It’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.

Known as the Drill King, this Pokémon can tunnel through the terrain at speeds of over 90 mph.

This Pokémon was discovered about 50 years ago. Its highly developed brain enables it to exert its psychic powers.
Beheeyem: Whenever a Beheeyem visits a farm, a Dubwool mysteriously disappears.
Sometimes found drifting above wheat fields, this Pokémon can control the memories of its opponents.
Litwick: The flame on its head keeps its body slightly warm. This Pokémon takes lost children by the hand to guide them to the spirit world.
The younger the life this Pokémon absorbs, the brighter and eerier the flame on its head burns.
Lampent: This Pokémon appears just before someone passes away, so it’s feared as an emissary of death.
It lurks in cities, pretending to be a lamp. Once it finds someone whose death is near, it will trail quietly after them.
Chandelure: This Pokémon haunts dilapidated mansions. It sways its arms to hypnotize opponents with the ominous dancing of its flames.
In homes illuminated by Chandelure instead of lights, funerals were a constant occurrence— or so it’s said.
Axew: These Pokémon nest in the ground and use their tusks to crush hard berries. Crushing berries is also how they test each other’s strength.
They 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.
Fraxure: After battle, this Pokémon carefully sharpens its tusks on river rocks. It needs to take care of its tusks—if one breaks, it will never grow back.
Its skin is as hard as a suit of armor. Fraxure’s favorite strategy is to tackle its opponents, stabbing them with its tusks at the same time.
Haxorus: Its resilient tusks are its pride and joy. It licks up dirt to take in the minerals it needs to keep its tusks in top condition.
While usually kindhearted, it can be terrifying if angered. Tusks that can slice through steel beams are how Haxorus deals with its adversaries.
Cubchoo: When this Pokémon is in good health, its snot becomes thicker and stickier. It will smear its snot on anyone it doesn’t like.
It sniffles before performing a move, using its frosty snot to provide an icy element to any move that needs it.
Beartic: It swims through frigid seas, searching for prey. From its frozen breath, it forms icy fangs that are harder than steel.
It swims energetically through frigid seas. When it gets tired, it freezes the seawater with its breath so it can rest on the ice.
Shelmet: When 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.
It has a strange physiology that responds to electricity. When together with Karrablast, Shelmet evolves for some reason.
Accelgor: It moves with blinding speed and lobs poison at foes. Featuring Accelgor as a main character is a surefire way to make a movie or comic popular.
Discarding its shell made it nimble. To keep itself from dehydrating, it wraps its body in bands of membrane.
Stunfisk: Thanks to bacteria that lived in the mud flats with it, this Pokémon developed the organs it uses to generate electricity.
For some reason, this Pokémon smiles slightly when it emits a strong electric current from the yellow markings on its body.
Galarian Stunfisk: Living in mud with a high iron content has given it a strong steel body.
Its conspicuous lips lure prey in as it lies in wait in the mud. When prey gets close, Stunfisk clamps its jagged steel fins down on them.
Golett: They were sculpted from clay in ancient times. No one knows why, but some of them are driven to continually line up boulders.
This Pokémon was created from clay. It received orders from its master many thousands of years ago, and it still follows those orders to this day.
Golurk: Artillery platforms built into the walls of ancient castles served as perches from which Golurk could fire energy beams.
There’s a theory that inside Golurk is a perpetual motion machine that produces limitless energy, but this belief hasn’t been proven.
Pawniard: It uses river stones to maintain the cutting edges of the blades covering its body. These sharpened blades allow it to bring down opponents.
A pack of these Pokémon forms to serve a Bisharp boss. Each Pawniard trains diligently, dreaming of one day taking the lead.
Bisharp: It’s accompanied by a large retinue of Pawniard. Bisharp keeps a keen eye on its minions, ensuring none of them even think of double-crossing it.
Violent conflicts erupt between Bisharp and Fraxure over places where sharpening stones can be found.
Rufflet: If it spies a strong Pokémon, Rufflet can’t resist challenging it to a battle. But if Rufflet loses, it starts bawling.
A combative Pokémon, it’s ready to pick a fight with anyone. It has talons that can crush hard berries.
Braviary: Known for its bravery and pride, this majestic Pokémon is often seen as a motif for various kinds of emblems.
Because this Pokémon is hotheaded and belligerent, it’s Corviknight that’s taken the role of transportation in Galar.
Vullaby: It wears a bone to protect its rear. It often squabbles with others of its kind over particularly comfy bones.
Vullaby grow quickly. Bones that have gotten too small for older Vullaby to wear often get passed down to younger ones in the nest.
Mandibuzz: Although it’s a bit of a ruffian, this Pokémon will take lost Vullaby under its wing and care for them till they’re ready to leave the nest.
They adorn themselves with bones. There seem to be fashion trends among them, as different bones come into and fall out of popularity.
Heatmor: There’s a hole in its tail that allows it to draw in the air it needs to keep its fire burning. If the hole gets blocked, this Pokémon will fall ill.
A flame serves as its tongue, melting through the hard shell of Durant so that Heatmor can devour their insides.
Durant: They lay their eggs deep inside their nests. When attacked by Heatmor, they retaliate using their massive mandibles.
With their large mandibles, these Pokémon can crunch their way through rock. They work together to protect their eggs from Sandaconda.
Deino: When it encounters something, its first urge is usually to bite it. If it likes what it tastes, it will commit the associated scent to memory.
Because it can’t see, this Pokémon is constantly biting at everything it touches, trying to keep track of its surroundings.
Zweilous: While hunting for prey, Zweilous wanders its territory, its two heads often bickering over which way to go.
Their two heads will fight each other over a single piece of food. Zweilous are covered in scars even without battling others.
Hydreigon: There are a slew of stories about villages that were destroyed by Hydreigon. It bites anything that moves.
The three heads take turns sinking their teeth into the opponent. Their attacks won’t slow until their target goes down.
Cobalion: This Pokémon appears in a legend alongside Terrakion and Virizion, fighting against humans in defense of the Unova region’s Pokémon.
From the moment it’s born, this Pokémon radiates the air of a leader. Its presence will calm even vicious foes.
Terrakion: It has phenomenal power. It will mercilessly crush anyone or anything that bullies small Pokémon.
In Unovan legend, Terrakion battled against humans in an effort to protect other Pokémon.
Virizion: A legend tells of this Pokémon working together with Cobalion and Terrakion to protect the Pokémon of the Unova region.
It darts around opponents with a flurry of quick movements, slicing them up with its horns.
Reshiram: Flames spew from its tail as it flies through the sky like a jet airplane. It’s said that this Pokémon will scorch the world.
According to myth, if people ignore truth and let themselves become consumed by greed, Reshiram will arrive to burn their kingdoms down.
Zekrom: When the interior part of its tail spins like a motor, Zekrom can generate many bolts of lightning to blast its surroundings.
Mythology tells us that if people lose the righteousness in their hearts, their kingdoms will be razed by Zekrom’s lightning.
Kyurem: Dwelling within it is a power even greater than that of Reshiram or Zekrom, but the extreme cold keeps that power bound.
It appears that this Pokémon uses its powers over ice to freeze its own body in order to stabilize its cellular structure.
White Kyurem: The sameness of Reshiram’s and Kyurem’s genes allowed Kyurem to absorb Reshiram. Kyurem can now use the power of both fire and ice.
It has foreseen that a world of truth will arrive for people and Pokémon. It strives to protect that future.
Black Kyurem: It’s said that this Pokémon battles in order to protect the ideal world that will exist in the future for people and Pokémon.
The sameness of Zekrom’s and Kyurem’s genes allowed Kyurem to absorb Zekrom. Kyurem can now use the power of both electricity and ice.
Keldeo: Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion taught this Pokémon how to fight. It dashes across the world, seeking more opportunities to further its training.
They say that Keldeo must survive harsh battles and fully develop the horn on its forehead before this Pokémon’s true power will awaken.
Resolute Keldeo: Keldeo has strengthened its resolve for battle, filling its body with power and changing its form.
The power that lay hidden in its body now covers its horn, turning it into a sword that can slice through anything.
Bunnelby: It excels at digging holes. Using its ears, it can dig a nest 33 feet deep in one night.
It’s very sensitive to danger. The sound of Corviknight’s flapping will have Bunnelby digging a hole to hide underground in moments.
Diggersby: With power equal to an excavator, it can dig through dense bedrock. It’s a huge help during tunnel construction.
The fur on its belly retains heat exceptionally well. People used to make heavy winter clothing from fur shed by this Pokémon.
Pancham: It chooses a Pangoro as its master and then imitates its master’s actions. This is how it learns to battle and hunt for prey.
Wanting to make sure it’s taken seriously, Pancham’s always giving others a glare. But if it’s not focusing, it ends up smiling.
Pangoro: This Pokémon is quick to anger, and it has no problem using its prodigious strength to get its way. It lives for duels against Obstagoon.
Using 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.
Espurr: Though Espurr’s expression never changes, behind that blank stare is an intense struggle to contain its devastating psychic power.
There’s enough psychic power in Espurr to send a wrestler flying, but because this power can’t be controlled, Espurr finds it troublesome.
Meowstic: Revealing the eyelike patterns on the insides of its ears will unleash its psychic powers. It normally keeps the patterns hidden, however.
The defensive instinct of the males is strong. It’s when they’re protecting themselves or their partners that they unleash their full power.
Meowstic-Female: Females are a bit more selfish and aggressive than males. If they don’t get what they want, they will torment you with their psychic abilities.
If it doesn’t hold back when it unleashes its psychic power, it can tear apart a tanker. Its unfriendliness is part of its charm.
Honedge: Honedge’s soul once belonged to a person who was killed a long time ago by the sword that makes up Honedge’s body.
The blue eye on the sword’s handguard is the true body of Honedge. With its old cloth, it drains people’s lives away.
Doublade: Honedge evolves into twins. The two blades rub together to emit a metallic sound that unnerves opponents.
The two swords employ a strategy of rapidly alternating between offense and defense to bring down their prey.
Aegislash: In this defensive stance, Aegislash uses its steel body and a force field of spectral power to reduce the damage of any attack.
Its 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.
Aegislash-Sword: This stance is dedicated to offense. It can cleave any opponent with the strength and weight of its steel blade.
Once upon a time, a king with an Aegislash reigned over the land. His Pokémon eventually drained him of life, and his kingdom fell with him.
Spritzee: A scent pouch within this Pokémon’s body allows it to create various scents. A change in its diet will alter the fragrance it produces.
The scent its body gives off enraptures those who smell it. Noble ladies had no shortage of love for Spritzee.
Aromatisse: The scent that constantly emits from its fur is so powerful that this Pokémon’s companions will eventually lose their sense of smell.
The scents Aromatisse can produce range from sweet smells that bolster allies to foul smells that sap an opponent’s will to fight.
Swirlix: It eats its own weight in sugar every day. If it doesn’t get enough sugar, it becomes incredibly grumpy.
The sweet smell of cotton candy perfumes Swirlix’s fluffy fur. This Pokémon spits out sticky string to tangle up its enemies.
Slurpuff: By 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.
Slurpuff’s fur contains a lot of air, making it soft to the touch and lighter than it looks.
Inkay: It spins while making its luminescent spots flash. These spots allow it to communicate with others by using different patterns of light.
By exposing foes to the blinking of its luminescent spots, Inkay demoralizes them, and then it seizes the chance to flee.
Malamar: Gazing at its luminescent spots will quickly induce a hypnotic state, putting the observer under Malamar’s control.
It’s said that Malamar’s hypnotic powers played a role in certain history-changing events.
Binacle: After two Binacle find a suitably sized rock, they adhere themselves to it and live together. They cooperate to gather food during high tide.
If the two don’t work well together, both their offense and defense fall apart. Without good teamwork, they won’t survive.
Barbaracle: Seven Binacle come together to form one Barbaracle. The Binacle that serves as the head gives orders to those serving as the limbs.
Having 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.
Helioptile: When spread, the frills on its head act like solar panels, generating the power behind this Pokémon’s electric moves.
The sun powers this Pokémon’s electricity generation. Interruption of that process stresses Helioptile to the point of weakness.
Heliolisk: A now-vanished desert culture treasured these Pokémon. Appropriately, when Heliolisk came to the Galar region, treasure came with them.
One Heliolisk basking in the sun with its frill outspread is all it would take to produce enough electricity to power a city.
Sylveon: By releasing enmity-erasing waves from its ribbonlike feelers, Sylveon stops any conflict.
There’s a Galarian fairy tale that describes a beautiful Sylveon vanquishing a dreadful dragon Pokémon.
Hawlucha: It drives its opponents to exhaustion with its agile maneuvers, then ends the fight with a flashy finishing move.
It always strikes a pose before going for its finishing move. Sometimes opponents take advantage of that time to counterattack.
Goomy: Because most of its body is water, it will dry up if the weather becomes too arid. It’s considered the weakest dragon Pokémon.
Their horns are powerful sensors. As soon as Goomy pick up any sign of enemies, they go into hiding. This is how they’ve survived.
Sliggoo: Although this Pokémon isn’t very strong, its body is coated in a caustic slime that can melt through anything, so predators steer clear of it.
The lump on its back contains its tiny brain. It thinks only of food and escaping its enemies.
Goodra: Sometimes it misunderstands instructions and appears dazed or bewildered. Many Trainers don’t mind, finding this behavior to be adorable.
Its form of offense is forcefully stretching out its horns. The strikes land 100 times harder than any blow from a heavyweight boxer.
Phantump: After a lost child perished in the forest, their spirit possessed a tree stump, causing the spirit’s rebirth as this Pokémon.
With a voice like a human child’s, it cries out to lure adults deep into the forest, getting them lost among the trees.
Trevenant: People fear it due to a belief that it devours any who try to cut down trees in its forest, but to the Pokémon it shares its woods with, it’s kind.
Small roots that extend from the tips of this Pokémon’s feet can tie into the trees of the forest and give Trevenant control over them.
Pumpkaboo: Spirits that wander this world are placed into Pumpkaboo’s body. They’re then moved on to the afterlife.
The light that streams out from the holes in the pumpkin can hypnotize and control the people and Pokémon that see it.
Pumpkaboo-Small: When taking spirits to the afterlife, small Pumpkaboo prefer the spirits of children to those of adults.
Small Pumpkaboo are said to be the product of areas where few lost souls lingered.
Pumpkaboo-Large: When taking spirits to the afterlife, large Pumpkaboo prefer the spirits of adults to those of children.
Large Pumpkaboo are said to be the product of areas where many lost souls lingered.
Pumpkaboo-Supersized: Supersized Pumpkaboo are very partial to the spirits of people who were of similarly superior proportions.
Massive Pumpkaboo are said to be the product of areas where a great number of lost souls lingered.
Gourgeist: Eerie cries emanate from its body in the dead of night. The sounds are said to be the wails of spirits who are suffering in the afterlife.
In the darkness of a new-moon night, Gourgeist will come knocking. Whoever answers the door will be swept off to the afterlife.
Gourgeist-Small: Small Gourgeist pretend to be children to fool adults. Anyone who falls for the act gets carried away to the hereafter.
A small-sized Pumpkaboo evolves into a small-sized Gourgeist. Its bodily proportions also get passed on to its descendants.
Gourgist-Large: Large Gourgeist put on the guise of adults, taking the hands of children to lead them to the afterlife.
A large-sized Pumpkaboo evolves into a large-sized Gourgeist. Its bodily proportions also get passed on to its descendants.
Gourgeist-Supersize: Supersized Gourgeist aren’t picky. They will forcefully drag anyone off to the afterlife.
A supersized Pumpkaboo evolves into a supersized Gourgeist. Its bodily proportions also get passed on to its descendants.
Bergmite: They chill the air around them to −150 degrees Fahrenheit, freezing the water in the air into ice that they use as armor.
This Pokémon lives in areas of frigid cold. It secures itself to the back of an Avalugg by freezing its feet in place.
Avalugg: At high latitudes, this Pokémon can be found with clusters of Bergmite on its back as it swims among the icebergs.
As Avalugg moves about during the day, the cracks in its body deepen. The Pokémon’s body returns to a pristine state overnight.
Noibat: After nightfall, they emerge from the caves they nest in during the day. Using their ultrasonic waves, they go on the hunt for ripened fruit.
No wavelength of sound is beyond Noibat’s ability to produce. The ultrasonic waves it generates can overcome much larger Pokémon.
Noivern: Aggressive and cruel, this Pokémon will ruthlessly torment enemies that are helpless in the dark.
Flying through the darkness, it weakens enemies with ultrasonic waves that could crush stone. Its fangs finish the fight.
Rowlet: At a distance, it launches its sharp feathers while flying about. If the enemy gets too close, Rowlet switches tactics and delivers vicious kicks.
During the day, it builds up energy via photosynthesis. At night, it flies silently through the sky, on the prowl for prey.
Dartrix: It throws one knifelike feather after another at its enemies, and each one precisely strikes a weak point. These feathers are known as blade quills.
It never slacks when it comes to the task of cleaning its feathers. Thorough preening keeps it looking spiffy and its blade quills nice and sharp.
Decidueye: As if wielding a bow, it launches the arrow quills hidden among the feathers of its wings. Decidueye’s shots never miss.
In a tenth of a second, it can nock and fire an arrow quill, piercing an opponent’s weak point before they notice what’s happening.
Litten: It spends even the smallest amount of downtime grooming its fur with its tongue. Loose fur gathers in its stomach and serves as fuel for fiery moves.
Trying to pet Litten before it trusts you will result in a nasty scratch from its sharp claws. Be careful.
Torracat: In the midst of battle, the fire pouch on Torracat’s neck rings like a bell and produces stronger flames than usual.
When facing a powerful enemy, Torracat’s fighting spirit gets pumped up, and its fire bell blazes hotter.
Incineroar: It excels at violent, no-holds-barred battles. The temperature of the flames that issue from its navel exceeds 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit.
Incineroar’s rough and aggressive behavior is its most notable trait, but the way it helps out small Pokémon shows that it has a kind side as well.
Popplio: It creates special bouncy balloons to send at its opponents. When the balloons pop, the sheer force of their bursting is what deals damage.
If Popplio want to create big, powerful balloons, they must be persistent. It takes daily practice for these Pokémon to develop their skills.
Brionne: As if dancing, it artfully dodges the attacks of its enemies. All the while, it’s busy forming a bunch of balloons to overwhelm its foes.
On nights when the sea is calm, Brionne dance with one another to the singing of the Primarina that’s leading them.
Primarina: With its mouth, it makes sonic waves that sound like beautiful singing. It uses the sonic waves to control its water balloons.
For Primarina, every battle’s a stage. Its singing and the dancing of its balloons will mesmerize the audience.
Grubbin: Its natural enemies, like Rookidee, may flee rather than risk getting caught in its large mandibles that can snap thick tree branches.
It uses its big jaws to dig nests into the forest floor, and it loves to feed on sweet tree sap.
Charjabug: While its durable shell protects it from attacks, Charjabug strikes at enemies with jolts of electricity discharged from the tips of its jaws.
Its digestive processes convert the leaves it eats into electricity. An electric sac in its belly stores the electricity for later use.
Vikavolt: It builds up electricity in its abdomen, focuses it through its jaws, and then fires the electricity off in concentrated beams.
If it carries a Charjabug to use as a spare battery, a flying Vikavolt can rapidly fire high-powered beams of electricity.
Cutiefly: Nectar and pollen are its favorite fare. You can find Cutiefly hovering around Gossifleur, trying to get some of Gossifleur’s pollen.
An opponent’s aura can tell Cutiefly what that opponent’s next move will be. Then Cutiefly can glide around the attack and strike back.
Ribombee: It makes pollen puffs from pollen and nectar. The puffs’ effects depend on the type of ingredients and how much of each one is used.
Ribombee absolutely hate getting wet or rained on. In the cloudy Galar region, they are very seldom seen.
Wishiwashi: Individually, they’re incredibly weak. It’s by gathering up into schools that they’re able to confront opponents.
When it senses danger, its eyes tear up. The sparkle of its tears signals other Wishiwashi to gather.
Wishiwashi-School: On their own, they’re very weak. But when Wishiwashi pool their power together in a school, they become a demon of the sea.
When facing tough opponents, they get into formation. But if they get wounded in battle, they’ll scatter and become solitary again.
Mareanie: The 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.
Unlike their Alolan counterparts, the Mareanie of the Galar region have not yet figured out that the branches of Corsola are delicious.
Toxapex: To 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.
Within 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.
Mudbray: Loads 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.
It 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.
Mudsdale: Mud 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.
Mudsdale has so much stamina that it could carry over 10 tons across the Galar region without rest or sleep.
Dewpider: It 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.
Dewpider 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.
Araquanid: It launches water bubbles with its legs, drowning prey within the bubbles. This Pokémon can then take its time to savor its meal.
It acts as a caretaker for Dewpider, putting them inside its bubble and letting them eat any leftover food.
Morelull: Pokémon living in the forest eat the delicious caps on Morelull’s head. The caps regrow overnight.
Morelull live in forests that stay dark even during the day. They scatter flickering spores that put enemies to sleep.
Shiinotic: Its flickering spores lure in prey and put them to sleep. Once this Pokémon has its prey snoozing, it drains their vitality with its fingertips.
If you see a light deep in a forest at night, don’t go near. Shiinotic will make you fall fast asleep.
Salandit: Its venom sacs produce a fluid that this Pokémon then heats up with the flame in its tail. This process creates Salandit’s poisonous gas.
This sneaky Pokémon will slink behind its prey and immobilize it with poisonous gas before the prey even realizes Salandit is there.
Salazzle: Only female Salazzle exist. They emit a gas laden with pheromones to captivate male Salandit.
The winner of competitions between Salazzle is decided by which one has the most male Salandit with it.
Stufful: Its fluffy fur is a delight to pet, but carelessly reaching out to touch this Pokémon could result in painful retaliation.
The 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.
Bewear: Once 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.
The 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.
Bounsweet: Its body gives off a sweet, fruity scent that is extremely appetizing to bird Pokémon.
When under attack, it secretes a sweet and delicious sweat. The scent only calls more enemies to it.
Steenee: As it twirls like a dancer, a sweet smell spreads out around it. Anyone who inhales the scent will feel a surge of happiness.
Any Corvisquire that pecks at this Pokémon will be greeted with a smack from its sepals followed by a sharp kick.
Tsareena: This feared Pokémon has long, slender legs and a cruel heart. It shows no mercy as it stomps on its opponents.
A kick from the hardened tips of this Pokémon’s legs leaves a wound in the opponent’s body and soul that will never heal.
Oranguru: With waves of its fan—made from leaves and its own fur—Oranguru skillfully gives instructions to other Pokémon.
It knows the forest inside and out. If it comes across a wounded Pokémon, Oranguru will gather medicinal herbs to treat it.
Passimian: Displaying amazing teamwork, they follow the orders of their boss as they all help out in the search for their favorite berries.
Passimian live in groups of about 20, with each member performing an assigned role. Through cooperation, the group survives.
Wimpod: It’s nature’s cleaner—it eats anything and everything, including garbage and rotten things. The ground near its nest is always clean.
Wimpod gather in swarms, constantly on the lookout for danger. They scatter the moment they detect an enemy’s presence.
Golisopod: It will do anything to win, taking advantage of every opening and finishing opponents off with the small claws on its front legs.
They live in sunken ships or in holes in the seabed. When Golisopod and Grapploct battle, the loser becomes the winner’s meal.
Pyumumuku: It lives in warm, shallow waters. If it encounters a foe, it will spit out its internal organs as a means to punch them.
It’s covered in a slime that keeps its skin moist, allowing it to stay on land for days without drying up.
Type: Null: Rumor has it that the theft of top-secret research notes led to a new instance of this Pokémon being created in the Galar region.
It was modeled after a mighty Pokémon of myth. The mask placed upon it limits its power in order to keep it under control.
Silvally: A solid bond of trust between this Pokémon and its Trainer awakened the strength hidden within Silvally. It can change its type at will.
The final factor needed to release this Pokémon’s true power was a strong bond with a Trainer it trusts.
Silvally-[Type]: Thanks to its awakened powers, it can change to the [Type] type to match the memory it has equipped.
It has the ability to change its type based on the memory it’s holding. This is its [Type]-type form.
Turtonator: Explosive substances coat the shell on its back. Enemies that dare attack it will be blown away by an immense detonation.
Eating sulfur in its volcanic habitat is what causes explosive compounds to develop in its shell. Its droppings are also dangerously explosive.
Togedemaru: With the long hairs on its back, this Pokémon takes in electricity from other electric Pokémon. It stores what it absorbs in an electric sac.
When it’s in trouble, it curls up into a ball, makes its fur spikes stand on end, and then discharges electricity indiscriminately.
Mimikyu: It wears a rag fashioned into a Pikachu costume in an effort to look less scary. Unfortunately, the costume only makes it creepier.
There was a scientist who peeked under Mimikyu’s old rag in the name of research. The scientist died of a mysterious disease.
Mimikyu-Busted: There will be no forgiveness for any who reveal that it was pretending to be Pikachu. It will bring the culprit down, even at the cost of its own life.
Its disguise made from an old rag allowed it to avoid an attack, but the impact broke the neck of the disguise. Now everyone knows it’s a Mimikyu.
Drampa: The mountains it calls home are nearly two miles in height. On rare occasions, it descends to play with the children living in the towns below.
Drampa is a kind and friendly Pokémon—up until it’s angered. When that happens, it stirs up a gale and flattens everything around.
Dhelmise: After a piece of seaweed merged with debris from a sunken ship, it was reborn as this ghost Pokémon.
After lowering its anchor, it waits for its prey. It catches large Wailord and drains their life-force.
Jangmo-o: They learn to fight by smashing their head scales together. The dueling strengthens both their skills and their spirits.
Jangmo-o strikes its scales to communicate with others of its kind. Its scales are actually fur that’s become as hard as metal.
Hakamo-o: The scaleless, scarred parts of its body are signs of its strength. It shows them off to defeated opponents.
Before attacking its enemies, it clashes its scales together and roars. Its sharp claws shred the opposition.
Kommo-o: It clatters its tail scales to unnerve opponents. This Pokémon will battle only those who stand steadfast in the face of this display.
Certain ruins have paintings of ancient warriors wearing armor made of Kommo-o scales.
Cosmog: This Pokémon came from another universe. Its gaseous body is so light that even a gentle breeze can blow it away.
Cosmog is very curious but not very cautious, often placing itself in danger. If things start to look dicey, it teleports away.
Cosmoem: The absorption of starlight fuels this Pokémon’s growth. The shell that encases it is harder than any known material.
It sucks in dust from the air at an astounding rate, frantically building up energy within its core as preparation for evolution.
Solgaleo: When light radiates from its body, this Pokémon could almost appear to be the sun. It will dispel any darkness and light up the world.
Solgaleo was once known as the Beast That Devours the Sun. Energy in the form of light radiates boundlessly from it.
Lunala: Known as the Beast That Calls the Moon, this Pokémon lives by taking in any and all light and converting it into its own energy.
It steals the light from its surroundings and then becomes the full moon, showering its own light across the night sky.
Necrozma: It survives by absorbing light. After a long time spent slumbering underground, impurities accumulated within it, causing its body to darken.
It needs light to survive, and it goes on a rampage seeking it out. Its laser beams will cut anything to pieces.
Necrozma-DM: When it dominates Solgaleo, it takes on this form. It’s a vicious Pokémon, mangling prey with its many claws—including those on its back.
Necrozma has attached itself to Solgaleo. It siphons away its host’s limitless energy, exploiting that energy to fuel a rampage.
Necrozma-DW: Necrozma has subjugated Lunala entirely, forcing the unfortunate Pokémon to emit its light energy for Necrozma to consume.
When Necrozma latches on to Lunala, it becomes vicious, seeing enemies everywhere it looks. It will burn the world with lasers.
Marshadow: By slipping into the shadow of a martial arts master and copying their movements, this Pokémon learned the ultimate techniques.
This Pokémon can conceal itself in any shadow, so it went undiscovered for a long time.
Zeraora: It runs as fast as lightning strikes, shredding its opponents with its high-voltage claws.
Electricity sparks from the pads on its limbs. Wherever Zeraora runs, lightning flashes and thunder echoes.
Meltan: It dissolves and eats metal. Circulating liquid metal within its body is how it generates energy.
They live as a group, but when the time comes, one strong Meltan will absorb all the others and evolve.
Melmeltal: At the end of its life-span, Melmetal will rust and fall apart. The small shards left behind will eventually be reborn as Meltan.
Centrifugal force is behind the punches of Melmetal’s heavy hex-nut arms. Melmetal is said to deliver the strongest punches of all Pokémon.
G-Melmetal: In a distant land, there are legends about a cyclopean giant. In fact, the giant was a Melmetal that was flooded with Gigantamax energy.
It can send electric beams streaking out from the hole in its belly. The beams’ tremendous energy can vaporize an opponent in one shot.
Grookey: When it uses its special stick to strike up a beat, the sound waves produced carry revitalizing energy to the plants and flowers in the area.
It attacks with rapid beats of its stick. As it strikes with amazing speed, it gets more and more pumped.
Thwackey: The faster a Thwackey can beat out a rhythm with its two sticks, the more respect it wins from its peers.
When it’s drumming out rapid beats in battle, it gets so caught up in the rhythm that it won’t even notice that it’s already knocked out its opponent.
Rillaboom: By drumming, it taps into the power of its special tree stump. The roots of the stump follow its direction in battle.
The one with the best drumming techniques becomes the boss of the troop. It has a gentle disposition and values harmony among its group.
Scorbunny: A warm-up of running around gets fire energy coursing through this Pokémon’s body. Once that happens, it’s ready to fight at full power.
It has special pads on the backs of its feet, and one on its nose. Once it’s raring to fight, these pads radiate tremendous heat.
Raboot: Its thick and fluffy fur protects it from the cold and enables it to use hotter fire moves.
It kicks berries right off the branches of trees and then juggles them with its feet, practicing its footwork.
Cinderace: It juggles a pebble with its feet, turning it into a burning soccer ball. Its shots strike opponents hard and leave them scorched.
It’s skilled at both offense and defense, and it gets pumped up when cheered on. But if it starts showboating, it could put itself in a tough spot.
Sobble: When scared, this Pokémon cries. Its tears pack the chemical punch of 100 onions, and attackers won’t be able to resist weeping.
When it gets wet, its skin changes color, and this Pokémon becomes invisible as if it were camouflaged.
Drizzile: A clever combatant, this Pokémon battles using water balloons created with moisture secreted from its palms.
Highly intelligent but also very lazy, it keeps enemies out of its territory by laying traps everywhere.
Inteleon: It has many hidden capabilities, such as fingertips that can shoot water and a membrane on its back that it can use to glide through the air.
Its nictitating membranes let it pick out foes’ weak points so it can precisely blast them with water that shoots from its fingertips at Mach 3.
Skwovet: Found throughout the Galar region, this Pokémon becomes uneasy if its cheeks are ever completely empty of berries.
It eats berries nonstop—a habit that has made it more resilient than it looks. It’ll show up on farms, searching for yet more berries.
Greedent: It stashes berries in its tail—so many berries that they fall out constantly. But this Pokémon is a bit slow-witted, so it doesn’t notice the loss.
Common throughout the Galar region, this Pokémon has strong teeth and can chew through the toughest of berry shells.
Rookidee: It will bravely challenge any opponent, no matter how powerful. This Pokémon benefits from every battle—even a defeat increases its strength a bit.
Jumping nimbly about, this small-bodied Pokémon takes advantage of even the slightest opportunity to disorient larger opponents.
Corvisquire: Smart enough to use tools in battle, these Pokémon have been seen picking up rocks and flinging them or using ropes to wrap up enemies.
The lessons of many harsh battles have taught it how to accurately judge an opponent’s strength.
Corviknight: This Pokémon reigns supreme in the skies of the Galar region. The black luster of its steel body could drive terror into the heart of any foe.
With their great intellect and flying skills, these Pokémon very successfully act as the Galar region’s airborne taxi service.
G-Corviknight: Imbued with Gigantamax energy, its wings can whip up winds more forceful than any a hurricane could muster. The gusts blow everything away.
The eight feathers on its back are called blade birds, and they can launch off its body to attack foes independently.
Blipbug: A constant collector of information, this Pokémon is very smart. Very strong is what it isn’t.
Often found in gardens, this Pokémon has hairs on its body that it uses to assess its surroundings.
Dottler: It barely moves, but it’s still alive. Hiding in its shell without food or water seems to have awakened its psychic powers.
As it grows inside its shell, it uses its psychic abilities to monitor the outside world and prepare for evolution.
Orbeetle: It’s famous for its high level of intelligence, and the large size of its brain is proof that it also possesses immense psychic power.
It emits psychic energy to observe and study what’s around it—and what’s around it can include things over six miles away.
G-Orbeetle: Its brain has grown to a gargantuan size, as has the rest of its body. This Pokémon’s intellect and psychic abilities are overpowering.
If it were to utilize every last bit of its power, it could control the minds of every living being in its vicinity.
Nickit: Aided by the soft pads on its feet, it silently raids the food stores of other Pokémon. It survives off its ill-gotten gains.
Cunning and cautious, this Pokémon survives by stealing food from others. It erases its tracks with swipes of its tail as it makes off with its plunder.
Thievul: It secretly marks potential targets with a scent. By following the scent, it stalks its targets and steals from them when they least expect it.
With a lithe body and sharp claws, it goes around stealing food and eggs. Boltund is its natural enemy.
Gossifleur: It anchors itself in the ground with its single leg, then basks in the sun. After absorbing enough sunlight, its petals spread as it blooms brilliantly.
It whirls around in the wind while singing a joyous song. This delightful display has charmed many into raising this Pokémon.
Eldeoss: The seeds attached to its cotton fluff are full of nutrients. It spreads them on the wind so that plants and other Pokémon can benefit from them.
The cotton on the head of this Pokémon can be spun into a glossy, gorgeous yarn—a Galar regional specialty.
Wooloo: Its curly fleece is such an effective cushion that this Pokémon could fall off a cliff and stand right back up at the bottom, unharmed.
If its fleece grows too long, Wooloo won’t be able to move. Cloth made with the wool of this Pokémon is surprisingly strong.
Dubwool: Weave a carpet from its springy wool, and you end up with something closer to a trampoline. You’ll start to bounce the moment you set foot on it.
Its majestic horns are meant only to impress the opposite gender. They never see use in battle.
Chewtle: Apparently the itch of its teething impels it to snap its jaws at anything in front of it.
It starts off battles by attacking with its rock-hard horn, but as soon as the opponent flinches, this Pokémon bites down and never lets go.
Drednaw: With jaws that can shear through steel rods, this highly aggressive Pokémon chomps down on its unfortunate prey.
This Pokémon rapidly extends its retractable neck to sink its sharp fangs into distant enemies and take them down.
G-Drednaw: It responded to Gigantamax energy by becoming bipedal. First it comes crashing down on foes, and then it finishes them off with its massive jaws.
In the Galar region, there’s a tale about this Pokémon chewing up a mountain and using the rubble to stop a flood.
Yamper: This Pokémon is very popular as a herding dog in the Galar region. As it runs, it generates electricity from the base of its tail.
This gluttonous Pokémon only assists people with their work because it wants treats. As it runs, it crackles with electricity.
Boltund: This Pokémon generates electricity and channels it into its legs to keep them going strong. Boltund can run nonstop for three full days.
It sends electricity through its legs to boost their strength. Running at top speed, it easily breaks 50 mph.
Rolycoly: Most of its body has the same composition as coal. Fittingly, this Pokémon was first discovered in coal mines about 400 years ago.
It can race around like a unicycle, even on rough, rocky terrain. Burning coal sustains it.
Carkol: It forms coal inside its body. Coal dropped by this Pokémon once helped fuel the lives of people in the Galar region.
By rapidly rolling its legs, it can travel at over 18 mph. The temperature of the flames it breathes exceeds 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit.
Coalossal: It’s usually peaceful, but the vandalism of mines enrages it. Offenders will be incinerated with flames that reach 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit.
While it’s engaged in battle, its mountain of coal will burn bright red, sending off sparks that scorch the surrounding area.
G-Coalossal: Its body is a colossal stove. With Gigantamax energy stoking the fire, this Pokémon’s flame burns hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit.
When Galar was hit by a harsh cold wave, this Pokémon served as a giant heating stove and saved many lives.
Applin: It spends its entire life inside an apple. It hides from its natural enemies, bird Pokémon, by pretending it’s just an apple and nothing more.
As soon as it’s born, it burrows into an apple. Not only does the apple serve as its food source, but the flavor of the fruit determines its evolution.
Flapple: It ate a sour apple, and that induced its evolution. In its cheeks, it stores an acid capable of causing chemical burns.
It flies on wings of apple skin and spits a powerful acid. It can also change its shape into that of an apple.
G-Flapple: Under the influence of Gigantamax energy, it produces much more sweet nectar, and its shape has changed to resemble a giant apple.
If it stretches its neck, the strong aroma of its nectar pours out. The scent is so sickeningly sweet that one whiff makes other Pokémon faint.
Appletun: Eating a sweet apple caused its evolution. A nectarous scent wafts from its body, luring in the bug Pokémon it preys on.
Its body is covered in sweet nectar, and the skin on its back is especially yummy. Children used to have it as a snack.
G-Appletun: It blasts its opponents with massive amounts of sweet, sticky nectar, drowning them under the deluge.
Due to Gigantamax energy, this Pokémon’s nectar has thickened. The increased viscosity lets the nectar absorb more damage than before.
Silicobra: As it digs, it swallows sand and stores it in its neck pouch. The pouch can hold more than 17 pounds of sand.
It spews sand from its nostrils. While the enemy is blinded, it burrows into the ground to hide.
Sandaconda: When it contracts its body, over 220 pounds of sand sprays from its nose. If it ever runs out of sand, it becomes disheartened.
Its unique style of coiling allows it to blast sand out of its sand sac more efficiently.
G-Sandacona: Its sand pouch has grown to tremendous proportions. More than 1,000,000 tons of sand now swirl around its body.
Sand swirls around its body with such speed and power that it could pulverize a skyscraper.
Cramorant: It’s so strong that it can knock out some opponents in a single hit, but it also may forget what it’s battling midfight.
This hungry Pokémon swallows Arrokuda whole. Occasionally, it makes a mistake and tries to swallow a Pokémon other than its preferred prey.
Cramorant-Arrokuda: Cramorant’s gluttony led it to try to swallow an Arrokuda whole, which in turn led to Cramorant getting an Arrokuda stuck in its throat.
The slightest shock is sometimes enough to get this Pokémon to spit out the Arrokuda lodged in its throat.
Cramorant-Pikachu: This Cramorant has accidentally gotten a Pikachu lodged in its gullet. Cramorant is choking a little, but it isn’t really bothered.
The half-swallowed Pikachu is so startled that it isn’t struggling yet, but it’s still looking for a chance to strike back.
Arrokuda: If it sees any movement around it, this Pokémon charges for it straightaway, leading with its sharply pointed jaw. It’s very proud of that jaw.
After it’s eaten its fill, its movements become extremely sluggish. That’s when Cramorant swallows it up.
Barraskewda: This Pokémon has a jaw that’s as sharp as a spear and as strong as steel. Apparently Barraskewda’s flesh is surprisingly tasty, too.
It spins its tail fins to propel itself, surging forward at speeds of over 100 knots before ramming prey and spearing into them.
Toxel: It stores poison in an internal poison sac and secretes that poison through its skin. If you touch this Pokémon, a tingling sensation follows.
It manipulates the chemical makeup of its poison to produce electricity. The voltage is weak, but it can cause a tingling paralysis.
Toxtricity: When this Pokémon sounds as if it’s strumming a guitar, it’s actually clawing at the protrusions on its chest to generate electricity.
This short-tempered and aggressive Pokémon chugs stagnant water to absorb any toxins it might contain.
Toxtricity-LK: Capable of generating 15,000 volts of electricity, this Pokémon looks down on all that would challenge it.
It has an electrical organ on its chest. While generating electricity, it fills its surroundings with what sounds like the strumming of a bass guitar.
G-Toxtricity: Its excessive electric energy is its weapon. This Pokémon can build up more electricity than any thundercloud.
Out of control after its own poison penetrated its brain, it tears across the land in a rampage, contaminating the earth with toxic sweat.
Sizzlipede: It stores flammable gas in its body and uses it to generate heat. The yellow sections on its belly get particularly hot.
It wraps prey up with its heated body, cooking them in its coils. Once they’re well-done, it will voraciously nibble them down to the last morsel.
Centiskorch: When it heats up, its body temperature reaches about 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. It lashes its body like a whip and launches itself at enemies.
While its burning body is already dangerous on its own, this excessively hostile Pokémon also has large and very sharp fangs.
G-Centskorch: Gigantamax energy has evoked a rise in its body temperature, now reaching over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Its heat waves incinerate its enemies.
The heat that comes off a Gigantamax Centiskorch may destabilize air currents. Sometimes it can even cause storms.
Clobbopus: It’s very curious, but its means of investigating things is to try to punch them with its tentacles. The search for food is what brings it onto land.
Its tentacles tear off easily, but it isn’t alarmed when that happens—it knows they’ll grow back. It’s about as smart as a three-year-old.
Grapploct: A body made up of nothing but muscle makes the grappling moves this Pokémon performs with its tentacles tremendously powerful.
Searching for an opponent to test its skills against, it emerges onto land. Once the battle is over, it returns to the sea.
Sinistea: This Pokémon is said to have been born when a lonely spirit possessed a cold, leftover cup of tea.
The teacup in which this Pokémon makes its home is a famous piece of antique tableware. Many forgeries are in circulation.
Sinistea-?: The swirl pattern in this Pokémon’s body is its weakness. If it gets stirred, the swirl loses its shape, and Sinistea gets dizzy.
It absorbs the life-force of those who drink it. It waits patiently, but opportunities are fleeting— it tastes so bad that it gets spat out immediately.
Polteageist: This species lives in antique teapots. Most pots are forgeries, but on rare occasions, an authentic work is found.
Leaving leftover black tea unattended is asking for this Pokémon to come along and pour itself into it, turning the tea into a new Polteageist.
Polteageist-?: Trainers Polteageist trusts will be allowed to experience its distinctive flavor and aroma firsthand by sampling just a tiny bit of its tea.
When angered, it launches tea from its body at the offender’s mouth. The tea causes strong chills if swallowed.
Hatenna: Via the protrusion on its head, it senses other creatures’ emotions. If you don’t have a calm disposition, it will never warm up to you.
If this Pokémon senses a strong emotion, it will run away as fast as it can. It prefers areas without people.
Hattrem: No matter who you are, if you bring strong emotions near this Pokémon, it will silence you violently.
Using the braids on its head, it pummels foes to get them to quiet down. One blow from those braids would knock out a professional boxer.
Hatterene: It emits psychic power strong enough to cause headaches as a deterrent to the approach of others.
If you’re too loud around it, you risk being torn apart by the claws on its tentacle. This Pokémon is also known as the Forest Witch.
G-Hatterene: This Pokémon can read the emotions of creatures over 30 miles away. The minute it senses hostility, it goes on the attack.
Beams like lightning shoot down from its tentacles. It’s known to some as the Raging Goddess.
Impidimp: Through its nose, it sucks in the emanations produced by people and Pokémon when they feel annoyed. It thrives off this negative energy.
It sneaks into people’s homes, stealing things and feasting on the negative energy of the frustrated occupants.
Morgrem: When it gets down on all fours as if to beg for forgiveness, it’s trying to lure opponents in so that it can stab them with its spear-like hair.
With sly cunning, it tries to lure people into the woods. Some believe it to have the power to make crops grow.
Grimmsnarl: With the hair wrapped around its body helping to enhance its muscles, this Pokémon can overwhelm even Machamp.
Its hairs work like muscle fibers. When its hairs unfurl, they latch on to opponents, ensnaring them as tentacles would.
G-Grimmsnarl: By transforming its leg hair, this Pokémon delivers power-packed drill kicks that can bore huge holes in Galar’s terrain.
Gigantamax energy has caused more hair to sprout all over its body. With the added strength, it can jump over the world’s tallest building.
Obstagoon: Its voice is staggering in volume. Obstagoon has a tendency to take on a threatening posture and shout—this move is known as Obstruct.
It evolved after experiencing numerous fights. While crossing its arms, it lets out a shout that would make any opponent flinch.
Perrserker: What appears to be an iron helmet is actually hardened hair. This Pokémon lives for the thrill of battle.
After many battles, it evolved dangerous claws that come together to form daggers when extended.
Cursola: Its shell is overflowing with its heightened otherworldly energy. The ectoplasm serves as protection for this Pokémon’s core spirit.
Be cautious of the ectoplasmic body surrounding its soul. You’ll become stiff as stone if you touch it.
Sirfetch'd: Only Farfetch’d that have survived many battles can attain this evolution. When this Pokémon’s leek withers, it will retire from combat.
After deflecting attacks with its hard leaf shield, it strikes back with its sharp leek stalk. The leek stalk is both weapon and food.
Mr. Rime: It’s highly skilled at tap-dancing. It waves its cane of ice in time with its graceful movements.
Its amusing movements make it very popular. It releases its psychic power from the pattern on its belly.
Runerigus: A powerful curse was woven into an ancient painting. After absorbing the spirit of a Yamask, the painting began to move.
Never touch its shadowlike body, or you’ll be shown the horrific memories behind the picture carved into it.
Milcery: This Pokémon was born from sweet-smelling particles in the air. Its body is made of cream.
They say that any patisserie visited by Milcery is guaranteed success and good fortune.
Alcremie: When it trusts a Trainer, it will treat them to berries it’s decorated with cream.
When Alcremie is content, the cream it secretes from its hands becomes sweeter and richer.
Alcremie[Flavor]: The moment it evolved, it took on a [sweet and tart/aromatic/refreshing/sour/salty/mixed/bitter/complex] flavor. This is because of the way its cells spontaneously shifted during evolution.
The cells that compose its cream fluctuated suddenly during evolution, giving the cream a [sweet and tart/aromatic/refreshing/sour/salty/mixed/bitter/complex] flavor.
G-Alcremie: Cream pours endlessly from this Pokémon’s body. The cream stiffens when compressed by an impact. A harder impact results in harder cream.
It launches swarms of missiles, each made of cream and loaded with 100,000 kilocalories. Get hit by one of these, and your head will swim.
Falinks: Five of them are troopers, and one is the brass. The brass’s orders are absolute.
The six of them work together as one Pokémon. Teamwork is also their battle strategy, and they constantly change their formation as they fight.
Pincurchin: It feeds on seaweed, using its teeth to scrape it off rocks. Electric current flows from the tips of its spines.
It stores electricity in each spine. Even if one gets broken off, it still continues to emit electricity for at least three hours.
Snom: It spits out thread imbued with a frigid sort of energy and uses it to tie its body to branches, disguising itself as an icicle while it sleeps.
It eats snow that piles up on the ground. The more snow it eats, the bigger and more impressive the spikes on its back grow.
Frosmoth: Icy scales fall from its wings like snow as it flies over fields and mountains. The temperature of its wings is less than −290 degrees Fahrenheit.
It shows no mercy to any who desecrate fields and mountains. It will fly around on its icy wings, causing a blizzard to chase offenders away.
Stonjourner: It stands in grasslands, watching the sun’s descent from zenith to horizon. This Pokémon has a talent for delivering dynamic kicks.
Once a year, on a specific date and at a specific time, they gather out of nowhere and form up in a circle.
Eiscue: It drifted in on the flow of ocean waters from a frigid place. It keeps its head iced constantly to make sure it stays nice and cold.
This Pokémon keeps its heat-sensitive head cool with ice. It fishes for its food, dangling its single hair into the sea to lure in prey.
Eiscue-Noice: The ice covering this Pokémon’s face has shattered, revealing a slightly worried expression that many people are enamored with.
The hair on its head connects to the surface of its brain. When this Pokémon has something on its mind, its hair chills the air around it.
Indeedee: It uses the horns on its head to sense the emotions of others. Males will act as valets for those they serve, looking after their every need.
Through its horns, it can pick up on the emotions of creatures around it. Positive emotions are the source of its strength.
Indeedee-Female: These intelligent Pokémon touch horns with each other to share information between them.
They diligently serve people and Pokémon so they can gather feelings of gratitude. The females are particularly good at babysitting.
Morpeko: As it eats the seeds stored up in its pocket-like pouches, this Pokémon is not just satisfying its constant hunger. It’s also generating electricity.
It carries electrically roasted seeds with it as if they’re precious treasures. No matter how much it eats, it always gets hungry again in short order.
Morpeko-Hangry: Intense hunger drives it to extremes of violence, and the electricity in its cheek sacs has converted into a Dark-type energy.
Hunger hormones affect its temperament. Until its hunger is appeased, it gets up to all manner of evil deeds.
Cufant: It digs up the ground with its trunk. It’s also very strong, being able to carry loads of over five tons without any problem at all.
If a job requires serious strength, this Pokémon will excel at it. Its copper body tarnishes in the rain, turning a vibrant green color.
Copperajah: They came over from another region long ago and worked together with humans. Their green skin is resistant to water.
These Pokémon live in herds. Their trunks have incredible grip strength, strong enough to crush giant rocks into powder.
G-Copperajah: So much power is packed within its trunk that if it were to unleash that power, the resulting blast could level mountains and change the landscape.
After this Pokémon has Gigantamaxed, its massive nose can utterly demolish large structures with a single smashing blow.
Dracozolt: In ancient times, it was unbeatable thanks to its powerful lower body, but it went extinct anyway after it depleted all its plant-based food sources.
The powerful muscles in its tail generate its electricity. Compared to its lower body, its upper half is entirely too small.
Arctozolt: The shaking of its freezing upper half is what generates its electricity. It has a hard time walking around.
This Pokémon lived on prehistoric seashores and was able to preserve food with the ice on its body. It went extinct because it moved so slowly.
Dracovish: Powerful legs and jaws made it the apex predator of its time. Its own overhunting of its prey was what drove it to extinction.
Its mighty legs are capable of running at speeds exceeding 40 mph, but this Pokémon can’t breathe unless it’s underwater.
Arctovish: Though it’s able to capture prey by freezing its surroundings, it has trouble eating the prey afterward because its mouth is on top of its head.
The skin on its face is impervious to attack, but breathing difficulties made this Pokémon go extinct anyway.
Duraludon: Its body resembles polished metal, and it’s both lightweight and strong. The only drawback is that it rusts easily.
The special metal that composes its body is very light, so this Pokémon has considerable agility. It lives in caves because it dislikes the rain.
G-Duraludon: It’s grown to resemble a skyscraper. Parts of its towering body glow due to a profusion of energy.
The hardness of its cells is exceptional, even among Steel types. It also has a body structure that’s resistant to earthquakes.
Dreepy: After being reborn as a ghost Pokémon, Dreepy wanders the areas it used to inhabit back when it was alive in prehistoric seas.
If this weak Pokémon is by itself, a mere child could defeat it. But if Dreepy has friends to help it train, it can evolve and become much stronger.
Drakloak: It’s capable of flying faster than 120 mph. It battles alongside Dreepy and dotes on them until they successfully evolve.
Without a Dreepy to place on its head and care for, it gets so uneasy it’ll try to substitute any Pokémon it finds for the missing Dreepy.
Dragapult: When it isn’t battling, it keeps Dreepy in the holes on its horns. Once a fight starts, it launches the Dreepy like supersonic missiles.
Apparently the Dreepy inside Dragapult’s horns eagerly look forward to being launched out at Mach speeds.
Zacian: Known as a legendary hero, this Pokémon absorbs metal particles, transforming them into a weapon it uses to battle.
This Pokémon has slumbered for many years. Some say it’s Zamazenta’s elder sister—others say the two Pokémon are rivals.
Zacian-Crowned:Now armed with a weapon it used in ancient times, this Pokémon needs only a single strike to fell even Gigantamax Pokémon.
Able to cut down anything with a single strike, it became known as the Fairy King’s Sword, and it inspired awe in friend and foe alike.
Zamazenta: In times past, it worked together with a king of the people to save the Galar region. It absorbs metal that it then uses in battle.
This Pokémon slept for aeons while in the form of a statue. It was asleep for so long, people forgot that it ever existed.
Zamazenta-Crowned: Its ability to deflect any attack led to it being known as the Fighting Master’s Shield. It was feared and respected by all.
Now that it’s equipped with its shield, it can shrug off impressive blows, including the attacks of Dynamax Pokémon.
Eternatus: The core on its chest absorbs energy emanating from the lands of the Galar region. This energy is what allows Eternatus to stay active.
It was inside a meteorite that fell 20,000 years ago. There seems to be a connection between this Pokémon and the Dynamax phenomenon.
E-Eternatus: As a result of Rose’s meddling, Eternatus absorbed all the energy in the Galar region. It’s now in a state of power overload.
Infinite amounts of energy pour from this Pokémon’s enlarged core, warping the surrounding space-time.
