→‎Eating other Pokémon: Apparently this is not true parasitism by definition at least by how Wikipedia describes parasitism. Parasitism is a non-mutual symbiotic relationship between species.

 Other cases of Pokémon preying on each other involve more parasitic means. This includes sucking blood, sap, energy or life force from another Pokémon. This is seen with {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}, who in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, together with Gastly, lick the partner Pokémon until they vanish.
-{{p|Slowbro}}'s Pokédex entry in {{v|Crystal}} mentions that {{p|Shellder}} enjoys the taste of the ooze that comes out of the Slowbro's tail. This is likely why Shellder are attracted to biting Slowpoke; thus initiating the evolution into Slowbro and starting Shellder's parasitic, but symbiotic relationship with the Hermit Crab Pokémon. In Pokémon Snap this can also be witnessed while exploring the [[Pokémon Island River|River]]. [[Todd Snap]] can use Pokémon food to lure Slowpoke to spots where they will begin fishing for Shellder. The Bivalve Pokémon quickly takes advantage of this, and bites the Slowpoke's delicious tail and forming Slowbro.

 On numerous occasions, Ash's {{AP|Heracross}} has targeted his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb for sap. Even in the heat of battle, it will quickly pin down Bulbasaur and help itself to the sap inside. While not malicious or particularly harmful in nature, this still annoys and causes Bulbasaur discomfort to no end; Heracross seems to be indifferent to this fact however.
