Biology
Miltank is a bipedal, bovine Pokémon, which can only be female. Its body is mostly pink, with a yellow belly and black, angular markings along its back. A black hood-like marking surrounds its face with a pink, triangular mark on its forehead. There are two small horns on top of its head. It has large, blue eyes, a black nose, and a wide mouth, as well as long, black, floppy ears with yellow insides. Miltank has a yellow udder with four pink teats. All four of its limbs end in black, cloven hooves, and its long tail is tipped with a black sphere.
Until Generation VI, Miltank was the only known Pokémon that could learn Milk Drink. The milk that it produces is sweet and very nutritious, and can be used to heal Pokémon and ill or weary humans. It can produce over five gallons of milk per day, which in turn can be turned into yogurt or enjoyed unchanged by children and adults alike. Miltank lives in grasslands, and is also raised on farms.

Trivia
- Miltank has the highest base Defense of all non-legendary Normal-type Pokémon at 105.
- Miltank's Silver and FireRed Pokédex entries imply that Miltank gives live birth like real-world mammals, despite Pokémon Eggs being introduced in the same generation as the former. This may be the reason why the entry was altered in SoulSilver.
Origin
Miltank is based on female cattle. It shares many traits with jersey cattle, a kind of dairy cow.
Name origin
Miltank is a combination of milk and tank (a storage container for liquid). Tank may also refer to its tank-like defense stats.
