Sunkern (Japanese: ヒマナッツ Himanuts) is a Grass-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Sunflora when exposed to a Sun Stone.

Biology

Sunkern is a mostly yellow, seed-like Pokémon with a small sprout growing out of its top. It has triangular, spike-like protrusions on top of its head, encircling the sprout. Its body has three broad, brown, vertical stripes. Two of the stripes start jaggedly above Sunkern's dark eyes and continue downward. The other stripe is directly below Sunkern's mouth. Since Sunkern's eyelids are brown, the brown streak patterning appears uninterrupted when Sunkern’s eyes are closed.

Sunkern is known to be very weak. Aware of its weakness, it only feeds until it evolves. However, it feeds on only the dew from under the leaves of plants. It tries to move as little as possible, since it tries to conserve all the nutrients it has stored in its body for evolution. If attacked, it shakes its leaves at the attacker. Sunkern occasionally falls from the sky on early mornings for unknown reasons. A year after a cold summer, the population of Sunkern explodes. Sunkern can be found in grassy meadows.

Major appearances

Sunkern made its debut appearance in Moving Pictures. Ash, Brock, Misty, and Todd Snap found it frozen in a field. Ash eventually evolved it using his Sun Stone from The Bug Stops Here, and it summoned more Sunflora so that Sophia and Marcello could take a picture for their golden anniversary.

Minor appearances

Sunkern also appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One.

Sunkern also made a brief appearance in Giratina and the Sky Warrior and Arceus and the Jewel of Life.

A Sunkern's fossilized leaf made an appearance in a flashback in Ancient Family Matters!.

A group of Sunkern appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusions as a few of the many local Pokémon who lives in Crown City. Some took part in surrounding Zorua in the park along with the other Pokémon to prepare to attack him, angry at Zorua for what Zoroark did to the city. Before a fight broke out, the Sunkern, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed by Celebi.

Sunkern appeared in Celebi: a Timeless Encounter.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Sunkern debuted in The Legend when two were seen up on a tree when Green had finished her message to Silver in Johto.

A Sunkern was one of the Pokémon in Joey's bag after Gold helped Joey get it back in Murkrow Row.

In Sunkern Treasure, Gold encounters a herd of Sunkern escaping from a wild Skarmory. To help Falkner capture the Skarmory, Gold captures the Sunkern to use her jumping ability to get high enough and attack it. Afterward it was named Sunbo and later evolved into a Sunflora through a makeshift Sun Stone.

Another Sunkern was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in Ilex Forest in The Last Battle XIII.
