'''Sunkern''' (ヒマナッツ '''Himanatsu''' in ], '''Sonnkern''' in ] and '''Tournegrin''' in ]) is a ] character of the ] franchise. |
|
|
|
|
|
The English form of the name is based on the word ''']''' (which is what inspired the look of the pokémon) and ''']''' (which suggests that it is only the basic level of the pokémon's evolution track) or '''corn''' (referring to its seed-like appearance). |
|
|
|
|
|
==Appearance== |
|
|
Sunkern is a large, yellow-and-brown striped ] with a pair of bright black eyes and a small stem with two green leaves on top. |
|
|
|
|
|
==Biology== |
|
|
Sunkern's entire life seems to be centered around its evolution into ]. It moves as little as possible, trying to preserve the energy and nutrients it will need for the evolution process. This would make it hard for it to find food, but Sunkern survives only on morning ] collected under the leaves of plants beneath which it lies. |
|
|
|
|
|
Sunkern's natural enemy is the birdlike ]. Sunkern is very weak and virtually defenseless against its predator; if attacked, all it can do is shake its leaves desperately at its assaulter. It is unclear whether this actually has any deterring effect on the Spearow. |
|
|
|
|
|
==In the video games== |
|
|
In '']'', '']'' and '']'', Sunkern can be found in Route 24 and in the National Park (though not during the Bug Catching Contest). In '']'', it is available in the Safari Zone. |
|
|
|
|
|
Sunkern's stats are abysmally low, the lowest in the game. All its attributes are in the bottom 10% of all Pokémon, with an identical score of 30. Since Sunkern is slow, defenseless ''and'' offensively challenged, it is extremely hard to use it effectively in battle, or even to keep it alive long enough to use a single attack, for that matter. Sunkern only fairs well when against other Pokemon of the same standard as it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Attempts to make Sunkern useful have included moves like Endeavor, which makes the opponent's remaining Hit Points the same amount as Sunkern's, Safeguard and Light Screen to leave lingering protection to the other teammates, and the Brightpowder item which lowers the opponent's accuracy. All in all, however, Sunkern is generally considered at best an equal to ] when it comes to battling. Sunkern is also given two new moves from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, and they are Ingrain and Bullet Seed |
|
|
|
|
|
==In the animé== |
|
|
Sunkern was featured in episode #189 (Moving picture). Because of ] visiting a mountain that was usually teeming with Sunflora, it was found frozen on the slopes and nursed back to health by an old couple. |
|
|
|
|
|
In return, it evolved into Sunflora via the Sun Stone ] had won in the Bug Catching Contest so that the old couple could have their picture taken with a Sunflora as they did when they first married. It ended up calling hundreds of other Sunflora to it, giving its saviors a fine gold ] gift. |
