Extremely rare in the wild (or at least meant to be; shaking grass isn't too hard to make appear), Normal-type Audino are natural-born medics with the ability to use their stethoscope-ears to hear the heartbeats of others and assess their health. This extreme hearing ability is also used to detect its surroundings. They seem to be thought of fondly by Unova's locals, and trainers commonly seek them out, but [[PinataEnemy not to catch]]... For ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'', it receives a Mega Evolution where it becomes a Normal/Fairy type.

** Liepard are noted as being moody and vicious, and are aggressive in ''Sword and Shield''s overworld.

* SecondarySexualCharacteristics: Male Basculegion have {{red|Hot Masculinity]] accents, a fiercer expression, longer barbels, growths on its chin resembling a stubble, and have higher Attack stat. Female Basculegion instead have [[TrueBlueFemininity pale blue]] accents, a melancholic expression, shorter barbels, additional accents around its face resembling makeup, and specialize in the Special Attack stat.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Woobat is based on a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honduran_white_bats real life example of this]].

* UsefulNotes/BellyDancing: Part of Unovan Lilligant's design, due to their uncovered midsection and lower body resembling puffy genie pants and curved shoes.

* UselessUsefulSpell: Lilligant can be taught Swords Dance, which holds no purpose for a special attacker like Lilligant, as it only boosts the user's physical attack stat. Averted in ''Legends: Arceus'', where it raises both physical and special attack stats, so it benefits Hisuian Lilligant (read: a physical attacker) as well.

* SuperMode: Gains the ability to Gigantamax in ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'', which condenses its toxic gases so much, [[FridgeLogic they become the shape of discarded toys]] and also gives it access to the move G-Max Malodor.

* BellyDancing: Part of Unovan Lilligant's design, due to their uncovered midsection and lower body resembling puffy genie pants and curved shoes.

** In ''[[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Black and White]]'', they're both catchable at the outskirts of Pinwheel Forest, which is accessible even before you beat the second gym. Said gym type is Normal and the leader is considered ThatOneBoss... but probably not with a Sawk or Throh in your party.

* BadassAdorable: Tympole with its cute CatSmile-like mouth and big black PuppyDogEyes.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Oshawott, even according to WordOfGod.

%%* CatSmile: They sport one.

* RecurringElement: The Fossil Duo along with the Tirtouga line. Specifically, both of them seem to be throwbacks to the fossil Pokémon of Gen I. For Archen's case, it's a winged predator with a combination of Flying and Rock, just like Aerodactyl.

* TheBusCameBack: Three of the twelve Pokémon who spent five years on the bus after ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'' before coming back in "The Indigo Disk".
