The Pokédex contains many seemingly unbelievable "facts" about Pokémon, such as Magcargo being hotter than the surface of the sun, Arcanine being able to run 6,200 miles in a day without stopping, and Raichu being able to knock out an Indian elephant with its Electric attacks. It's likely that the Pokédex doesn't generate the entries itself, but that they're written by a person (possibly the professors) or, in the Gen 7 and 8 games, by Rotom. So do you think the Dex entries are solid fact, or do they exaggerate certain traits and abilities of Pokémon in a fantastical way? My personal opinion is that it's a bit of a mix.
