Plant Pokemon

“Pokemon can be classified by following criteria: A low reproduction rate (with the offspring being in most cases of its mother’s species), supernatural abilities like extended longevity (in some cases, as seen in the so-called ‘Legendary Pokemon’, it exceeds several thousand years), the ability to control different elements, large-sized bodies, a sudden second and third mutation/maturity stage, some of which are triggered by the radiation of different ores (and a newly-discovered fourth stage, the ‘Mega-Evolution’ which is triggered by ‘Mega Stones’), and near-human/superhuman intellect, even in animals like arthropods. It was generally believed that Pokemon where a whole different act of Creation, or even extraterrestrial life-forms.

In 1850 however, when a female West-Highland Terrier gave birth to a litter of Lillipups, people began to realize that Pokemon did come, in fact, from normal animals. This caused several theories to spring up until in 1976 the young Pokemon Professor Samuel Oak discovered a virus in one of his samples. First, he believed it to be a contamination, but then curiosity got the better of him. He noted a section in the virus’ DNA he found oddly familiar. In a sample of his Charizard’s DNA, he recognized the exact same section of viral DNA. This lead to a breakthrough in Pokemon research, explaining exactly where Pokemon came from: The ‘Pokerus’ Virus affects the reproductive organs, slipping its genetic information into its hosts gametes and changing the offspring to mutate into Pokemon.”

As it was discovered, the Pokerus also affected plant life. The exact amount of intelligence is unknown, however with Plants being able to determine threats and act accordingly, gardening and farming is a lot more challenging. There are also rumors that Plant Pokemon are able to move and leave the area they grow in, and with dandelions jumping into your face when you try to remove them, I really believe that.

EDIT 22.01.2023: Updated the Main File to include the 9th Generation.

Shroomish, Foongus, Amoongus, Brute Bonnet, Toedscool, Toedscruel, Morelull, Shiinotic, Nacli, Calstack, Garganacl Ferroseed, Ferrothorn, Dhelmise, Comfey, Hoppip, Skiploom, Jumpluff, Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, Bellossom, Gossifleur, Eldegoss, Petilil, Liligant, Hisuian Lilligant, Capsakid, Scovillain, Budew, Roselia, Roserade, Sunkern, Sunflora, Bellsprout, Weepinbell, Victreebel, Carnivine, Pumpkaboo, Gourgeist, Bramblin, Brambleghast, Tangela, Tangrowth, Cherubi, Cherrim, Bounsweet, Applin, Cacnea, Cacturn, Maractus, Exeggcute, Exeggutor, Aloan Exeggutor, Smoliv, Dolliv, Arboliva, Phantump, Treveant, Xurkitree

Notes:
-Exeggutor originally comes from Aloa. However, their seeds are very hardy and survive years submerged in salt water. When they grow, they grow according to their surrounding. If they have lots of water and sun, they'll grow into Aloan Exeggutor. If they only have a lot of light, they grow into the normal Exeggutor that can store a lot of water in their trunks.
-While not plants, Shroomish and the others are fungi- which are not plants. Eh. Close enough.
-This Comfey is owned. Do not attempt to steal it.
-Breloom eggs look a lot like Shroomish for camouflage. Holy shit! A shiny Shroomish! Get it, you dolt!
-The Nacli Family are halophile mushrooms, that store salt in their fruiting bodies.
-Arboliva looks a lot like a Trevenant with Foliage.

PLEASE NOTE: This is how I see the Pokemon. It is fine to be of different opinion, but please tolerate mine.
