A short write-up on Cottonee, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
When attacked, it escapes by shooting cotton from its body. The cotton serves as a decoy to distract the attacker.
They go wherever the wind takes them. On rainy days, their bodies are heavier, so they take shelter beneath big trees.
Perhaps because they feel more at ease in a group, they stick to others they find. They end up looking like a cloud.
A second dex beat (Moon) frames Cottonee as pillows and beds stuffed with cotton exhaled by cottonee are soft and puffy, light and airy— altogether top quality. Rotating that line on a sticky note beside the page keeps the spread feeling lived-in.
Cottonee shows up in Omega Ruby lore as when attacked, it escapes by shooting cotton from its body.. When you shop for cards, look for illustrations that lean into that mood instead of generic portrait poses.
