Meat is often shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but while it has never been shown to come from Pokémon | Meat is often shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but while it has never been directly shown to come from Pokémon, no other food source has yet been explained. It is known that some Pokémon produce edible foods and by-products such as milk, nuts and fruit. These can be safely harvested with little or no harm or discomfort to the Pokémon. However, it has been mentioned that some Pokémon are hunted and used for their meat. {{p|Farfetch'd}} in particular are noted for making a good meal, especially when cooked with leek. Because of their delicious taste, Farfetch'd were nearly hunted into extinction and ultimately leading to their rareness. | ||
During a story arc within the [[Gen II]] games and their remakes, the newly reformed Team Rocket begin stealing {{p|Slowpoke}}, cutting off their [[Slowpoke_Tail#SlowpokeTail|tails]] and then selling them as a rare delicacy. It is indicated that the tail is not eaten, but is sucked or lightly chewed on; similar to the manner in which a person would enjoy {{wp|Honeysuckle}}. | During a story arc within the [[Gen II]] games and their remakes, the newly reformed Team Rocket begin stealing {{p|Slowpoke}}, cutting off their [[Slowpoke_Tail#SlowpokeTail|tails]] and then selling them as a rare delicacy.

In ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', | In ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Ash and friends, along with {{Team Rocket}} are stranded in the middle of the ocean without food. Eventually due to their hunger and the dire nature of their situation, Ash and Brock began to discuss and fantasize about eating {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Gyarados|James's Magikarp}}. Unfortunately for them and {{TR|Meowth}} in particular, Magikarp's body composition renders it nearly inedible. Misty elaborates on this, stating that Magikarp are nothing more than scale and bone, thus there would be little sustenance obtained. | ||
In ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', [[Harley]] has a flashback in which a class mate (who looks like [[May (anime)|May]]) stole his "snackie", which bore a resemblance to tiny {{p|Octillery}}, similar to the octopi served in some real-life restaurants. It is unknown if these were actual Octillery, or just food prepared and shaped to look like them. | In ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', [[Harley]] has a flashback in which a class mate (who looks like [[May (anime)|May]]) stole his "snackie", which bore a resemblance to tiny {{p|Octillery}}, similar to the octopi served in some real-life restaurants.
