anything you can tell me about the trapinch line? :3
trapinch is very top heavy and if it tips over it struggles to get back on its feet. please flip trapinch if you see them fallen on their back (get behind it, put your hand/s on the back of its head so it can't bite you, and tip it forwards until it's upright. you can also put a hand on its shell once you've tipped it up enough so it's weight isn't just on its head). if you approach it from the front it can bite you. they have a very strong bite force and have bad eyesight, so if they sense/see something they'll bite and won't let go, since that's how they catch their prey. if you lift it off the ground it will usually let go (make sure when it falls its not stuck on its back)
vibrava's wings vibrate together to create ultrasonic (sounds above human hearing) waves that cause headaches or migraines. they do this to deter predators and make prey easier to catch, so if they aren't threatened they won't do this. give vibrava space and move slowly to avoid a bad headache. their wings aren't strong enough to fly very well, so they still crawl on the ground most of the time.
flygon's wings make a sound humans can hear. it's called a song, since people used to mistake flygon for singing while it flies. every flygons' wings make different sounds depending on their shape, size, weight, speed of wingbeats, etc.
flygon's eyecaps protect it from the sand its wings whip up in its natural habitat, and it has better vision than trapinch, but now (unlike vibrava, who has the best vision of the line) it sees everything tinted red. the eyecaps can also get scratched and sanded down over time. old flygon have very blurry vision because of this.
flygon tend to be aggressive and paired with their speed they can be very dangerous. they get into fights with other pokemon, even other flygon (they're a solitary species). the entire line has very good focus, they will not give up prey easily, so it's very important to not aggravate flygon, especially if you don't have pokemon to protect you.
the entire line need a hot, dry climate to thrive. they do very badly in the cold and dislike humidity, but occasional splashes in water is nice as long as they can dry off quickly in the sun. at night, all of the line bury themselves in the sand for insulation and warmth.
