In battle, it whips its fiery tail around and slashes away with sharp claws. Breathing intense, hot flames, it can melt almost any- thing. Its breath inflicts terrible pain on enemies. The shell, which hardens soon after it is born, is resilient. If you poke it, it will bounce back out. It cleverly con- trols its furry ears and tail to maintain its balance while swimming. The rocket cannons on its shell fire jets of water capable of punch- ing holes through thick steel. Its feet have suction cups designed to stick to any surface. It tenaciously climbs trees to forage. It prepares for evolution by har- dening its shell as much as possi- ble to protect its soft body. Water-repellent powder on its wings enables it to collect honey, even in the heav- iest of rains. It attacks using a two-inch poison barb on its head. It can usually be found under the leaves it eats. From this form, it will grow into an adult.

The units at the sides of its body generate anti- gravity energy to keep it aloft in the air. The MAGNEMITE are united by a mag- netism so power- ful, it dries all moisture in its vicinities. If it eats the plant stick it carries as emer- gency rations, it runs off in search of a new stick. It races through grassy plains with powerful strides, leaving footprints up to four inches deep. If one of the heads gets to eat, the others will be satisfied, too, and they will stop squabbling. In daytime, it is often found asleep on the seabed in shallow waters. Its nostrils close while it swims. It loves frigid seas with ice floes. It uses its long tail to change swimming direction quickly. Wherever GRIMER has passed, so many germs are left behind that no plants will ever grow again. Its body is made of a powerful poi- son. Touching it accidentally will cause a fever that requires bed rest. Grains of sand trapped in its shells mix with its body fluids to form beautiful pearls.

The pincers break off easily. If it loses a pincer, it somehow becomes incapable of walk- ing sideways. Its pincers grow peculiarly large. If it lifts the pincers too fast, it loses its bal- ance and staggers. It was discovered when POKé BALLS were introduced. It is said that there is some connection. It stores an over- flowing amount of electric energy inside its body. Even a small shock makes it explode. Using telepathy only they can receive, they always form a cluster of six EXEGGCUTE. If a head drops off, it emits a telepathic call in search of others to form an EXEGGCUTE cluster. It always wears the skull of its dead mother, so no one has any idea what its hidden face looks like.

The star patterns on its back grow larger or smaller depending on the number of stars in the night sky. It spins a web using fine--but durable--thread. It then waits pa- tiently for prey to be trapped. A single strand of a special string is endlessly spun out of its rear. The string leads back to its nest. The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest. On the dark ocean floor, its only means of communi- cation is its constantly flash- ing lights.

However, its BITE is powerful. The small spikes covering its body developed from scales. They in- ject a toxin that causes fainting. Its wings are not used for flying. They are flapped at high speed to adjust its body temperature. It stores BERRIES inside its shell. To avoid attacks, it hides beneath rocks and remains completely still. Usually docile, but if disturbed while sipping honey, it chases off the intruder with its horn. Vicious in nature, it drives PIDGEY from their nests and feasts on the eggs that are left behind. Before food be- comes scarce in wintertime, its habit is to hoard food in many hid- den locations. With its ability to distinguish any aroma, it unfail- ingly finds all food buried deep underground. A common sight in volcanic areas, it slowly slithers around in a con- stant search for warm places. Its brittle shell occasionally spouts intense flames that cir- culate throughout its body.

If it gets sleepy, it steals the nest of a fel- low OCTILLERY. It nests at the edge of sharp cliffs. It spends all day carrying food to its await- ing chicks. Swimming freely in open seas, it may fly out of the water and over the waves if it builds up enough speed. After nesting in bramble bushes, the wings of its chicks grow hard from scratches by thorns. To corner prey, they check each other's location using barks that only they can understand. Upon hearing its eerie howls, other POKéMON get the shivers and head straight back to their nests. It sleeps deep on the ocean floor to build its energy. It is said to cause tornadoes as it wakes. As a sign of af- fection, it bumps with its snout. However, it is so strong, it may send you flying. The longer and bigger its tusks, the higher its rank in its herd. The tusks take long to grow. Further research enhanced its abil- ities. Sometimes, it may exhibit motions that were not programmed.
