>>56361557>What do they eat? Hoppip photosynthesizes, Surskit sifts through water, Phanpy travels miles between oasis and oasis to eat vegetation like real-life desert elephants.
Aron feeds on minerals in caves or scrap metal when they has the chance, Zubat hunts depending on whether it is insectivorous (Surskit, Vibrava) frugivorous (Hoppip) pisivorous (Wooper) or hematophagous (humans). Wooper, like desert salamanders, takes advantage of what falls into its waters and resorts to cannibalism, like Quagsire could hunt small Aron, Sandshrew, Vibrava, Hoppip, or Zubat.
Tranpich live in communities and are desert scavengers, but will catch anything small if it falls into their traps, Sandshrew are insectivores that will likely devour Tranpich and its eggs, Giglar must be nocturnal predators hunting anything they can, a group trying to hunt a Donphan must be quite a spectacle.
Meditite and Shukcle were brought by humans and depend on their farms.
>Sand?Larvitar is a mountain-eating creature, which resembles certain fantasy basilisks that turn their territories into deserts because they feed on rocks and sand. This would explain why there are no roads or train tracks in Orre and why its cars, bikes, and trains are so rare, Aron eats the train tracks and Tyranitar and Donphan destroy the asphalt.
