Overview

Venonat are nocturnal Pokémon that dwell in dark places like dimly lit forest floors. They hide in tree hollows until nightfall, when their main sources of food emerge. They eat tiny insects that flit about the dark undergrowth. Venonat are attracted to light and can commonly be seen swarming around lampposts near the forests where they live. The bristly hairs covering them protect them from predators by making them unappetizing meals. Venonat also ooze poison from all over their bodies as a secondary defense mechanism. Their large compound eyes can sense tiny movements in the ​darkness, allowing them to easily hone in on their tiny insect prey. Additionally, their eyes also function as “radar units” of sorts, alerting them to potential dangers lurking about. Venonat can use their eyes to defend themselves by firing beams, such as when using the moves Psybeam and Signal Beam; both attacks can confuse and disorient targets. Venonat can also utilize moves such as Poison Powder and Poison Fang to debilitate opponents as well.
