Carnivine (マスキッパ, Musukippa?) (CAR-neh-vine) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

Biology

Physiology

Carnivine is undoubtedly one of the strangest looking Pokémon. It appears to resemble a venus flytrap, with huge jaws and red and green vines that it uses to hang from mangrove trees in the marshes where it lives. Carnivine also has leaves where its arms should be. Carnivine does not move much, it simply hangs upside-down and waits for bugs such as Ledyba, to fly by.

Behavior

They use their tentacles to latch onto tree branches, dangling the rest of their bodies below. They remain immobile much of the time, disguising as plants. While waiting, they keep their mouths wide open and drool a sweetly scented saliva that attracts prey towards them. Victims approach expecting fruit or nectar, but instead are met with their jaws, which can shut closed in the blink of an eye. Once Carnivine manage to chomp down on victims, it can take a whole day for them to digest their prey, depending on its size.

They can open their jaws 180º, acting like landing pads of sorts for aerial prey. They tend to dwell in areas with soil that is acidic and nutrient-poor; scientists hypothesize that they evolved to be carnivorous in order to cope with this. Poor soil quality and low levels of sunlight made it difficult for most Grass-type Pokémon to subsist solely on photosynthesis, so Carnivine evolved to consume living prey instead to survive where other Grass-types could not.

Natural abilities

Carnivine only has the ability Levitate which allows it to float in the air and become immune to Ground-type moves. It is said to look like a plant that hangs from branches by using his tentacles. Carnivine lets out its sweet-smelling saliva to attract prey and chomps on the prey. Carnivine takes an entire day to eat its prey.

Evolution

Carnivine does not evolve.

Anime

James' Carnivine.

James owned a Carnivine since he was a little kid in the Sinnoh region as a playmate, and he went back to his mansion in Sinnoh to retrieve it to join his team. Carnivine often hugs and bites James when he sends it out into battle.

Trivia

• Carnivine and Victreebel show many similarities:
  • Both are based on carnivorous plants.
  • Both have a gender ratio of 50/50.
  • Both of their shinies contain light green and light brown in some way.

Origin

Carnivine shares similarities to Venus flytrap.

Etymology

Carnivine is a portmanteau of carnivore and vine.

The species' Japanese name, "Muskippa," is derived from Dionaea muscipula, the scientific name for the Venus flytrap.
