You Could Use some Imagination
There was that one guy in Alola who wanted to start Pokemon Jurassic Park.
"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."
I wrote an article about Pokemon Zoos, it's under the other section
No voice to cry suffering
Hello! ^_^
I was wondering if I could call dibs on the Clauncher line article?
No mind to think. No will to break.
I return to call dibs on the Bounsweet line, because I am suddenly motivated.
Did you ever consider fiction might be fact?
Bounsweet Line
Morphs [Oak Catalog #]
- Bounsweet [#761]
- Steenee [#762]
- Tsareena [#763]
Physical Descriptions
The Bounsweet is a foot-tall mobile spheroid fruit with a purplish pink rubbery shell that opens three quarters of the way down to expose the soft rumpled white flesh of the inner creature. It ambles about on two tiny stubs made of the same substance of its shell, with a quartet of hard pale leaves and a single stem atop its head. Yellow film forms a pair of beady yellow eyes for the creature to look out into the world, and the front of the rubber shell is often opened into a wide, grinning mouth.
Upon evolving into a Steenee, the pokemon more than doubles in height and gains a more humanoid form. The rubber shell has compressed into a dress-like structure, dividing the lower flesh into six segments which as a skirt for the now longer legs. The top point of the shell has ruptured and a pinkish inner surface extends to collar the now exposed head, with a pair of supple white arms now reaching out of this new growth. The head is round white flesh, with a pair of large-white set magenta eyes each sporting a triangular purple eyelash and set above a broadly smiling mouth. The left and right leaves atop the head lengthen to a point where they can frame the hips, with a small freckling of yellowish green adorning their top.
A Steenee will only evolve into a Tsareena if they learn the move Stomp. This new stage is almost twice as tall again as the Steenee, and almost all the new height is focused in the now powerful long legs wrapped in the thick rubbery shell that flares around the thighs. The upper shell's outer portion is almost completely gone, save for a thin layer wrapping the arms. However, the pinkish inner portion has not only remained but grown further, reshaping the skirt flesh and growing to cover the lower half of the head. The magenta eyes now sport long lashes and pinkish eyeshadow, while the leaves atop the head have grown even further. The foremost leaf sweeps to the side in a curve, while the other three dangle almost to the ground and are covered in yellow spot patterns. The stem has developed into a bud-like crown, the same shade as its former shell; it is divided into quarters with small gaps exposing the yellow inner surface.
A rare mutation can cause the cloroplasts of the Bounsweet line to grow in the flesh instead of the leaves; this leaves the flesh green and the leaves a purplish gray, and is somewhat sought after by collectors.
Notable Biology
The Bounsweet line is notable for the incredibly aromatic sap that leaks from their fruity flesh; the sugar itself makes the Bounsweet line very energetic. In some members of this line an extreme amount of sun will set the biological manufacture of this substance into overdrive, allowing the pokemon to shrug off most long-term combat effects. Conversely, other members of this line have the sap running thickly in their veins, to the point where they cannot discern their ordinary level of excitement from infatuation and therefore tend to be oblivious to pokemon attempting to attract them. Members of the second group, once evolved to Tsareena, prove to be so energetic that their reflexes allow them to counter moves that might otherwise surprise them in combat. A rare few members of the Bounsweet line have learned to extend the power of their sap through their aroma, preventing themselves or those around them from falling asleep when they don't want to.
There are a few other notable features to the Bounsweet line; their rubbery shell and leaves not only provide protection from predators attracted by their sweet aroma, but also serve as a primary skeleton for their bodies. This makes the entire line very squishy in certain regions, such as the head and hip area. The line is also universally female, a trait shared by very few pokemon species; some scholars suspect that the Bounsweet line might have originated as a regional mutation of the very similar Petilil line, though this speculation has yet to be confirmed.
Habitat
The Bounsweet line is native to the Lush Jungle on northwest Akala Island, and has yet to be introduced to any other environment. Young Bounsweet actually serve as a foundation of the food web in the area, though Steenee and Tsareena are less likely to be consumed.
Diet
Aside from photosynthesis, the Bounsweet line generally eats fruits, berries, and small leaves. Bounsweet itself usually gathers these from wherever they fall, where Steenee actively harvest them from the trees and Tsareena will take the best harvest from their group (see below).
Behavior and Social Structure
The Bounsweet line is, in a word, energetic. They will run about the entirety of their small domain almost entirely carefree, with even the more focused Tsareena indulging in amusement on a regular basis. How that energy is expressed changes with each stage, however; the Bounsweet will just move about freely, skipping if they feel the need to move faster, and generally just bounce through life. Steenee are fond of games and will often be found playing tag, hide and seek, or other group activities that require a lot of motion. A Tsareena tends to express her energy through a commanding presence, leading the way through various activities.
Bounsweets are not given any particular care by their elders, left to rove the jungle and fend for themselves. They may be fed by some Steenee who think they're cute or otherwise are playing a game, and can join in games with them on occasion, but there is no sense of attachment in these interactions—it is quite simply 'having fun together' and, at the end of the day, the Steenee have no qualms saying farewell and abandoning the small fruit to its fate. Small groups of Bounsweet might form or dissipate during their foraging, but for the most part the young are on their own.
Half of all Bounsweets won't survive long enough to evolve. Those that do become Steenee, however, quickly find a need to socialize. Newly evolved Steenee will seek out others of their kind, either joining a preexisting troupe or forming one out of other wanderers. These will usually number eight to twelve individuals, but they can combine with each other and break apart at random intervals. A troupe works together to find food, shelter, and anything else that catches their fancy; they will also play games with each other and can occasionally involve other pokemon in their structure.
A Steenee who becomes a Tsareena is usually automatically promoted to leader of their troupe, though there is sometimes some argument over this if the Tsareena is not the oldest or most popular member of the group. Tsareena will usually seek to claim a specific section of the jungle for their troupe, challenging any who would defy her and demanding obedience from her sisters. However, she will also be willing to listen to their own wants and pursue those goals with equal fervor, so long as they do not conflict with her own. A troupe can have more than one Tsareena, but rarely has more than three; if there are too many arguments over how to run things, one Tsareena will leave with whichever Steenee are more loyal to her.
Courting and Childrearing
While all members of the Bounsweet line are technically capable of reproducing, it is usually the Steenee and the Tsareena that produce eggs. During the spring, a troupe will try to find and catch male members of the grass egg group, playing a number of games which will at some point include gathering pollen from the creature, and then letting them free. Those troupes with Tsareena usually negotiate for this exchange, and will place all their eggs in a safe spot (alongside any eggs they might encounter in their territory); unassociated troupes will just find whoever they like and leave their eggs anywhere.
Hazards
While the Bounsweet itself is not very dangerous, the hard legs and leaves of its evolutions can inflict a surprising degree of hurt if so desired. And with their energetic natures, it isn't that hard for a Steenee to decide the best way to get what they want is to kick somebody until they get it, or for a Tsareena to express her displeasure with a round-house sweep. Trainers wishing to keep these pokemon must teach them not to assault people without provocation, and give them an alternative method to vent their frustration. A Tsareena especially will become argumentative if they believe their ideas on how to best handle things are being ignored.
The bulb-crown on a Tsareena's head is especially sensitive and they will be rendered temporarily docile by a firm pat; however, this will not be taken kindly in most circumstances, which will result in the Tsareena becoming very aggressive to the individual who induced the state upon recovering. A Tsareena who allows somebody to touch her crown is committing a remarkable gesture of trust; a Tsareena who demands somebody touch her crown is most likely loyal to that person beyond a shadow of a doubt.
In Human Society
A Bounsweet's sap is used in a number of ways by modern society, being the base for air fresheners that can have a calming effect or being watered down to make a sweet juice. While the later stages of evolution can also be used for these, the energetic Steenee and commanding Tsareena tend not to hold still long enough to harvest the sap. The Steenee tends to hold a reputation of 'girl power,' being usually portrayed in fiction as liking feminine things but also being willing to get physical when the situation demands it.
The Tsareena has an interesting reputation that can be summed up in a single word: "Queen." Whether as a local ruler of the Lush Jungle, a mascot of a high class beauty salon, or a domineering presence in adult-rated stories, the Tsareena always commands a certain respect in fictional portrayals.

You Could Use some Imagination
It's been 3000 years... and I've finally finished that damn Xurkitree entry. Sorry it took so long. I got distracted.
Xurkitree (dubbed UB-03 Lightning by the Aether Foundation Science Team)
Morphs [Oak Catalog #]
- Xurkitree [796]
Physical Description(s)
As with all other Ultra Beasts Xurkitree was thought to be an urban legend prior to the Aether Incident.
Of the Ultra Beasts we are aware of, Xurkitree is quite possibly one of the strangest ones in appearance. According to the (admittedly rather choppy 1 ) footage released following the Aether Incident, Xurkitree seems to be comprised of a strange assortment of wires and cables twisted into a vaguely humanoid shape. All of the cables connect at the spiky, white, featureless head which appears to be the only organic part of the creature. The Pokèmon has a "tail" that ends in something resembling a plug. Said tail has been observed to work as a sort of third leg that allows the Pokèmon to stabilize itself.
The "wires" that make up Xurkitree's body appear to be held tightly together by objects that look like "twisty ties" 2 . Near the end of the Pokèmon's arms(?) the "wires" appear to have been stripped of the "rubber" that encased them up until that point, thus forming hands. The feet, meanwhile, have claw like golden protrusions that we can only assume to be exactly what they look like.
There have been inconsistent reports on the size of the creature, while almost all Xurkitree sightings have reported the creatures being about the size of an adult human, the documents released after the Aether Incident state that it can grow to, and maybe exceed, the height of Prism Tower in Lumiose City.
There are rumors that a blue colored version of this Pokèmon exist as well.
Notable Biology
The biology of Xurkitree is very confusing. Unlike most Pokèmon resembling household objects, Xurkitree seems to be completely natural in origin 3 . It is speculated that the Pokèmon "feeds" on electricity via it's "head" and that it's wires serve a secondary purpose to ground it while it "feeds."
According to Wicke ****, the Pokèmon possesses an organ that can discharge massive amounts of electricity at once. Given that the rest of the Pokemon is seemingly inorganic, the only logical place this organ could be is it's "head."
Due to its alien biology, Xurkitree is considered genderless.
Habitat
Xurkitree lives in an alternate dimension dubbed "Ultra Space" by the Aether Foundation science team. The specific area within Ultra Space that Xurkitree lives in has been dubbed "Ultra Plant" 4 . It is unknown if life forms other than Xurkitree and the other native Pokémon 5 live in Ultra Space.
Ultra Plant is a rocky, almost depressingly dark plane with occasional large rock outcroppings. The sky is constantly filled with thunderclouds, though it seems that it never rains. Instead the thunder clouds generate a large number of lightning strikes that the Xurkitree "feed" on.
Most technology, excluding Pokèballs, will short out upon entering Ultra Space. As such, if you enter Ultra Space you will be unable to call for help if you get lost or are otherwise unable to get back to Normal Space.
While there have only been two Xurkitree spotted in Normal Space, there are reportedly many in Ultra Space, almost to the same level as Rattata and Zubat in Normal Space.
There seems to be no relation between Ultra Space and the Distortion World, where Giratina lives.
Diet
Xurkitree has not been observed to eat anything but has been speculated to “feed” on electricity.
Hazards
As with all Ultra Beasts, Xurkitree is very dangerous. Approaching it without heavy protection is not advised. The Pokèmon is capable of generating large amounts of electricity 6 and could very easily kill a human. The Pokèmon's wires can be used like tentacles to constrict and choke a creature to death. Getting hit by them isn’t very pleasant either. If one absolutely must approach the creature, it would be prudent to bring Pokèmon with an advantage against Electric-Types.
Courting and Childrearing
It is completely unknown how Xurkitree reproduce, if they reproduce at all.
Social Structure
Xurkitree appear to be solitary creatures that have never been observed interacting with each other.
In Human Culture
While the Pokèmon was still considered a myth, it inspired an author to write a book about a special Pokèmon powered machine that keeps an old man from dying until one day when it broke down.

On a different note, would it be okay if I did a revision for the Pidgey line. No offense to the original author but the current one basically just lists things that birds do.
"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."
The Wanderer
Fine by me.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
You Could Use some Imagination
And... I did it. The Pidgey revision. I don't know if I used the right form if its/it's so please help me out there.
Pidgey Line
Morphs [Oak Catalog #]
- Pidgey [016]
- Pidgeotto [017]
- Pidgeot [018]
Physical Descriptions
Pidgey is a small, plump avian Pokèmon. It is primarily brown in color; however, its face, underside, and the tip of its wings are cream colored. The underside of its wings are also cream colored. Its beak and feet are a pinkish color. It has a small crest consisting of one large brown colored feather flanked by two cream colored feathers on either side of it’s head. It has black marks around its eyes 1 .
Pidgeotto largely retains the color scheme of its pre-evolution however there are several notable differences. The first and most noticeable is that its crest is entirely red in color and is now much larger. The crest also resembles hair depending on what angle you see it at. The second difference is less noticeable but still rather significant. Its tail feathers are also larger and now contain three red feathers and two cream colored feathers.
Pidgeot once again retains the same color scheme as its pre-evolutions. Also like its two pre-evolutions the only notable changes are to its crest and tail feathers. Its crest is now mostly yellow with red feathers to the sides of its head. Additionally its tail feathers are now entirely red.
In addition to all this, each evolution is larger than the last. Rare gold colored variants of all three Pokèmon exist and are highly valued by collectors.
Notable Biology
The biology of the Pidgey line is in no way overly remarkable. While Pidgey are rather average in all areas, both Pidgeotto and Pidgeot are incredibly fast, with Pidgeot being able to reach Mach-2 speed. Additionally, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot have excellent eyesight and can spot prey from miles away.
While the claws of Pidgeotto and Pidgeot can be used for fighting, their main use is to grip prey and keep them from escaping. Pidgeotto and Pidgeot are generally very strong, able to carry prey long distances.
Habitat
The Pidgey line mainly lives in forest areas. While they can be found in plains areas they are not fond of them due to there being less places to roost and less bug type Pokèmon. The Pidgey and Fearow lines will rarely be found in the same part of a forest and prefer to stay separate from each other.
Diet
Early on in their life, the main diet of a Pidgey is insectoid Pokèmon, such as Caterpie, and berries. Once it evolves it moves on to bigger prey such as Magikarp 2 and Exeggcute.
Hazards
An individual Pidgey poses little threat to anyone with common sense. However, Pidgeys tend to travel in flocks and if you hurt or anger one Pidgey you risk drawing the ire of the entire flock, often including the much more dangerous Pidgeotto and Pidgeot.
With the flap of their wings Pidgeotto and Pidgeot (especially Pidgeot) are capable of producing high speed winds that are capable of breaking several of an unprotected trainer’s bones. Especially powerful Pidgeot are capable of producing gale force winds, devastating parts of forests when angered.
If the winds do not harm you the claws and beaks of the Pokèmon most definitely will. They are capable of ripping unprotected trainers and prey to shreds with their claws.
While not as quick to anger as the Spearow line, there are several things that should be avoided around members of the Pidgey line, either angering or scaring them. These include loud noises, throwing rocks, and approaching them in a way they might perceive as antagonistic (ie slowly and loudly).
Courting and Childrearing
When attempting to attract a mate, male Pidgeotto and Pidgeot 3 engage in flamboyant displays, generally involving aerial performances and the showing off of their plumage and head crest. These displays can often cue in a female Pidgeotto or Pidgeot to strength, health, intelligence, and mating desirability of the Pokèmon performing the display. Ironically, the rare, coveted version of this Pokèmon with a gold coloration is less likely to get a mate, due to looking different from the usual preference. This is why they are so rare, as the gene that creates the rare coloration is not as common in the gene pool.
Social Structure
Most members of the Pidgey line live in flocks of 10-17. There is only ever one Pidgeot per flock and that Pidgeot is always the leader. If a Pidgeotto evolves into a Pidgeot it will either attack the flock leader for control of the flock or will leave to start its own flock. If it fights the flock leader and wins, the leader will leave the flock in disgrace. Interestingly, while the current flock leader will oftentimes kill the challenger, the challenger will never kill the flock leader. It has been proposed that this is out of respect for the former flock leader however it could also be a form of punishment instead of dying they have to live with their failure.

"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."
Its is possessive, and it's is short for "it is".
"brown in color however it’s face" should be "brown in color; however, its face"
(Also, a minor detail, but the plural form of the names of Pokémon is exactly the same as the singular)
On another subject, I plan on creating an overview article for the Ultra Beasts akin to the Shadow Pokémon one. If anybody has any objections, let me know.

I have no objections.
I also did all the tweaks I needed to do.

I have added my revision to the main page (put down as revision under the original so people can read both) since I figure it's more or less finished, I took care of all the grammatical errors and the bird facts are more or less accurate (if altered/simplified).
"Hope for our world, tragedy for another."

So, tell me if this is a bad idea. The four Tapus are pretty similar in role and actions so I think kt would make sense to merge them into one article whenever we get around to them, to save time and effort writing four very similar entries.

I would agree that it would probably make a lot more sense to combine them into one article.
