Why hello there!
>Baby pokemon are most likely a product of certain species of sociable pokemon with low birth rates that otherwise invest a great deal of time in raising their offspring in order to ensure their survival and development. You'll notice this is very evident in humanoid pokemon and pokemon that are otherwise very nurturing or sociable: Hitmons, Jynx, Mr.Mime, Chansey, etc..
>The Electric mouse family became so successful and abundant in numerous regions due to the fact that they were able to evolve and adapt the perfect defense against their natural predator: flying pokemon. Electrical based defense was perfect because flying types had no jumping board to counteract it without giving up the ability of flight; which of course was not at all worth the trade off.
>Pokemon that otherwise "wear clothes" but don't otherwise come into contact with humans, most likely make their own clothing themselves using woven plant fibers or hunted pokemon pelts. The exception is pokemon that only "look" like they're wearing clothes: Hitmonchan's "tunic" and Jynx/Gardevoir's "dress" is most likely excessive baggy thick FLESH that is meant to protect sensitive areas during battles or for display purposes. It probably grows back if torn off.
>In the case of Ekans and Arbok: the ability "shed-skin" is in fact a predatorial adaptation to allow them to consume a much wider range of prey items such as ponyta, rapidash, and mareep without having to fear the threat of burn or paralysis. Shed-skin is also an adaptation wildly seen in "cocooned" pokemon (metapod, kakuna, cascoon, silkoon, etc..) this is most likely an adaptation to defend against the poisons of predatory insect pokemon which would not be detered by their "hardened carapace" and instead inject poisons into them through vapors, powders, or stingers to incapacitate them and liquefy their innards while they lay their helplessly.
