>>20747277>How can Lucario read minds and communicate telepathically, but not be a psychic type?Numerous species of pokemon have evolved and developed "psychic-like" abilities without nessicarily being classified as psychic pokemon. This is usually due to other more important characteristics in their behavior or adaptations belaying any "psychic" classification. Lapras is ALSO capable of telepathy but despite that does not otherwise choose to defend itself or otherwise display any psychic tendancies worth classification. PSYDUCK has one of largest brain to body ratio of any non-psychic pokemon AND readily defends itself using psychic abilities, but is not otherwise classified as a psychic pokemon.
What ultimately though decides it and what do they all have in common? All these pokemon do not rely on their psychic abilities for survival.. they're more of a stage of developing or psuedo form of psychic ability development. Think of it as catching a glimpse in transitional pokemon evolution.
>>20747205>How do the personalities of the three Magemite/Metang/Beldum interact in the Magneton body?All three of these pokemon share a common ancestor with one another as they belong in the Mineral egg group, realistically we also need to make it clear that these pokemon... they are usually brains that have evolved and developed to calcify and mimic the qualities of stone or minerals to take advantage of the natural magnetic qualities and energy sources of the earth as opposed to organic ones. They are however most famous for their "plug and play" survival strategy: Beldum and Magnemite are not born as individual organisms so much so that they are born as separate or individual pieces of an organism to be later assembled into a "mature" organism. Why do this? This stratagy ensures that the species can produce MANY offspring that are naturally inclined to not only ensure their own survival, but the survival of their entire species if they wish to "mature" or "evolve".
