So Yonmega Lantern.

And one of the ways that he was able to win was by using that Bouffalant there.

And the Bouffalant one-hit KOs the Rayquaza Deoxys Legend for just two energy with its revenge attack because it's weak to colorless.

This week I am joined by a wildlife educator and returning guest to talk about the intersection of two of my most strongly held lifelong interests, zoology and Pokemon.

What can we learn about the wildlife and ecology of our world through the fantastical creatures in the world of Pokemon? We are gonna talk about the convergent evolution of different species of Pokemon like Tauros and Bouffalant, the mega evolution of salmon, why Komodo dragons might actually be steel type, and of course, we're making teams.

Which real animals would go on our guest's team, and which Pokemon would go on mine? You are about to find out.

You might be able to tell from how I sound, but I'm sick, and you might be thinking, "But Ellen, weren't you just sick a couple of weeks ago?" And yes, I was, and I am once again.

It looks kinda like a, like a longhorn.
