==Biology==

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}}.

==Trivia==

* Sunkern's official artwork more closely resembled its Shiny form in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} than its regular form. This was somewhat rectified in {{v2|Crystal}}, although the artwork was still more similar to its {{Shiny}} sprite; this discrepancy was fully rectified in [[Generation III]].

* In [[The Official Pokémon Handbook 3]], published by {{wp|Scholastic Corporation}}, Sunkern's data says its height is 0'01" when it is actually 1'00".
