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 that may be unwilling to comply if they don't receive the proper training required. When properly trained, they can be a very useful asset, both in milking and battling. It does share some similarities with a dog, however. This can be seen in [[Tanks for the Memories]] where Ilta, [[Autumn]]'s Miltank, licked her.

Miltank (Japanese: ミルタンク Miltank) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

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

Biology

Physiology

Miltank is a mostly pink colored bipedal cow with blue eyes, small horns and a long, cream-colored tail with a black ball in the end. She has a cream colored belly with an udder. There are black spots on her back as well as a black "hood".

Gender differences

Miltank is a female-only species. Many fans consider its male counterpart to be Tauros, despite the facts that Tauros was introduced a generation earlier and that Miltank cannot produce Tauros Eggs.

Special abilities

Miltank is the only known Pokémon that learns Milk Drink. The milk that it produces is very nutritious and can be used to heal Pokémon.

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 that may be unwilling to comply if they don't receive the proper training required. When properly trained, they can be a very useful asset, both in milking and battling.

Habitat

Miltank are happiest in fresh pastures.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Miltank are herbivores. They mostly consume grass, which they convert into milk. Miltank are also known to eat Berries and Poffins, provided usually by Trainers unless they have been left lying around.

Trivia

  • Miltank has the highest base Defense of all non-legendary Normal-type Pokémon at 105.
  • Miltank's Silver and FireRed Pokédex entries imply that Miltank gives live birth like real-world mammals, despite Pokémon Eggs being introduced in the same generation as the former. This may be the reason why the entry was altered in SoulSilver.

Origin

Miltank is based on female cattle. It shares many traits with jersey cattle, a kind of dairy cow.

Name origin

Miltank is a combination of milk and tank (a storage container for liquid). Tank may also refer to her tank-like defense stats.
