Bonsly

() is a -type Baby Pokémon that was introduced in Generation IV.
== Biology ==
=== Psychology ===
Bonsly is a round, brown Pokémon with the top of its head resembling a club (♣). A rim goes around the middle of its body. There are three yellow spots on its face, two of which surround its eyes, which are small black dots. It has short legs and toeless feet. Bonsly also has a hole on its rear similar to the draining hole of a flowerpot.
=== Behavior ===
Bonsly thrive in arid environments, as their bodies cannot tolerate much moisture. However, they stand out starkly against dull backgrounds, so they tend to camouflage with trees in wooded areas (albeit away from streams). They sometimes wander into parks for similar reasons; one may occasionally see Bonsly fleeing from gardens when sprinkler systems turn on. Bonsly are often found “crying;” in fact, they are not upset, but rather regulating their moisture levels by excreting excess fluids out of their eyes. They in fact exude two types of fluids this way. The first is salty and similar in composition to human sweat. The other is much more astringent, and is used as a bittering agent in some cuisines. The more humid their surroundings, the more they will weep.
In battle, this skill also goads enemies into letting their guards down. Bonsly are relatively skilled at mimicking trees, capable of remaining still for long periods of time. They dig small holes in the ground and bury themselves halfway, posing as small saplings. Like Sudowoodo, however, attempting to water them will cause them to uproot and scamper away. When threatened, Bonsly will try to flee, but may throw themselves at foes as a last resort. Due to their weight, this can be a very painful maneuver. The dull luster of their green orbs increases as they dry out, acting as a sign of their moisture level.
==Evolution==
Bonsly evolves into Sudowoodo when leveled up while knowing the move Mimic.

==Trivia==
*Bonsly is currently the only -type Baby Pokémon.
*Bonsly originally made its video game debut in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, but its anime debut was in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. In the English dub, it was pronounced "Bons-lee".
*Bonsly is said to be a very heavy Pokémon, weighing over 30 lbs., but May never seemed to have a problem carrying one in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
*In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, Bonsly appeared as a doll, a game prior to Generation IV.
*In Super Smash Bros., Bonsly is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Pokéballs. During this time, it uses the move Tackle.
**However, Bonsly is unable to learn Tackle in any form of main game. Keep in mind, however, that it has to be picked up and thrown (similarly to the Mr. Saturn item) in order to do so.
*Bonsly is one of the ten Pokémon that evolves upon knowing a move. In this case, it needs to know Mimic.
===Origin===
Bonsly is based around petrified wood, plants that have become fossilized into stone over long periods of time. Its lower body resembles a flower-pot or diaper, referencing its status as a Baby Pokémon. Its crying habit also references babies, but may also prelude to its evolution's hate for water, as Bonsly's crying is a way of removing moisture from its body rather than due to emotional stress. Its name may also show it is based on a bonsai tree.
===Etymology===
Bonsly may come from bonsai, "sly", "lie", and "cry".
