Mmkay, so this is Pokemon Biology. Not a class, just discussion. Now that you know what's going to be in this topic, I'll kick it off with something random:

Well, I've taken a look at the Mr. Mime family, and I've derived this:

-The blue stuff is a very weak coating, used mainly by mime jr. because it can't get much better, due to being so weak
-The pink stuff is the weak spot, the opened part of the skin. Mr. Mime's face and limbs are exposed, and so is most of Mime Jr.'s body. The rest of the coatings are built to protect these sensitive pink parts.
-The red parts are slightly stronger. Mr. Mime has them, and they are placed all around his body, on the corners of his torso and on Mime Jr's nose. It seems to hold the white part together.
-The white part seems to be the power source, and the most protective. Mr. Mime is covered in it, and Mime Jr. has it on the ball of its hat. Mr. Mime also has it on its hands, which it NEEDS, seeing as the hands are where it's attacks come from. In fact, I bet that the Shadow Balls and the Thunderbolts all come from Mr. Mime's fingertips

Discuss. There is no general topic except for Pokemon Biology, so just make sure to stay within that, and you can talk about just about anything. But please try to stick with the current topic.

Interesting topic.

well ok I did Garchomp randomly.

The dark blue is the tough epidermis (big word: outer layer of skin), and provides most of Garchomp's defense.

The red area on its stomach is slightly thinner skin, and is the exposed spot. Evolution left its stomach as a prime target for attacks.

The yellow star on its skull is the elemental power source, where energy for attacks like Fire Fang is stored and released. The yellow section on its abdomen is a sensory organ, where if in the event of Sandstorm occuring, it senses the weather change and sends the nervous system into overdrive, increasing its overall evasiveness.

I haven't think deeply about Pokemon Biology, but I came with some kind of the Biology of Banette family.

-Shuppet is composed mainly of dark feelings that collects from humans.

-The function of the horn of Shuppet is to absorb the bad feelings that humans emanates and transform it into dark energy.

-When Shuppet is full of dark energy, it must possess an old plush doll for containing it, that's how it evolves into Banette.

-After evolving into Banette, the dark energy that Shuppet collected remains inside, granting it ghostly powers. So, we can say that the dark energy is Shuppet/Banette source power.

-If the mouth of Banette is opened, the dark energy will scape from the Pokemon, leaving Banette so weak that it could die.

?

Let's see...

's eye has multiple color (just see)! And this colors dissapear mysteriously when it had evolved into . Maybe it means these eyes holds secret powers, but when they evolved the secret power is gone too. (Maybe the secret power isn't a ghost-type? Because 's power is focused with the ghost-type.}

It is beacuse the light focus on it and its eye special ability... as you see this pokemon as well as many other ghost-type pokemon can see ghosts (dead pokemon/ people) so its eye is diffrent.

Why do you keep guessing the biology of Shuppet when I already did it?

Anyways, here is a challenge: I will give 10 psybucks to the user who explains how Remoraid (fish) can evolve into Octillery (octopus) with reasons that have sense.

OK I found out that to evolve a Remoraid into a Octillery, It would have to lose it's WHOLE Skeleton.
Ouch!

+ If and were real sea creatures, they would be
Clione or Sea Butterflies.

But their personalities (Phione to a Clione) would be odd because a Clione is a very vicious predator while Phione is very Gentle and Cudddly.

Here is a picture of them:

k so imma talk about shellos

Originally, all Shellos looked the same, no matter which side of Coronet the were on. They were a purplish color. They had the ears of east shellos we see today, and the spikes from the west sides. All this was before they went all LA gangster-style on us and were either 'east side' or 'west side'.

As time passed, the shellos began evolving (in the sense of "monkeys into humans", not "shellos into gastrodon") However, their environments changed them somewhat. East side shellos spent much more time in ocean watee, with ocean threats like Sharpedo, so they gained a blue and green color for camouflage. In order to swim faster, their spikes formed into flippers of a sort.

Meanwhile, West side Shellos were in water as well, but as there is mostly land on the western part, they had to be protected from land and air predators like Staravia and Luxio. Thus, their spikes became more pronounced. The flipperlike things on their heads, which were easy for flyers to swoop down and grab, curled up into a bun. As for color, the red let shellos hide in mud without being seen.

That is why shellos look different

Let's study the shinx line.


The tuft on it's head is used for camouflage, for example, if it were to hide in grass, the top of it's head would look like some of the grass, if that were not there it's head would stick out and it could be easily seen. The star on it's tail is a main energy source, a source of electricity, which then travels through the black tail of shinx, and the tail gives the electricity a bit of extra charge due to being black, and then it travels to the shinx's body, were it then will focus the electricity in whatever direction, thusly releasing a deadly amount of electricity. The yellowness in it's eyes are caused by the electricity it always keeps stored in it's body, well, sort of, glowing through. It's evolutions release more electricity due to having more black fur, and longer tails, giving the electricity more of a boost then the common shinx.

I just have to do my favorite pokémon line, the Ralts line.

The ralts family, being psychic types, needs something to amplify their powers, like Mr. mime does with its hands. In order to cope with this need, They evolved horns, which can be clearly seen on Ralts, Kirlia, and Gallade. It is harder to see on Gardevoir, because its horns are no longer on its head. This is also true for gallade, however it still has one horn on its head.
Another obvious trait about this family is how much they look like humans performing different dances. The Kirlia's "Tutu" is the most obvious of these traits. In fact, they look so much like female dancers, for a while it was thought that there were no males of this species, and were thought to be closely related to Jynx because of this. It wasn't until John Gallade (which the male evolution is named after) conducted extensive research on these pokémon and proved the existence of males in this species, discovered that they are actually related to Chansey and Muk, and discovered the Pokémon Gallade that this theory was debunked.
The last topic that will be covered is the coloration of this species. The green coloration is believed to be for camouflage, as this pokémon shares territory with dangerous predators such as Mightyena. However, in the rare case of a shiny, this species moves into a city or town because of the lack of camouflage.

Whew... I just made that up on the spot. so its probably crappy.

Drifblim's cloud works like a lung of sorts, expanding and contracting slowly to circulate air throughout the body. However, since Drifblim is usually moving, it doesn't need to be big, since air gets forced into it anyways.

The reddish thing at the bottom is confex, and allows Drifblim to speed up by leaning forward and catching the wind behind, which pushes it forward. Again, it doesn't need to be very big since Drifblim is more or less circular, so the force gets spread around evenly.

Two little theories from three months ago...

Heres a Noobish one on Shuckle


Shuckle is a Worm in a Rock, heres a Story of how that came to be



Nothing can Penetrate a Rock, it is Solid and nothing can Break it down.

Worms are very Vunerable to Predators like Pidgeyotto and Staravia.

Shuckles are formed by Worms running away from thier Prey, And hiding in rocks. Worms are full of nutrients to help them Survive.

Over time, the Worm Eats away at the Rock, and makes little tunnelholes. Once it Finishes, if becomes a Shuckle, The Nutrients in the Worms body, makes the Rock more Sturdier and Harder, and also turns it Redish color. It also takes the Rock as a Part of its body.


That was a very Short, but Explanitory Version of Shuckles.
Thanks to Lone Wanderer, for Inspiration in his Avatar.


Heres a Story of how Shinys came to be.


In the World, there are People who are Called Albinos. They are Discolored and Weird Colored people. Some Shinys are like that. Some are born Different, and everything else. Some are Colored different by Scientists.


But some, Like the Red Gyarados, Are different.

Gyarados builds up rage, Day in and day out, Because They are confined to lakes, and Pokeballs. I guess they dont want to be.

Some build up to Much Rage, and Turn Red, And unleashes all thier rage (Outrage).


Others, Like the one in the anime,As Magikarp, Get mad, Evolve and Fail to lose thier Color.


Thier, i think im done. Yep. I bet some others can make up better ones than that, so feel free to Remake them.

That doesn't explain a lot, so no psybucks for you.


Now, I want to make Cacnea/Cacturne biology.

-For surviving in the desert, Cacnea has long roots for finding water.
-The spikes prevent Cacnea from losing water.
-As the time passes, Cacnea's blood slowly transforms into a liquid substance similar to the desert sand.
-When all Cacnea's blood has transformed into the sand substance, it will affect Cacnea's body completely, transforming it into Cacturne.
-Because it lost the roots it had as Cacnea, Cacturne now can walk and catch prey.
-Cacturne only hunts at night, when the weather is cold, for not losing energy under the desert sun and for hunting exhausted prey.
-Cacturne's "hat" is for blocking the sun rays.
-The power source of Cacturne is its sand blood. The sand blood provides Cacturne's body with energy for moving.

Let me Talk about Vileplume.

In Earth, It is the Rafflesia Arnoldi. The biggest flower in the whole world.
It can be found in the tropical countries.

It smells like flesh.

BTW Darjulok here's more:

Let me show you how far apart fish and octopi are biologically.

Animals ->
CHORDATA (go this way if you’re a fish)
or MOLLUSCA (go this way if you’re an octopus)

That’s right, the very first division of the Animal Kingdom splits them apart. I mean, for Remoraid to physically become an octopus, it would have to lose its whole skeleton. And that’s got to hurt. [/quote]

In that case, then mutation is the closest explanation of Remoraid evolving into Octillery because it can't just rearrange or replace its bones.

You won the Psybucks because you gave a reason.

Eevee is a fox-like Pokemon that spread like widefire. Orginaly Eevee never had any evolutions untill the Eevees spread throughout the world. They lived only in grassy fields in a few places around the world before this. In order to live in new places Eevee had to ajust to the surroundings, and this brought about the evolutions of Eevee.

When it came to the water environments Eevee gained gills, scales, and a fin. As it grew to it's new habitat the body then had the power to melt to water completely. This is how Eevee became Vaporeon. Some how the change Eevee gained was placed in the power of the Water Stone.

Some Eevees moved to high mountain ranges where thunder storms come often. In the event of things some Eevees died from the lightning. So in order to live Eevees developed long needle-like fur to absorb the electrical shock. Jolteon came to be born from these events, and some how the Thunder Stone has the power of evolution.

Other mountain ranges had volcanos. Eevees wanted to live there, but it has too hot for them. In order to live there they store heat in their bodies so they can resist the heat of volcanos. When Eevees finaly stored enough heat, the fur become red and fluffy. This new breed of Eevee came to be known as Flareon.

Eevees that move close to the equator had to deal with the bright sun. Sunlight made it harsh for the Eevees so they lost their thick fur and grew short fur. The new fur had a velvet feel and had the power to reflect sunlight so it can be kept cool. This kind came to be as Espeon. Their eyes never adapted to the sunlight so they then gained a sixth sence so to see without their eyes. The two-ended tail was made so that they can communicate with others from far distances from which they did not gain telepithy as a psychic power. The power of love and sunlight can somehow change Eevees to Espeons quickly now.

Some Eevees chose to be nocturnal, they slept in caves during the day and hunted for food at night. The patterns for this hunting party took place on moon lit nights so they could see. They gain red eyes that could see in the dark without moonlight. Their fur became short and black so that they could blend in with the darkness of night. Because they hunted in packs they developed glowing yellow patchs of fur as to confuse their prey and lead them to the other ones. This came to be as the Pokemon, Umbreon. Nowadays, Eevee can evolve to this pokemon quickly with the power of night and love.

Thick forsets came to be homes for Eevees. Catching food in the jungle became too hard for the Eevees so they ate plant life. Their main source of food was a special kind of moss rich in chlorophyll. As time went by the chlorophyll in their bodies move to blend with the cells of their bodies. They then took the form of a plant, and no longer eat the moss. Since now that this new Pokemon, Leafeon, can use photosynthesis all it needs is rich soil, clean water, and lots of sunlight. Eevees of today only need to be close to that moss in order for it to evolve.

The remaining Eevee groups move to more snowy areas in the south and in the north. So to live in the cold they developed fur that was chemicaly similar to ice. To get their fur like this Eevees rubbed against rocks cover in ice. This plan somehow worked for them, but the icy fur was too heavy for them so their new fur became shorter. Today it is said that an Eevee brought to that same kind of rock will evolve on the spot to the ice pokemon, Glaceon.

That is how Eevee obtained all of its forms. It is still uncertain how Eevee can change to its new forms so quickly when it took ten years for these Eevees to come to be. Pokemon Researchers came up with this conclusion, "When the evolved forms had children they where, Eevees. Those Eevees can evolve quickly but only to the forms of there parents. So how Eevees evolve to all their forms today has to mean that they carry the genetic data of their evolved forms because all of their ansetors had to be one of each of these Pokemon."

Nice theory... but there are a few errors... :roll:

It is known how Eevee evolves - Look at the pokédex entries:

R/B - Its genetic code is irregular. It may mutate if exposed to radiation from element stones.
R/S - Eevee has an unstable genetic makeup that suddenly mutates due to the environment in which it lives.

So basically, Eevee has very unstable DNA, which is affected by the environment (i.e. Leafeon & Glaceon) it can also be altered by by radiation given off by special stones each of which has a different effect (Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon - and Espeon and Umbreon in XD) and I would guess that day and night have an effect on it, but only when it is really happy about its environment (so it doesn't need to evolve via the environment ) - (Espeon, Umbreon)

To evolve the altered DNA needs to be fixed at growth - hence the evolution at locations or day/night, so it only evolves at a level-up. However the radiation given off by the element stones is so strong that it immediately prompts a total change.


However your in depth descriptions are more interesting

Well the thing is that how Eevees and their split evolutions came to be from long ago. The Pokedex refers to Eevees of today. And how they can evolve today comes from the fact that they evolved from a long period of time. The Eevees of today have that irregular genetic code because somehow down the line of their famliy tree they are connected to Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon. This is why they have mutated DNA.

For more detail, Eevees from long ago wouldn't evolve from the stones, but because of their genes containing DNA from Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, they react to the stones based on the stone and DNA connected to it. (Ex. The energy of a Fire Stone reacts with the Flareon DNA in Eevee causing it to evolve into Flareon)

Eevees that evolve to Espeon and Umbreon evolve when their DNA reacts to light or darkness. Eevee builds up power to evolve to them based on happiness. The triggers to activate the energy from happiness is time and leveling up. Leveling up releases the stored power, and light or darkness allows the DNA of Espeon and Umbreon to react and change Eevee to one of them respectivily.

Leafeon and Glaceon have almost a similar affect as Espeon and Umbreon, but only require the stones found in the Sinnoh Region. Moss Rock is covered with the moss that Eevees ate to become Leafeon, and Ice Rock is covered in the same type of ice Eevees used to become Glaceon. From the energy released from leveling up the moss or ice from the rocks will react the Leafeon or Glaceon DNA hinden in Eevee.

This should make my explation of the Eevees more clear, because from the long term evolution, and breeding with the different Eeveelutions Eevee can quicking evolve based on the theory I have.

I am going to try a more artificial Pokemon:

was computer generated, being the older version of its family it is pixelated. Its pointed shape is designed so it can traverse through cyberspace.

occurs when a is upgraded, it is more rounded and has been designed to stop the whittling of trainers (We want better graphics for our porygons) Originally designed to travel through space, this plan was scraped in the early stages due to in ability to even fly

is the results of selective breeding of Porygons, as with everything, hackers tried to make something better but made it looking much worse. with nothing linking its hands to its torso except pure code it sometimes loses its hands.

In order to breed this pokemon must make use of the COPY and PASTE tools on most computers, feeding this mon is impossible because it is programmed to open its mouth. Porygon has no internal organs and is believed to be hollow

its teeth arnt rele teath at all as u can see they look just like the shell grew into the jaw

Hey, let me create some more.
had a horn at its head, but when it evolves, the horn location changes suddenly... It's wierd. However it is possible because when evolve, their size changed. The body moves but the horn don't.

This is how remoraid can evolve into octillery:

Remoraids used to not evolve. Instead, they hunted for food in schools. One time while they were hunting, they saw an octopus like creature that didn't evolve either, octillery. It was also in a school. The remoraid decided that the new creature was stronger than it, so the remoraid and octillery agreed on joining schools.

The remoraid were only male and the octillery were only female back then. Their school was growing smaller, and they knew they had to rejuvenate the numbers in their school, so, they bred. Their young were remoraid. After a few weeks of hunts, having remoraid and octillery genes in them, they turned into octillery. Soon, there were only evolving remoraids in the world.

Here is a biology article on Venusaur.

This pokemon uses both it's mouth and synthesis to feed it's itself.They drink water which is stored into thier bodies when possible transformed into energy using light synthesis.Venusaur's diet is based on large plants and leaves and has no problem reaching them due to his extended whips.They may seem quite slowmoving and sleepy but are very good at dodging attacks.This pokemon also makes use of solarbeam.It concentrates light but instead of absorbing it it keeps at it's specialy desingned petals of it's flowers and releases it.The light may seem harmless but concertated it cause major damage by the means of heat and radiation(solar rays).So in concusion Venusaur's energy is centered at it's flower.However,due to it's large size it uses body attacks as well.
