>Sudowoodo is actually not native to the Johto region and is actually a potentially dangerous introduced species due to being native to the Sinnoh region and having no natural predators within Johto. The very first Sudowoodo's introduced into Johto were traced back to a container of BONSLEY mistaken for actual ornamental plants and brought into Goldenrod city where they later escaped into the wild. The Sudowoodo's natural predator is the Sinnoh Rhyhorn.
>The ability GUTS is a very specific adaptation evolved by certain pokemon with an overall "generalist" omnivorous diet. This allows numerous species of fighting pokemon and wide-spread pokemon (such as raticate/rattata) to consume a wide variety of otherwise poisonous, burning, paralyzing, fruits, vegetables, and even hunt other pokemon without fear. Heracross and Taillow are an exception in that they evolved GUTS as an adaptation against the various status afflicting powders of predators and in the case of the taillow- to prey upon juicy wurmples.
>Lickitung is one of the most voracious of omnivores: it is perfectly adapted to indiscriminately eat anything that can otherwise fit inside of it's mouth and this does include flora and fauna. Lickitung used to be more widespread but they were hunted to do the illustrious, soft, and elastic qualities of their pelts.
>Humans "can" theoretically be classified into three elemental typings: Psychic, Fighting, and Normal. This information pre-dates recorded pokemon history and is a humongous source of controversy and debate like all information having to do with primitive human and pokemon interaction. How much was learned? How much was "Natural"?
