowed to fester.
Pearl / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt attacks by spraying a horribly smelly fluid from the tip of its tail. Attacks from above confound it.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2It attacks by spraying a repugnant fluid from its tail, but the stench dulls after a few squirts.
Heartgold / SoulsilverIn its belly, it reserves stinky fluid that it shoots from its tail during battle. As this Pokémon’s diet varies, so does the stench of its fluid.
SwordIt digs holes in the ground to make its nest. The stench of the fluid it lets fly from the tip of its tail is extremely potent.
ShieldSprays a poisonous fluid to take down prey. Sometimes, unable to stomach the stench of its own fluid, it leaves the bested prey uneaten.
Legends-arceusBronzor
Implements shaped like it were discovered in ancient tombs. It is unknown if they are related.
Diamond / Y / Alpha-sapphireX-ray photos were taken to check its body structure. Nothing appeared, however.
PearlThere are researchers who believe this Pokémon reflected like a mirror in the distant past.
Platinum / Black / WhiteAncient people believed that the pattern on BRONZOR’s back contained a mysterious power.
Heartgold / SoulsilverThey are found in ancient tombs. The patterns on their backs are said to be imbued with mysterious power.
Black-2 / White-2Ancient people believed that the pattern on Bronzor’s back contained a mysterious power.
X / Omega-rubyIt appears in ancient ruins. The pattern on its body doesn’t come from any culture in the Galar region, so it remains shrouded in mystery.
SwordPolishing Bronzor to a shine makes its surface reflect the truth, according to common lore. Be that as it may, Bronzor hates being polished.
ShieldFloats using a mysterious energy. The pattern engraved upon its back is held as sacred and can sometimes be found in imagery from ancient cemeteries and other such timeworn places.
Legends-arceusBronzong
One caused a news sensation when it was dug up at a construction site after a 2,000-year sleep.
DiamondIt can summon rain clouds. People long ago revered it as the bringer of plentiful harvests.
PearlIt brought rains by opening portals to another world. It was revered as a bringer of plentiful harvests.

Heartgold / SoulsilverIn ages past, this Pokémon was revered as a bringer of rain. It was found buried in the ground.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyAncient people believed that petitioning Bronzong for rain was the way to make crops grow.
Y / Alpha-sapphireSome believe it to be a deity that summons rain clouds. When angered, it lets out a warning cry that rings out like the tolling of a bell.
SwordMany scientists suspect that this Pokémon originated outside the Galar region, based on the patterns on its body.
ShieldSome believe that its bell-like cry opens holes to another world. It has been revered as a deity since ancient times.
Legends-arceusBonsly
It looks as if it is always crying. It is actually adjusting its body’s fluid levels by eliminating excess.
DiamondIt prefers arid environments. It leaks water from its eyes to adjust its body’s fluid levels.
Pearl / X / Omega-rubyIt prefers an arid atmosphere. It leaks water that looks like tears when adjusting its moisture level.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIn order to adjust the level of fluids in its body, it exudes water from its eyes. This makes it appear to be crying.
Heartgold / SoulsilverIt does not deal well with water, so it lives in dry locales. Since its surroundings tend to lack greenery, it stands out noticeably.
SunFrom its eyes, it can expel excess moisture from its body. This liquid is similar in composition to human sweat.
MoonIt discharges moisture from its eyes, making it look like it’s crying—apparently an effective way of getting enemies to let down their guard.
Ultra-sunIf its body gets too damp, it will die. So, in a process reminiscent of sweating, its eyes expel moisture.
Ultra-moonIt expels both sweat and tears from its eyes. The sweat is a little salty, while the tears have a slight bitterness.
SwordThis Pokémon lives in dry, rocky areas. As its green spheres dry out, their dull luster increases.
ShieldIts tears elicit sympathy from those who see them, but do not be deceived! This expulsion of body water is merely a physiological mechanism for keeping itself in good health.
Legends-arceusMime Jr
It habitually mimics foes. Once mimicked, the foe cannot take its eyes off this Pokémon.
Diamond / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt likes places where people gather. It mimics foes to confuse them, then makes its getaway.
PearlIt mimics the expressions and motions of those it sees to understand the feelings of others.
Platinum / Black / White / Black-2 / White-2In an attempt to confuse its enemy, it mimics the enemy’s movements. Then it wastes no time in making itself scarce!
Heartgold / Soulsilver / X / Omega-rubyIt does its absolute best to mimic the movements and expressions of its opponents, but it’s still not very good at it.
Ultra-sunWhen this gifted mimic surprises an opponent, Mime Jr. feels so happy that it ends up forgetting it was imitating something.
Ultra-moonIt mimics everyone it sees, but it puts extra effort into copying the graceful dance steps of Mr. Rime as practice.
SwordIt looks for a Mr. Rime that’s a good dancer and carefully copies the Mr. Rime’s steps like an apprentice.
ShieldKnown to turn up in bustling marketplaces now and again. It mimics people much as a child would, then watches how they react, eyes sparkling.
Legends-arceusHappiny
It loves round white things. It carries an egg-shaped rock in imitation of CHANSEY.
DiamondIt carries a round, egg-shaped rock in its belly pouch and gives the rock to its friends.
Pearl / X / Omega-rubyIt likes to carry around a small rock. It may wander around others’ feet and cause them to stumble.

Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireIts cute act is a ruse. When victims let down their guard, they find their items taken. It attacks with sharp claws.
White / X / Omega-rubyTheir cute act is a ruse. They trick people and steal their valuables just to see the looks on their faces.

Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphirePanpour
The water stored inside the tuft on its head is full of nutrients. Plants that receive its water grow large.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt does not thrive in dry environments. It keeps itself damp by shooting water stored in its head tuft from its tail.

Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireWhen dark mists emanate from its body, don’t get too near. If you do, your nightmares will become reality.
SwordIt drowses and dreams all the time. It’s best to leave it be if it’s just woken up, as it’s a terrible grump when freshly roused from sleep.
ShieldPidove
Each follows its Trainer’s orders as best it can, but they sometimes fail to understand complicated commands.
BlackThese Pokémon live in cities. They are accustomed to people. Flocks often gather in parks and plazas.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireThis very forgetful Pokémon will wait for a new order from its Trainer even though it already has one.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyWhere people go, these Pokémon follow. If you’re scattering food for them, be careful— several hundred of them can gather at once.
SwordIt’s forgetful and not very bright, but many Trainers love it anyway for its friendliness and sincerity.
ShieldTranquill
It can return to its Trainer’s location regardless of the distance separating them.
BlackMany people believe that, deep in the forest where Tranquill live, there is a peaceful place where there is no war.

Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyRoggenrola
Its ear is hexagonal in shape. Compressed underground, its body is as hard as steel.
Black / X / Omega-rubyThey were discovered a hundred years ago in an earthquake fissure. Inside each one is an energy core.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireThe hexagonal-shaped hole is its ear. It has a tendency to walk in the direction the sound is coming from.
Black-2 / White-2Born deep within the ground, it compares itself with similar species, such as Geodude and Carbink, to settle which has the hardest body.
SunThe hexagonal cavity is its ear. It walks in the direction of sounds it hears, but if the sounds cease, it panics and topples over.
MoonThe hexagonal hole is its ear. Deep in that ear is an energy core, so if you stick your hand in there, Roggenrola will be very angry!
Ultra-sunIt was found in a fissure in a layer of exposed rock. The material that makes up its body is dirt from several hundred years ago.
Ultra-moonIt’s as hard as steel, but apparently a long soak in water will cause it to soften a bit.
SwordWhen it detects a noise, it starts to move. The energy core inside it makes this Pokémon slightly warm to the touch.
ShieldBoldore
When it overflows with power, the orange crystal on its body glows. It looks for underground water in caves.
BlackBecause its energy was too great to be contained, the energy leaked and formed orange crystals.
White / X / Omega-rubyWhen it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIts orange crystal is a mass of energy. Just one crystal fragment would provide enough fuel for a hundred dump trucks.
SunIt explores caves in search of underground water. It’s not comfortable around water, so this Pokémon takes great care in lapping it up.
MoonThe energy overflowing from its body has turned into orange crystals that are hard enough to smash diamonds.
Ultra-sunIts orange crystals are lumps of powerful energy. They’re valuable, so Boldore is sometimes targeted for them.
Ultra-moonIf you see its orange crystals start to glow, be wary. It’s about to fire off bursts of energy.
SwordIt relies on sound in order to monitor what’s in its vicinity. When angered, it will attack without ever changing the direction it’s facing.
ShieldGigalith
Compressing the energy from its internal core lets it fire off an attack capable of blowing away a mountain.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireThe solar energy absorbed by its body’s orange crystals is magnified internally and fired from its mouth.
WhiteThe solar rays it absorbs are processed in its energy core and fired as a ball of light.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyThe blasts of energy it makes from sunbeams have terrifying power. However, it’s not able to fire its blasts at night or on rainy days.
SunKnown for its hefty horsepower, this Pokémon is a popular partner for construction workers.
MoonWhen it fires off energy with all its might, the power creates countless fissures on its body.
Ultra-sunIt absorbs rays of sunlight and shoots out energy. It’s usually lurking deep beneath the surface.
Ultra-moonThis hardy Pokémon can often be found on construction sites and in mines, working alongside people and Copperajah.
SwordAlthough its energy blasts can blow away a dump truck, they have a limitation— they can only be fired when the sun is out.
ShieldWoobat
Its habitat is dark forests and caves. It emits ultrasonic waves from its nose to learn about its surroundings.
Black / X / Omega-rubySuction from its nostrils enables it to stick to cave walls during sleep. It leaves a heart-shaped mark behind.
WhiteThe heart-shaped mark left on a body after a Woobat has been attached to it is said to bring good fortune.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireWhile inside a cave, if you look up and see lots of heart-shaped marks lining the walls, it’s evidence that Woobat live there.
SwordIt emits ultrasonic waves as it flutters about, searching for its prey—bug Pokémon.
ShieldSwoobat
It emits sound waves of various frequencies from its nose, including some powerful enough to destroy rocks.
BlackAnyone who comes into contact with the ultrasonic waves emitted by a courting male experiences a positive mood shift.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt shakes its tail vigorously when it emits ultrasonic waves strong enough to reduce concrete to rubble.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyEmitting powerful sound waves tires it out. Afterward, it won’t be able to fly for a little while.
SwordThe auspicious shape of this Pokémon’s nose apparently led some regions to consider Swoobat a symbol of good luck.
ShieldDrilbur
It can dig through the ground at a speed of 30 mph. It could give a car running aboveground a good race.
BlackIt makes its way swiftly through the soil by putting both claws together and rotating at high speed.
White / X / Omega-rubyBy spinning its body, it can dig straight through the ground at a speed of 30 mph.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt brings its claws together and whirls around at high speed before rushing toward its prey.
SwordIt’s a digger, using its claws to burrow through the ground. It causes damage to vegetable crops, so many farmers have little love for it.
ShieldExcadrill
It can help in tunnel construction. Its drill has evolved into steel strong enough to bore through iron plates.
Black / X / Omega-rubyMore than 300 feet below the surface, they build mazelike nests. Their activity can be destructive to subway tunnels.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireForming a drill with its steel claws and head, it can bore through a steel plate, no matter how thick it is.
Black-2 / White-2It’s not uncommon for tunnels that appear to have formed naturally to actually be a result of Excadrill’s rampant digging.
SwordKnown as the Drill King, this Pokémon can tunnel through the terrain at speeds of over 90 mph.
ShieldAudino
It touches others with the feelers on its ears, using the sound of their heartbeats to tell how they are feeling.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireIts auditory sense is astounding. It has a radarlike ability to understand its surroundings through slight sounds.
WhiteUsing the feelers on its ears, it can tell how someone is feeling or when an egg might hatch.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyAudino’s sense of hearing is superb. Not even a pebble rolling along over a mile away will escape Audino’s ears.
SwordThis Pokémon has a kind heart. By touching with its feelers, Audino can gauge other creatures’ feelings and physical conditions.
ShieldTimburr
It fights by swinging a piece of lumber around. It is close to evolving when it can handle the lumber without difficulty.
BlackThese Pokémon appear at building sites and help out with construction. They always carry squared logs.
White / X / Omega-rubyAlways carrying squared logs, they help out with construction. As they grow, they carry bigger logs.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt loves helping out with construction projects. It loves it so much that if rain causes work to halt, it swings its log around and throws a tantrum.
SwordTimburr that have started carrying logs that are about three times their size are nearly ready to evolve.
ShieldGurdurr
This Pokémon is so muscular and strongly built that even a group of wrestlers could not make it budge an inch.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireThey strengthen their bodies by carrying steel beams. They show off their big muscles to their friends.
WhiteWith strengthened bodies, they skillfully wield steel beams to take down buildings.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyIt shows off its muscles to Machoke and other Gurdurr. If it fails to measure up to the other Pokémon, it lies low for a little while.
SwordGurdurr excels at demolition—construction is not its forte. In any case, there’s skill in the way this Pokémon wields its metal beam.
ShieldConkeldurr
It is thought that Conkeldurr taught humans how to make concrete more than 2,000 years ago.
Black / X / Omega-rubyThey use concrete pillars as walking canes. They know moves that enable them to swing the pillars freely in battle.
WhiteRather than rely on force, they master moves that utilize the centrifugal force of spinning concrete.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireConcrete mixed by Conkeldurr is much more durable than normal concrete, even when the compositions of the two materials are the same.
SwordWhen going all out, this Pokémon throws aside its concrete pillars and leaps at opponents to pummel them with its fists.
ShieldTympole
They warn others of danger by vibrating their cheeks to create a high-pitched sound.
BlackBy vibrating its cheeks, it emits sound waves imperceptible to humans. It uses the rhythm of these sounds to talk.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireBy vibrating its cheeks, it emits sound waves imperceptible to humans and warns others of danger.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyGraceful ripples running across the water’s surface are a sure sign that Tympole are singing in high-pitched voices below.

Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt weakens its prey with sound waves intense enough to cause headaches, then entangles them with its sticky tongue.
SwordOn occasion, their cries are sublimely pleasing to the ear. Palpitoad with larger lumps on their bodies can sing with a wider range of sounds.
ShieldSeismitoad
They shoot paralyzing liquid from their head bumps. They use vibration to hurt their opponents.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt increases the power of its punches by vibrating the bumps on its fists. It can turn a boulder to rubble with one punch.

SwordThis Pokémon is popular among the elderly, who say the vibrations of its lumps are great for massages.
ShieldThroh
When it tightens its belt, it becomes stronger. Wild Throh use vines to weave their own belts.
Black / X / Omega-rubyWhen they encounter foes bigger than themselves, they try to throw them. They always travel in packs of five.
WhiteWhen it encounters a foe bigger than itself, it wants to throw it. It changes belts as it gets stronger.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt performs throwing moves with first-rate skill. Over the course of many battles, Throh’s belt grows darker as it absorbs its wearer’s sweat.
SwordThey train in groups of five. Any member that can’t keep up will discard its belt and leave the group.
ShieldSawk
The sound of Sawk punching boulders and trees can be heard all the way from the mountains where they train.
BlackTying their belts gets them pumped and makes their punches more destructive. Disturbing their training angers them.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireDesiring the strongest karate chop, they seclude themselves in mountains and train without sleeping.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyIf you see a Sawk training in the mountains in its single-minded pursuit of strength, it’s best to quietly pass by.
SwordThe karate chops of a Sawk that’s trained itself to the limit can cleave the ocean itself.
ShieldSewaddle
Leavanny dress it in clothes they made for it when it hatched. It hides its head in its hood while it is sleeping.
BlackThis Pokémon makes clothes for itself. It chews up leaves and sews them with sticky thread extruded from its mouth.
White / X / Omega-rubySince this Pokémon makes its own clothes out of leaves, it is a popular mascot for fashion designers.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireSwadloon
Forests where Swadloon live have superb foliage because the nutrients they make from fallen leaves nourish the plant life.
Black / X / Omega-rubyIt protects itself from the cold by wrapping up in leaves. It stays on the move, eating leaves in forests.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphirePreferring dark, damp places, it spends the entire day eating fallen leaves that lie around it.
Black-2 / White-2Leavanny
Upon finding a small Pokémon, it weaves clothing for it from leaves, using the cutters on its arms and sticky silk.
BlackIt keeps its eggs warm with heat from fermenting leaves. It also uses leaves to make warm wrappings for Sewaddle.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireUpon finding a small Pokémon, it weaves clothing for it from leaves by using the sticky silk secreted from its mouth.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyVenipede
Its bite injects a potent poison, enough to paralyze large bird Pokémon that try to prey on it.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt discovers what is going on around it by using the feelers on its head and tail. It is brutally aggressive.
White / X / Omega-rubyUsing the feelers on its head and tail, it picks up vibrations in the air to determine its prey’s location and state.
Black-2 / White-2Venipede and Sizzlipede are similar species, but when the two meet, a huge fight ensues.
SwordIts fangs are highly venomous. If this Pokémon finds prey it thinks it can eat, it leaps for them without any thought of how things might turn out.
ShieldWhirlipede
Protected by a hard shell, it spins its body like a wheel and crashes furiously into its enemies.
Black / X / Omega-rubyIt is usually motionless, but when attacked, it rotates at high speed and then crashes into its opponent.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireStoring energy for evolution, it sits. But, when predators approach, it moves to stab them with poison spikes.
Black-2 / White-2This Pokémon spins itself rapidly and charges into its opponents. Its top speed is just over 60 mph.
SwordWhirlipede protects itself with a sturdy shell and poisonous spikes while it stores up the energy it’ll need for evolution.

Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyScolipede latches on to its prey with the claws on its neck before slamming them into the ground and jabbing them with its claws’ toxic spikes.
SwordScolipede engage in fierce territorial battles with Centiskorch. At the end of one of these battles, the victor makes a meal of the loser.
ShieldCottonee
When attacked, it escapes by shooting cotton from its body. The cotton serves as a decoy to distract the attacker.
Black / X / Omega-rubyThey go wherever the wind takes them. On rainy days, their bodies are heavier, so they take shelter beneath big trees.
WhitePerhaps because they feel more at ease in a group, they stick to others they find. They end up looking like a cloud.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireWhen it finds others of its kind, they all stick together. When enough of them have collected, the mass resembles a cumulonimbus cloud.
SunPillows and beds stuffed with cotton exhaled by Cottonee are soft and puffy, light and airy— altogether top quality.
MoonTo protect itself, it shoots cotton from its body. When it gets wet in the rain, its cotton grows moist and heavy, and it can’t move as well.
Ultra-sunWhen attacked, it expels cotton from its body to create a diversion. The cotton it loses grows back in quickly.
Ultra-moonIt shoots cotton from its body to protect itself. If it gets caught up in hurricane-strength winds, it can get sent to the other side of the Earth.
SwordWeaving together the cotton of both Cottonee and Eldegoss produces exquisite cloth that’s highly prized by many luxury brands.
ShieldWhimsicott
Like the wind, it can slip through any gap, no matter how small. It leaves balls of white fluff behind.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireRiding whirlwinds, they appear. These Pokémon sneak through gaps into houses and cause all sorts of mischief.
WhiteThey appear along with whirlwinds. They pull pranks, such as moving furniture and leaving balls of cotton in homes.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyIt rides on the wind and slips into people’s homes. After it has turned a room into a cotton- filled mess, it giggles to itself and takes off.
SunThis Pokémon appears, riding upon the wind. But if the wind gusts up, it’ll blow the cotton on this Pokémon’s head clean off.
MoonThis nuisance sneaks into people’s homes, where it hides important things and scatters cotton all over the place.
Ultra-sunWhimsicott doesn’t live in a fixed location. It floats around on whirling winds, appearing all over the place to perform its mischief.
Ultra-moonIt scatters cotton all over the place as a prank. If it gets wet, it’ll become too heavy to move and have no choice but to answer for its mischief.
SwordAs long as this Pokémon bathes in sunlight, its cotton keeps growing. If too much cotton fluff builds up, Whimsicott tears it off and scatters it.
ShieldPetilil
The leaves on its head are very bitter. Eating one of these leaves is known to refresh a tired body.
Black / X / Omega-rubySince they prefer moist, nutrient-rich soil, the areas where Petilil live are known to be good for growing plants.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireThe leaves on its head grow right back even if they fall out. These bitter leaves refresh those who eat them.
Black-2 / White-2Although the leaves on its head are bitter enough to cause dizziness, they provide relief from weariness—even more so when boiled.
SunBy pruning the leaves on its head with regularity, this Pokémon can be grown into a fine plump shape.
MoonSome say if you dry the leaves on its head, boil them down, and drink the infusion, your vigor will return, so Petilil is popular with the elderly.
Ultra-sunThey prefer clean water and soil. When the environment they live in turns bad, the whole bunch will up and move to a new area.
Ultra-moonPetilil appears around sources of clean water. Boiling leaves from this Pokémon’s head results in a liquid that’s sometimes used as a bug repellent.
SwordThe deeper the color of a Petilil’s leaves, the healthier the Pokémon is. Petilil sometimes makes its home in a well-tended field or flowerbed.
ShieldThe leaves on its head are highly valued for medicinal purposes. Dry the leaves in the sun, boil them, and then drink the bitter decoction for remarkably effective relief from fatigue.
Legends-arceusLilligant
Even veteran Trainers face a challenge in getting its beautiful flower to bloom. This Pokémon is popular with celebrities.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireThe fragrance of the garland on its head has a relaxing effect. It withers if a Trainer does not take good care of it.
White / X / Omega-rubyThe fragrance of the garland on its head has a relaxing effect, but taking care of it is very difficult.
Black-2 / White-2No matter how much time and money is spent raising it, its flowers are the most beautiful when they bloom in the wild.
SunAs soon as it finds a male to be its partner, the beautiful flower on its head darkens, droops, and withers away.
MoonThe fragrance of its flower differs slightly depending on the soil where it grew up. Sniffing the aroma calms your heart and mind.
Ultra-sunIt’s well liked by other Pokémon because of its beauty. The flower on its head needs constant care, or it will soon wither and rot.
Ultra-moonIt’s believed that even first-rate gardeners have a hard time getting the flower on a Lilligant’s head to bloom.
SwordEssential oils made from Lilligant flowers have a sublime scent, but they’re also staggeringly expensive.
ShieldI suspect that its well-developed legs are the result of a life spent on mountains covered in deep snow. The scent it exudes from its flower crown heartens those in proximity.
Legends-arceusBasculin
Red and blue Basculin get along so poorly, they’ll start fighting instantly. These Pokémon are very hostile.
BlackRed and blue Basculin usually do not get along, but sometimes members of one school mingle with the other’s school.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireRed- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting. They are also remarkably tasty.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubySavage, violent Pokémon, red and blue Basculin are always fighting each other over territory.
Ultra-sunWhen a school of Basculin appears in a lake, everything else disappears, except for Corphish and Crawdaunt. That’s how violent Basculin are.
Ultra-moonAnglers love the fight this Pokémon puts up on the hook. And there are always more to catch— many people release them into lakes illicitly.
SwordIn the past, it often appeared on the dinner table. The meat of red-striped Basculin is on the fatty side, and it’s more popular with the youth.
ShieldThough it differs from other Basculin in several respects, including demeanor—this one is gentle—I have categorized it as a regional form given the vast array of shared qualities.
Legends-arceusSandile
They live buried in the sands of the desert. The sun-warmed sands prevent their body temperature from dropping.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt moves along below the sand’s surface, except for its nose and eyes. A dark membrane shields its eyes from the sun.
White / X / Omega-rubyThey live hidden under hot desert sands in order to keep their body temperature from dropping.
Black-2 / White-2It submerges itself in sand and moves as if swimming. This wise behavior keeps its enemies from finding it and maintains its temperature.
SunIt conceals itself in the sand and chomps down on the legs of any prey that unwarily walk over it. Its favorite food is Trapinch.
MoonAlola, where it’s warm all year round, is a comfortable environment for this Pokémon. Sometimes you’ll even see it outside of deserts.
Ultra-sunSandile’s still not good at hunting, so it mostly eats things that have collapsed in the desert. It’s called “the cleaner of the desert.”
Ultra-moonThe desert gets cold at night, so when the sun sets, this Pokémon burrows deep into the sand and sleeps until sunrise.
SwordSandile is small, but its legs and lower body are powerful. Pushing sand aside as it goes, Sandile moves through the desert as if it’s swimming.
ShieldKrokorok
They live in groups of a few individuals. Protective membranes shield their eyes from sandstorms.
Black / X / Omega-rubyThe special membrane covering its eyes can sense the heat of objects, so it can see its surroundings even in darkness.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireProtected by thin membranes, their eyes can see even in the dead of night. They live in groups of a few individuals.
Black-2 / White-2They move in groups of a few individuals. A female is often the leader of the group, and the males will gather food.
SunThanks to the special membrane covering its eyes, it can see its surroundings clearly, even in the middle of the night.
MoonKrokorok really hates it when its body gets cold. On nights when the temperature drops, it digs deep into the desert sands.
Ultra-sunIt buries some of its prey in the sand to use as emergency meals when its hunts are unsuccessful.
Ultra-moonKrokorok has specialized eyes that enable it to see in the dark. This ability lets Krokorok hunt in the dead of night without getting lost.
SwordAlthough this Pokémon has specialized eyes that allow it to see in the dark, Krokorok won’t move much at night—the desert gets cold after sunset.
ShieldKrookodile
They never allow prey to escape. Their jaws are so powerful, they can crush the body of an automobile.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt can expand the focus of its eyes, enabling it to see objects in the far distance as if it were using binoculars.
WhiteVery violent Pokémon, they try to clamp down on anything that moves in front of their eyes.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyIts unique faculty of sight can detect small prey more than 30 miles away, even in the midst of a sandstorm.
SunAfter clamping down with its powerful jaws, it twists its body around to rip its prey in half.
MoonWhen it spots prey, even at a distance of over 30 miles, it swims through the desert as if it were water, then jumps out and chomps them.
Ultra-sunIt conceals itself in sandstorms that Flygon whip up and waits patiently for prey to appear.
Ultra-moonThis Pokémon is known as the Bully of the Sands. Krookodile’s mighty jaws can bite through heavy plates of iron with almost no effort at all.
SwordWhile terribly aggressive, Krookodile also has the patience to stay hidden under sand for days, lying in wait for prey.
ShieldDarumaka
When its internal fire is burning, it cannot calm down and it runs around. When the fire diminishes, it falls asleep.
BlackDarumaka’s droppings are hot, so people used to put them in their clothes to keep themselves warm.
White / X / Omega-rubyWhen it sleeps, it pulls its limbs into its body and its internal fire goes down to 1,100° F.
Black-2 / White-2When it sleeps, it pulls its limbs into its body and its internal fire goes down to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt derives its power from fire burning inside its body. If the fire dwindles, this Pokémon will immediately fall asleep.

WhiteIt absorbs the iron it finds in the rock while clinging to the ceiling. It shoots spikes when in danger.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt defends itself by launching spikes, but its aim isn’t very good at first. Only after a lot of practice will it improve.
SwordMossy caves are their preferred dwellings. Enzymes contained in mosses help Ferroseed’s spikes grow big and strong.
ShieldFerrothorn

ShieldKlang
By changing the direction in which it rotates, it communicates its feelings to others. When angry, it rotates faster.
Black / X / Omega-rubySpinning minigears are rotated at high speed and repeatedly fired away. It is dangerous if the gears don’t return.
WhiteA minigear and big gear comprise its body. If the minigear it launches at a foe doesn’t return, it will die.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireWhen Klang goes all out, the minigear links up perfectly with the outer part of the big gear, and this Pokémon’s rotation speed increases sharply.
SwordMany companies in the Galar region choose Klang as their logo. This Pokémon is considered the symbol of industrial technology.
ShieldKlinklang
The gear with the red core is rotated at high speed for a rapid energy charge.
White / X / Omega-rubyIts red core functions as an energy tank. It fires the charged energy through its spikes into an area.

Black / X / Omega-rubyThis Pokémon had never been seen until it appeared from far in the desert 50 years ago.
WhiteRumors of its origin are linked to a UFO crash site in the desert 50 years ago.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt controls tremendous psychic power. Most reports of alien sightings are actually just people mistaking Elgyem for an alien.

ShieldAxew

Black / X / Omega-rubyThey mark their territory by leaving gashes in trees with their tusks. If a tusk breaks, a new one grows in quickly.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireIts large tusks have a tendency to break, but each time they grow back, they grow in harder and sturdier.
Black-2 / White-2These Pokémon nest in the ground and use their tusks to crush hard berries. Crushing berries is also how they test each other’s strength.
SwordThey play with each other by knocking their large tusks together. Their tusks break sometimes, but they grow back so quickly that it isn’t a concern.
ShieldFraxure
Since a broken tusk will not grow back, they diligently sharpen their tusks on river rocks after they’ve been fighting.
BlackTheir tusks can shatter rocks. Territory battles between Fraxure can be intensely violent.
White / X / Omega-rubyA broken tusk will not grow back, so it diligently sharpens its tusks on river rocks after the end of a battle.

ShieldCubchoo
When it is not feeling well, its mucus gets watery and the power of its Ice-type moves decreases.
BlackIts nose is always running. It sniffs the snot back up because the mucus provides the raw material for its moves.
White / X / Omega-rubyTheir snot is a barometer of health. When healthy, their snot is sticky and the power of their ice moves increases.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireWhen this Pokémon is in good health, its snot becomes thicker and stickier. It will smear its snot on anyone it doesn’t like.
SwordIt sniffles before performing a move, using its frosty snot to provide an icy element to any move that needs it.

BlackIt evolves when bathed in an electric-like energy along with Karrablast. The reason is still unknown.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireWhen it and Karrablast are together, and both receive electrical stimulation, they both evolve.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyWhen attacked, it tightly shuts the lid of its shell. This reaction fails to protect it from Karrablast, however, because they can still get into the shell.
SwordIt has a strange physiology that responds to electricity. When together with Karrablast, Shelmet evolves for some reason.
ShieldAccelgor
When its body dries out, it weakens. So, to prevent dehydration, it wraps itself in many layers of thin membrane.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireHaving removed its heavy shell, it becomes very light and can fight with ninja-like movements.
White / X / Omega-rubyWhen its body dries out, it weakens. So it wraps a membrane around itself for protection while it spits poison.

SwordThere’s a theory that inside Golurk is a perpetual motion machine that produces limitless energy, but this belief hasn’t been proven.
ShieldPawniard

WhiteIt protects its plump posterior with the bones of prey it has consumed. As it grows, it replaces the bones.
SunIt can’t fly yet and must wait until its wings have developed more. Since it’s still at a playful age, it hops around friskily.
MoonMandibuzz gives it the bones it wears. Vullaby’s wings are short, so it can’t fly yet, but it jumps around, dreaming of wide open skies.

The lower half of its body is wrapped in a cloud of energy. It zooms through the sky at 200 mph.
Black / X / Omega-rubyTornadus expels massive energy from its tail, causing severe storms. Its power is great enough to blow houses away.
White / Y / Alpha-sapphireIn every direction it flies, creating winds so powerful, they blow everything away.

Legends-arceusThundurus
Countless charred remains mar the landscape of places through which Thundurus has passed.
BlackThe spikes on its tail discharge immense bolts of lightning. It flies around the Unova region firing off lightning bolts.
White / X / Omega-rubyAs it flies around, it shoots lightning all over the place and causes forest fires. It is therefore disliked.

ShieldLandorus
Lands visited by Landorus grant such bountiful crops that it has been hailed as “The Guardian of the Fields.”
Black / X / Omega-rubyThe energy that comes pouring from its tail increases the nutrition in the soil, making crops grow to great size.
WhiteFrom the forces of lightning and wind, it creates energy to give nutrients to the soil and make the land abundant.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireWhen the incarnations of wind and of lightning clash, Landorus arrives to quell the conflict. After the tempests and thunderbolts abate, the land is sure to be blessed with bountiful harvests.
Legends-arceusKyurem
It generates a powerful, freezing energy inside itself, but its body became frozen when the energy leaked out.
Black / Y / Alpha-sapphireIt can produce ultracold air. Its body is frozen.
WhiteThis legendary ice Pokémon waits for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with truth or ideals.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyDwelling within it is a power even greater than that of Reshiram or Zekrom, but the extreme cold keeps that power bound.
SwordIt appears that this Pokémon uses its powers over ice to freeze its own body in order to stabilize its cellular structure.
ShieldKeldeo
By blasting water from its hooves, it can glide across water. It excels at using leg moves while battling.
BlackIt crosses the world, running over the surfaces of oceans and rivers. It appears at scenic waterfronts.
White / X / Omega-rubyWhen it is resolute, its body fills with power and it becomes swifter. Its jumps are then too fast to follow.
Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireCobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion taught this Pokémon how to fight. It dashes across the world, seeking more opportunities to further its training.
SwordThey say that Keldeo must survive harsh battles and fully develop the horn on its forehead before this Pokémon’s true power will awaken.
ShieldMeloetta
Its melodies are sung with a special vocalization method that can control the feelings of those who hear it.
Y / Black / Alpha-sapphireMany famous songs have been inspired by the melodies that Meloetta plays.
WhiteThe melodies sung by Meloetta have the power to make Pokémon that hear them happy or sad.
Black-2 / White-2 / X / Omega-rubyGenesect

Black-2 / White-2 / Y / Alpha-sapphireChespin

Y / Alpha-sapphireBraixen
It has a twig stuck in its tail. With friction from its tail fur, it sets the twig on fire and launches into battle.

It gazes into the flame at the tip of its branch to achieve a focused state, which allows it to see into the future.
X / Omega-rubyUsing psychic power, it generates a fiery vortex of 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit, incinerating foes swept into this whirl of flame.
Y / Alpha-sapphireFroakie

Y / Alpha-sapphireIt excels at digging holes. Using its ears, it can dig a nest 33 feet deep in one night.
SwordIt’s very sensitive to danger. The sound of Corviknight’s flapping will have Bunnelby digging a hole to hide underground in moments.
ShieldDiggersby
With their powerful ears, they can heft boulders of a ton or more with ease. They can be a big help at construction sites.
X / Omega-rubyAs powerful as an excavator, its ears can reduce dense bedrock to rubble. When it’s finished digging, it lounges lazily.

These friendly Pokémon send signals to one another with beautiful chirps and tail-feather movements.
X / Omega-rubyDespite the beauty of its lilting voice, it’s merciless to intruders that enter its territory.
Y / Alpha-sapphireThis amiable Pokémon is easy to train. But when battle is joined, it shows its ferocious side.
SunWhen it’s excited, its temperature can double, spiking hormone production in its body.
MoonWhile it’s an amiable Pokémon, if you touch it unexpectedly, it will heat up its body in an instant, and you’ll be burned.
Ultra-sunIts body is always warm. Trainers who live in cold areas apparently sleep with it in their bed.
Ultra-moonIts melodious cries are actually warnings. Fletchling will mercilessly peck at anything that enters its territory.
SwordWhen this Pokémon gets excited, its body temperature increases sharply. If you touch a Fletchling with bare hands, you might get burned.
ShieldFletchinder
From its beak, it expels embers that set the tall grass on fire. Then it pounces on the bewildered prey that pop out of the grass.
X / Omega-rubyThe hotter the flame sac on its belly, the faster it can fly, but it takes some time to get the fire going.
Y / Alpha-sapphireFrom its beak, it fires embers at its prey. Once it has caught them, it grills them at high heat before feasting upon them.
SunIt will not tolerate other Fletchinder entering its territory, which has a radius of several miles.
MoonIt scatters embers in the tall grass. Then bug Pokémon, frightened by the flames, come flying out, and Fletchinder gobbles them up.
Ultra-sunIts speed right after takeoff already puts it in the top speed class of all bird Pokémon.
Ultra-moonFletchinder launches embers into the den of its prey. When the prey comes leaping out, Fletchinder’s sharp talons finish it off.
SwordFletchinder are exceedingly territorial and aggressive. These Pokémon fight among themselves over feeding grounds.
ShieldTalonflame
In the fever of an exciting battle, it showers embers from the gaps between its feathers and takes to the air.
X / Omega-rubyWhen attacking prey, it can reach speeds of up to 310 mph. It finishes its prey off with a colossal kick.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIts favorite foods are Wingull and Pikipek. It attacks with a powerful kick and grasps them firmly in its talons.
SunIt zooms directly at its prey at flight speeds of close to 310 mph, while fiery embers scatter from gaps in its feathers.
MoonIts tough wings don’t allow fire to pass through them. A long time ago, firefighters’ outfits were made from Talonflame wings.
Ultra-sunBird Pokémon make up most of its diet. It approaches at high speeds and smacks them down to the ground with its powerful kick.
Ultra-moonTalonflame mainly preys upon other bird Pokémon. To intimidate opponents, it sends embers spewing from gaps between its feathers.
SwordTalonflame dives toward prey at speeds of up to 310 mph and assaults them with powerful kicks, giving the prey no chance to escape.

X / Omega-rubyThe powder that covers its body regulates its temperature, so it can live in any region or climate.
Y / Alpha-sapphireSpewpa
It lives hidden within thicket shadows. When predators attack, it quickly bristles the fur covering its body in an effort to threaten them.
X / Omega-rubyThe beaks of bird Pokémon can’t begin to scratch its stalwart body. To defend itself, it spews powder.
Y / Alpha-sapphireVivillon
Vivillon with many different patterns are found all over the world. These patterns are affected by the climate of their habitat.
X / Omega-rubyThe patterns on this Pokémon’s wings depend on the climate and topography of its habitat. It scatters colorful scales.
Y / Alpha-sapphireLitleo
The stronger the opponent it faces, the more heat surges from its mane and the more power flows through its body.
X / Omega-rubyThey set off on their own from their pride and live by themselves to become stronger. These hot-blooded Pokémon are quick to fight.
Y / Alpha-sapphireWhen they’re young, they live with a pride. Once they’re able to hunt prey on their own, they’re kicked out and have to make their own way.
Ultra-sunThis hot-blooded Pokémon is filled with curiosity. When it gets angry or starts fighting, its short mane gets hot.
Ultra-moonPyroar
The male with the largest mane of fire is the leader of the pride.
X / Omega-rubyWith fiery breath of more than 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, they viciously threaten any challenger. The females protect the pride’s cubs.
Y / Alpha-sapphireThe males are usually lazy, but when attacked by a strong foe, a male will protect its friends with no regard for its own safety.
Ultra-sunThe temperature of its breath is over 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, but Pyroar doesn’t use it on its prey. This Pokémon prefers to eat raw meat.
Ultra-moonFlabebe
It draws out and controls the hidden power of flowers. The flower Flabébé holds is most likely part of its body.
X / Omega-rubyWhen it finds a flower it likes, it dwells on that flower its whole life long. It floats in the wind’s embrace with an untroubled heart.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt’s not safe without the power of a flower, but it will keep traveling around until it finds one with the color and shape it wants.
Ultra-sunFlabébé wears a crown made from pollen it’s collected from its flower. The crown has hidden healing properties.
Ultra-moonFloette
It flutters around fields of flowers and cares for flowers that are starting to wilt. It draws out the hidden power of flowers to battle.
X / Omega-rubyWhen the flowers of a well-tended flower bed bloom, it appears and celebrates with an elegant dance.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt raises flowers and uses them as weapons. The more gorgeous the blossom, the more power it contains.
Ultra-sunIt gives its own power to flowers, pouring its heart into caring for them. Floette never forgives anyone who messes up a flower bed.
Ultra-moonFlorges
It claims exquisite flower gardens as its territory, and it obtains power from basking in the energy emitted by flowering plants.
X / Omega-rubyIn times long past, governors of castles would invite Florges to create flower gardens to embellish the castle domains.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt controls the flowers it grows. The petal blizzards that Florges triggers are overwhelming in their beauty and power.
Ultra-sunIts life can span several hundred years. It’s said to devote its entire life to protecting gardens.
Ultra-moonSkiddo
Thought to be one of the first Pokémon to live in harmony with humans, it has a placid disposition.
X / Omega-rubyIf it has sunshine and water, it doesn’t need to eat, because it can generate energy from the leaves on its back.
Y / Alpha-sapphireGogoat
It can tell how its Trainer is feeling by subtle shifts in the grip on its horns. This empathic sense lets them run as if one being.
X / Omega-rubyThey inhabit mountainous regions. The leader of the herd is decided by a battle of clashing horns.
Y / Alpha-sapphirePancham
It does its best to be taken seriously by its enemies, but its glare is not sufficiently intimidating. Chewing on a leaf is its trademark.
X / Omega-rubyIt does its level best to glare and pull a scary face, but it can’t help grinning if anyone pats its head.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt grows up imitating the behavior of Pangoro, which it looks up to as a leader.
SunThere’s no point to the leaf in its mouth, aside from an effort to look cool. It’s mischievous, so it’s not well suited to inexperienced Trainers.
MoonIt follows Pangoro around like a henchman. When Pancham makes a big mistake, its leaf gets taken away.
Ultra-sunIt’s desperate to intimidate its opponents. Be nice and pretend to be scared if you catch it glaring at you intensely.
Ultra-moonIt chooses a Pangoro as its master and then imitates its master’s actions. This is how it learns to battle and hunt for prey.
SwordWanting to make sure it’s taken seriously, Pancham’s always giving others a glare. But if it’s not focusing, it ends up smiling.
ShieldPangoro
Although it possesses a violent temperament, it won’t put up with bullying. It uses the leaf in its mouth to sense the movements of its enemies.
X / Omega-rubyIt charges ahead and bashes its opponents like a berserker, uncaring about any hits it might take. Its arms are mighty enough to snap a telephone pole.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt boasts superb physical strength. Those who wish to become Pangoro’s Trainer have no choice but to converse with their fists.
SunFrom the slight twitches of its bamboo leaf, it deduces its opponent’s movements. It’s eager to tussle but kindhearted toward its companions.
MoonThis rowdy Pokémon boasts great physical strength. Many Trainers are also smitten by its lively character.
Ultra-sunPangoro is the type to talk with its fists. It doesn’t say much as it pummels opponents with enough force to send a dump truck flying.
Ultra-moonThis Pokémon is quick to anger, and it has no problem using its prodigious strength to get its way. It lives for duels against Obstagoon.
SwordUsing its leaf, Pangoro can predict the moves of its opponents. It strikes with punches that can turn a dump truck into scrap with just one hit.
ShieldFurfrou
Trimming its fluffy fur not only makes it more elegant but also increases the swiftness of its movements.
X / Omega-rubyHistorically, in the Kalos region, these Pokémon were the designated guardians of the king.
Y / Alpha-sapphireThere was an era when aristocrats would compete to see who could trim their Furfrou’s fur into the most exquisite style.
Ultra-sunLeft alone, its fur will grow longer and longer, but it will only allow someone it trusts to cut it.
Ultra-moonEspurr
The organ that emits its intense psychic power is sheltered by its ears to keep power from leaking out.
X / Omega-rubyIt has enough psychic energy to blast everything within 300 feet of itself, but it has no control over its power.
Y / Alpha-sapphireThough Espurr’s expression never changes, behind that blank stare is an intense struggle to contain its devastating psychic power.
SwordThere’s enough psychic power in Espurr to send a wrestler flying, but because this power can’t be controlled, Espurr finds it troublesome.
ShieldMeowstic
When in danger, it raises its ears and releases enough psychic power to grind a 10-ton truck into dust.
X / Omega-rubyThe eyeball patterns on the interior of its ears emit psychic energy. It keeps the patterns tightly covered because that power is too immense.
Y / Alpha-sapphireRevealing the eyelike patterns on the insides of its ears will unleash its psychic powers. It normally keeps the patterns hidden, however.
SwordThe defensive instinct of the males is strong. It’s when they’re protecting themselves or their partners that they unleash their full power.
ShieldHonedge
Apparently this Pokémon is born when a departed spirit inhabits a sword. It attaches itself to people and drinks their life force.
X / Omega-rubyIf anyone dares to grab its hilt, it wraps a blue cloth around that person’s arm and drains that person’s life energy completely.
Y / Alpha-sapphireHonedge’s soul once belonged to a person who was killed a long time ago by the sword that makes up Honedge’s body.
SwordThe blue eye on the sword’s handguard is the true body of Honedge. With its old cloth, it drains people’s lives away.
ShieldDoublade
When Honedge evolves, it divides into two swords, which cooperate via telepathy to coordinate attacks and slash their enemies to ribbons.
X / Omega-rubyThe complex attack patterns of its two swords are unstoppable, even for an opponent greatly accomplished at swordplay.
Y / Alpha-sapphireHonedge evolves into twins. The two blades rub together to emit a metallic sound that unnerves opponents.
SwordThe two swords employ a strategy of rapidly alternating between offense and defense to bring down their prey.
ShieldAegislash
Generations of kings were attended by these Pokémon, which used their spectral power to manipulate and control people and Pokémon.
X / Omega-rubyApparently, it can detect the innate qualities of leadership. According to legend, whoever it recognizes is destined to become king.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIn this defensive stance, Aegislash uses its steel body and a force field of spectral power to reduce the damage of any attack.
SwordIts potent spectral powers allow it to manipulate others. It once used its powers to force people and Pokémon to build a kingdom to its liking.
ShieldSpritzee
It emits a scent that enraptures those who smell it. This fragrance changes depending on what it has eaten.
X / Omega-rubyIn the past, rather than using perfume, royal ladies carried a Spritzee that would waft a fragrance they liked.
Y / Alpha-sapphireA scent pouch within this Pokémon’s body allows it to create various scents. A change in its diet will alter the fragrance it produces.
SwordThe scent its body gives off enraptures those who smell it. Noble ladies had no shortage of love for Spritzee.
ShieldAromatisse
It devises various scents, pleasant and unpleasant, and emits scents that its enemies dislike in order to gain an edge in battle.
X / Omega-rubyIts scent is so overpowering that, unless a Trainer happens to really enjoy the smell, he or she will have a hard time walking alongside it.
Y / Alpha-sapphireThe scent that constantly emits from its fur is so powerful that this Pokémon’s companions will eventually lose their sense of smell.
SwordThe scents Aromatisse can produce range from sweet smells that bolster allies to foul smells that sap an opponent’s will to fight.
ShieldSwirlix
To entangle its opponents in battle, it extrudes white threads as sweet and sticky as cotton candy.
X / Omega-rubyBecause it eats nothing but sweets, its fur is as sticky sweet as cotton candy.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt eats its own weight in sugar every day. If it doesn’t get enough sugar, it becomes incredibly grumpy.
SwordThe sweet smell of cotton candy perfumes Swirlix’s fluffy fur. This Pokémon spits out sticky string to tangle up its enemies.
ShieldSlurpuff
It can distinguish the faintest of scents. It puts its sensitive sense of smell to use by helping pastry chefs in their work.
X / Omega-rubyIts sense of smell is 100 million times better than a human’s, so even the faintest scent tells it about everything in the area. It’s like it can see with its nose!
Y / Alpha-sapphireBy taking in a person’s scent, it can sniff out their mental and physical condition. It’s hoped that this skill will have many medical applications.
SwordSlurpuff’s fur contains a lot of air, making it soft to the touch and lighter than it looks.
ShieldInkay
Opponents who stare at the flashing of the light-emitting spots on its body become dazed and lose their will to fight.
X / Omega-rubyIt flashes the light-emitting spots on its body, which drains its opponent’s will to fight. It takes the opportunity to scuttle away and hide.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt draws prey near with its blinking lights and then wraps them up in its long tentacles and holds them in place.
Ultra-sunWhen exchanging information with others of its kind, it flashes the light-emitting spots on its body in a complex rhythm.
Ultra-moonIt spins while making its luminescent spots flash. These spots allow it to communicate with others by using different patterns of light.
SwordBy exposing foes to the blinking of its luminescent spots, Inkay demoralizes them, and then it seizes the chance to flee.
ShieldMalamar
It wields the most compelling hypnotic powers of any Pokémon, and it forces others to do whatever it wants.
X / Omega-rubyIt lures its prey close with hypnotic motions, then wraps its tentacles around it before finishing it off with digestive fluids.
Y / Alpha-sapphireWhen it comes to strong hypnosis, there’s an endless number of people who utilize Malamar for their nefarious deeds.
Ultra-sunIt flashes the pattern on its torso to control its prey and draw them in. The edges of its fins are supremely sharp.
Ultra-moonGazing at its luminescent spots will quickly induce a hypnotic state, putting the observer under Malamar’s control.
SwordIt’s said that Malamar’s hypnotic powers played a role in certain history-changing events.
ShieldBinacle
Two Binacle live together on one rock. When they fight, one of them will move to a different rock.
X / Omega-rubyThey stretch and then contract, yanking their rocks along with them in bold hops. They eat seaweed that washes up on the shoreline.
Y / Alpha-sapphireAfter two Binacle find a suitably sized rock, they adhere themselves to it and live together. They cooperate to gather food during high tide.
SwordIf the two don’t work well together, both their offense and defense fall apart. Without good teamwork, they won’t survive.
ShieldBarbaracle
When they evolve, two Binacle multiply into seven. They fight with the power of seven Binacle.
X / Omega-rubyBarbaracle’s legs and hands have minds of their own, and they will move independently. But they usually follow the head’s orders.
Y / Alpha-sapphireSeven Binacle come together to form one Barbaracle. The Binacle that serves as the head gives orders to those serving as the limbs.
SwordHaving an eye on each palm allows it to keep watch in all directions. In a pinch, its limbs start to act on their own to ensure the enemy’s defeat.
ShieldSkrelp
Camouflaged as rotten kelp, they spray liquid poison on prey that approaches unawares and then finish it off.
X / Omega-rubyIt looks just like rotten kelp. It hides from foes while storing up power for its evolution.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt vanishes into seaweed and remains perfectly still to avoid attacks from large Pokémon. Rotten seaweed is its main food source.
Ultra-sunIt’s not good at swimming, so it clings to the seaweed. In the Alola region, it’s often found near Dhelmise.
Ultra-moonIt drifts in the ocean, blending in with floating seaweed. When other Pokémon come to feast on the seaweed, Skrelp feasts on them instead.
SwordSkrelp looks like a piece of rotten seaweed, so it can blend in with seaweed drifting on the ocean and avoid being detected by enemies.
ShieldDragalge
Their poison is strong enough to eat through the hull of a tanker, and they spit it indiscriminately at anything that enters their territory.
X / Omega-rubyTales are told of ships that wander into seas where Dragalge live, never to return.
Y / Alpha-sapphireThis vicious Pokémon sprays a poisonous liquid on opponents that come near. For whatever reason, it gets along really well with Dhelmise.
Ultra-sunIt blends in with seaweed to ambush its prey and then takes them down with a poisonous liquid strong enough to melt metal.
Ultra-moonDragalge uses a poisonous liquid capable of corroding metal to send tankers that enter its territory to the bottom of the sea.
SwordDragalge generates dragon energy by sticking the plume on its head out above the ocean’s surface and bathing it in sunlight.
ShieldClauncher
They knock down flying prey by firing compressed water from their massive claws like shooting a pistol.
X / Omega-rubyThrough controlled explosions of internal gas, it can expel water like a pistol shot. At close distances, it can shatter rock.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIts claws occasionally fall off, and it keeps a low profile until they grow back. The meat of its claws is so delicious!
Ultra-sunIt moves around by jetting water from its right pincer. It has a poor sense of balance, so it’s terrible at swimming straight.
Ultra-moonClauncher’s claws can fall off during battle, but they’ll regenerate. The meat inside the claws is popular as a delicacy in Galar.
SwordBy detonating gas that accumulates in its right claw, this Pokémon launches water like a bullet. This is how Clauncher defeats its enemies.
ShieldClawitzer
Their enormous claws launch cannonballs of water powerful enough to pierce tanker hulls.
X / Omega-rubyBy expelling water from the nozzle in the back of its claw, it can move at a speed of 60 knots.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt compresses the water it has sucked up and then projects it with enough power to punch a hole right through a thick sheet of iron.
Ultra-sunIts right arm is packed with meat. When its pincer falls off, it’s exported to be used as a cooking ingredient.
Ultra-moonAfter using the feelers on its oversized claw to detect the location of prey, Clawitzer launches a cannonball of water at its target.
SwordClawitzer’s right arm is a cannon that launches projectiles made of seawater. Shots from a Clawitzer’s cannon arm can sink a tanker.
ShieldHelioptile
They make their home in deserts. They can generate their energy from basking in the sun, so eating food is not a requirement.
X / Omega-rubyThe frills on either side of its head have cells that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight.
Y / Alpha-sapphireWhen spread, the frills on its head act like solar panels, generating the power behind this Pokémon’s electric moves.
SwordThe sun powers this Pokémon’s electricity generation. Interruption of that process stresses Helioptile to the point of weakness.
ShieldHeliolisk
They flare their frills and generate energy. A single Heliolisk can generate sufficient electricity to power a skyscraper.
X / Omega-rubyIt stimulates its muscles with electricity, boosting the strength in its legs and enabling it to run 100 yards in five seconds.
Y / Alpha-sapphireA now-vanished desert culture treasured these Pokémon. Appropriately, when Heliolisk came to the Galar region, treasure came with them.
SwordOne Heliolisk basking in the sun with its frill outspread is all it would take to produce enough electricity to power a city.
ShieldTyrunt
This Pokémon was restored from a fossil. If something happens that it doesn’t like, it throws a tantrum and runs wild.
X / Omega-rubyIts immense jaws have enough destructive force that it can chew up an automobile. It lived 100 million years ago.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIts large jaw has incredible destructive power. Some theories suggest that its restored form is different from its form of long ago.
Ultra-sunTyrunt is spoiled and selfish. It may just be trying to frolic, but sometimes the ones it’s trying to frolic with are gravely injured.
Ultra-moonThis is an ancient Pokémon, revived in modern times. It has a violent disposition, and it’ll tear apart anything it gets between its hefty jaws.
SwordThis Pokémon is selfish and likes to be pampered. It can also inflict grievous wounds on its Trainer just by playing around.
ShieldTyrantrum
Thanks to its gargantuan jaws, which could shred thick metal plates as if they were paper, it was invincible in the ancient world it once inhabited.
X / Omega-rubyNothing could stop this Pokémon 100 million years ago, so it behaved like a king.
Y / Alpha-sapphireComplete restoration is impossible, allowing room for theories that its entire body was once covered in a feather-like coat.
Ultra-sunThe king of the ancient world, it can easily crunch a car with the devastating strength of its enormous jaws.
Ultra-moonThis Pokémon is from about 100,000,000 years ago. It has the presence of a king, vicious but magnificent.
SwordA single bite of Tyrantrum’s massive jaws will demolish a car. This Pokémon was the king of the ancient world.
ShieldAmaura
This ancient Pokémon was restored from part of its body that had been frozen in ice for over 100 million years.
X / Omega-rubyThis calm Pokémon lived in a cold land where there were no violent predators like Tyrantrum.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt lived in cold areas in ancient times. It’s said that when Amaura whinnies, auroras appear in the night sky.
Ultra-sunAmaura was restored successfully, but it’s not expected to live long because of the heat of the current environment.
Ultra-moonThis Pokémon was successfully restored from a fossil. In the past, it lived with others of its kind in cold lands where there were fewer predators.
SwordAmaura is an ancient Pokémon that has gone extinct. Specimens of this species can sometimes be found frozen in ice.
ShieldAurorus
The diamond-shaped crystals on its body expel air as cold as -240 degrees Fahrenheit, surrounding its enemies and encasing them in ice.
X / Omega-rubyUsing its diamond-shaped crystals, it can instantly create a wall of ice to block an opponent’s attack.
Y / Alpha-sapphireAn Aurorus was found frozen solid within a glacier, just as it appeared long ago, which became quite a big event in the news.
Ultra-sunThis usually quiet and kindly Pokémon has a surface temperature of around –240 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ultra-moonAurorus was restored from a fossil. It’s said that when this Pokémon howls, auroras appear in the night sky.
SwordWhen gripped by rage, Aurorus will emanate freezing air, covering everything around it in ice.

Its whiskers serve as antennas. By sending and receiving electrical waves, it can communicate with others over vast distances.
X / Omega-rubyIt uses its tail to absorb electricity from power plants or from outlets in houses, and then it fires the electricity from its whiskers.
Y / Alpha-sapphireIt sneaks into people’s homes and steals electricity from their outlets. When your electric bill seems off, it’s the handiwork of this rascal.
Ultra-sunIts upper whiskers are sensors that survey its surroundings. Its lower whiskers are organs that shoot electricity.
Ultra-moonA Dedenne’s whiskers pick up electrical waves other Dedenne send out. These Pokémon share locations of food or electricity with one another.
SwordSince Dedenne can’t generate much electricity on its own, it steals electricity from outlets or other electric Pokémon.

SunIts source of protection is its slimy, germ-laden mucous membrane. Anyone who touches it needs some thorough hand-washing.
MoonIt uses its horns to check out its surroundings. They’re very sensitive, so if you grab them, it will feel a strong shock and be unable to move.
Ultra-sunIts body is mostly water. If it dries out, it will die, so it’s always sitting with perfect stillness in the shade.
Ultra-moonBecause most of its body is water, it will dry up if the weather becomes too arid. It’s considered the weakest dragon Pokémon.
SwordTheir horns are powerful sensors. As soon as Goomy pick up any sign of enemies, they go into hiding. This is how they’ve survived.
ShieldGoomy hides away in the shade of trees, where it's nice and humid. If the slime coating its body dries out, the Pokémon instantly becomes lethargic.
Legends-arceusSliggoo

MoonIt’s very friendly toward people. If you grow close to it, Goodra will hug you with its sticky, slime-covered body. Don’t get mad.
Ultra-sunUnderneath its slimy skin is a thick layer of fat, and the combination of the two makes enemies’ attacks slide right off.
Ultra-moonSometimes it misunderstands instructions and appears dazed or bewildered. Many Trainers don’t mind, finding this behavior to be adorable.
SwordIts form of offense is forcefully stretching out its horns. The strikes land 100 times harder than any blow from a heavyweight boxer.

X / Omega-rubyIt never lets go of a key that it likes, so people give it the keys to vaults and safes as a way to prevent crime.
Y / Alpha-sapphireThis even-tempered Pokémon has a habit of collecting keys. It will sneak into people’s homes to steal their keys.
SunIt inserts its horn into chinks in metal, absorbing metal ions. For some reason, it collects keys.

Ultra-sunLong ago it lived in mines, but once the minerals that make up its diet became scarcer, Klefki began appearing in human settlements.
Ultra-moonThis Pokémon is constantly collecting keys. Entrust a Klefki with important keys, and the Pokémon will protect them no matter what.

SunIt’s awfully weak and notably tasty, so everyone is always out to get it. As it happens, anyone trying to bully it receives a painful lesson.
MoonThey’re weak, so they move in schools. However, they can also often be seen all alone, having strayed from the school.
Ultra-sunWhen it’s in a jam, its shining eyes attract others of its kind. The light from its eyes is visible almost 25 miles away.
Ultra-moonIndividually, they’re incredibly weak. It’s by gathering up into schools that they’re able to confront opponents.
SwordWhen it senses danger, its eyes tear up. The sparkle of its tears signals other Wishiwashi to gather.
ShieldMareanie
It plunges the poison spike on its head into its prey. When the prey has weakened, Mareanie deals the finishing blow with its 10 tentacles.
SunIt’s found crawling on beaches and seafloors. The coral that grows on Corsola’s head is as good as a five-star banquet to this Pokémon.
MoonThey eat Corsola branches, so Mareanie are hated by craftsmen who work with Corsola branches that have naturally fallen off.
Ultra-sunAside from its head, its body parts regenerate quickly if they’re cut off. After a good night’s sleep, Mareanie is back to normal.
Ultra-moonThe first symptom of its sting is numbness. The next is an itching sensation so intense that it’s impossible to resist the urge to claw at your skin.
SwordUnlike their Alolan counterparts, the Mareanie of the Galar region have not yet figured out that the branches of Corsola are delicious.
ShieldToxapex
Toxapex crawls along the ocean floor on its 12 legs. It leaves a trail of Corsola bits scattered in its wake.
SunThose attacked by Toxapex’s poison will suffer intense pain for three days and three nights. Post-recovery, there will be some aftereffects.
MoonTo attack, this Pokémon sends toxic spikes flying at its enemies. Ones that come close get mown down by the claws on its feet.
Ultra-sunWith its 12 legs, it creates a dome to shelter within. The flow of the tides doesn’t affect Toxapex in there, so it’s very comfortable.
Ultra-moonTo survive in the cold waters of Galar, this Pokémon forms a dome with its legs, enclosing its body so it can capture its own body heat.
SwordWithin the poison sac in its body is a poison so toxic that Pokémon as large as Wailord will still be suffering three days after it first takes effect.
ShieldMudbray
The mud stuck to Mudbray’s hooves enhances its grip and its powerful running gait.
SunIt has a stubborn, individualistic disposition. Eating dirt, making mud, and playing in the mire all form part of its daily routine.
MoonIt loves playing in the mud. If it isn’t showered with mud on a daily basis, it gets stressed out and stops listening to its Trainer.
Ultra-sunPossessing mighty power, Mudbray can be loaded with 50 times its own body weight and will be totally fine.
Ultra-moonLoads weighing up to 50 times as much as its own body weight pose no issue for this Pokémon. It’s skilled at making use of mud.
SwordIt eats dirt to create mud and smears this mud all over its feet, giving them the grip needed to walk on rough terrain without slipping.
ShieldMudsdale
It spits a mud that provides resistance to both wind and rain, so the walls of old houses were often coated with it.
SunIts heavy, mud-covered kicks are its best means of attack, and it can reduce large trucks to scrap without breaking a sweat.
MoonIt remains calm and unmoving no matter the situation. It mixes dirt with the saliva in its mouth to make a special kind of mud.
Ultra-sunIt can trudge mountain roads without rest for three days and three nights, all the while dragging a 10-ton load.
Ultra-moonMud that hardens around a Mudsdale’s legs sets harder than stone. It’s so hard that it allows this Pokémon to scrap a truck with a single kick.
SwordMudsdale has so much stamina that it could carry over 10 tons across the Galar region without rest or sleep.
ShieldDewpider
It crawls onto the land in search of food. Its water bubble allows it to breathe and protects its soft head.
SunWhen it comes across enemies or potential prey, this Pokémon smashes its water-bubble-covered head into them.
MoonWhen two Dewpider meet, they display their water bubbles to each other. Then the one with the smaller bubble gets out of the other’s way.
Ultra-sunIt can only breathe oxygen that has dissolved in water, so it wears a water bubble on its head when it walks around on land.
Ultra-moonIt forms a water bubble at the rear of its body and then covers its head with it. Meeting another Dewpider means comparing water-bubble sizes.
SwordDewpider normally lives underwater. When it comes onto land in search of food, it takes water with it in the form of a bubble on its head.
ShieldAraquanid
It delivers headbutts with the water bubble on its head. Small Pokémon get sucked into the bubble, where they drown.
SunDespite what its appearance suggests, it cares for others. If it finds vulnerable, weak Pokémon, it protectively brings them into its water bubble.
MoonIt usually passes its time in the water. When its belly is full, it stores its subdued prey in the water bubble on its head.
Ultra-sunIt has a habit of storing things it values in its water bubble. If its Trainer doesn’t watch out, Araquanid will try to put them in its bubble!
Ultra-moonIt launches water bubbles with its legs, drowning prey within the bubbles. This Pokémon can then take its time to savor its meal.
SwordIt acts as a caretaker for Dewpider, putting them inside its bubble and letting them eat any leftover food.
ShieldFomantis
During the day, it sleeps and soaks up light. When night falls, it walks around looking for a safer place to sleep.
SunThey give off a sweet and refreshing scent. Cutiefly often gather near the tall grass where Fomantis are hiding.
MoonWhen the sun rises, Fomantis spreads its four leaves and bathes in the sunlight. The tip of its head has a pleasant aroma.
Ultra-sunIt loves the sunshine. When it basks in the sunlight regularly, it grows up with vivid coloration.
Ultra-moonWhen bathed in sunlight, this Pokémon emits a pleasantly sweet scent, which causes bug Pokémon to gather around it.
SwordDuring the day, Fomantis basks in sunlight and sleeps peacefully. It wakes and moves around at night.
ShieldLurantis
It requires a lot of effort to maintain Lurantis’s vivid coloring, but some collectors enjoy this work and treat it as their hobby.
SunIt fires beams from its sickle-shaped petals. These beams are powerful enough to cleave through thick metal plates.
MoonFor self-protection, it pretends to be a bug Pokémon. Both of its arms bear keen-edged petals.
Ultra-sunAs it slashes into its enemies, it looks like it’s dancing. Its elegant appearance has led some to call it the most glamorous Grass Pokémon.
Ultra-moonThis Pokémon resembles a beautiful flower. A properly raised Lurantis will have gorgeous, brilliant colors.
SwordThe petals on this Pokémon’s arms are thin and super sharp, and they can fire laser beams if Lurantis gathers light first.
ShieldMorelull
It scatters spores that flicker and glow. Anyone seeing these lights falls into a deep slumber.
SunAs it drowses the day away, it nourishes itself by sucking from tree roots. It wakens at the fall of night, wandering off in search of a new tree.
MoonIt scatters its shining spores around itself. Even though they’re dangerous, nighttime tours of forests where Morelull live are popular.
Ultra-sunIt likes damp dark places. When night falls, the spores filling the caps of its mushrooms glow.
Ultra-moonPokémon living in the forest eat the delicious caps on Morelull’s head. The caps regrow overnight.
SwordMorelull live in forests that stay dark even during the day. They scatter flickering spores that put enemies to sleep.
ShieldShiinotic
Forests where Shiinotic live are treacherous to enter at night. People confused by its strange lights can never find their way home again.
SunIt emits flickering spores that cause drowsiness. When its prey succumb to sleep, this Pokémon feeds on them by sucking in their energy.
MoonIt puts its prey to sleep and siphons off their vitality through the tip of its arms. If one of its kind is weakened, it helps by sending it vitality.
Ultra-sunWhen it starts fighting for territory with Parasect, the entire area gets completely coated in spores!
Ultra-moonIts flickering spores lure in prey and put them to sleep. Once this Pokémon has its prey snoozing, it drains their vitality with its fingertips.
SwordIf you see a light deep in a forest at night, don’t go near. Shiinotic will make you fall fast asleep.
ShieldSalandit
It burns its bodily fluids to create a poisonous gas. When its enemies become disoriented from inhaling the gas, it attacks them.
SunVolcanoes or dry, craggy places are its home. It emanates a sweet-smelling poisonous gas that attracts bug Pokémon, then attacks them.
MoonThe males will do whatever the females tell them. They give the females most of their food. Due to malnutrition, the males can’t evolve.
Ultra-sunIt weakens opponents and sends them reeling with its poisonous gas. Salandit doesn’t deal well with Spinda, since it’s always reeling.
Ultra-moonIts venom sacs produce a fluid that this Pokémon then heats up with the flame in its tail. This process creates Salandit’s poisonous gas.
SwordThis sneaky Pokémon will slink behind its prey and immobilize it with poisonous gas before the prey even realizes Salandit is there.
ShieldSalazzle
For some reason, only females have been found. It creates a reverse harem of male Salandit that it lives with.
SunFilled with pheromones, its poisonous gas can be diluted to use in the production of luscious perfumes.
MoonSalazzle lives deep in caves and forces the Salandit it has attracted with its pheromones to serve it.
Ultra-sunIt punishes Salandit that couldn’t bring it food with a fierce slap of its flame-spewing palm.
Ultra-moonOnly female Salazzle exist. They emit a gas laden with pheromones to captivate male Salandit.
SwordThe winner of competitions between Salazzle is decided by which one has the most male Salandit with it.
ShieldStufful
Despite its adorable appearance, when it gets angry and flails about, its arms and legs could knock a pro wrestler sprawling.
SunA touch from anyone except a known friend sends it into a surging frenzy. It’s an incredibly dangerous Pokémon.
MoonIt boasts power enough to split large trees in half. The organ on its rear releases an odor that it uses to communicate with others of its kind.
Ultra-sunStufful hates to be hugged or touched in any way. It will squirm, thrash, and resist with amazing power.
Ultra-moonIts fluffy fur is a delight to pet, but carelessly reaching out to touch this Pokémon could result in painful retaliation.
SwordThe way it protects itself by flailing its arms may be an adorable sight, but stay well away. This is flailing that can snap thick tree trunks.
ShieldBewear
This immensely dangerous Pokémon possesses overwhelming physical strength. Its habitat is generally off-limits.
SunThis Pokémon has the habit of hugging its companions. Many Trainers have left this world after their spines were squashed by its hug.
MoonIt waves its hands wildly in intimidation and warning. Life is over for anyone who doesn’t run away as fast as possible.
Ultra-sunIt boasts tremendous physical strength. Many people call it the most dangerous Pokémon in the Alola region.
Ultra-moonOnce it accepts you as a friend, it tries to show its affection with a hug. Letting it do that is dangerous—it could easily shatter your bones.
SwordThe moves it uses to take down its prey would make a martial artist jealous. It tucks subdued prey under its arms to carry them to its nest.
ShieldBounsweet
A delectable aroma pours from its body. They are often swallowed whole by Toucannon lured by that wafting deliciousness.
SunAlthough it’s too sugary for human consumption, Bounsweet’s sweat can be watered down into a juice with just the right amount of sweetness.
MoonBecause of its sweet, delicious aroma, bird Pokémon are always after it, but it’s not intelligent enough to care.
Ultra-sunIt tries to resist being swallowed by a bird Pokémon by spinning the sepals on its head. It’s usually a fruitless attempt.
Ultra-moonIts body gives off a sweet, fruity scent that is extremely appetizing to bird Pokémon.
SwordWhen under attack, it secretes a sweet and delicious sweat. The scent only calls more enemies to it.
ShieldSteenee
The sepals on its head developed to protect its body. These are quite hard, so even if pecked by bird Pokémon, this Pokémon is totally fine.
SunThis Pokémon is always bouncing around energetically. Other Pokémon are attracted by its lively appearance and pleasant aroma.
MoonIt’s protected by its hard sepals, so it plays with bird Pokémon without worry. They peck it relentlessly, but it doesn’t care.
Ultra-sunIt bounces around, swinging the sepals on its head with abandon. They’re quite painful when they smack you!
Ultra-moonAs it twirls like a dancer, a sweet smell spreads out around it. Anyone who inhales the scent will feel a surge of happiness.
SwordAny Corvisquire that pecks at this Pokémon will be greeted with a smack from its sepals followed by a sharp kick.

MoonIt stretches sticky vines out from its head and picks flowers to adorn itself with. When it doesn’t have any flowers, it feels uneasy.
Ultra-sunIt picks flowers and sticks them to its body with fluids it produces. The aroma that wafts from its petals has a healing effect.
Ultra-moonComfey picks flowers with its vine and decorates itself with them. For some reason, flowers won’t wither once they’re attached to a Comfey.
SwordThese Pokémon smell very nice. All Comfey wear different flowers, so each of these Pokémon has its own individual scent.
ShieldOranguru
Known for its extreme intelligence, this Pokémon will look down on inexperienced Trainers, so it’s best suited to veteran Trainers.
SunDeep in the jungle, high in the lofty canopy, this Pokémon abides. On rare occasions, it shows up at the beach to match wits with Slowking.
MoonIt normally spends its time meditating in the treetops. It throws Poké Balls and gives other Pokémon orders as it pleases.
Ultra-sunOranguru don’t get along with each other, so they’re always engaging in battles of wits to decide which one is superior.

SwordIt knows the forest inside and out. If it comes across a wounded Pokémon, Oranguru will gather medicinal herbs to treat it.

ShieldSandygast
Born from a sand mound playfully built by a child, this Pokémon embodies the grudges of the departed.
SunIt takes control of anyone who puts a hand in its mouth. And so it adds to the accumulation of its sand-mound body.

MoonEach of its grains of sand has its own will. Palossand eats small Pokémon and siphons away their vital essence while they’re still alive.
Ultra-sunOnce it has whipped up a sandstorm to halt its opponents in their tracks, this terrifying Pokémon snatches away their vitality.
Ultra-moonPalossand is known as the Beach Nightmare. It pulls its prey down into the sand by controlling the sand itself, and then it sucks out their souls.
SwordThis Pokémon lives on beaches, but it hates water. Palossand can’t maintain its castle-like shape if it gets drenched by a heavy rain.
ShieldPyukumuku
It’s covered in a slime that keeps its skin moist, allowing it to stay on land for days without drying up.
ShieldIt lives in shallow seas, such as areas near a beach. It can eject its internal organs, which it uses to engulf its prey or battle enemies.
SunThese Pokémon line the beaches. The sticky mucous that covers their bodies can be used to soothe sunburned skin. How convenient!
MoonThe tradition known as Pyukumuku chucking started from the custom of throwing Pyukumuku back into the sea after they wash onshore.
Ultra-sunIts entire body is covered in its own slime. If you accidentally step on one, you’ll slip, and it will get mad and smack you!
Ultra-moonIt lives in warm, shallow waters. If it encounters a foe, it will spit out its internal organs as a means to punch them.
SwordType Null
The heavy control mask it wears suppresses its intrinsic capabilities. This Pokémon has some hidden special power.
SunDue to the danger that this synthetic Pokémon may go on a rampage, it wears a control mask to restrain its power.
MoonA Pokémon weapon developed for a specific mission, it went berserk during an experiment, so it was cryogenically frozen.
Ultra-sunThere’s danger of its going on a rampage, so its true power is sealed away beneath its control mask.
Ultra-moonRumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the Galar region.
SwordIt was modeled after a mighty Pokémon of myth. The mask placed upon it limits its power in order to keep it under control.
ShieldSilvally
Its trust in its partner is what awakens it. This Pokémon is capable of changing its type, a flexibility that is well displayed in battle.
SunAlthough its name was Type: Null at first, the boy who evolved it into this form gave it the name by which it is now known.
MoonThis is its form once it has awakened and evolved. Freed from its heavy mask, its speed is greatly increased.
Ultra-sunThrough the bond it formed with its Trainer, its will was strengthened, and it was able to destroy its control mask.

MoonIt stays asleep from the moment it’s born. When it falls into a deep sleep, it stops moving altogether.
Ultra-sunIt remains asleep from birth to death as a result of the sedative properties of the leaves that form its diet.
Ultra-moonTurtonator
