Fun fact of the day! Stunfisk are actually an amphibious fish! While they still breathe through gills, they've evolved to be able to breathe air so long as they stay moist. This allows them to hunt on land as well as in the water. Adding on their ability to live in both freshwater and saltwater environments and you have a surprisingly widespread predator!

#what's also cool is that they can basically be anywhere with enough groundwater and loose enough soil #that's why they're so abundant in the galarian mines #the mining operations basically gave them a lot of disturbed soils with plenty of water to stay moist with #ooc note: real flounders aren't amphibious this is just my explanation for why stunfisk is rarely ever encountered in actual bodies of wate #some flounders can live in both freshwater and saltwater though! they usually will be born in freshwater and go to oceans to spawn #i think stunfisk would do that as well #pokemon irl #rotomblr
