>Victreebel has a long vine that extends from its head. This vine is waved and flicked about as if it were an animal to attract prey. When an unsuspecting prey draws near, this Pokémon swallows it whole.>animal to attract preyORAS Huntail
>Huntail’s tail is shaped like a fish. It uses the tail to attract prey, then swallows the prey whole with its large, gaping mouth. This Pokémon swims by wiggling its slender body like a snake.>fish, snakeMost of Huntail's entries reference animals, with HGSS even saying that it acts like an "animal" outright
Also, that manual is not a story-based one, but a marketing approval one. It says stuff like "there is no food chain" even though we have mentions of Sneasel eating Pidgey eggs, or "Pokemon never die" when we have cemeteries and Ghost Marowak in the games and even the Stoutland episode in the anime. It's not literally saying that there are no animals, but for advertisers to "play pretend" that there are no animals and not to mention them, because it would detract from the focus on Pokemon
