Did you know that there are non mammalian pokemon that are able to nurse and produce milk? Pokemon like Alcreamie produce milk through milk ducts. Alcreamie have their milk ducts in their hand, and Milcery drink from there.
Gastrodon produce milk too, despite not being mammalian. Scientists aren't fully sure as to why, since no other Gastropods produce milk.
Pokemon like Prinplup, Empoleon, the Pidove line and Flamigo produce crop milk, which is something that both male and females of these species make and feed through a thing on their neck called the crop.
Spidops and Ariados mothers produce milk. I find this out a couple of days ago. Not sure how I feel about that. It's near their abdomens. It's also has a lot of protein apparently.
Luvdisc as well. Male and female Luvdisc produce a slime from their skin similar to milk, which their young drink. Since they live in oceans, their milk is very thick and protein rich.
I think this is a more well known fact, but Sharpedo produce milk as well. But what many don't know is that Gabite and Garchomp are also nursing pokemon.
Shuckle don't produce milk, but they feed their young their berry juice.
The Whimsicott line are also nursing pokemon, but they produce nectar; not milk.
