Rhydon: Because RHYDON's thick hide makes it extremely insensitive, it has often been mistaken for stupid. It is actually quite intelligent, and learns quickly from past experiences.

Torkoal: TORKOAL is quite difficult to capture due to the white smoke it releases when frightened. Like volcanic ash, the smoke is beneficial to desert vegetation.

Flygon: FLYGON possesses sensitive antennae that act as seismographs. In the event of an earthquake, it rapidly beats its wings and hovers until the danger has passed.
