Overview |
In Galar, many areas have soil that is enriched in metals, particularly iron. This is both due to the natural geology of the region as well as artificial enrichment due to heavy industrialization. This high metal content has led to the evolution of Galarian Stunfisk in iron-rich mudflats. These Pokémon can be found in marshes and wetlands like their standard counterparts, but have also moved into mines damp with metallic pit water. Rather than electricity, Galarian Stunfisk instead wield sharp iron "teeth" that they use to chomp down on unwary passerby. The bodies of Galarian Stunfisk are also as sturdy as steel, so they do not mind being stepped on. Their lips are gaudily colored like Poké Balls, though scientists speculate they may instead look like appetizing Berries or mushroom caps to other Pokémon. When victims come by to investigate, they swing their tails forward to meet their heads, clamping down the jagged barbs that line their fins like interlocking teeth. This mechanism is so efficient at holding down prey that Galarian trappers once based hunting equipment off of these Pokémon.
