Monster (egg group)

The Monster egg group (Japanese: かいじゅう Monster) is one of the sixteen egg groups.

Characteristics

Monster group Pokémon are usually among the most powerful, and most well-known. Though not as large as the Ground group, the Monster group is still a fairly large group. In terms of general body shape, most appear to be bipedal and possess a tail. Most of them are also partially reptilian.

It is also worth noting that a large number of families in this egg group evolve twice over the course of their development.
