::Oh, wow. That's sad. I mean, now that I think about it, it makes sense, but it sort of invalidates the whole previous meaning of "ecologically similar" in Pokémon. Ecologically similar species are those that have similar ecological niches, not necessarily similar phenotypes. They can be phenotypically similar, especially if they are phenotypically analogous, but this is not a requirement for ecological similarity. Likewise, they can be phenotypically different, even if they are closely related, but this does not preclude ecological similarity. Many "ecologically similar" Pokémon don't really fit this description. Anyway, thanks for the answer.
