'''Sunkern''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒマナッツ''' ''Himanuts'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
'''Sunkern''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒマナッツ''' ''Himanuts'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Sunflora}} via {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Sunflora}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sunkern is a mostly yellow, {{wp|seed}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a small sprout growing out of its top. It has triangular, spike-like protrusions on top of its head, encircling the sprout. Its body has three broad, brown, vertical stripes. Two of the stripes start jaggedly above Sunkern's dark eyes and continue downward. The other stripe is directly below Sunkern's mouth. Since Sunkern's eyelids are brown, the brown streak patterning appears uninterrupted when Sunkern's eyes are closed. Its beady eyes are black with white pupils.
Sunkern is a mostly yellow seed-like Pokémon with a small sprout growing out of its top. Sunkern has triangular spike-like protrusions on the top of its head, encircling the sprout. Sunkern’s body has three thick, brown, vertical stripes. Two of the stripes start jaggedly above Sunern’s dark eyes, continuing downward. The other stripe is directly below Sunkern’s mouth. Since Sunkern’s eyelids are brown, when its eyes are closed the brown streak patterning is uninterrupted.


====Gender differences====
Sunkern is known to be very weak. Aware of its weakness, it only feeds until it evolves. However, it feeds on only the dew from under the leaves of plants. It tries to move as little as possible since it tries to conserve all the nutrients it has stored in its body for evolution. If attacked by predators such as {{p|Spearow}}, it shakes its leaves at the attacker. Sunkern occasionally falls from the sky on early mornings for unknown reasons. A year after a cold summer, the population of Sunkern explodes. Sunkern can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|temperate, grassy meadows}}.
None.


====Special abilities====
===Evolution===
At this stage of development, it is fairly weak. Although it has been stated that its only means of defending itself is violently thrashing its leaves at the attacker, it is capable of using a variety of Grass-type moves.  
Sunkern evolves into {{p|Sunflora}}.


===Behavior===
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">{{evobox-2
Sunkern have a tendency to fall from the sky on early mornings, though usually without any predictability. Sunkern tries to move as little as it possibly can, since it tries to conserve all the nutrients it has stored in its body for evolution. A year after a cold summer, the population of Sunkern explodes.
