What? Starters are evolving!
More mobile than Giflora, they develop very strong leg muscles that can rival a hitmonlee. Pyroar used to be their natural predators until the region’s died out due to overhunting, allowing these pokemon to thrive successfully. Gifauna are often seen in groups called canopies. The floral stocks on males are purely decorative to attract mates and indicate social standing amongst each other. Different flowers usually signify which tower they belong to. They are distantly related to Girafarig.
This pokemon evolves by melding metal to it. Once it does, their appetite turns insatiable and they actively seek out specific metals. Females tend to gravitate towards gold, copper and brass while males seek out silver, steel and tin. Entire gold mines have been stripped of their metals when female Searneo take root. While Coalossal despise Searneo for ‘vandalizing’ mines, they have a commensalistic relationship with Sizzlipede, with the bug pokemon hiding near their nests if in danger.
Duckysea loses some of its shell as they grow, the space no longer accommodating to their growing size. This pokemon starts sampling from everything, small fish pokemon, bugs, reeds, grain and anything else within range. Park goers are terrorized often during romantic picnics when Duckysea hisses in intimidation. The primary competition for resources is Lickingtung, both fighting for the title of biggest active eater. Sadly, it will flee from awakened Snorlax due to size.
