![]() ![]() Maybe it mainly hunts Pokémon that have trouble seeing the colour yellow, or are just extremely stupid. ![]() This is a sensible choice if it uses its electricity mainly to defend itself – think of the bright colours of poisonous animals like dart frogs – but very strange if, as the Pokédex claims, it’s actually an ambush predator like a torpedo ray. In fact, it has a big yellow exclamation mark that seems like it ought to be a warning symbol. Unovan Stunfisk doesn’t appear to have bothered with this. Like a stonefish, flounder or torpedo ray, foothold traps can be camouflaged to avoid arousing animals’ suspicion, usually by using leaves, grass, bark and so on to conceal parts of the mechanism. Stunfisk’s huge jaws might be able to close over a smaller Pokémon’s entire body, more like a Venus flytrap than a human hunter’s bear trap, at which point Stunfisk can presumably just wriggle back down into the mud and stay there until its unfortunate prey suffocates. The springs of a big foothold trap form very long “arms”, about where Stunfisk’s fins are, but the jaws themselves don’t need to open to more than 40 cm for even the biggest animals, since you’re only trying to grab one leg. Foothold traps come in a range of sizes, depending on what kind of animal you’re after – Stunfisk, whose “jaws” (actually modified fins, according to the Pokédex) open to about 70 cm wide, is pretty hefty even for a bear trap. Bear Trapsīear traps with spring-loaded steel jaws belong to a class of traps called “foothold” or “leghold” traps. So, I guess, let’s talk about bear traps. New Stunfisk… is also still a fish, but in addition to being a fish, is a bear trap. It’s a rich tapestry of derpy fish that all come together to produce one supremely derpy derpfish, is the point. It’s like a flounder or plaice mixed with an electric eel – or like a stonefish, that kills you with horrifically painful venom if you step on it – or like a stargazer, which is a fat ugly fish with eyes on the top of its head that isn’t flat like Stunfisk but does bury itself in sand and can produce electric shocks – or like a torpedo ray, which is flat and lives on the sea floor and can zap you but doesn’t really look like a fish-fish – or like a mudskipper that can survive on land because it can breathe air through its skin. Original recipe Stunfisk’s angle was that it’s a flatfish that hangs out on beaches and mud flats and zaps you if you step on it. But now it’s back with a shiny new Galarian regional form, and I suppose I just have to deal with that. Stunfisk was… a Pokémon I had very mixed feelings about in 2011, then promptly forgot about for most of the next 8 years.
