:::::::Sorry to continue the conversation, but there ''is'' more evidence than that. They're both mono-gender Normal-types with base stat totals of 490, their Special Attack and Special Defense are identical, and they're always found in the same locations when not in a Safari Zone (with the strange exception of the HG/SS-only Routes 47 and 48, which each contain only one.) Diamond and Pearl treated them as counterparts, as (when using the Pokeradar on the routes that include them, 209 and 210), their rarities are swapped between the two games, with Platinum giving them the same chances, while all Johto-based games have them with equal rarity on Route 39 and almost-equal on Route 38 (Crystal fixed that, making them exactly equal again.) In fact, though this one is a bit of a reach, Miltank is found in Colosseum's final dungeon, and Tauros in XD's final dungeon. It may not be "officially" official, but there's a lot more to it than them just being cattle. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 12:14, 12 April 2010 (UTC) | :::::::Sorry to continue the conversation, but there ''is'' more evidence than that.

This is a very old debate from the looks of it, but one that seems to be finally solved thanks to Sun and Moon. Both Tauros and Miltank are on the same Pokédex page, which is usually reserved for evolutionary lines like Eeveelutions. However, evolution-wise they are not related at all, which leads to the logical conclusion that they must be officially related in some other way, if not in gameplay then most likely in lore. Another pair like this are Oranguru and Passimian. I don't know if any other non-evolving Pokémon are listed in pairs like this yet, but it's certainly an interesting detail to include on Game Freak's part. If anything, I think it should at least be added to the trivia section. [[User:Raddaman8000|Raddaman8000]] ([[User talk:Raddaman8000|talk]]) 16:14, 9 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
