There are many forms of food that Pokémon may eat, including one another as prey. However, Pokémon Trainers may offer different types of treats and natural items such as [[Berries]] to their Pokémon. Additionally, many plant-like Pokémon and {{p|Heliolisk}} are able to photosynthesize. Many Pokémon are known to reproduce by producing {{pkmn|Egg}}s, though it is unknown how these eggs are formed or where they come from. There are also many [[Artificial Pokémon|man-made]] and human-influenced Pokémon that have been created by other means, such as {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Porygon}} or {{p|Trubbish}}. There are multiple categories and variations that Pokémon may fall under as well, which describe certain groups and relationships Pokémon may have with each other. Some examples include [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Mythical Pokémon]], [[Paradox Pokémon]], [[Ultra Beast]]s, and [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]]. Pokémon who have been affected by malice are known as [[Shadow Pokémon]].
