Biology[]
Physiology[]
Achorno is a cocoon-like Pokemon that also resembles a treehopper. It has white armor with brown markings that make it resemble a skull, but its real head is brown and is concealed in between the skull's teeth. It also has six legs; four are attached to its orange underside.
Gender Differences[]
None.
Special abilities[]
To conserve energy, Achorno will remain motionless for long periods. It hides in thorny branches where its armor resembles the thorns. But if a predator detects it, it will switch to shock tactics, releasing a piercing wailing noise to deter its foe.
Habitat[]
It lives in forests, particularly on thorny plants for camouflage.
Behavior[]
They live in large groups in the forest. To prevent themselves from being detected, they will remain motionless most of the time. They feed on tree sap, and will stick to their host plant for hours while feeding. When they have consumed enough sap, they will move on to the next plant, screaming and wailing all the way like undead skulls to deter enemies.
Diet[]
Because their bodies are developing inside their armor, they rely on the energy stored as Castigyan. Aside from this, their primary diet seems to be tree sap.
In Iron & Copper[]
Powerdex Entries[]
Iron: "This Pokemon's horrid camouflage has frightened more than one inexperienced Trainer. It lives in groups that stick together, hanging from trees and branches like huge thorns to avoid predators. But if they are detected, they will use their second disguise, advancing upon the foe and wailing like a horde of undead skulls."
Copper: "This Pokemon's horrid camouflage has frightened more than one inexperienced Trainer. It lives in groups that stick together, hanging from trees and branches like huge thorns to avoid predators. But if they are detected, they will use their second disguise, advancing upon the foe and wailing like a horde of undead skulls."
Bronze: "Despite its frightening appearance, it is mostly harmless. It feeds on tree sap and gathers in large groups, attaching themselves to the plants they feed on to resemble thorns. When they have consumed enough sap, they will move on to the next plant, screaming and wailing all the way like undead skulls to deter enemies."
