Disclaimer: If I owned Pokémon, Bug Maniacs would be more maniacal and they would have Scyther, Scolipede and other intimidating insects. But I don't!

#451 Skorupi

A desert tribe once performed occult rites with this venomous Pokémon. As a result of these rituals, the tribed exterminated itself.

#452 Drapion

It whips prey with its tail and pins it down with its powerful arms before injecting neurotoxins. It is particularly aggressive toward desert caravans, necessitating the use of bodyguards when entering its habitat.

#453 Croagunk

A group of Croagunk was sighted huddled under a bridge in rural Unova. They were muttering and holding strange glowing objects that gave off brilliant sparks.

#454 Toxicroak

An agile rainforest predator that seems to hunt humans for sport. It stealthily hops through the canopy, inflating its poison sac just before it strikes from above.

#455 Carnivine

An epiphyte that obtains nitrogenous nutrients from animal prey. It usually catches insects but large specimens are capable of swallowing a small child.

#456 Finneon

It sprays a Water Gun to knock insects out of the air. Working in groups, it can spray houses built over its river with enough force to knock them over and drown larger prey.

#457 Lumineon

Although it lives in a marine environment, it prefers to eat bugs which gather on the surface of the shallows. It keeps them unconscious but alive in its stomach and uses unknown means to manipulate them to attack.

#458 Mantyke

A playful species of manta that loves to frolic with children in shallow seas. However, it may become carried away in its play and accidentally drown them in a whirlpool.

#459 Snover

People may unknowingly chop one down and take it home as a Christmas tree. On Christmas morning, they are discovered frozen in their beds.

#460 Abomasnow

The infamous Dzu-Teh of the high Himalayas. Its existence was only recently verified because researchers who followed its footprints did not return from the snowy slopes.

#461 Weavile

The first Weavile knocks a victim over, the second scratches him horribly and the third heals the surface of his wounds with dark energy. He will die of internal bleeding within days.

#462 Magnezone

It appeared in the sky when a man disappeared. When he returned fifteen years later, he had lost his memory and his wife had died.

#463 Lickilicky

A Lickitung raised on a diet of fast food and artificial additives by its Trainer. It is likely to die of a heart attack within a few years.

#464 Rhyperior

Its body has been hardened by magma and its spirit has been hardened by a desire for vengeance. It seeks those who hunted its dead siblings for their horns.

#465 Tangrowth

Its vines sway wildly, ensnaring anything that comes too near. If you look upon its true face, you will be turned to stone.

#466 Electivire

The Meh-Teh of the Himalayas, smaller than the related Abomasnow but just as dangerous. Many monasteries refuse to use electricity for fear of attracting this aggressive creature.

#467 Magmortar

It hibernates for many years at a time, awakening only to feed. It attempts to lure children into its lair in the sewers.

#468 Togekiss

They suck up all suffering and negative energy from their surroundings. Witches keep them to absorb the evil byproducts of their spells, replacing them callously when they die of an overload of negativity.

#469 Yanmega

Until it was revived, it was thought that it could only survive in high-oxygen environments. The scientists who first managed to resurrect it were found headless; the Yanmega had escaped.

#470 Leafeon

An Eevee genetically modified with phytohormones. The auxins in its body cause it to constantly scatter seeds that will quickly sprout and choke any environment, even a huge industrial city.

#471 Glaceon

To be transformed into Glaceon, an Eevee must be left in the snow for extended periods. Most die before the chemicals they were primed with are activated by the cold.

#472 Gliscor

They silently stalk desert towns, seeking prey to carry off to their cliffside lairs. Only once was one successfully killed- its body was photographed in a barn but the picture has mysteriously disappeared.

#473 Mamoswine

They were successfully cloned from a preserved carcass of a juvenile found in Siberia. Prehistoric man constructed spike pits in canyons and chased them over the edge so they could eat the impaled flesh.

#474 Porygon-Z

It was created to hunt cosmic horrors in non-Euclidean space, but the project was derailed by a severe virus. It was driven insane by constant exposure to spam.

#475 Gallade

It was employed by a secret society during the Crusades. It commits ritual suicide by disembowelment if it fails its Trainer.
