So I have to wonder, what’s the difference between the naturally occurring elements and the stuff generated by pokemon when battling? For example, Rhydon, as a ground/rock type, is easily defeated by water type attacks, but some of them can swim and ferry trainers on their backs while doing so?? And I can wash my Fennekin just as well as any other pokemon, but a water gun hurts it a lot. Is it just the velocity or is there something inherently different about pokemon moves and the natural stuff?

Well, it depends on the attack and the defending pokémon, really, but for many of the water attacks you’ve described, it quite literally is a matter of pressure. For example, Surf, when used on the battlefield, is the literal raising of a tidal wave and driving it to crash down upon one’s opponent, and Water Gun is a high-powered jet of water, equivalent to being blasted by a fire hose. By contrast, when swimming or bathing, a pokémon is not enduring high amounts of pressure slamming down on it, and thus, its hide is able to withstand contact with it so long as the pokémon in question isn’t exposed to water for days on end.

Putting it another way, a rhydon’s hide is still being eroded by contact with water; it’s just that when it swims, this process happens at a much, much slower pace than when it’s being slammed with a literal tidal wave. Thus, it’s not necessarily hurt by swimming unless its hide is already severely damaged.

Additionally, some attacks make use of elemental energies linked to the pokémon’s unique aura. For example, any attack that glows or causes a pokémon’s body to glow (except for those of the psychic element, which glow as a natural result of exercising one’s own psi abilities) simply involves the channeling of a user’s inner energies in order to generate the attack. Thus, the attack in question is not only composed of literal water but also the essence thereof to create a rather potent combination of elemental force.

If I’m allowed another shot then. Amaura (&Aurorus)? I love the little ice-dino.

Ah, reader, you may request as many pokémon as you wish!

Amaura
The Tundra Pokémon
Type: Rock/Ice
Official Registration #: 698
Entry: This gentle pokémon lived in the northernmost regions of the planet roughly 100 million years ago. However, evidence shows that amaura actually originated from warmer climates and migrated northward due to encroaching tyrunt and tyrantrum over a period of millennia. The gradual movement of these pokémon allowed it to adapt to colder weather and develop both its affinity with the ice element and its ability to use officially normal-type moves as if they were of the ice type instead. And we know all of this partly due to the skills developed by paleontologists over the past couple of centuries and partly because certain inventors have taken to reviving amaura from fossils alongside its only predator as if there is absolutely nothing wrong with that idea.

Aurorus
The Tundra Pokémon
Type: Rock/Ice
Official Registration #: 699
Entry: The evolved form of amaura, at night and by battle experience. Aurorus has apparently gained every adaptation possible for defending itself from its tyrantrum predators. Not only has it become adept at using ice-type moves (including those it improvises as being ice-type), but it is also capable of forging a wall of unbreakable ice, breathing gusts of air that reach temperatures of -240 degrees Fahrenheit, and, if all else fails, bringing attention to itself by projecting auras into the sky. Why might that last adaptation be its last resort, you ask? Because aurorus have been known to travel in large herds, and every individual aurorus is on average 496 pounds. Factor in the fact that tyrantrum were not known for hunting in packs, and you have possibly the most effective predatory deterrent short of any water-type pokémon using wailord as a shield.

Pachirisu & Emolga ;)

Hello, reader! Thank you for the request, but it seems I have already done these. I do hope you enjoy, and should you be interested in hearing about any other pokémon, please don’t hesitate to comment.

Alternatively, if you have any questions regarding pachirisu or emolga behavior, I would be more than happy to answer. Urban pachirisu are especially noteworthy, given their tendency to nest in buildings, combined with the fact that said cohabitation behaviors often result in increased fire hazards, electrocution hazards, and general mayhem for their human companions.
