Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 238th lesson on Pokémon biology. And in this lesson, we will be discussing Smoochum: the Kiss Pokémon and pre-evolved form of Jynx. Smoochum is categorized as such because its lips are very sensitive, and it uses them to examine objects. As unsanitary as that might sound, Smoochum actually hates being dirty and will regularly check its reflection to make sure its face is clean. And to keep ...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 237th lesson on Pokémon biology. For today’s class, we will be discussing Hitmontop: the Handstand Pokémon and one of the evolved forms of Tyrogue. Hitmontop is excellent at fighting using dance-like kicks, which implement both offensive and defensive tactics. But be careful: Hitmontop can spin on its head so rapidly that it can bore holes into the ground. And that can cause problems for yo...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 236th lesson on Pokémon biology. In today’s lesson, we will be discussing Tyrogue: the Scuffle Pokémon. This scrappy, little fighting type has no fear and will challenge anyone. Despite how small Tyrogue is, it has been known to punch any target without warning. I love that - it’s always keeping you on your toes! Tyrogue also never takes a rest day. It has been known to train daily and will...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 235th lesson on Pokémon biology. For today’s class, we will be discussing Smeargle: the Painter Pokémon. This derpy normal type is known for its long tail with a tip resembling a paintbrush. Smeargle oozes (or gushes, whichever you prefer) a special fluid from its tail tip, which it uses to mark its territory. This paint-like fluid is predetermined for each Smeargle, and over 5,000 differen...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 234th lesson on Pokémon biology. And for today’s lesson, we will be discussing Stantler: the Big Horn Pokémon. This normal type is known for its gorgeous but strange antlers, which many consider to be valuable works of art. The orbs on these antlers release a pleasing aroma, which can cause a bewildering effect on anyone smelling it. Additionally, Stantler’s antlers can manipulate the surro...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 233rd lesson on Pokémon biology. Today’s lesson is about Porygon2: the Virtual Pokémon and evolved form of Porygon (as if the name didn’t give that away). Porygon’s blocky, pixelated body has transformed into a smooth, sleek build. Porygon2 is engineered with state of the art technology, including AI, to aid in space exploration. However, this upgraded Pokémon has resulted in a few setbacks...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 232nd lesson on Pokémon biology. And for this lesson today, we will be learning all about Donphan: the Armor Pokémon and evolved form of Phanpy. Donphan is a hardy Pokémon with a tough, tire-like hide that loves to roll around and slam into stuff. Donphan has enough rolling power to blow apart an entire house! Wow. Talk about bringing down the house, am I right? Hold for laughter. Anyway, t...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 231st lesson on Pokémon biology. For this lesson, we will be discussing Phanpy: the Long Nose Pokémon. Although it is arguably the cutest Johto Pokémon, Phanpy’s little trunk is actually quite strong. It’s able to send a person flying through the air with a simple bump of the snout. So maybe chain yourself to the ground during playtime with your Phanpy. It also loves to make nests by the ri...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 230th lesson on Pokémon biology. And in today’s lesson, we will be discussing Kingdra: the Dragon Pokémon and final evolution of Horsea. This dragon & water Pokémon is stronger than you might think. Kingdra’s yawns are powerful enough to create whirlpools, capable of destroying small ships and other vessels. It’s also been reported that Kingdra can cause tornadoes when it wakes from sle...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 229th lesson on Pokémon biology. For this lesson, we will be discussing Houndoom: the Dark Pokémon and evolved form of Houndour. Like its predecessor, this menacing Pokémon lives in packs. The Houndoom with horns raked sharply towards its back serves as the leader of the pack. Houndoom’s howls are quite frightening, with many believing them to be the call of the grim reaper. Wait, does the ...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 228th lesson on Pokémon biology. And today’s lesson is all about Houndour: the Dark Pokémon. Houndour hunts in packs with top tier teamwork, utilizing various barks and howls only understandable by others of its kind. At dawn (settle down, Corbin), Houndour will ominously howl to announce its territory for all to hear. And you better respect that territory… or it’s the pack’s fury you’ll ha...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 227th lesson on Pokémon biology. For today’s lesson, we will be discussing Skarmory: the Armor Bird Pokémon. Skarmory is known for its beautiful steel wings, which become tattered and bashed in from battling. However, once a year the damaged wings will grow back completely, restoring those sharp edges it once had before. Skarmory’s wings are so sharp that they have been used to create blade...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 226th lesson on Pokémon biology. And this lesson is all about Mantine: the Kite Pokémon. This water and flying type loves the open seas, where it swims freely with its good buddy Remoraid. Remoraid attaches itself to the underside of Mantine’s fin, where it scavenges its leftovers and fights together if attacked. Mantine is sometimes misidentified as a bird Pokémon as it frequently breaches...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 225th lesson on Pokémon biology. Today’s class is all about Delibird: the Delivery Pokémon. Do you know what Delibird delivers? Good vibes, baby… and food! Delibird collects food in its tail to later share with its chicks and even other Pokémon & humans. It typically offers bug Pokémon to hungry humans, which sounds gross, but they do offer a good source of protein. If attacked, Delibir...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 224th lesson on Pokémon biology. And for this class, we will be discussing Octillery: the Jet Pokémon and evolved form of Remoraid. This water type loves hiding out in rocky holes or pots. If threatened, Octillery will emerge and squirt ink from its mouth to escape. This ink will obscure its enemy’s vision and dull their sense of smell, making it harder to track the fleeing Octillery. Talk ...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 223rd lesson on Pokémon biology. In today’s lesson, we will be discussing Remoraid: the Jet Pokémon. This cute little water type is known for shooting jets of water out of its mouth - a real spitter! With its toned and mighty abs, Remoraid can shoot Pokémon out of the air from over 300 feet away. This pinpoint precision has granted Remoraid the title of “Sniper of the Seas”. Talk about a fl...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 222nd lesson on Pokémon biology. For today’s lesson, we will be discussing Corsola: the Coral Pokémon. Corsola are typically found in warmer, shallow waters in southern regions. But above all, Corsola needs clean water to live. If the water is too filthy, the branches on its back will become discolored and eventually crumble away. But fear not! If you nurse your Corsola back to health in th...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 221st lesson on Pokémon biology. And today’s lesson is all about Piloswine: the Swine Pokémon and evolved form of Swinub. This ice and ground type is covered in a thick fur coat, allowing it to survive in frigid temperatures. In fact, Piloswine’s fur is so long that it covers its eyes and hooved feet. Do you ever think Piloswine trips over its own fur and face plants? If you see that happen...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 220th lesson on Pokémon biology. Today’s lesson is on Swinub: the Pig Pokémon. Swinub is an adorable little fluff ball that burrows through ice and mud with its pink baby nose, sniffing for food. Swinub have been known to occasionally discover hot springs beneath the ground. Imagine you’re scouring for food and you find a hot tub - talk about a nice surprise! Can you guess what Swinub’s fav...
Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s 219th lesson on Pokémon biology. Today’s lesson is all about Magcargo: the Lava Pokémon and evolved form of Slugma. This fire and rock type is the definition of hot. Magcargo’s internal temperature can reach over 18,000 °F. At that temperature, water will literally evaporate on contact with Magcargo’s body. So for trainers interested in raising a Magcargo, please be very cautious about when...
