#225 Baby - Delibird nest at the edge of sharp cliffs, where few predators dare to hunt for their eggs. When the Delibird chicks hatch, their parents are waiting with food that was gathered in advance. Born with a duller, brown down, the chicks will develop a redder hue as they age. The chicks love to store things in their bag-like tail, but will often forget to hold the bag closed as they hop around, leaving a trail of fallen items behind them. Delibird are generous by nature, and will share the spare food stored in their tail without a second thought. The Delibird with the largest tail is head of the flock, and leads through examples of generous giving to others.
Named: Giftchick - Delibird

#102.5 - Despite looking like a cluster of eggs, Exeggcute are actually more closely related to plant seeds. They stay together and converse by using telepathy. Once they absorb enough energy, the dominant Exeggcute “egg��� will sprout, focusing its energy towards its development, while the others are absorbed as nutrients to become part of the new Exeggutor. A few of the eggs stick around to protect the maturing Exeggecute, who is immobile until its legs fully form. When the lead egg is done evolving, the ones left behind wander off to join other Exeggecute.   [Old Version]
#102.5A -  Although they are the same size as other Exeggcute, the ones produced in Alola are heavier than their mainstream counterparts. The strong sunlight and tropical climate of Alola awakens a hidden power within Exeggcute, causing them to grow quickly, and to extreme heights. A taller form makes developing Exeggcubate more intimidating to possible predators, so they outgrow their reliance on psychic powers and in turn awaken the power of ‘the sleeping dragon.’ These Pokemon are the pride of the Alola people.
Named: Exeggcute - Exeggcubate - Exeggutor

 #335 Baby - Though they are typically lone hunters, Zangoose live in social groups where they aid each other in protecting their eggs from predators, as well as raising and teaching their young. Zangoose pups typically stick to one adult after hatching, who acts as their mentor and protector for a few months, until the pup can hunt and protect itself. Baby Zangoose are born with small claws that grow in quickly as they age, as well as an inquisitive personality. With lightning fast reflexes and a thick hide, even young Zangoose can tangle with venomous snake Pokemon just fine - especially Seviper, which are natural rivals for Zangoose and predators of their eggs. Though adult Zangoose are capable of rising to a bipedal stance in a fight, Zangoose pups lack the balance and strength to do so until they’re older, and fight on all fours. Even as youths, they have a ferocious attitude in battle.
Named: Zantyke - Zangoose
#335 Mega: Though Zangoose are immune to their venom, countless fights with Seviper has left trace amounts of poison in their body. When exposed to Zangoosite and paired with a Trainer with a Mega Stone, the poison in their system is magnified by Mega Energy, granting them a partial Poison-type. Stronger and bulkier than their base stage, Mega Zangoose have also developed poison glands that exude a stream of poison through their claws, making their already powerful swipes even more lethal.
This baby and Mega Zangoose were commissioned.

are you ok?? sorry about your back
Thanks for asking, I'm okay!! It could've been so much worse.
For those that missed my tags the other day, I slipped and fell down my stairs Sunday night. I just got back from an early Christmas celebration with my partner's family, and we were going downstairs and I slipped and landed on my back while falling down the stairs. My back is visibly bruised and a little swollen at the spot of impact, but I didn't break anything and am just sore. It's a pain but I'm really lucky that I'm just a bit banged up and not worse!
My partner was below me on the stairs and actually spilled hot tea on me trying to stop my fall so I also got a minor burn on my ankle, which was more funny at that point then anything else, haha.

#349.5 - Feebas are hardy and tenacious Pokemon that form in schools and are capable of living in both fresh and salt waters, as well as in polluted streams and lakes. Though there’s a large population of Feebas, they tend to cluster in small areas, making them an unusual sight. Their ragged, shoddy appearance makes them unpopular among Trainers; however, their marvelous vitality have made them a subject of modern research. It is rare to see Feebas in the wild who undergo evolution, but it is believed a special diet can trigger the stunning transformation into Milotic. As they mature, their muddy brown scales fall off to reveal the luscious, opalescent cream scales underneath, and their stubby body elongates elegantly.
Named: Feebas - Moarphish - Milotic
[Old Version]

#238.5 - Found in icy caverns, Smoochum are born with sensitive lips, which they use to examine things in their surroundings. Though active, they’re quite clumsy, and often fall; if this happens, it’s important to them to check their reflection and make sure their face isn’t dirty. As Smoochum age, their child-like tottering develops into rhythmic, dance-like motions, which strengthens their budding psychic power. These seductive movements are so alluring that people who witness it are often compelled to dance along. Though their speech sounds close to human words, they seem to communicate mostly through different rhythms and motions.
Named: Smoochum - Kisspell - Jynx  [Old Version]

#325.5 - Spoink rely on bouncing with their spring-like tails to keep their hearts beating, even while asleep. As they age and develop more complex organs, their heart becomes strong enough to pump for itself; despite this, they prefer to keep bouncing until their legs are strong enough to support them comfortably. They use the large pearl they carry to amplify their psychokinetic powers. After focusing their psychic power waves through their pearl for so long, they begin to develop black pearl-like orbs on their body to amplify their power instead. While evolving into Hoghop and later Grumpig, these Pokémon will begin to use peculiar dances to control their opponents. The black pearls they form are highly sought after as exquisite works of art.
Named: Spoink - Hoghop - Grumpig   [Old Version]

#703.5 - Born from temperatures and pressures deep underground, Carbink sleep beneath the surface for hundreds of millions of years after their birth. They are occasionally found during the excavation of caves, though it also said that deep beneath the surface of the world, a pack of Carbink live with their queen in a kingdom of jewels. Carbink do not normally evolve, however, it is believed that when a group of Carbink gather together without a leader, one of the Carbink will undergo a rare mutation, transforming into a powerful, glimmering ruler. Without the societal need of a leader, Carbink will not evolve in captivity, and evolved Carbink, named Diancie, are incredibly rare. The shift from light blue gems into pink is said to be a stunning process, for those few lucky enough to witness it.
Named: Carbink - Prexie - Diancie
Note: Diancie canonically results from a Carbink undergoing a sudden mutation, but you cannot evolve Carbink into Diancie in the games.
#719 Mega - When paired with Diancite, the Mythical Pokemon Diancie are capable of Mega Evolving into the luxurious Mega Diancie, known by those who have seen it as the “Royal Pink Princess”. The energy and pressure released during Mega Evolution causes the rocky exterior of this Pokemon’s lower body to crumble away, revealing a stunning pink diamond. Additional gemstones and adornments add to their regal appearance and aura of nobility. Mega Diancie’s new gemstones aren’t just for show; they grant this Pokemon additional weaponry for their increased attack stats.

#133.57 - Eevee’s unstable genetic makeup allows for this Pokemon to adapt to their environment by altering the composition of their body. If an Eevee lives in the frigid cold, it will adapt by gaining an acute control over its body heat - as well as a resistance to the freezing temperatures. These Eevee will grow a very fine layer of fur, which can be frozen into needle-like spikes and fired off at will. Fully evolved Glaceon are said to emanate such coldness that powdery snow will naturally form around them. However, Eevee are not often native to colder areas, and it is very rare to sight to see a Glaceon in the wild. Trainers can emulate this environment by exposing their Eevee to certain icy stones.
Names: Eevee - Frosteon - Glaceon  [Old Version]

#684.5 - Swirlix have an overwhelming sweet-tooth, and eat nothing but sugary sweets; as a result, their fur is as sticky as the cotton candy it resembles. They can extrude white threads to entangle opponents in battle, though foes may be tempted to eat the saccharine tendrils. As they mature, Swirlix gain a truly impressive sense of smell, able to distinguish the faintest of scents. They are more than happy to team up with pastry chefs in exchange for decadent sweets, and can be found in many high class restaurants.
Named: Swirlix - Sweetuft - Slurpuff ⓘ

#027.5 - While young, Sandshrew live in deep underground burrows in arid locations, emerging only to hunt for food. If threatened, they will instantly roll into a ball for protection. As they age, their brick-like hide grow tough spikes that offer them increased protection, giving this timid Pokemon the confidence to spend more time above ground; some adult Sandslash can even be found nesting in trees! Maturing Sandshrew willl still roll up into a ball, but will instead roll around and attack foes with their sturdy spikes. If anything happens to their spikes and claws, they can quickly regrow them.
#027.5A - Sandshrew have historically lived in desert areas, but frequent eruptions of nearby volcanoes drove Alolan Sandshrew into the snowy mountains, where they evolved to thrive in this new environment. These Sandshrew have a shell of ice covering their skin, which is hard as steel. Their heavy hide slows them down and prevents them from curling up, but greatly increases their defense. As Alolan Sandshrew evolve, they begin to sprout sharp, steel-like spines from their back, which overtime get covered in hard, sharp ice. Their long claws prevent slipping on the tractionless ice, and also help to dig pathways through the deep snow.
Named: Sandshrew - Sandspike - Sandslash ⓘ

#096.5 - Drowzee live in the forests that border towns and cities. Once night falls, they venture into houses, drawn by strong, pleasant dreams, which they consume for nourishment. They remember every dream they eat; if you sleep by one of these Pokemon, they may decide to show you dreams they have consumed in the past. Drowzee have been known to hypnotize people or Pokemon into sleeping, a practice that they continue and refine as they age. Maturing Drowzee, nicknamed Sleepir, will craft their own pendulum from materials they scavenge, which they use to cause drowsiness to anyone who sees its rhythmic swaying. Parents should take care to lock their house at night, as fully mature Sleepir, called Hypno, have been known to carry away sleeping children in the night. Although encounters with wild Hypno are often dangerous, trained individuals have been known to assist doctors with patients who can’t sleep at night.
Names: Drowzee - Sleepir - Hypno

#808.5 - Meltan and Melmetal were worshiped in ancient times as Pokemon with the power to create metal from nothing. For unknown reasons, they have come back to life after 3,000 years, baffling locals and the scientific community. Meltan are curious and expressive Pokemon who are always in search of other Meltan. These Pokemon melt particles of iron and other metals found in the subsoil and absorb them into their body of molten steel, enabling them to generate electricity. When enough Meltan have gathered together, drawn naturally to each other, they will begin to combine into Melmetal. It takes many Meltan to produce a Melmetal, making it impossible for a captured Meltan evolve unless exposed to numerous other Meltan.
Named: Meltan - Melmeld - Melmetal

#677.5 - Espurr are born with immense psychic power that is generated through a special organ located on the sides of their heads. When they are young they are unable to control this powerful energy, and must keep the organ sheltered by their ears in order to contain it; Meowstic have control over their power, but must still cover their organ, which increases intensity as they age. Maturing Espurr will begin to display a drastically different appearance depending on their gender, which will also determine the moves they will naturally learn: a male’s learnset is mostly comprised of supportive and disruptive moves, while a female’s focuses on all-out offense.
Named: Espurr - Nyanvoy - Meowstic ⓘ
