Pyukumuku

Pyukumuku
The Sea Cucumber Pokémon
Type: Water
Official Registration #: 771
Entry: This hardy, sea cucumber pokémon lives in warm, shallow waters. It’s a stubborn pokémon, and it’s known for refusing to move once it finds a spot it likes, even if the food sources around it are depleted. Occasionally, it washes up on shores, where it remains there, basking in the sun and refusing to move even as its body begins to dehydrate. For this reason, out of pity, the native Alolans formed a cultural past-time out of hunting for pyukumuku on their sandy beaches and chucking them out to sea. Some islanders even make a game of it, wherein many Alolans gather to see who can chuck pyukumuku the furthest. This may mark the one and only time a human being can unceremoniously use a pokémon as a substitute sports ball and not be stabbed in the hand for their efforts.
