Hello Bill! I went through the entire database you have posted here (I love your work by the way!) and I have come across the realization that you do not have an entry for the fabled Pokemon Kyurem. I have heard it can easily generate freezing cold temperatures and is said to be vicious, so if you go to investigate, be careful! Be sure to post your findings as well.

Thank you!

It’s very true that I have yet to cover many of the Unovan legendaries, and I do agree that the legend of Kyurem is especially fascinating. However, I must say that it would hardly do the legend justice to cover only Kyurem and not the other two dragons associated with the story, so without further ado, the dragons of Unova:

Reshiram
The Vast White Pokémon
Type: Dragon/Fire
Official Registration #: 643
Entry: According to Unovan folklore, Reshiram flew across the region on feathery, white wings and wielded powerful flames to fight in the name of truth. According to Unovan memes, however, the most interesting aspects of Reshiram are its species name and the pointed organ between its hind legs, and because of this unfortunately placed interest, this blog’s staff finds it necessary to clarify that the name “Vast White” refers to Reshiram’s height, the organ between its hind legs is a set of feathers that assists in navigation, and the author is immensely disappointed in anyone who assumes otherwise for any of this.

Zekrom
The Deep Black Pokémon
Type: Dragon/Electric
Official Registration #: 644
Entry: According to Unovan folklore, Zekrom flew across the region on leathery, black wings and wielded powerful bolts of electricity to fight in the name of ideals. More specifically, Zekrom sided with anyone who sought an ideal world by hiding in anvil clouds and striking the earth or its trainer’s opponents with lightning. Because nothing says “Unovan” quite like establishing your concept of an ideal world via liberal application of excessive force, preferably from above.

Kyurem
The Boundary Pokémon
Type: Dragon/Ice
Official Registration #: 646
Entry: According to Unovan folklore, Kyurem fell to Earth thousands of years ago, and in the process, the energy contained within its body split in two and evacuated to form Reshiram and Zekrom. In the absence of both its thirst for truth and passion for ideals, Kyurem became an icy shell: empty within, save for the power to exude supercold air capable of freezing anything within a mile radius of itself. In other words, Kyurem is a hollow being, devoid of all its hopes and dreams but in possession of an icy heart—which, in other words, means that this pokémon is a rather accurate depiction of adulthood.

Electrike and Manectric

Electrike
The Lightning Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 309
Entry: This small, puppy-like pokémon stores static electricity in its fur, which it uses both as added defense and as a means to stimulate its leg muscles. Once its legs are charged, electrike is capable of reaching speeds faster than the human eye … making games of fetch between tamed specimens and humans particularly quick. Be warned, however—upon each successful fetch, electrike enjoys praise and belly rubs, the latter of which has led to an unfortunate number of electrocution incidents in electrike’s native region of Hoenn.

Manectric
The Discharge Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 310
Entry: The evolved form of electrike, by battle experience. In the wild, this dog-like pokémon is rare and frequently avoids humans, but it is not necessarily difficult to find. This is because its pointed main attracts lightning, which it collects in its fur and discharges constantly into the atmosphere around it. Unfortunately for manectric, such discharges lead to equally unfortunate consequences to both human and general surrounding alike, and more than one forest fire and electrocution have been attributed to this pokémon.

The Blitzle Line

Blitzle
The Electrified Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 522
Entry: A zebra-like pokémon native to the grasslands of Unova. Shockingly for a newborn pokémon, blitzle have full mastery of their elemental discharges and can use its habit of glowing when charging its electrifyingly bright mane and stripes with electricity to communicate with other members of the blitzle line soon after birth. What do they talk about? Current events, naturally. In fact, the life of a blitzle is quite exciting. They’re hardly ever static. One could even say they’re [THE REST OF THIS POST HAS BEEN CENSORED FOR INCREASINGLY HORRIFIC PUNS. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.]

Zebstrika
The Thunderbolt Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 523
Entry: The evolved form of blitzle, by battle experience. Research has been conducted into whether or not zebstrika and rapidash are close relatives, as both are equine pokémon of similar height, both belong to the same egg group, and both have a tendency to unleash their respective elements onto riders they don’t particularly care for.

The Shinx Line

Shinx
The Flash Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 403
Entry: A small, lion cub-like pokémon of the electric type. Shinx is referred to as the “flash pokémon” because of its the ability to disperse electricity into its fur using the extension and contraction of its muscular system; the tenser its body, the more electricity is pumped into its fur, which means the more its fur sparks and glows. However, it is important for trainers to note that this behavior is not exclusive to fear. Rather, shinx as a whole will do this whenever excited, including when they wish to play with their trainers. Which is to say, if considering training a newly hatched shinx, please be aware that you will be blinded. A lot.

Luxio
The Spark Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 404
Entry: The evolved form of shinx, by battle experience. As a member of the shinx line grows, it gains finer control over its electrical abilities. In its luxio form, it learns to channel electricity into its claws, rather than throughout its fur, and it uses this to deliver powerful electrical shocks to its opponents. Even the lightest scratch from a luxio is potent enough to render even the bulkiest pokémon unconscious. On that note, trainers who are considering raising a member of the shinx line should beware of luxio as well. Luxio, after all, have a habit of kneading their trainers’ laps to show affection, which is a behavior that has occasionally had very unfortunate consequences for more than a few humans.

Luxray
The Gleam Eyes Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 405
Entry: The evolved form of luxio, by battle experience. Luxray are gifted with the ability to see through walls. When its eyes light up and it stares intently at a wall, rest assured that this is normal for luxray and that it has simply spotted potential prey. On the positive side, this is the only strange thing about luxray, as it no longer channels electricity into its fur or claws when excited. On the negative side, if a luxray stares intently at your wall, you most likely have an infestation of rattata or pikachu. That and also, your luxray is very likely to Thunderbolt your wall and anything that happens to be in front of said wall (including, for example, you) without notice.

Stunfisk

Stunfisk
The Trap Pokémon
Type: Ground/Electric
Official Registration #: 618
Entry: A sizable flounder-like pokémon known to hide in the muddy expanses of marshlands and heaths. Blending in with the ground, stunfisk is virtually undetectable until it’s stepped on, at which point it delivers a strong electric shock directly into its victim. Why it does this is still a mystery to behaviorists, particularly given the fact that a stunfisk’s body has been found to be durable enough to withstand hundreds of pounds of pressure. The only real clue scientists have for the answer to this mystery lies in the fact that stunfisk smiles with extreme pleasure as it delivers electric shocks … a fact that has dampened quite a few scientists’ curiosities, to be completely frank.

Rotom

Rotom
The Plasma Pokémon
Type: Electric/Ghost
Official Registration #: 479
Entry: While its natural form is a foot-tall ball of pure plasma, the intangibility of its body as well as its natural affinity to electricity make it a volatile research subject. It has been known to enter and control elec̜țr̢ọṇḭc͜ d̶e̴v̶i̴c̴e̶s̴,̸ ̷r̷̼͑ẻ̷͔s̶̙̋u̸̧͝ḷ̸͆t̵̞̓i̶̲̚n̶̬̔g̷̬̊ ̷̞̀ȉ̶̪ǹ̷̟ ̶͇̐ê̶͎r̸̗̍r̶̢̓o̵̤͒r̵̫͛s̶͎̅ ̵̥̚o̴͉͒f̷̯̈ ̷͚͒á̶̢n̵͕̓ ̵̟̀u̷͉̕n̷̫͌u̵̪͘s̶͙̅û̷̦a̵͙͠ḻ̷̓ ̴̯̒n̸͙̂ä̶̜́�̷̱̍�̸̦͌�̴͍͗�̷̹͗�̴̘̔�̴̼͠ *:･ﾟ✧(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ

Kanto Legendaries, Part I

Articuno
The Freeze Pokémon
Type: Ice/Flying
Official Registration #: 144
Entry: The Kantonian spirit of ice and winter winds. According to legend, Articuno appears before lost travelers on snowy mountains to guide them to safety. Other legends refer to its ability to conjure strong blizzards and freeze entire bodies of water with each flap of its translucent wings. And still others have put two and two together and come up with the fact that it’s rather suspicious that you have a bird who can conjure blizzards by flapping its wings appearing before travelers who are lost on icy mountains thanks to blizzards. But that is, as the saying goes, none of this writer’s business.

Zapdos
The Electric Pokémon
Type: Electric/Flying
Official Registration #: 145
Entry: The Kantonian spirit of lightning and thunderstorms. According to legend, Zapdos once lived in the mountains of eastern Kanto, where it called down the thunder to spark forest fires and bring about the spark of rebirth. Nowadays, it lives in the Cerulean Power Plant, and workers there are perfectly fine with this because who wants to be the one to tell the ornery embodiment of thunderstorms that it can’t roost wherever it merry well pleases?

Moltres
The Flame Pokémon
Type: Fire/Flying
Official Registration #: 146
Entry: The Kantonian spirit of fire and spring zephyrs. According to Kantonian legend, Moltres flew on a pair of dazzling wings that conjured incredible bursts of flames with every flap. These same legends state that Moltres would dive into volcanoes and use lava to repair its injuries, that it could control blazing infernos, and that its mere presence can quell a raging blizzard. And meanwhile, in Kanto’s neighbor to the west, Johtonian legend states it flies south for the winter like a common swellow and comes back to make our crops grow. This may or may not be one of the many reasons why Kantonians are a little judgmental towards their western neighbors.

Helioptile and Heliolisk

Helioptile
The Generator Pokémon
Type: Electric/Normal
Official Registration #: 694
Entry: This foot-tall reptilian pokémon lives in the desert, where it gains energy by gathering sunlight via the electrical cells on the tips of its long, ear-like frills. Although it looks adorable with its rabbit-like frills and wide, round eyes, petting it is highly discouraged, as its dry skin is rough and, more importantly, prone to discharging of all its stored electricity directly into its hapless trainer upon physical contact.

Heliolisk
The Generator Pokémon
Type: Electric/Normal
Official Registration #: 695
Entry: The evolved form of helioptile, by exposure to sun stone. It is fairly easy to discern a heliolisk’s current emotions, based on its highly visible body language. For example, if the heliolisk’s neck frill is retracted and the heliolisk itself is resting on all fours, then it is relaxed and approachable. By contrast, if it is currently standing on its hind feet with its frill extended as it discharges several thousand volts of electricity into your body via Thunder, then there is a very good chance that it perceives you as a threat.

Voltorb and Electrode

Voltorb
The Ball Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 100
Entry: Given its resemblance to poké balls and the fact that it was discovered in a poké-tech laboratory, it is said that an experiment on capture technology had gone wrong, resulting in a poké ball gaining sentience and becoming a voltorb. It is not known whether or not this is true, but thanks to voltorb’s tendency to explode at the drop of a hat, it’s a fun and educational way of teaching first-year mechanical engineering students the value of quality assurance.

Electrode
The Ball Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 101
Entry: The evolved form of voltorb, by battle experience. At four feet tall and almost 150 pounds, electrode is the larger, more explosive evolutionary relative to voltorb. It’s known for congregating near power plants and consuming electricity until it self-destructs, and its speed at that point as well as its sensitivity to literally any possible trigger make it extremely difficult to handle. It is also known for the fact that it is a larger, stronger voltorb, which makes it a fun and educational way of teaching senior mechanical engineering students the value of quality assurance.

Pikachu?

Plusle
The Cheering Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 311
Entry: Contrary to popular belief, not a long-eared pikachu. Its abilities are best used in tandem with minun; otherwise, you have a very cheerful rabbit with the electrical strength of a battery.

Minun
The Cheering Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 312
Entry: Contrary to popular belief, also not a long-eared pikachu. Its abilities are best used in tandem with plusle; otherwise, you have a very cheerful rabbit with the electrical strength of a battery.

Pachirisu
The EleSquirrel Pokémon
Type: Electric
Official Registration #: 417
Entry: Contrary to popular belief, not a long-tailed pikachu. Not to be underestimated. Although its electrical strength by no means rivals the aforementioned pikachu, its tenacity and energy render it intensely difficult to defeat in the hands of the right trainer. Which has made at least one tournament against a certain dragon trainer hilarious to watch. (On the negative side, this also makes pachirisu infestations difficult to control, which is, to be fair, not entirely an issue except for that one time when one noteworthy specimen was responsible for a major blackout in Castelia City.)

Emolga
The Sky Squirrel Pokémon
Type: Electric/Flying
Official Registration #: 587
Entry: Contrary to popular belief, not a flying pikachu. However, just as potentially destructive as one. Fortunately, as buildings provide inadequate surfaces from which to jump off and land, emolga generally prefer sticking to forested areas, as trees are far easier to glide between. Unfortunately, this is of no comfort to anyone who happens to be traveling through the wooded areas of Unova—which is to say, everyone.

Dedenne
The Antenna Pokémon
Type: Electric/Fairy
Official Registration #: 702
Entry: Actually, this one probably is a close relative to pikachu. We’re still doing research into that.
