-The scientific name for Talonflame is "Falco cinialus" which translates to "Ash falcon"
-Talonflame are birds of prey and are close relatives of Pidgeot and Fearow
-Talonflame'a habitat includes woodlands, deserts, and cities. The ones that live in woodlands and cities make their nests on high trees or tall buildings, while the ones in deserts will often make their nests on top of large bolders
-Talonflame are one of the fastest flying types that aren't legendaries or mythicals, being able to fly at 310 mph
-Talonflame hunt many small bird pokemon like Pikipek and Wingull
-While fletchling crossbreeds or pokemon crossed with fletchling aren't rare, the Talonflame rarely mate pokemon that aren't Talonflame due to them being very prideful
-Unlike Fletchling and Fletchinder, who need to heat up their flames, Talonflame's flame sac is always burning hot. To prevent overheating, Talonflame will fly at top speeds to let their flames loose

-To protect their eyes when flying, Talonflame have developed third eyelids
-Along with that, Talonflame have indented eyes and black markings around their eyes to protect them from the glare of the sun and the wind
-While fletchling migrate to warmer climates during the winter, Fletchinder and Talonflame stay since they can create enough heat to keep them warm. During the winter, parents of young fletchling will guard stay in their nests to keep their young warm, while their partner goes and brings them food. They switch rolls every couple of hours(they get really fat in the winter as well and it's adorable)
-In the winter, Talonflame will puff their feathers out to keep warmth in, which also makes them fluffier
-Female Talonflame tend to be larger than the males
-In Kalos, Talonflame are one of the main natural causes of wildfires
-Talonflame has also been known as "The Sun Bird" throughout Kalosian myths due to their flames and flying type
-Throughout many Kalosian, Paldean, and Armorian myths, Talonflame's feathers are said to give the ability to regenerate limbs
-Talonflame feathers are very hot and very popular with collectors. But most researchers suggest that you shouldn't pick them up without proper protection because they can and will spontaneously combust

I'm so used to the Lucario and Gallade in Galar trying to kill you, but apparently, the ones in Paldea are a lot less aggressive. Pretty neat. My theory is that it's because the wild area and towns are a lot more connected than they are in Galar, so they're just used to seeing humans.

Fidough Facts
Tumblr media
(Art by Tika Matsuno)
(Remake of old post that I might've deleted, I can't remember)
-The scientific name for Fidough is "Pajoes canis" which roughly translates to "Batter dog
-Fidough and Dachsbun have been with humans for thousands of years
-When first hatched, Fidough bodies are very soft and squishy to the point where it can be a danger to them. To harden them out, their Daschbun mothers will warm them up by licking them or cuddling them with her well-baked body
-Fidough will sometimes sleep in furnaces or ovens to keep their bodies warm
-Fidough and Daschbun used to be common all throughout Kalos until a Civil War, where they were accused of eating all the bread and leaving everyone hungry. All the Fidough and Daschbun were then killed out of anger
-Fidough feel little pain on their neck fat, making it a great spot for their mothers to pick them up
-When Fidough are scared, they will puff up their neck fat to appear larger and more intimidating
-Fidough's diet consists mostly of sugar and bread. Unlike most Canine pokemon, Fidough can eat things like Chocolate and grapes
Tumblr media
-Fidough don't have great hearing, so they have a great sense of smell to make up for it
-Wild Fidough are commonly found living in groups throughout cities. In Paldea, Fidough are very loved to the point where it's not uncommon to see wild Fidough on trains or in stores
-Fidough breeding is very common throughout Paldea, where they're bred to resemble different breads and pastries (remeber; not all of these variants are crossbreeds. Just felt the need to clear that out)
-Fidough urine smells like freshly baked cake
-The Fidough line is known to be incredibly stubborn, so it's best to start training them at a young age
-A group of Fidouguh is called a loaf
-While they are very docile now, they were originally bred for hunting small pokemon before people realized how useful their yeast could be. They kept their trait of being good diggers though

Delibird Facts
Tumblr media
In honor of the upcoming holidays, here are Delibird Facts!
-The scientific name for Delibird is "Avis Holius" which roughly translates to "Holiday bird"
-Delibird are in the Spheniscidae family, making them related to pokemon like Empoleon and Eiscue
-Delibird carry food and other materials in their tail sacs. While they often give this food to other people or pokemon, they will politely refuse if they have young they're caring for
-Delibird are biologically designed to overcollect more food since they end up giving so much away
-While their food has helped many people in desperate times, don't expect to always
-Delibird mate for life
-Yes, Delibird can fly. They just don't do it often. It's actually surprising they can fly, since their wings are very weak and their bodies are very fat
-Their blubber helps keep them warm in cold climates. The Delibird in alola usually have less blubber
Tumblr media
-You'd think that with their webbed feet and blubbery bodies, the Delibird would live near water, but there is almost no water on the icy mountain peaks where they make their homes. Their bodies are the biggest hint thst they're recently diverged from Empoleon
-While they can swim well, they're very buoyant and can have trouble swimming in deep waters
-While Delibird were common depictions of Santa, many Unovan movies had instead made Beartic Santa which has spread, so now Delibird are seen as Santa's helpers during the holidays
-Delibird are one of the most common pokemon for post office workers for how much they can carry in their sacs
-Delibird with the largest tails are the most respected in their flocks
-Delbird court each other by singing in groups. The tunes they sing vary between each group, but the songs they sing are called carols
-Delibird will also give their partners rocks as gifts (if I hear someone say anything about how that's stupid, please note how humans do the exact same thing)
-When Delibird first hatch, they come out with completely white down. They gain their red feathers as they reach adulthood

do you have any facts about Blaziken?
Blaziken Facts
Tumblr media
-The scientific name for Blaziken is "Gallus Cinus" which eoughly translates to "Ash Rooster"
-Wild Blaziken live in Savannas or deserts
-Blaziken are omnivores and, in the wild, eat any bug type, grass type, or small mammalian pokemon they can get ahold of
-Blaziken are actually great parents, and will take in abandoned eggs from other bird pokemon. There was an instance where a Blaziken mothered Quaxly who had lost their mother (she also freaked out bcuz they went to the water and torchic can't swim very well, but it was all fine in the end)
-While wild Blaziken aren't aggressive towards humans, they don't like them getting to close either, and will defend themselves with powerful kicks if they feel threatened. However, it's not uncommon for curious Wild Blaziken to come up to investigate you. If this happens, stay calm and make yourself poor weaker; they usually don't pick on anything that is weaker than them (unless it's prey but you're not prey)
-Blaziken live in groups, and are often the leaders and only fully evolved ones in their flocks. If another member of their flock evolves into a Blaziken, the two will either fight for the role of leadership or the first Blaziken will drive out the newly evolved one
-Male Blaziken are bigger and more protective than female Blaziken. They're also noisier, which alerts other members of their flock
-Male Blaziken are known to be more protective of their trainers as well
-While Combusken were bred for both fighting and farming, Blaziken was bred purely for fighting, which is why they're so aggressive compared to other starters
Tumblr media
-The sterotype that Blaziken caw when the sun rises is actually partially true. They caw to warn other members of their flock or to get their attention, and the sun rising lets them know it's day and time to get up to avoid any potential predators
-The downside to this though is that you can train them to be quiet, but they'll come into your room and wake you up at dawn either way
-Blaziken have a status on the Hoenian Horoscope! They're the 10th Zodiac
-Combusken and Blaziken meat is commonly eaten around the world, but in Hoenn, killing and eating a Blaziken can get you fined and a potential 3 years in prison
-While Blaziken can swim and do fine in water, they don't like it and instead bathe themselves using mud, dirt, and dust
-Despite being birds, and most birds being in the flying egg group, Blaziken are NOT in the flying egg group. Researchers think that the ability to breed with other birds died out because they spent all of their time on the ground away from them (my opinion is that it's just egg groups are weird but I can't be biased when sharing facts...)
-Like most fire types, Blaziken will warm their eggs using their fire abilities
-Blaziken's closest relatives are Hawlucha, Dodrio, and Unfezant

Dragonite Facts
Tumblr media
(Art by m0kuz0 on Twitter)
-The scientific name for Dragonite is "Serpenta Dracomarita" which roughly translates to "Dragon-seafaring serpent"
-Despite having limbs, Deragonite is still classified as a serpent due to Dratini and Dragonair. Biologically speaking, they seem to be both Serpents and Wyverns
-Because of its many stories of Dragonite saving sailors from shipwrecks, Dragonite has been nicknamed "The sea Guardian" or "Guardian of the Sea" depending on where you're from
-Dragonite don't have many living relatives, but a their closest living relative would be Milotic (it's not even that close though)
-Dragonite are so rare in the wild because they make their homes on small islands in the middle of the oceans where storms are high and the tides are rampant. They live with other members of it's line
-Dragonite are omnivores and primarily eat fruits and fish
-Dragonite are very fond of shiny objects and are known to collect them. In places where Dragonite live, there's often hoards of treasures that they have found
-Dragonite are some of the most docile Draconidae and are often used to help gets be less afraid of larger dragon types. However, wild Dragonite can still be dangerous and they will rampage when angry
Tumblr media
(Art by Atsushi Furusawa)
-Researchers still struggle to understand how Dragonite can fly so well, as their wings would be too small to lift their heavy bodies. However, Dragonite continue to fly due to A) they're wings are stronger than they look B) they do not care for what us meager humans think
-Dragonite are known to get into viscous fights with Kingdra, most often started by the Kingdra's doing
-Due to being dragons, Dragonite don't like the cold at all
-Due to Dragonite being the only naturally occurring Dragon types in Kanto, they're highly praised there, and it's where many of their myths originate
-While Dragonite are naturally found in aquatic environments, they do completely okay on land. Researchers think that the reason Dragonite stay so close to the water is so they can have easier access to fish and Dratini and Dragonair, who spend a lot more time in the water the Dragonite
-Dragonite will shed their scales quite often. Due to Dragonite'a rarity, their scales are highly sought after

-Delphox are vulpines, and their closest relatives are Ninetales and Thievul
-Delphox have the second longest lifespan of any foxmon, being able to live for hundreds of years. The first ones for that spot is Ninetales and Hisuian Zoroark, who are able to live for 1,000 years
-In the wild, Delphox can be found in Kalosian forests, deserts, and chapparals. They make their homes in large caves or dens

-While Delphox are solitary, they sometimes come in groups to practice their psychic abilities and meet with other Delphox and Braixen
-Delphox are monogamous and most often lay up to 1-6 eggs in a liter
-The thick black markings around their eyes help reflect away their fires glare, which makes it easier to focus on hunting and visions
-In 1600s-1700s, people with a Braixen/Delphox were thought to be witches. Since they were said to have immunity to fire, these people were drowned or hung instead of burned
-In old Kalosian legends, they eye of a Delphox is said to grant psychic powers and ward off evil spirits
-Delphox are known to be quite particular about their fur, spending a lot of time grooming it. If a Delphox's fur is matted, it is often a sign that they are sick
-They are Crepsculular, meaning they are awake through the evening and night

Charjabug Facts
Tumblr media
-The scientific name for Charjabug "Larva Voltus" which translates to "Volt larva"
-Charjabug are one of the few electric types that prefer to make their homes underground. Researchers say that it's because when they need to release excess electricity, the ground will absorb it
-Charjabug can be found living in woodlands and near power plants. In Woodlands, they eat tree bark and dried leaves and in power plants, they will eat the electricity
-Charjabug will often swarm around Vilavolt for the electricity they give off
-It's more seen with Vikavolt, but Charjubug are beetles in the Stag family
-Charjabug is biologically a pupa, but what makes them special is that they don't act much like pupas. They still eat lots of food and still move around a lot
-In Galar, Charjabug are scene as pests because they eat so much electricity
-The idea for batteries was inspires by Charjabug (and Joltik, but mostly Charjabug)
-Charjabug have compound eyes
-While Charjabug evolve with a thunderstone, they can also evolve by getting struck by lightning or eating enough electricity. While most will look for thunderstones or try and eat a lot of electricity to evolve, some brave Charjabug will actively seek out storms and try to get struck by lightning to evolve
Tumblr media
-When stepped on, Charjabug will reflexively release excess electricity (believe me; it hurts a lot)
-Charjabug are able to release specific electrical sound waves to communicate with Grubbin and other Charjabug around the area
-In some parts of the world, Charjabug meat is seen as a delicacy
-Charjabug can't smell in the way that humans can, but their mandibles can sense odor particles
-Charjabug aren't raised by Vikavolt and instead hatch and form groups with their siblings. This means that if you see a group of Charjabug or Grubbin, they all could be family. They often separate once(if) they evolve
-When breeding, Charjabug can lay up to 25 tiny little eggs in a clutch. They'll bury these eggs in a nest underground
-Researcher'a believe that primitive Charjabug could've been electric/poison types
-When they're about to evolve, Charjabug will make (gross) pulsating movements around their bodies and it looks like they're being split open (it is frightening)

Sprigatito Facts
Tumblr media
(Art by Mpupa on Deviantart)
-The scientific name for Sprigatito is "Catus Magus" which translates to "Kitten magician"
-Baby Sprigatito are called sprigs
-Weed made from Sprigatito is surprisingly common in Paldea (uhh, weed isn't as dangerous as people make it out but most people on Rotomblr are minors and it really isn't safe to smoke until 25, so be safe)
-Originally, Sprigatito was bred only for the royal family of Paldea (which is why their fur pattern has the fleur de lis on it). But the Sprigatio there had so many kittens that they decided to release them into the wild. The overabundance caused mass poaching to happen, making them very rare to find in the wild today
-Because of their over abundance, and them evolving to survive the harsher climates, members of the Sprigatito line were seen as bad luck during this time period
-In the wild, Sprigatito live in meadows, fields, forests, and plains
-Despite common stereotype, Sprigatito actually enjoy the rain
-Female Sprigatito are called Sprigatita
-Sprigatito fur becomes drier in autumn
Tumblr media
(Art by Megumi Mizutani)
-If Sprigatito can't find any berries, they'll instead bask in sunlight to get their energy
-Unlike a lot of catmon, Sprigatio can handle foods like grapes and almonds
-Members of the Sprigatito line can't taste sweets very well
-Despite being great climbers, they can't climb face-down trees because their paws face forwards instead of backward
-Unlike Meowscarada, Sprigatio (and Floragato) prefer to stay low to the ground instead of hiding in trees
-While Sprigatio and the rest of its line are considered diurnal, it's hard to accurately say since they kinda sleep whenever they need (we should all be like Sprigatito)
-The hatch time for most Sprigatito is in the spring

Mimikyu Facts
(@shadow-strawberry )
Tumblr media
(Art by mugita_konomi on Danbooru)
-The scientific name for mimkyu is "Tractis desiatria" which translates to "Tangible desire"
-You should never try and remove Mimikyu's costume for the danger it poses to you, and it can permanently damage your Mimikyu's trust in you
-Mimkyu's line on the evolution tree is very difficult to discuss and classify. Researching them is also incredibly difficult from how dangerous just seeing them is. Since what has been observed, they seem to be a black gaseous form, so researchers theorize they're relayed to the Ghastly line
-Mimikyu have been known to make costumes for other popular pokemon, the most common variant being Eevee. Nothing changes with behavior, though
-Like most ghost types, they don't need to eat, instead just being able to feed on the life force and emotions of other living things. To prevent anyone from getting hurt, you can contact your local pokemon center or league to arrange an ethical feeding plan
-However, in the wild when being observed by people, they have been known to eat berries and foods that Pikachu will eat. This stops once they think they aren't being watched
-Mimikyu get very jealous around Pikachu, and they shouldn’t be kept near each other. This isn't present with Pichu and disappears with Raichu
-Mimikyu are known to be very good at crafting and sewing
Tumblr media
-They're very clingy Pokemon and can get jealous easily in general
-All Mimikyu desire in life is affection and love, and they're willing to overlook the negative traits their trainer has as long as they're loved. This makes abuse in Mimikyu very common, since they won't care
-Mimikyu are very protective of their disguises and will avoid things like rain or snow to protect them. They can and will freak out if their disguise has a minor scratch on them, and they're very big neat-freaks
-Mimikyu are able to store a lot of items in their costumes
-While Mimikyu can breed, they don't breed normally since they can't be seen. Instead, they'll just put sperm into the Pokemon of the opposite sex
-Mimikyu will often hide in toy stores in hopes of someone mistaking them for a toy and taking them home
-Mimikyu are long living and it isn't known if they can die old age or natural causes

Slaking Facts
Tumblr media
-The scientific name for Slaking is "Megatherium Loafum" which roughly translates to "Loafing great beast"
-Slaking live in troops with other members of its line. Most of the time, they end up lying around all day with Slakoth while Vigoroth protect them and finds food
-While they can mate, they mostly choose not to. Vigoroth do all of the mating for their species (headcanon from @nerdpokemonheadcanons )
-Slaking eat both grass and leaves. They don't really care
-Unlike Slakoth and Vigoroth, Slaking don't live in trees. Instead, they'll lay on the forest floor eating grass all day
-Throughout history, Slaking have been used as a symbol of lazy kings and rulers
-Unlike Vigoroth, who have very fast digestive systems, Slaking's digestive system is very slow and it takes them about a month for food to fully digest
-Slaking aren't nocturnal or diurnal. They just sleep wherever and whenever they want
Tumblr media
-Slaking don't often take care of themselves, leaving their fur to become dirty and matted. The Vigoroth in their troops are often the ones to groom them
-While most often times Slaking won't attacked when approached, it's still dangerous to approach them since they might release their stored energy or the Vigoroth in their troops will come and defend them
-When a Slaking is about to attack, they will show their teeth. When this happens, for the love of Arceus, turn the other way
-The average lifespan for a Slaking is 40 to 50 years
-Slaking are nearsighted
-Adult male Slaking are known as "Silver beards"
-Slaking's front fangs don't help with much since the flat teeth behind them were made to eat leaves and they don't eat meat. It's there to make them seem more intimidating
-While they are often depicted as slow in many cartoons, Slaking are actually very fast and, at top speed, can run 30 mph

Thanks to your blog, I've recently developed a fond love for bug types! I'd love to hear some fun facts on Cutiefly when you have the time
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you like bug types now too, since a lot of people are scared of them. Nice to have another person who loves them <3
Cutiefly Facts
Tumblr media
(Art by Sarah Yager in Dribble)
-The scientific name for Cutiefly is
"Bombylius cerinthus" which roughly translates to "bee-bread bumblebee"
-While they share a lot of similarities to the Combee line, Cutiefly aren't actually related and Cutiefly are actually in their own family called the Bombyliidae family
-Cutiefly are most commonly found in gardens and meadows, making their homes with other Cutiefly and Ribombee. They don't make hives and instead will form small groups together in logs or tree hollows
-Cutiefly in Galar often fly over to Gossifluer, trying to take some of their pollen. Gossifluer don't appreciate this much
-Sometimes, Cutiefly will eat so much pollen that they fall asleep in the flowers
-The Cutiefly in Alola are the biggest as they have the largest flowers to eat from
-Cutiefly and Ribombee have the same aura sensing abilities of Riolu and Lucario, but they're a lot weaker and only work on things like plants and some of their trainer's strong emotions. Apparently, when someone is excited, their aura resembles a flower in full bloom, which leads Cutiefly to gather around them. Researchers are still studying how aura can affect other things as well, and if there's a way for us to literally see it, like Lucario and Cutiefly can
Tumblr media
-Cutiefly are hunted by pokemon like Lurantis, Spinarak, Pineco, and practically all bird-mon
-Like Yanma, Cutiefly can fly forward, backward, and sideways, all while facing the same direction
-While they enjoy Pollen and Nectar, Cutiefly also enjoy foods that are high in sugar, like Gatorade and fruit punch
-Cutiefly often swarm around Butterfree in fear that Butterfree will eat all of the pollen. But, this is only trained behavior, and it is safe to have both a Cutiefly and a Butterfree
-Cutiefly will often lay up to 15 small eggs at a time (gotta produce a lot when everything is hunting you)
-Cutiefly have an aversion to any kind of water since getting wet can make them have trouble flying, which is their only means of escaping predators. They get water from the nectar and fruit juice they drink from

Hi. So I had an egg, and it hatched, and it's a wimpod.
I have no idea how to take care of a wimpod.
Any tips. Pretty please?
- @bug-catcher-lily
Wimpod Care Tips
Tumblr media
Okay, what you need to know about Wimpod is that they are VERY skittish and will run at the first sight of danger. If you want to battle with Wimpod, you need to make sure it trusts you completely to make sure nothing bad happens to it.
Other than that, Wimpod are opportunistic scavengers and can and will steal your food, even if you keep them well fed. But I like to call what they have "the snom treatment." It's when a small bug type needs to eat a lot of food than one would think of them. So, giving them large portions for the meals is basically a requirement.
Tumblr media
(Art by MattGFX on Twitter)
Other than that, Wimpod need a place with water (no, bathtubs don't count). Depending on the variant, you will need either a freshwater or a saltwater tank. If possible, you could also make a small pond area for them in a yard.
While wimpod can usually keep themselves clean, you should still bathe them from time-time-. Make sure you get soap made specifically for them since their skin can be damaged by the soap that we use.
Wimpod live in groups in the wild because of the whole safety in numbers thing. Getting them a friend is a good idea as well.

Can you do a lapras facts?
Lapras Facts
Tumblr media
-The scientific name for Lapras is "Plesiosaurus melodii" which roughly translates to "Melodic near-lizard"
-Lapras and Blastoise are descendants of the Caracosta line
-Lapras used to be on the endangered species list before active government protection and breeding saved them
-Despite what the pokedex says, Lapras can't actually read the minds of people. They're just better at sensing the emotions of people
-This pokemon often hunts other fish pokemon, but some have been known to become vegetarian out if guilt
-Many myths of sirens in Kanto most likely originated from Lapras's singing
-There are 2 main variants of Lapras; the freshwater variant and saltwater variant. Freshwater Lapras tend to be thinner and more smooth, while Saltwater Lapras are the ones seen in the pokedex
Tumblr media
(Art by kirisAki)
-While Lapras live in the cold seas, they'll often migrate to warmer seas to raise their young. They lay their eggs on the beach and bury them under the sand
-Lapras can only carry and lay one egg at a time because of how large they are. The offspring also take many years to mature, taking up to around 16 year to when they can be on their own. This has contributed to their dwindling numbers in the past
-Lapras are long living and can live up to 150 years (please always have a plan, since your Lapras will probably outlive you)
-Lapras are very social pokemon and trainers should have other pokemon on their team that they can socialize with
-Lapras have stayed almost the same throughout history, with the only major deviant being Caracosts, since their environments were so isolated. This is the reason why they're so friendly, since they've never had to worry about predators hunting them
-Lapras can hold their breath for up to an hour
-People in old Galar would often use Gigantimax Lapras as a replacement for boats. It's illegal now (cuz the Galarian government are cowards)
-Lapras's ice pouch (like the fire pouch fire types have but with ice types) is stored in the back of their throat. The insides of their mouths are a lot thicker to keep warm when using their attacks
