[The Kanto regionis a region of the Pokémon world. It forms a joint landmass with the contiguous region of Johto, and is located south of the Sinnoh region. All cities in Kanto are named after colors (Viridian City, Lavender Town, Indigo Plateau, etc.), with the exception of Pallet Town. Professor Oak is the resident Pokémon Professor and gives Pokémon Trainers a choice between Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle as their starter Pokémon.Kanto is modern and technological, which is reflected in the look of the cities and the buildings like the Pokémon Lab of Cinnabar Island and the Power Plant. This fact is also reflected in Kanto being the only Pokémon region without any legends, myths, or traditions related to Pokémon, and being the centerpoint for innovation, with the Poké Ball's ultimate upgrade, the Master Ball, being recently invented by Silph Co. The Kanto region includes 28 different routes, which act as roads to cities and towns or points of interest. The Johto region follows Kanto's route number which ends at Route 28 in the Kanto region and begins with Johto's Route 29.]

Machamp are said to know every martial arts style in the world. It punches extremely quickly, throwing five hundred punches a second. With only one hand, it can move a mountain. Because of its four arms, it can hit from a multitude of angles and pin all of its foe's limbs down at once. Its arms also allow it to attack and defend simultaneously. The four arms react much faster than Machamp can think. However, it has poor dexterity, and cannot handle delicate work without its arms becoming tangled. The belt it wears restricts its muscle activity, but it can cause consequences if removed. Being the result of an evolution via trading, Machamp is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in the mountains.]

To maintain balance while swimming at high speeds, Wartortle moves its furry ears and tail as both rudders and balancing rods. Air can be stored in its fur for extended underwater diving. It hides in water when hunting and emerges to surprise its prey.]

[Squirtle is a Water-type Pokémon. Squirtle is one of three starter Pokémon of Kanto. Squirtle is a small Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle.

Each of its hands and feet have three pointed digits. The end of its long tail curls inward. Its body is encased by a tough shell that forms and hardens after birth. This shell is brown on the top, pale yellow on the bottom, and has a thick white ridge between the two halves. Squirtle's shell is a useful tool. It can withdraw into the shell for protection or to sleep. The grooved, rounded shape helps to reduce water resistance, allowing the Pokémon to swim at high speeds. Squirtle can spray foamy water from its mouth with great accuracy. Squirtle is scarce in the wild, although it can be found around small ponds and lakes.]

[Charmeleon is a Fire-type Pokémon. Charmeleon is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon. It has dark red scales and a cream underside from the chest down.

Beedrill is highly territorial. Beedrill live in colonies rather than true "hives", and they work together to solve basic problems regarding food, territory and reproduction. Disturbing one Beedrill will cause the whole colony to attack. It flies at high speed and attacks using the large venomous stingers on its forelegs and abdomen. The two stingers on its forelimbs allow it to use Twineedle. It will take the victims of its attacks back to its nest for food. Beedrill nests in temperate forests and misty wooded areas.]

[Charmander is a Fire-type Pokémon. Charmander is one of three starter Pokémon of Kanto. Charmander is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a primarily orange body and blue eyes. Its underside from the chest down and the soles of its feet are cream-colored. It has two small fangs visible in its upper jaw and two smaller fangs in its lower jaw. A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon's slender tail and has blazed there since Charmander's birth. The flame can be used as an indication of Charmander's health and mood, burning brightly when the Pokémon is strong, weakly when it is exhausted, wavering when it is happy, and blazing when it is enraged. It is said that Charmander dies if its flame goes out. However, if the Pokémon is healthy, the flame will continue to burn even if it gets a bit wet and is said to steam in the rain. Charmander can be found in hot, mountainous areas. However, it is found far more often in the ownership of Trainers.]

[Venusaur is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur using the Venusaurite. Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal Pokémon with bumpy, blue-green skin.

The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur will have a seed in the center of its flower. Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. Venusaur is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit grasslands.]

[Ivysaur is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon. Ivysaur is a quadrupedal Pokémon that has blue-green skin with darker patches.

Each of its feet has three claws on them. The bulb on its back has bloomed into a large pink bud. A short brown trunk surrounded by leafy green fronds supports the bud.

The weight of the plant prevents Ivysaur from running fast and standing on its hind legs and forces its legs to grow sturdy. When its flower is ready to bloom, it gives off a distinct, strong sweet-smelling aroma and starts swelling. Ivysaur will also start spending more time in sunlight in preparation for its upcoming evolution. Exposure to sunlight adds to the strength of both Ivysaur and its plant. Ivysaur's natural habitat is plains.]

[Pokemon Trainers capture Pokemon and battle other trainers and wild Pokemon with them. Trainers gain money from winning battles. Wild Pokemon are jealous of trained Pokemon, and will fight trainers who walk in the tall grass. Pokemon gain experience and power from battling. Trainers often take on Gyms to earn badges and fight in the Pokemon League to become a Pokemon master. When a Trainer locks eyes with another trainer, they are challenged to a battle. The winner gets money.]

[The world is filled with creatures known as Pokemon. Inherent to Pokemon are several fantastic powers not demonstrated by most real animals, such as the manipulation of elements/aspects of life, such as electricity or fire. Pokémon are shown to exist instead of animals. Pokemon can only say their name. Pokemon are based on animals, but more intelligent. Pokemon coexist with humans and can be caught, trained, and used in battles and other activities. Trainers, along with their Pokémon, travel across diverse lands aiming to make their dreams become reality, and the bond between Trainers and their Pokémon is often cited as the key to success. Pokemon gain power as they gain experience from battles. Each Pokemon has a type and and attack, some Pokemon are weak or strong against different types. Pokémon inhabit an extremely diverse range of habitats, ranging from the driest deserts to the lushest jungles, the deepest oceans to the highest mountains and everything else in-between, even outer space and other dimensions. Pokemon can be befriended and made into potential allies. Many Pokémon are able to evolve from or into other Pokémon. Pokémon typically know several techniques that they can use in battle or elsewhere, either to defend themselves or their Trainer, or to perform a task.]

Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. This lightning bolt is chipped on females. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from all its body and glows slightly in the dark. Raichu's tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity, it also protects Raichu from its own high voltage power. Raichu can store over 100,000 volts of electricity. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up and its muscles become stimulated. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity and stress. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. Being the result of evolution via Evolution stone, Raichu is rarely found in the wild.]

[Espeon is a Psychic-type Pokémon. It evolves from Eevee when leveled up with high friendship during the day. Espeon is a quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon with slender legs and dainty paws.

Jolteon's prickly fur is made of electrically charged needles and generates negatively charged ions, which create a sparking noise as it moves. Jolteon also has an electricity-generating organ in its lungs. The static electricity in Jolteon's fur amplifies the low-level electricity generated by its cells and allow it to discharge 10,000-volt lightning bolts. Jolteon is most often found in cities and towns under the ownership of Trainers. However, Jolteon's high-strung nature and tendency toward mood swings can make it difficult to train.]

A long-lived Magikarp is able to utilize its immense splashing power to leap high enough to scale mountains. It also has a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters. However, it is usually overlooked by Trainers because of its perceived weakness: even in the heat of battle, it will do nothing but flop around. It is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than modern Magikarp, and this led scientists to research this species. Magikarp is found in many bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. Due to its weak swimming ability, it usually lives downstream of the water's flow.]

[Gastly is a dual-type Ghost/Poison Pokémon. Gastly has no true form, due to 95% of its body being poisonous gas, with the other 5% believed to be made up of the souls of those who died from the gas. However, Gastly consistently appears as a black, spherical Pokémon surrounded by a purple haze. Gastly has a wide, pink mouth with two visible fangs.

It is said that an Onix that lives for about 100 years will evolve into a Steelix after its composition becomes more diamond-like. Inside Onix's brain is a magnet that serves as an internal compass, guiding Onix wherever they need to go and prevents them from getting lost while digging. Onix tunnels under the ground at over 50 miles per hour, which causes tremors and a terrifying roar that echoes a long way. Hard objects encountered while tunneling are absorbed into its body, which makes Onix very sturdy. Onix also consumes the boulders for food.

The claw regenerates over a short period. Krabby lives near the edge of water in both fresh and salt water. Krabby is most commonly found on beaches where it burrows in the sand. Krabby's main form of defense is creating foam to shroud its body, in order to confuse opponents into thinking that it is bigger than it actually is.]

[Kingler is a Water-type Pokémon. Kingler is a crustacean Pokémon resembling a crab. Kingler's strong shell covers the outside of its body, featuring a red upper half and a light tan lower half. Kingler's upper half is topped with six tall, thin spikes that resemble a crown. Kingler's light tan arms are also connected to its upper body. Its lower half doubles as its jaw with six fangs overlapping its upper body. Its two outer fangs are much larger than the inner four and are roughly half as tall as Kingler's entire body. Kingler's hips visibly protrude from its lower body and connect to its four long, thin legs. Each leg has a single, claw-like foot. Kingler's main features are its orange pincers. Its left claw is roughly twice as large as the other and is as hard as steel. Kingler is often found on the edges of water, usually the ocean. Kingler's powerful claws have 10,000 horsepower and are capable of prying open shells. While Kingler's large, left claw is its main tool for offensive maneuvers, it is so large and heavy that Kingler can barely lift it. It has been shown to communicate with other Kingler by waving its pincers around.]

[Voltorb is an Electric-type Pokémon. Voltorb is a spherical Pokémon that resembles a Poké Ball with eyes and minus the button. The top half is red, while the bottom half is white. Because of its resemblance to Poké Balls, it is thought that Voltorb was created when one was exposed to an energy pulse. This is supported by the fact that Voltorb's components do not occur naturally. Voltorb is generally found in power plants and other areas with electric fields where it feeds. Voltorb was first discovered in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. Voltorb has a volatile temperament and will explode if agitated or bumped by the slightest contact.]

[Electrode is an Electric-type Pokémon. Electrode is a round Pokémon resembling an upside-down Poké Ball with a mouth and eyes. Electrode's top half is white, while its lower half is red. For this reason, many Trainers try to pick Electrode up, mistaking it for an item. Many know Electrode by the nickname "Bomb Ball", due to its unpredictable and explosive nature. Electrode tends to live in power plants where fresh electricity is being generated, which it consumes. As a result, Electrode often causes blackouts. The more electric energy Electrode consumes, the faster it moves. Electrode explodes in response to even the smallest stimulation, simply to entertain itself, or because it has taken in too much electricity. But unlike Voltorb, Electrode can control its explosive ability at will. When full of stored electricity, Electrode has been known to drift with the wind.]

[Exeggcute is a dual-type Grass/Psychic. Exeggcute is a Pokémon resembling six light pink eggs, usually seen arranged with five heads huddled around a sixth.

Each Exeggcute shell has some cracks, and one member of the bundle usually has its yellow insides or brain exposed. More numerous cracks are a sign that it is close to evolution. Despite looking like eggs, Exeggcute is actually more closely related to plant seeds. Exeggcute gathers in swarms of six. Exeggcute's heads communicate with each other by using a form of telepathy that only they can understand. Should the number of Exeggcute be reduced to less than six, the remaining Exeggcute will attempt to replace it with a similarly sized Pokémo. It needs six Exeggcute in order to stay balanced or else it becomes nervous and cowardly. Exeggcute inhabits jungles and forests.]

[Exeggutor is a dual-type Grass/Psychic Pokemon. Exeggutor is a tall, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a palm tree. Exeggutor's body and legs are light brown with thin black rings and its legs are thick with two-toed feet. There light yellow paw pad on each foot's underside.Exeggutor has thin, green leaves sprouting from the top of its body. Exeggutor has three to six round, light yellow heads that resemble coconuts, each with differing facial expressions. Exeggutor's heads think independently and don't appear interested in one another, so it makes a lot of noise as each head speaks its mind. They still appear to get along, though, for they never squabble amongst themselves. If all the heads want to go in a different direction, Exeggutor's body is unable to move. They are able to communicate telepathically as well and sometimes use it to come to a joint decision. Exeggutor uses psychic powers to fight, and since all three heads are capable its power is tripled. Exeggutor has been referred to as The Walking Jungle. Exeggutor can be sluggish during cloudy days due to the lack of sunlight. Being the result of an evolution via Evolution stone, Exeggutor is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in forests and jungles.]

[Cubone is a Ground-type Pokémon. Cubone is a small, bipedal, dinosaur-like Pokémon with a light brown hide that covers most of its body, except for its cream-colored belly. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as Cubone's thumbs, and one large nail on each foot make up its toes. It has two small spikes on its back and a short tail. On its head, Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother as a helmet. The skull has two rounded horns on the top of its head and a tooth-like point on the lower sides. Under the skull, Cubone has a brown snout. The small Cubone survives only through the immense skill it possesses in wielding the bone it carries as a weapon. Cubone is called the Lonely Pokémon because of its tendency to keep to itself and avoid social situations, due to the trauma caused by the death of its mother. Cubone will often weep at night in mourning of its mother. When Cubone cries, the skull that it wears on its head vibrates and emits "a plaintive and mournful sound." Cubone seems to recognize its mother in the full moon, and so it howls with a particular sadness. It is said a Cubone will evolve into a Marowak once it comes terms with its mother's death. Cubone lives in rocky areas, usually on mountains or in caves.]

[Marowak is a Ground-type Pokémon. Marowak is a bipedal Pokémon with light brown skin and a cream-colored underside. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as Marowak's thumbs, and one large nail on each foot make up its toes. Marowak has a short tail with a small spike near the tip. Marowak's head is composed of the skull it once wore as a mask. Marowak can no longer remove the skull, which has become part of its body. The skull has two pointed spikes on the back similar to ears and tiny nostrils on the tip of the snout. Marowak's triangular, brown eyes are also located in the skull. Marowak is well known for ferocity with its bone club, which it is said to collect from a hidden graveyard. Marowak has overcome the grief of its mother's passing. Now ferocious and violent, Marowak is an adept combatant that uses the bone it carries as a weapon and a boomerang. Marowak has also been recorded pounding on boulders with the bone club it carries in order to tap out messages to others. Marowak lives in mountains to test its skills.]

[Shellder is a Water-type Pokémon. It evolves into Cloyster when exposed to a Water Stone. Shellder is a black pearl-like Pokémon encased within a spiky, blue-violet bivalve shell. It has two round white eyes with tiny black pupils. Shellder's enormously long red tongue is used to burrow itself into the sand to sleep overnight and also to lure and capture prey. The tongue protrudes even when its shell is closed and tugging it will cause the shell to pop open. Shellder's soft and tender body is well-protected by its extremely durable shell, which is purported to be harder than diamonds and has historically been used by people to make shields. Shellder can make pearls from accumulated sand, though it discards them as they are typically in its way. Shellder has an unusually strong appetite for the tail of a Slowpoke and can develop a symbiotic relationship with the Dopey Pokémon.]

[Muk is a Poison-type Pokémon. Muk is a large, sticky, amorphous Pokémon made of living purple sludge. Muk has two small eyes with beady black pupils. It also has an enormous mouth with a gray tongue and strands of ooze connecting its top and bottom jaws. While Muk has no visible legs, it does have two arms with three fingers on each hand. However, Muk typically keeps one hand tucked in while it extends the other hand. Muk is a living biohazard, leaking toxins that instantly kill all plant life it touches. Even it being in close proximity to plants will cause them to wilt and die. Extreme caution is advised in avoiding any contact with Muk, as an accidental brush up can lead to severe sickness. The effects of Muk can leave the landscape barren for three years. Muk will readily consume nearly any waste or refuse generated by people and Pokémon alike. Muk can be found in heavily polluted bodies of water, cities and factories. However, Muk's population has declined due to recent environmental improvements and extermination efforts.]

[Grimer is a Poison-type Pokémon. Grimer is a slimy, amorphous Pokémon whose body was animated because of lunar radiation. Grimer has two large eyes with beady pupils and a gaping mouth with a gray tongue. While Grimer lacks any visible legs, it does have two arms with three digits on each hand. Grimer's purple sludge body contains a variety of pungent bacteria, which are so potent that it renders soil barren and incapable of supporting plant life. Grimer is constantly oozing a bacteria-rich fluid from all parts of its body. Pieces of Grimer often break off during travel and go on to become new Grimer. When combined with another Grimer, it produces new poisonous compounds. Due to its lack of a solid form, Grimer is capable of squeezing into any space or crevices with relative ease. It uses this to penetrate sewage pipes and feed off of the filthy wastewater inside. Its population fluctuates based on the availability of waste. Grimer can be found in polluted lakes and streams, as well as within cities and factories where trash and industrial waste can be found.]

[Dewgong is a dual-type Water/Ice Pokémon. Dewgong is a pinniped Pokémon with a snowy white, furry body. Dewgong's fur renders it virtually invisible in snowy conditions. Its face has two black eyes, a black nose, and two tusks extending from its upper jaw. Dewgong has a streamlined body with two front flippers and a long flowing tail. Even in extremely cold and ice-packed waters, Dewgong's tail allows it to be a swift and agile swimmer at speeds of 8 knots. On top of Dewgong's head is a sharp horn, which allows it to cut through the thickest ice floes. Dewgong lives on icebergs adrift in frigid ocean waters. Dewgong thrives in lower temperatures, becoming increasingly more active the colder the weather. By storing thermal energy within its body, it is completely unharmed by even the most intense freezing weather. Following a meal, Dewgong sunbathes on the beach. This raises its body temperature and aids in digestion.]

[Weepinbell is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon. Weepinbell is a plant Pokémon with a yellow, bell-shaped body. Above Weepinbell's circular eyes are three small green spots and a small, brown hook-shaped stem. It has wide, gaping mouth with pink lips. On each side of its body is a large, green leaf. Weepinbell camouflages itself as a plant in the forest whilst awaiting an unwary victim. When its prey draws near it sprays poison powder to immobilize the target before melting it with its internal acids. It oozes a neutralizing fluid that prevents these internal acids from melting its own body. It will also slice its prey too large to consume into pieces with its razor-sharp leaves. Weepinbell live in temperate forests and jungles where it hangs from tree branches by its stem to sleep. If it moves around during sleep, Weepinbell may slip and awaken to find itself on the ground.]

[Victreebel is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon. Victreebel is a plant Pokémon with a bell-shaped body. It has a gaping mouth with pink lips and two sharp teeth. Victreebel's semicircular eyes appear directly under its mouth and it has several dark green spots on its body. On either side of Victreebel's body is a large green leaf. Covering Victreebel's mouth is a leaf with a long, brown, yellow-tipped vine growing out of it. The vine is flicked to mimic an animal in order to attract prey. Victreebel also produces a sweet scent to further aid in luring its victims. Acid that has dissolved numerous prey animals becomes sweeter and even more effective at attracting prey. Victreebel can be found in small groups and is territorial. Victreebel hoards food, usually small birds and rodents, and collects Leaf Stones to perform evolution rituals at night to help Weepinbell become more Victreebel.]

[Tentacool is a dual-type Water/Poison Pokémon. Tentacool is a small, jellyfish-like Pokémon. It has a light blue, clear body with two large, transparent, red crystals on each side of its body and one small one in the middle. Near the base of its body is a pointed, beak-like projection and two eyes with small pupils. There are two grayish tentacles extending from beneath its round lower body, which has a cape-like formation on the back. Tentacool's entire body is made of 99% water, and the remaining 1% contains the organ that produces its poison. It absorbs sunlight and refracts it using the water inside its body to convert it into beam energy. Its tentacles are laced with stinging cells and, as seen in the anime, it can control Pokémon it touches with its tentacles. The tentacles break off occasionally, but they can regenerate. The poison from its tentacles is so potent, that someone would need to be immediately rushed to the hospital. Tentacool is not a very strong swimmer, traveling throughout the world using ocean currents. Tentacool searches for food while drifting on the surface of shallow seas. Tentacool can blend in the water, making it very difficult to spot. It will sometimes wash ashore and shrivel up due to dehydration, though it remains equally as dangerous. Tentacool may be revived if thrown back into the sea.]

[Tentacruel is a dual-type Water/Poison Pokémon. Tentacruel is a large, jellyfish-like Pokémon. Tentacruel has a clear, light blue body that has two large, red orbs on either side and smaller orb in the center. Tentacruel's eyes are visible in its round lower body, which is black. Extending from Tentacruel's lower body are two blue, beak-like appendages and numerous grayish tentacles. Tentacruel's red orbs glow whenever it is excited or agitated, communicating with its own kind, and it may alert others to danger by stridently flashing them. They are also capable of refracting sunlight, storing energy, and firing ultrasonic waves. Tentacruel's primarily light blue body helps it camouflage in the water. Tentacruel has a total of 80 tentacles, which it can readily extend during hunts to ensnare its prey in a net-like shape before immobilizing it with poison. The tentacles can grow or shrink with ease. Tentacruel's tentacles can absorb water to stretch even further. Most of these tentacles are hidden and kept short, leaving up to 14 exposed. However, Tentacruel tends to lose tentacles as it ages. While Tentacruel are rarely seen, they can gather in large groups which scares away any nearby fish Pokémon. Tentacruel lives in underwater rock formations and can be found throughout the ocean.]

[Geodude is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon. Geodude is a gray boulder Pokémon. Geodude has bulging, rocky eyebrows, trapezoidal, brown eyes and a wide mouth. Geodude's arms are muscular with five-fingered hands. Geodude uses its arms to climb steadily up steep mountain paths. It is proud of its sturdy body and will bash against others of its kind in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. The longer it lives, the more chipped and worn its body becomes. Eventually, Geodude will be completely smooth and round. As a result of their physical appearance, Rhyperior sometimes mistake this Pokémon for actual boulders and fire them through their hands. Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails and fields. It will sit still in these areas, which is why it is often mistaken for a rock. It is often stepped on and will sometimes swing its arms in anger when this occurs. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. Once buried, it will not awaken even if someone steps on it. In the morning, Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.]

[Graveler is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon. Graveler is a bipedal, boulder Pokémon. Graveler's round body is covered with small bumps and it has a rocky crest above its small eyes and mouth. Graveler has four arms, each with a three-fingered hand. Graveler's second pair of arms is typically kept tucked against its chest. Graveler was shown in Pokémon Snap that, despite having legs, it can revert to a legless form. This grants it the ability to float. Graveler's preferred locomotion is rolling, specifically because it is a slow walker. Graveler often rolls down mountain paths at high speeds, crushing objects in the way and stopping by running into huge rocks. However, Graveler will explode if it rolls into a river instead. If Graveler breaks or shatters, it has the ability to restore itself over time. Graveler climbs a mountain from base to summit, feasting on rocks all the while. Upon reaching the peak, it rolls down to the bottom. Graveler can be often found on mountain trails.]

[Golem is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon. Golem is a bipedal tortoise-like Pokémon with a spherical body covered by a shell of plated, green rocks. Golem's body is so hard that even dynamite cannot scratch it. Its head protrudes from the center of the shell. The head has a flat snout with two pointed teeth in the lower jaw and red eyes. Golem has short arms that have three claws and two legs with feet that have four claws in front and one in back. The head and limbs are light brown in color. Golem grows bigger by shedding its skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens when exposed to air, crumbling away and returning to the soil. However, it stops shedding with age and moss grows over its shell. Golem is able to withdraw its head and limbs into its shell and roll at high speeds. It is dangerous when doing this, as it is unable to see and may crash into or run over anything in its path. To prevent it from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves are dug into the sides of the mountains to divert the rolling Golem's course. Golem is seldom seen in the wild, however, it can be found living in mountainous regions.]

[Cloyster is a dual-type Water/Ice Pokémon. Cloyster is a black, pearl-like Pokémon. Cloyster is encased inside a light-gray shell, which is surrounded by a second jagged, blue-violet outer shell casing. Cloyster has one barb-like spike protruding from above its head, and multiple conical horns on its outer shell. Its shell is harder than diamond with spikes that are even harder; harsh tidal currents will affect the size and sharpness of these spikes. On its pearl-like face, Cloyster has two white eyes and a mouth. Aside from its face and head, its internal anatomy has never been seen. Once it has shut itself in, it is impossible to open its shell from the outside. This impressive defense allows Cloyster to withstand anything from a bomb blast to even a missile strike. The same projectile system it uses to launch its spikes is also used for swimming. Cloyster swallows seawater and then ejects it towards the rear propelling it through with siphon-jet propulsion. Being the result of an evolution via Evolution stone, Cloyster is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in the sea floor, nestled among the rocks and coral, but it will actively hunt on land for Slowpoke tails.]

[Metapod is a Bug-type Pokémon. Metapod is a Pokémon that resembles a green chrysalis. Its body is crescent-shaped with several segments making up the lower point. The front of Metapod's shell resembles a face with heavy-lidded eyes and a sharply pointed nose. The back of its shell consists of several geometrically shaped portions and projections. Metapod's soft body is protected by a hard outer shell while it undergoes metamorphosis. While this shell is said to be as hard as steel, a sudden, powerful impact could cause its liquid innards to pop out, leaving it completely exposed. Metapod generally remains motionless, rebuilding its cells for evolution. If an enemy discovers Metapod, it is unable to do anything other than harden its outer shell. Metapod lives in temperate forests and jungles.]

[Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon. Mewtwo can Mega Evolve. Mewtwo is a Pokémon created by science. Mewtwo is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon with some feline features. Mewtwo is primarily gray with a long, purple tail. On top of Mewtwo's head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of Mewtwo's skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. Mewtwo has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Mewtwo's tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb. Mewtwo was created after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments based on Mew. It is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lack compassion, and strike fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. In the first movie, where it was shown to be capable of levitation, telepathy, and mind control, Mewtwo exemplified these vicious characteristics. However, it was later shown to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting in a dark cave somewhere. ]

[Slowpoke is a dual-type Water/Psychic Pokémon. Slowpoke is a pink Pokémon that resembles a cross between a salamander and a hippopotamus. Slowpoke has vacant eyes that never seem focused, curled ears, and a rounded, tan muzzle. Slowpoke has four legs, each of which ends in a single white claw. Slowpoke's long, tapering tail has a white tip. This tail drips a sweet, sappy substance that is attractive to many species of fish. Slowpoke uses the tail as a fishing lure. The tail often breaks off, but it will grow back. In Alola, Slowpoke's tail is often dried and used in home-cooked stews. Slowpoke has a notoriously dim intellect and often forgets what it was doing. It takes a long time to respond to outside stimuli. For example, Slowpoke can take up to five seconds to process pain and can take an entire day to notice when its tail has been bitten. Slowpoke is commonly found at the water's edge. In some places, it is believed that Slowpoke's yawn causes rain.]

[Dragonite is a dual-type Dragon/Flying pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Dragonite is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon with light orange skin.

The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body with teal wing membranes. Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. A kindhearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. Dragonite will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically living near the sea. Some claim that there is an island somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.]

[Dragonair is a Dragon-type Pokémon. Dragonair is a long, serpentine Pokémon with sky blue scales and a white underside.

On each side of Dragonair's head is a small, stylized wing, which is white and curves into a swirl at the base. Three blue, crystal orbs adorn Dragonair's body: one on its neck and two on its tail. Dragonair emits a gentle aura that gives it a mystical appearance. Dragonair can make its wings grow larger in order to fly, but otherwise moves through the air unaided. Dragonair hosts a large amount of energy within its body, which it can discharge through the crystals on its neck and tail. This causes its body to brighten and give off a different aura that changes the weather in its vicinity. As a result, Dragonair has been referred as a divine Pokémon since ancient times by agricultural people. Dragonair is a rare Pokémon that inhabits pristine seas and lakes. The lakes Dragonair lives in are usually filled with offerings from people in gratitude.]

[Dratini is a Dragon-type Pokémon. Dratini is a serpentine Pokémon with a blue body and a white underside. Dratini has white, three-pronged fins on the sides of its head and a white bump on its forehead, which is its horn growing. Above Dratini's round, white snout are oval, purple eyes. Dratini's life energy is constantly building so it is always growing, and can reach lengths of over six feet. As it grows, Dratini sheds its skin regularly and hides behind a rapid waterfall during the process. The shed skin of Draitni can be used to create super luxury boots. Dratini lives a quiet life underwater, eating any food that sinks down to the bottom. Dratini was originally thought to be nothing more than a myth.]

When Zapdos flaps its glittering wings, it releases electricity that can potentially cause thunderstorms. Zapdos produces massive crackling and snapping sounds when it flies; these are attributed to the lightning bolts it sheds when airborne. Zapdos reportedly appears only during thunderstorms and gains power when struck by lightning. Zapdos is said to live among thunderclouds, but it is rarely seen.]

Aerodactyl's fangs can also tear through any skin of a Pokémon to pieces, especially Steel-type Pokémon. By spreading its wings, Aerodactyl is believed to have flown by gliding through the skies, freely letting out its high-pitched cries. Aerodactyl liked to nest in the mountains, where it enjoyed both safety and seclusion.]

[Kabutops is a dual-type Rock/Water Fossil Pokémon. Kabutops is a bipedal Pokémon with a skeletal build. It has a flat, half-circular head with a point on each side and two small eyes on the front.

Instead of hands, Kabutops's forearms have large, sharp, gray scythes. Kabutops's thin legs are brown lead to small feet with two large gray claws. Before it went extinct, Kabutops was in the process of evolving into a land dweller as evident by changes in its gills and legs. This change is thought to be due to its prey moving onto land as well. In its ocean home Kabutops could tuck up its limbs to help it swim extremely fast, up to roughly 29 knots. It used its sharp scythes to slice enemies and drink their internal fluids. It is unknown to what led to Kabutops's extinction.]

[Kabuto is a dual-type Rock/Water Fossil Pokémon. Kabuto is a small Pokémon resembling a horseshoe crab. Kabuto is mostly flat with a protective, brown shell covering its body. There are two small, black eyes on top of its shell, which it uses for sight when it hides on the ocean floor. Underneath the shell is a black space that hides the structure of its main body. Only its four short, yellow legs and a second pair of luminescent red eyes are visible on its underside. In its original time, Kabuto was prominently found on beaches, likely aided by its fast and powerful swimming ability. While it is commonly believed to be extinct, isolated populations of Kabuto have been found to be unchanged for 300 million years.]

If attacked or threatened, Omanyte quickly withdraws into its hard shell. Omanyte is considered extinct, although it can be revived from Fossils. Omanyte's fossils have been excavated in areas that were once oceans long ago. Omanyte regulated its buoyancy by storing and releasing air within its shell and controlled direction by twisting its tentacles. Omantye can now be found in the wild due to being released by people or escaping after being restored back to life, causing this species to become a problem.]

[Porygon is a Normal-type Pokémon. Porygon is a Pokémon made completely out of programming code. Porygon has a pink, polyhedral head that ends in a blue beak and has hexagonal eyes and it has a pink polyhedral body with a blue front, blue triangular prism feet, and a blue rectangular prism tail. Porygon has copy protection built into its code, preventing duplication through electronic means. Porygon was created 20 years ago at the Pokémon Lab on Cinnabar Island using the latest state-of-the-art technology of its time, so many of its parts have since become obsolete. Porygon was the first artificial Pokémon to have ever been created through computer programming. Due to its man-made origins, Porygon does not need to breathe or eat, though it can still accept food if given. Porygon has the ability to convert its body into digital data, allowing it to travel through cyberspace. Recently, it has become more helpful inside cyberspace by searching for any suspicious data that exists. Porygon can use Conversion to change its appearance to mimic another Pokémon's and has also demonstrated the ability to change color for camouflage. Because it is man-made, Porygon is generally found in computers or in labs and other buildings where people work.]

Gyarados's tail fin is similar in structure to the crest on its head, except with a thin, white fin spread between the points. The process of evolution causes a change in its brain structure that is believed to cause its violent nature. Gyarados's fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel. Gyarados is feared for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. Gyarados appears in times of conflict and destroys the surrounding area. Its rampages have been known to last a month at a time. Gyarados lives in both fresh and salty waters. Gyarados is rarely seen in the wild.]

[Koffing is a Poison-type Pokémon. Koffing is a spherical Pokémon filled with toxic gases. Koffing has vacant eyes and a wide mouth that usually has two pointed teeth in the upper jaw. However, a full set of teeth has been seen in the anime. Below its face is a cream-colored skull-and-crossbones marking. Several geyser-like protrusions, which usually release a mustard-colored gas, cover Koffing's Pokémon's body. Koffing's purple skin is very thin, and over-inflation can cause it to explode. Koffing creates gases within its body by mixing toxins with garbage, and produces more gas in higher temperatures. Koffing's gases are malodorous and cause sniffles, coughs, and teary eyes to those around them. The gases are also lighter than air, allowing Koffing to hover. When agitated, Koffing creates a more toxic gas and expels it through the holes in its body. Koffing's gas can be ignited by fire or electricity. Koffing feeds on the fumes of raw, rotting trash found in gas dumps and polluted air. Koffing is most often found in urban areas.]

[Hitmonchan is a Fighting-type Pokémon. Hitmonchan is a tan, humanoid Pokémon that is exclusively male and has no female counterpart. There are five blunt protrusions on top of its head, and Hitmonchan has structures resembling pads over its shoulders. Hitmonchan appears to be wearing a light purple tunic and kilt, as well as red boxing gloves and light purple boxing shoes. In-between the tunic and kilt is a small, black area. As its appearance suggests, Hitmonchan specializes in punching. It is able to throw punches that are too quick to be seen with the naked eye. Hitmonchan's punches are said to be as fast as a bullet train. By punching with a corkscrew motion, Hitmonchan is even capable of drilling through concrete. Even a light gaze from Hitmonchan's punches will result in a burn. However, Hitmonchan requires a break every three minutes while fighting. Despite the need for frequent breaks, Hitmonchan has an unwavering spirit and will never give up in a difficult situation. Usually found in urban areas, Hitmonchan is rarely seen in the wild.]

[Mew is a Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon. Mew is a pink, bipedal Pokémon with mammalian features. Mew has a rounded, wide snout; triangular ears; and large, blue eyes. Mew has short arms with three-fingered paws and large hind paws with oval markings on the soles. Mew's tail is long and thin with an ovoid tip. Mew's fur is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. Mew is said to have the DNA of every single Pokémon contained within its body, allowing Mew to learn and use any attack. Mew shows signs of intelligence, curiosity, shyness, playfulness, and even selflessness. Mew is incredibly adaptable, able to travel freely in the air or underwater. Mew can create a orb of energy around itself for protection. Since Mew can make itself invisible at will, very few people have knowingly seen it, leading some scientists to declare it extinct and most to assume it to be a mirage. Mew will only show itself to a person who is pure of heart.]

[Rapidash is a Fire-type Pokémon. Rapidash is an equine Pokémon with cream-colored fur and a pointed horn on its forehead. Rapidash has small, red eyes and triangular ears with reddish interiors.

Flames are also present on its fetlocks. It has slender legs, each with a single black hoof. Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. Rapidash runs at about 150 mph, chasing everything that moves in hopes of racing it. With incredible acceleration, Rapidash reaches its top speed in only ten steps. At full gallop, Rapidash's hooves barely touch the ground. The faster Rapidash goes, the longer the swaying flames of its mane will become. At an all-out gallop, Rapidash's blazing mane sparkles, a feature that is said to enhance its beautiful appearance. Rapidash lives in grasslands, but it can also be seen on mountains.]

[Seel is a Water-type Pokémon. Seel is a pinniped Pokémon with a thick hide covered in bluish-white fur. Seel has a pale tan maw with a large red tongue and a pair of tusks on its lower jaw. Seel has circular eyes and a black nose that is capable of closing when it swims. There is a small horn on Seel's forehead, which it uses in combination with its tusks to bore through ice floes. Seel has two flippers on its chest, and two more on the end of its tail. Seel lives on icebergs in frigid ocean waters. Its warm fur and thick hide allow it to swim in waters as cold as -40° Fahrenheit. Seel thrives in these cold environments, becoming more active as the temperature drops and tires easily in warm waters. Preferring to sleep during the day, Seel hunts for prey under sheets of ice in the late day and evening hours. While it is a graceful swimmer, Seel is awkward and struggles to move on dry land.]

[Dodrio s a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon. Dodrio is a large, wingless, three-headed avian Pokémon. Each Dodrio head has a long, sharp beak and a black V-shaped, feather crest. Dodrio has bristly brown feathers covering its heads and upper body, while its lower half has a smooth layer of black feathers. Dodrio's tail consists of three pale red feathers with lighter tips. Dodrio's wingless body rests on two long and slender, but powerful legs with feet that have three clawed toes in front and one in back. A male Dodrio has black necks, whereas a female has brown necks; both genders have brown legs. Each Dodrio head has its own working brain and distinct personality and each head represents and expresses either sorrow, anger, or joy. Despite being separate, Dodrio has the innate ability to use all three of its brains to collect data, formulate, and then execute complex plans and strategies. However, on occasion it may overthink, which causes it to become immobilized and unable to carry out any action whatsoever. Being separate individuals on the same body, the three heads will continue to bicker until they, or at least one of them, gets to eat. This satisfies the other two heads, quelling them and temporarily ending their infighting. Another form of adaptation that Dodrio has acquired is the ability to have at least one head alert at all times. Along with its three heads, Dodrio has three sets of hearts and lungs as well. Dodrio is especially prone to race vigorously across grassy plains, even in arid seasons with little rainfall.]

[Doduo is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon. Doduo is a two-headed, bipedal avian Pokémon. Each head has a long sharp beak and two beady black eyes. Doduo has a bristly, down-like covering of brown feathers on its body and both heads. A male Doduo has black flexible necks, whereas a female has brown necks; both genders have brown legs. Each Doduo foot has four digits ending in a sharp claw. Both heads have an identical brain. However, it is believed that on occasion Doduo may possess different brains. It is also theorized that the two Doduo heads communicate with some form of telepathy for coordination. Even when sleeping or nourishing itself with food and water, one Doduo head is always awake and alert and keeps a keen eye out for enemies. Due to its almost non-existent wings, Doduo cannot fly very well. However, Doduo has developed legs that make it a powerful runner. Reaching speeds of 60 mph (96.5 km/h), it energetically strides across the plains leaving large 4 inch (10.6 centimeter) deep footprints behind it. By raising and lowering its two heads, Doduo is better able to maintain balance while running. Doduo lives in wide open plains, grasslands, and savannahs.]

[Magneton is a dual-type Electric/Steel Pokémon. Magneton is a robot-like Pokémon, the result of three Magnemite becoming linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when no other Magnemite are in the vicinity. Each individual Magnemite has a gray spherical body with a single eye, a gray and red-and-blue tipped horseshoe magnet on each side. The topmost Magnemite has three Phillips head screws on its body, while the others appear to have only two. The three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked in several ways. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked by the screws on the bottom, forming a triangle. Being composed of three Magnemite, it is about three times as powerful electrically, though not three times as intelligent. Even though Magneton is a mechanical creature, it still has the need to eat. It is usually found in rough terrain, often near power plants. When sunspots flare up, Magneton tends to appear more often, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field. When rain clouds form, it also gathers in high areas prone to lightning strikes.]

[Magnemite is a dual-type Electric/Steel Pokémon. Magnemite is a seemingly robotic Pokémon that has a gray, spherical metal body with blue-and-red tipped horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three Phillips head screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body and the one on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. Even though Magnemite are mechanical creatures it has emotions and a way of reproducing. Magnemite is commonly found in locations such as power plants or caves with a strong magnetic field. The magnetic units on Magnemite's body generate an electromagnetic field that allows it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive but they may approach Trainers with little notice. If a wild Magnemite is approached, it may simply flee on rare occasions, as Magnemite does not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will retaliate with non-damaging moves. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. Should it run out of electricity, Magnemite will fall to the ground. Usually, batteries can help recharge it in order for Magnemite to start moving again. Magnemite can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a Pokétch. It has even been shown to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. With modern electrical lines buried underground, Magnemite attacks on power plants have increased. To prevent power outages, these power plants deliberately send out signals Magnemite cannot stand to ward them off. ]

[Slowbro is a dual-type Water/Psychic Pokémon. Slowbro is a bipedal, pink Pokémon with a tan, striped belly and a rounded, tan muzzle. Slowbro has large, vacant eyes, curled ears, and two small pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. Slowbro has three clawed fingers on its hands and two clawed toes on its feet. There is a Shellder attached to its tail. This Shellder has a gray, spiral shell with darker gray spots and small, triangular eyes near the base. There are several spikes across the surface of the Shellder, and it holds onto Slowbro with many sharp teeth. Shellder developed its spiral form in an effort to suck more sweetness out of Slowbro's tail. If its tail or the Shellder attached to it is broken off, Slowbro will revert to its unevolved form, Slowpoke. Slowbro has lost the capability to feel pain due to the Shellder's poison. While typically lazy and unintelligent, Slowbro apparently becomes inspired when the Shellder bites down on its tail. While Slowbro is capable of unleashing powerful psychic attacks, Slowbro is typically rather peaceful and usually prefers not to fight. Because Slowbro can no longer fish using its tail, it instead swims to catch its prey and allows the Shellder to feed on its leftover scraps. Slowbro tends to live near ponds, lakes, and seashores.]

[Ponyta is a Fire-type Pokémon. Ponyta is an equine Pokémon with cream-colored fur. Ponyta has brown eyes and triangular ears with reddish interiors. Yellow and reddish-orange flames form Ponyta's mane and tail. The mane forms a short crest on top of Ponyta's head and a short strip down its back to its tail. The fire appears about an hour after hatching. Ponyta has four long legs, each ending in a single, gray hoof. These hooves are said to be ten times harder than diamond and act as shock absorbers. Ponyta are relatively lightweight for their size, having extraordinary jumping abilities and capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound. However, a newborn Ponyta is a weak runner and is actually barely able to stand. Ponyta gradually strengthens its legs and becomes faster by chasing after its parents. Ponyta can control its flames so that its rider is not burned by them. Ponyta live in grasslands, on plains, or anywhere that it can run freely.]

[Butterfree is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon. Butterfree is a Pokémon which resembles a vaguely anthropomorphic butterfly with a purple body. Butterfree has two body segments and four light blue legs. The upper pair of legs resemble small, three-fingered hands, while the lower pair resembles long, digit-less feet.

Its two pairs of wings are white with black venation. Two oval scales on a female Butterfree's lower wings are black, but they are white on a male. The wings of Butterfree are coated with poisonous scales that easily fall off continuously as it flies. If inhaled, it results in several status conditions. It will defend Caterpie from bird Pokémon using this powder. This powder also repels water, enabling it to gather honey even in the rain. Butterfree can use its sensitive antenna to detect the odors of blooming flowers six miles from its nest in search of nectar, which it carries with the hairs of its legs. Butterfree is found in temperate forests and jungles, but it has also been observed flying near the ocean as part of its migratory breeding pattern.]

[Weedle is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon. Weedle is a larval Pokémon with a segmented body ranging in color from yellow to reddish-brown. Each segment of its body is a sphere. It has a bulbous red nose, two small, black eyes on its face and two spherical feet on each body segment.

It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of its plantigrade feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame. Charizard flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains experience. Its fiery breath is capable of melting boulders and massive glaciers, and has been known to accidentally cause forest fires. Charizard typically inhabits mountains and valleys, such as the Charicific Valley in Johto. Charizard can swim underwater the flame on the tip of the tail can still keep burning underwater. The wings of Charizard can carry to an altitude of 4,600 feet.]

[Nidoqueen is a dual-type Poison/Ground Pokémon. Nidoqueen evolves from Nidorina when exposed to a Moon Stone. Nidoqueen is a female-only species. Nidoqueen is a large, bipedal blue Pokémon with distinct reptilian features.

There is a small horn on Nidoqueen's forehead, a single spine on each ear, and a line of toxic spikes running down the length of its back. Each hand has three short claws and each foot was two claws. Its lower jaw, the front of its abdomen, and two plates on its chest are cream-colored. Nidoqueen has a thick, powerful tail. Nidoqueen can be quite fierce and is very protective of its young. This Pokémon is at its strongest when it is defending its young, and it will try to seal the entrance to its burrow to protect them. It also places it young on its gaps between its gap spikes which never relate poison when the children are placed on it. Nidoqueen is more adaptive at being defensive than offensive. Nidoqueen's scales like armor allow it to defend its children from any attack. When in contact with foes, it can poison them with the spikes from its back or cause small tremors by slamming the ground. Nidoqueenis also adept at sending foes flying with harsh tackles and it uses its hefty bulk to execute powerful moves. Being the result of an evolution via Evolution stone, Nidoqueen is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in savannas and plains.]

[Nidorina is a Poison-type Pokémon. Nidorina evolves from Nidoran♀. Nidorina is a quadrupedal, light-blue Pokémon with dark-blue patches.

It has circular eyes with large pseudopupils. Red-and-yellow mushrooms known as tochukaso grow on Paras' back. The mushrooms can be removed at any time and grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its mother's back. Tochukaso are parasitic in nature, drawing their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow and exerting some command over the Pokémon's actions. For example, Paras drains nutrients from tree roots due to commands from the mushrooms. The mushrooms are also popular among collectors and have medicinal uses, usually involving extended life.]

[Venonat is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon. Venonat is an insectoid Pokémon with a spherical body covered in purple fur.

A pink pincer-like mouth with two teeth, stubby forepaws, and a pair of two-toed feet are visible through its fur. Its limbs are light tan. There is also a pair of white antennae sprouting from the top of its head. However, the most prominent feature on its face are its large, red compound eyes. Venonat's highly developed eyes act as radar units and can shoot powerful beams. Venonat can be found in dense temperate forests, where it will sleep in the hole of a tree until nightfall. It sleeps throughout the day because the small insects it feeds on appear only at night. Both Venonat and its prey are attracted to bright lights.]

[Glaceon is an Ice-type Pokémon. Glaceon is a quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon covered in light-blue fur that can be frozen into sharp quills.

By controlling its body temperature, the moisture in the air freezes, producing ice crystals surrounding it. Glaceon is capable of freezing its fur into sharp needle-like icicles, used to tackle its prey. It can drop its body temperature below -75 degrees Fahrenheit. Those captivated by Glaceon's beautiful snowfall will be instantly frozen without realizing it. Glaceon is rather popular in ski resorts due to its ability to create powdery snow. Glaceon is usually found in urban areas under the care of humans. Glaceon is rarely found in the wild.]

[Growlithe is a Fire-type Pokémon. Growlithe is a quadrupedal canine Pokémon. It has orange fur with black stripes along its back and legs.

Kadabra's legs have prominent knees and large, three-toed feet, also ending in white claws. Two of Kadabra's toes face forward and one backward. Kadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon, which amplifies its telekinetic powers. A gold spoon does not work as an amplifier and Kadabra is only half as strong without a spoon. Kadabra emits alpha waves strong enough to induce headaches, and can even cause clocks to run backwards, machines to malfunction, and delicate devices to cease functioning altogether. The waves increase further in strength the more danger Kadabra faces. By closing its eyes, it can double the number of alpha particles it emits. When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual. All of Kadabra's brain cells work in unison while it uses its powers. It sleeps while levitating, using its springy tail like a pillow. It can store up psychic energy inside its star in preparation for its evolution. There is a theory that Kadabra was born from a transformed human child who could not control his powers.

However, Abra sometimes becomes panicked if it wakes in an unknown location. By hypnotizing itself, Abra is able to teleport itself even while sleeping. Abra can use other extrasensory abilities while sleeping as well and can even teleport into the treetops to pick and eat berries. The deeper Abra sleeps, the farther it teleports. Due to the strain of its telepathic powers, however, Abra sleeps 18 hours each day. If Abra fails to rest long enough, it will become unable to use its powers. The contents in Abra's dream can affect its powers. Abra lives in urban areas, but has been observed to teleport to a different location once per hour. If Abra teleports randomly, it can create illusory copies.]

[Poliwrath is a dual-type Water/Fighting. Poliwrath is a blue, bipedal Pokémon with a round body and muscular arms. It has bulbous eyes that protrude from the top of its head and its belly is covered by a white and black swirl. There appear to be white gloves on its hands, and it has rounded, digit-less feet.

When found, it is usually seen living on dry land near the water's edge, despite it being an excellent swimmer.]

[Poliwhirl is a Water-type Pokémon. Poliwhirl is a blue, bipedal Pokémon with a spherical body. It has bulbous eyes that protrude from the top of its head. A black and white swirl covers its belly, which is actually its organs showing through its thin skin. It appears to have white gloves on its hands and rounded, digit-less feet. When out of water, it sweats to keep its skin moist and healthy. This keeps it covered in an oily fluid that allows it to slip away from enemies. All of its skin feels this way except where its swirl is, which is instead very smooth. The swirl on its belly undulates slowly and staring at it induces drowsiness. Even though Poliwhirl is capable of moving on land, it prefers to stay in freshwater ponds and lakes where it has fewer natural enemies. It feeds on both bug and fish Pokémon. While it will leave the water to capture bug Pokémon, it will return and consume them underwater in safety. Its swirl is used to make children fall asleep. Poliwhirl's sweat is filled with slimy mucus. When captured by an enemy, its either slithers to escape or use its swirl to put the enemy to sleep.]

[Poliwag is a Water-type Pokémon. Poliwag is a Pokémon resembling a blue, spherical tadpole. It has large eyes and pink lips that can also act as suction cups for rocks. Its skin is very thin, but flexible and difficult to puncture. There is a black and white swirl on its abdomen, which is actually its internal organs showing through its semitransparent skin. The swirl is clearer following a meal and will have a white tinge if the Pokémon is affected by disease.

[Primeape is a Fighting-type Pokémon. Primeape is a bipedal, simian Pokémon with a round body covered in whitish, shaggy fur. There is usually a throbbing vein on the left side of its forehead, and it has triangular ears with pink insides, narrow eyes with tiny pupils, and a pink, snout-like nose. Its arms and legs are brown and have metal shackles on the wrists and ankles. This is probably indicative of a method of training with weights. The hands have no visible fingers, instead resembling mittens or boxing gloves, and the feet have two toes. Primeape is easily angered; even the slightest glance of eye contact will make it furious. When Primeape is furious, its blood circulation is boosted. This makes Primeape's muscles stronger, but at the cost of some of its intelligence. However, Primeape has sturdy vessels in its brain that help keep it healthy. Primeape will chase anyone who upsets it and will not stop until it has caught its quarry. Even if Primeape is awoken from sleep, it will groggily chase whatever woke it. Primeape has shown some fondness for bananas. Primeape can be found on mountains.]
