Houndoom and Houndour decide their leader through pack fights, with the Leader typically having curved horns that are much larger than the rest.
Emolga don’t have wings, but they can fly using their cape-membrane when they discharge electricity. Sometimes it’s a bit too hard because they often stuff too much food in their pouch.
Leavanny makes clothes for Sewaddle and Swadloon by sewing leaves together with the thread from their mouth.
The fluid inside Victreebel has the same scent as honey, functioning as a lure to catch Pokémon like Butterfree.
We know Leafeon feeds off the sun’s energy, but because their cell composition is similar to plants, they simultaneously clean the air around them through photosynthesis.
Sylveon’s ribbons are actually antenna they use to emit energy waves, which lowers their opponents guard before attacking them.
Glaceon has control over temperature, either freezing water particles in the air to create diamond dust, or freezing their fur to create spikes in attacks.
Umbreon’s ring patterns glow when there’s a full moon. They can see in even in pitch black darkness.
Espeon can read enemy movements using its fur as well as read changes in the weather, but can’t exactly control it.
Flareon can regulate their body temperature, typically 700-800°C, but it can reach 900 which is too hot. So when their fur rises they aren’t heating up – they’re emitting heat and cooling down!
Drowzee feeds on the dream of victims through their nose. Their favorite type of dreams are fun dreams.
Misdreavus never skips a chance to scare somebody. They use a haunting to absorb the fear from victims into the red balls around their neck, becoming a source of energy.
Darkrai is most active during a New Moon and has the power to show nightmares to both people and Pokémon, driving them away from Darkrai’s territory.
Lampent, of course, hides as a lamp, but they also roam cities, following people in their hour of death so they can absorb their souls and light their flame.
You might think that Cofagrigus is attacking innocents, but they are actually keeping the streets clean! Or cemeteries, rather, from grave robbers. If they catch them, they lock them away.
Weavile leave marks on trees and rocks as a communication tool, with over 500 different symbols in their language.
The balloons that Popplio uses to jump around and battle with are made from their nose, composed primarily of the fluid in their body. Yes, the Rowlet is in a snot bubble.
Alolan Raichu's nickname is “The Land Surfer.” They float and surf above ground using their psychic powers, with Alolan pancakes being one of their favorite meals.
Scizor's wings serve two purposes: flying and regulating body heat during battle to prevent it from melting.
Joltik can't create electricity themselves, instead having to suck it from others… much like Dedenne and exactly how a parasitic tick would.
