Sunkern (Japanese: ヒマナッツ Himanuts) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
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.
In the anime
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!.
Multiple Sunkern appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusions as some of the many local Pokémon living in Crown City. Some took part in surrounding Zorua in the park along with the other Pokémon with the intention of attacking him in retribution for what Zoroark did to the city. Before a fight could break out, the Sunkern, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed down by Celebi.
