The unholy union of a Pachirisu and a Zubat, Emolgas are actually most closely related to flying frogs. Their mouths are always open in a grin - scientists used to assume that this was to attract a human partner, but it is simply so that they never miss a chance to catch and eat flies.

Rhydon uses the drill on its head to pierce citrus fruits for smoothies and juices. Unfortunately, despite all this effort it goes and eats whole wheels of cheese at the weekends.

Illumise believes she is a famous composer, so she wears her hair stupid and demands to be referred to as 'Ludwig van Beetlehoven'.

Mawile is very uncomfortable about its weight after being bullied as a fat child, but no matter how hard it exercises and how strictly it diets,
the big mouth on its back swallows down cakes whenever its back is turned.

In theory, Skuntank's least-appealing feature would be its stinky defence. Actually, it looks like Donald Trump than Yungoos does. Poor guy.

Linoone was originally cast as the role of Aang in Avatar: The Last Airbender and even went as far as to get Aang's traditional tattoo on its forehead, but Nickelodeon fired Linoone after they released he was just a plain ol' Normal type and would never master all four elements in time for the series finale.

After struggling with body image issues for years, Sealeo grew its current moustache. Now it thinks it looks damn handsome. And who are you to say different? How good's your moustache, eh? Get off its case, and do something about your practically hairless upper lip. It's an embarrassment.

You may have been told that Kyogre is a legendary Pokémon. Alas, this is not the case - it's just a Wailord with some go-faster stripes and semi-interesting mutations that got lucky. It was up all night to get lucky.

That's a fine moustache indeed, but nothing compared to Sealeo's.

Suddenly a bulky white shape loomed up ahead of us, and we flashed on the second torch. It is odd how wholly this new quest had turned our minds from earlier fears of what might lurk near. Those other ones, having left their supplies in the great circular place, must have planned to return after their scouting trip toward or into the abyss; yet we had now discarded all caution concerning them as completely as if they had never existed. This white, waddling thing was fully six feet high, yet we seemed to realise at once that it was not one of those others. They were larger and dark, and according to the sculptures their motion over land surfaces was a swift, assured matter despite the queerness of their sea-born tentacle equipment. But to say that the white thing did not profoundly frighten us would be vain. We were indeed clutched for an instant by a primitive dread almost sharper than the worst of our reasoned fears regarding those others. Then came a flash of anticlimax as the white shape sidled into a lateral archway to our left to join two others of its kind which had summoned it in raucous tones. For it was only a penguin—albeit of a huge, unknown species larger than the greatest of the known king penguins, and monstrous in its combined albinism and virtual eyelessness.

When we had followed the thing into the archway and turned both our torches on the indifferent and unheeding group of three we saw that they were all eyeless albinos of the same unknown and gigantic species. Their size reminded us of some of the archaic penguins depicted in the Old Ones’ sculptures, and it did not take us long to conclude that they were descended from the same stock—undoubtedly surviving through a retreat to some warmer inner region whose perpetual blackness had destroyed their pigmentation and atrophied their eyes to mere useless slits. That their present habitat was the vast abyss we sought, was not for a moment to be doubted; and this evidence of the gulf’s continued warmth and habitability filled us with the most curious and subtly perturbing fancies.

Oops, forgot to nominate the next Pokémon:

Raichu is a fiercely loyal Pokémon. When its friends are in danger, it becomes so angry that its electricity can blow a man's head clean off at thirty paces. Scientists call this phenomenon 'Raichu's fury'.
