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, and were nearly hunted to extinction because of this, ultimately leading to their rareness. | 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.

During a story arc within the [[Gen II]] games and their remakes, the newly reformed Team Rocket begin stealing {{p|Slowpoke}}, cutting off their [[Valuable item#Slowpoke Tail|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}}. This is also mentioned in the [[Slowpoke Song]], wherein it is implied that this is most common among children. | During a story arc within the [[Gen II]] games and their remakes, the newly reformed Team Rocket begin stealing {{p|Slowpoke}}, cutting off their [[Valuable item#Slowpoke Tail|tails]] and then selling them as a rare delicacy.

In the [[Alola]] region, Slowpoke tails simply fall off and are used in many Alolan dishes. However, the tails need to be dried and then simmered in a salty stew in order to be properly edible. Many products are made from Slowpoke tails, which are show up when examining the shelves at the [[Thrifty Megamart]]. | ||
While visiting the [[Canalave Library]], it is revealed in the {{DL|Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh Folk Tales}} that Pokémon caught from the sea are eaten, and then the bones thrown back into the water.
