📖 Pokédex entry in English and Japanese
Sunkern tries to move as little as it possibly can. It does so because it tries to conserve all the nutrients it has stored in its body for its evolution. It will not eat a thing, subsisting only on morning dew.ヒマナッツはできる限り動かないようにしている。これは、進化のために体内に蓄えた栄養分を温存するためである。何も食べず、朝露だけで生きている。
