Foongus / Amoonguss
We don’t want to start some sort of internal fight, but there’s clearly some confusion over the nature of this mushroomish monster. With both Foongus and Amoonguss sporting the same Poké Ball-like cap, the PSV Pokédex entries seem to try to play both sides of the chicken vs egg debate.
For Foongus, in Scarlet, we get:
There is a theory that the developer of the modern-day Poké Ball really liked Foongus, but this has not been confirmed.
I love how this reads like a straight dunk on the stupid design of the Pokémon. But then get to Violet’s description of Amoonguss and it says:
Amoonguss mimics Poké Balls. It is not yet clear whether this mimicry is effective against other Pokémon.
WELL WHICH IS IT?!
