Food chain?

[Brettt]

Since all the dex entries say that pokemon eat other ones, who do you think is at the top of the fod chain? At the Bottom? Post ideas or even entire food chains ;448;

 

[Raptress]

I think large legendaries like Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, etc are at the tippy top, but normally it would be stuff like Tyranitar and Salamence(assuming of course that if Pokemon were real they would all exist in the wild *somewhere*).

An example of an area might be the route east of Fuschia. There are (as far as I recall from different games) Pidgeottos, Glooms, Oddish, Bellsprout, Weepinbel, and the occassional Venonat/moth. Pidgeotto is probably at the top here. The others get more complicated. Gloom is related to a rafflesia iirc , a rl plant that eats insects. So it preys on Venonat I suppose (moth maybe but I think it might be too large). Bellsprout, Weepinbel, same deal. Oddish is probably at the lowest tier as it is most plant like, with Venonat and Bellsprout just above it. I'm not sure what the Venos eat, but its likely they would prey on Oddish, Bellsprout and the occassional evolution thereof.

The bottom of the food chain would definitely be Caterpie and Wurmple, and maybe Magikarp. Then there would be a very complicated food web with Kyogre, Groudon and other legendaries and powerfuls at the top.

 

[Jalen]

Its also stated that Magikarp is almost inedible so it would only have a few preditors,
Pigeotto/ pidgeot is said to catch magikarp though.

 

[Michii]

the bottom would be the helpless pokemon, or the bugs, and the top would be the legendaries

It depends on the area also, your not going to find every pokemon in every area. So in the woods or forest some bugs i guess, whereas in fields it would be rattata and so on. You wont find every pokemon in one field after all.

 

[Villi]

I always thought that the plants would be at the bottom. Oddish for instance. Thats how it is in the real world.

 

[Brettt]

i wouldn't include legendaries, more at the top would be poke's like metagross, salamence, dragonite, gyarados, snorlax etc

 

[Nyarumacat]

Legendaries and very strong pokemon on top small pathetic pokemon like caterpie and magikarp on bottom

 

[davidone10]

Well, I guess they could exist, and if they did, they'd be something like this:

wurmple<pidgey<fearrow (I always think of him as a hawk)< machamp (a pseudo-human) < arbok (poison!) < large dragons i.e. salamence< legendaries

 

[Manetric]

i wouldn't include legendaries, more at the top would be poke's like metagross, salamence, dragonite, gyarados, snorlax etc

Minerals wouldn't eat.

For Pettleburg woods for example, Shroomishes and Cacoons would be at the bottom, While Slakoths and Tailows would be at the top.

Metagross's pokedex entry says differently.

 

[Manetric]

Metagross's pokedex entry says differently.

It might eat Plants. Grass pokemon can run away.

 

[ElvenBayleefBoy]

It might eat Plants. Grass pokemon can run away.

Mettagross's can levitate faster than pretty much Any grass Pokemon..

 

[Xylitol]

No, Metagross' pokedex entry says that it traps it's prey under it's four legs and eats the helpless victim with the mouth on the bottom of it's head. Or something along the lines like that.

It wouldn't need to do that with plants, right?

 

[Uber_Gengar]

Sableye only eats rocks and minerals so I guess it eats Geodudes!

Magicarp--eaten by-->Pidgeotto--eaten by-->Gyarados

 

[Manetric]

Is a Snorlax a Herbivore?

 

[jellsprout]

Is a Snorlax a Herbivore?

Yes.

The food chain has nearly nothing to do with power of the Pokémon. Snorlax could be compared to our elephants: they are way too large and strong to be eaten by anything, yet they only eat plants.
Many Electric Pokémon don't eat anything, they just directly extract energy from electricity. I'm guessing the Golems work roughly the same way, except they do it directly from the air.

The food web Raptress provided is probably the most logical one.
And these aren't food chains, where everything eats one thing and gets eaten by one thing, these are food webs, were many things eat many different things and get eaten by many different things and it is web shaped, instead of chain shaped.

Well in the ocean, Sharpedo will be on the top.
