Elemental Pokémon

The Elemental Pokémon are a group of 19 Pokémon native to the Miato region. Varying wildly in appearance, habitat and distribution, they appear to have very little in common - short of having a single evolutionary stage and a single type. Appearances, however, can be deceiving - and the unique traits the Elemental Pokémon have in common are testament to that.

All Pokémon are attuned, in some way, with nature - and appear to be capable of tapping into a form of omnipresent, ambient energies that can only be described as pertaining to the elemental planes (leading to their common description as 'magical creatures' in various historical sources). While the mechanism that allows Pokémon to tap into these energies is not entirely understood, the Type affinities of Pokémon and moves appear to derive in equal measures from biological/chemical elements as well as this elemental attunement.

The Elemental Pokémon, however, take this attunement a step further.
