Miltank (Japanese: ミルタンク Miltank) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Miltank is a mostly pink colored bipedal cow with small horns and a long tail with a black ball in the end. She has a cream colored belly with four udders. She also has black spots on its back and a black "hood".

Gender differences

Miltank is a female-only species. Its male counterpart is Tauros.

Special abilities

Miltank is the only known Pokémon that learns Milk Drink.

Behavior

Unlike Tauros, Miltank are much more placid Pokémon and spend most of their time eating and digesting grass and other plants. However, they also possess a stubborn streak may be unwilling to comply if they don't receive the proper training required.
