Its favorite food is Honey, and its favorite source is not Grass Pokemon or flowers, but Nursorb. When it finds a Nursorb, it becomes extremely territorial of it, taking on fearsome Pokemon ten times its size.

18. Soylkun (Female Only)
Pupa Pokemon
Element: Bug
Height: 1' 08''
Weight: 25 lbs.
Abilities: Shed Skin: Every turn, the Pokemon has a 1 in 3 chance of healing from a status condition.
Egg Group: Bug
Evolves: Level 10
Pokedex Description: Soylkun, despite its pinkish coloration, looks a lot like an intricately carved stone. Its thin eye slots is all that lets it see the outside world, but its hide is more than tough enough to stand most attacks. Its selfless nature sometimes causes it to jump in front of ally Pokemon to defend them. Though maybe not the most constructive move, it makes Soylkun feel better about itself.
19. Nursorb (Female Only)
Nourishment Pokemon
Element: Bug
Height: 3' 05'' (Not including tail)
Weight: 135 lbs.
Abilities: Honey Gather: The Pokemon may gather Honey from somewhere.
Egg Group: Bug
Evolves: Last Stage of Evolution
Pokedex Description: Nursorb has a bulbous tail, in which it keeps a massive amount of a nutritious honey with enough vitamins to heal most slight injuries. It moves slowly and has little prowess in attacking, but it makes up for it with a tough exoskeleton. Its lack of attack abilities and land speed is made up for when they find a Speerfly partner. Though they adore having the vicious attacker by their side, they have trouble accepting its partner jealousy when it assists others with its Honey. Of course, the jealously may be instilled in the fact that the Honey is transferred through a kissing motion.

Okay, so these are most of the Pokemon you can expect to see early on in the game. Spikeberg is meant to provide an Ice-type Pokemon early on in the game, as most Ice-types can only be found late in the game.
There are some things you'll find different about this region. This includes a great deal of gender specific Pokemon. In turn, this effects breeding rules. If a male and female counterpart (like Speerfly and Nursorb) are bred together, the child has a 50-50 chance of being either gender, menaing either Pokemon.
Also, most Pokemon in this region evolve with experience. Some still need stones or to level up with a special item, but there is no necessary trade evolutions.
Please enjoy and review.
