Pokemon with Weird Japanese Names (I).
Pokedex Number: 149.
Type: Dragon/Flying.
Evolution line: Dratini
Evolves from: Dragonair
Dragonite,カイリュー [Kairyū], is the last in the Dratini evolution line. Unlike its precursors, which are only Dragon type, it has the ability of flying, gained upon evolution at level 55. Also, it is now bipedal, and has a beige underbelly. Within the 1st Generation, it is the fastest flying type; this is very unlike its size, which is far from streamlined; however, it is rumored to be able to circle the world in 16 hours.
Pokedex Number: 155.
Type: Fire
Evolution line: Cyndaquil
Evolves into: Quilava
Cyndaquil, ヒノアラシ [Hinoarashi], is the Fire-type starter in the 2nd Generation; however, it is possible to obtain it after completion of the Hoenn Dex. On its back are four spots of red fur; when provoked, it uses internal energy to produce spines of fire from these spots. Although quadruped, it is capable of traveling on two feet. Normally timid, it releases fire when approached; if the opponent is not deterred, it can release more flames, creating a smokescreen.
Pokedex Number: 156.
Type: Fire
Evolution line: Cyndaquil
Evolves into: Typhlosion
Quilava, マグマラシ [Magumarashi] is the 2nd in the Cyndaquil evolution line. Shaped like long creatures with small forepaws and slightly longer hindpaws, they look similar to weasels. In battle, it turns its back toward its opponents as a sign that it is about to use its flame-based abilities in battle, or to intimidate foes by demonstrating its power. Noted for its speed, Quilava can nimbly evade attacks while scorching their enemies. They can also create gusts of superheated air.
Pokedex Number: 157.
Type: Fire
Evolution line: Cyndaquil
Evolves from: Quilava
Typhlosion, バクフーン [Bakufūn], is the final Pokemon in the Cyndaquil evolution line. Unlike its predecessors, Typhlosion resembles a wolverine; even though its smoke vents drop lower because of this, it still can release a tremendous amount of heat. When its fur is rubbed, Typhlosion is capable of causing gigantic explosions, which is a sign of its aggressiveness. Although it has smaller pupils, resulting in poorer eyesight, it still has a keen sense of smell and hearing, making up for the weakness.
Pokedex Number: 158
Type: Water
Evolution line: Totodile
Evolves into: Croconaw
Totodile, ワニノコ [Waninoko], is the Water-type starter in the 2nd Generation; resembling a small crocodile, it has four red spikes on its back and tail; its jaw and sharp teeth are strong enough to cut down a tree. Energetic, cheerful and rowdy, it often roams swamps, biting any moving object.
Pokedex Number: 159
Type: Water
Evolution line: Totodile
Evolves into: Feraligatr
Croconaw, アリゲイツ [Arigeitsu], is the 2nd in the Totodile evolution line. Maintaining an open mouth while attacking, it always grows its teeth back after attacking, maintaining its 48 fangs. The tips of these 48 fangs are curved inwards; once sunk in, they are impossible to remove.
Pokedex Number: 160
Type: Water
Evolution line: Totodile
Evolves from: Croconaw
Feraligatr, オーダイル [Ōdairu], is the last Pokemon in the Totodile evolution line. Resembling oversized crocodiles, it prefers to roam waterfalls unlike its predecessors. Growing sharp claws at the end of its feet, it uses them to grip before kicking its legs back and charging at the opponent. Preferring only fish-type Pokemon, it eats Magikarp and other fish for food; however, it also consumes large prey like Stantler and Tauros when they come too close.
