It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
The Paradox Pokémon and are said to be either ancient and future relatives of Cyclizar, respectively, or counterparts of it from parallel timelines.
==Biology==
Cyclizar is a green reptilian Pokémon resembling a lizard. Its head is mostly black, with a green coloration between its and lower jaw, along with orange circular cheeks. Its neck, paw pads, and tail are also black; the latter has a white tip. Its rear has a covering resembling a motorcycle seat, located at the base of its tail. On its throat is a black sac with a white inner coloring, resembling a rubber tire.
Cyclizar has a mild temperament. It has been kept by humans and used for transport since ancient times, with depictions of this behavior found in murals dating back 10,000 years ago. This relationship appears to be mutualistic since the warmth of Cyclizar's rider helps it avoid getting cold, along with lifting its spirit. When carrying a human, Cyclizar can reach a speed of over 70 mph (120 km/h). Cyclizar maintains its balance and absorbs shock while running by using its hard head and thick yet supple tail. It also uses its head and tail to attack during battles.Cyclizar — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website Cyclizar is strong enough to carry luggage and equipment used by humans.
