??? Why would pokemon give live births outside of the daycare when they can already lay eggs? I think the thread was meant for things that are actually believable. It doesn't make sense that their way of reproducing would change depending on where they are.mammalian Pokemon when not in daycare give live births and feed their milk to their young
Pikachu for example have litters of five Pichu typically, the mother rubs the Pichu's bellies after feeding to help them pass their waste (like real mice do)
Theoretically breeding should exist in the wild to allow Pokémon to have offspring to supplement the wild Pokémon population because there is some evidence that Pokémon do have deaths for example one NPC in Mt. Pyre mourning over the loss of a Skitty and the Marowak ghost in Lavender Town. But I do see why wild Pokémon don't usually have access to Egg Moves is because they tend to breed with their same species/same evolutionary line but that leaves behind a mystery for genderless and gender-exclusive Pokémon, especially in habitats where Ditto do not live. Some genderless Pokémon can form out of inorganic matter. The case should be much more fortunate for female-only Pokémon because they can interbreed to produce their own offspring whereas male-only Pokémon have to breed with Ditto to have their own offspring. But just how wild female-only Pokémon do not get Egg Moves is just as mind-boggling too.Is breeding between different species rare in the wild? I suspect so. Most Pokemon you encounter in the wild lack egg moves, and you usually get egg moves from interspecies breeding.
Guzzlord reminds me a lot of a black hole. First, the Dark type. Second, the fact it is a voracious eater. And of course, its droppings have never been found. As if everything just stops existing inside it. Like how whatever goes past the event horizon will NEVER return

Pikachu may look like a mouse, but it is not a mouse, and it isn't a mammal either. You can't apply real-world animal classifications to Pokémon that strictly. All Pokémon give birth via eggs, not live births, that has been more than established.
Um, monotremes lay eggs, and they're mammals. They even nurse their young like regular mammals.
Also, this is a fictional world where cats can shoot laser beams from their eyes. I don't think it's fair to say that they can't be classified with these terms simply because they don't follow real-world animals to the exact letter.
Game Freak isn't going to waste precious development time trying to program how Pokemon based on certain animals give birth. It's already illogical enough that eggs hatch into fully grown Pokemon (coughKangaskhancough), so realism clearly isn't their focus.
You don't belong in this thread because this is for fan theories, and you can't seem to grasp that.
I like to think that most legendaries in the none egg group, aside from a select few, are actually capable of reproduction. The life cycles are just so long and/or times for reproduction so scarce, compared to non legendaries, that it keeps the populations low enough to the point that people often consider them only legends.
