1^st Part

Hey there, TRAINER! You surprised me, much like the Seedot that just fell from that tree over there.
It really scared a Pidgey that was foraging nearby, and I’m pretty sure it did that on purpose.
It’s easy for Seedot to trick people and Pokémon alike because Seedot are almost indistinguishable from acorns.
Are they appearing in higher numbers right now, or am I seeing double? Could you help me investigate this nutty situation?

2^nd Part

Welcome back, TRAINER! While you were away, I was just refreshing my memory on Seedot.
Apparently, it attaches itself to a tree branch using the top of its head and sucks moisture from the tree it’s hanging from. The more water Seedot drinks, the glossier its body becomes.
Thanks, Seedot, for reminding us to stay hydrated! Did you know that Seedot can evolve? AHHH! Sorry, I was just startled by another one.
Why don’t you try evolving Seedot? Maybe it’ll get calmer and stop playing pranks on everyone!

3^rd Part

On the one hand, fantastic work, Trainer. Your little Seedot has evolved into Nuzleaf, the Wily Pokémon. On the other hand, our plan to calm Seedot down by evolving it has backfired.
Apparently, Nuzleaf can make a flute out of the leaf on its head, and the sound of that flute strikes fear and uncertainty into the hearts of people who hear it.
I’m sorry. But I have faith that a brave Trainer like yourself can handle Nuzleaf just fine!
Maybe if we try evolving it again...its next form will be less scary! Personally, I’ve been startled enough for one day of research!

4^th Part

So...your Nuzleaf has evolved into Shiftry, the Wicked Pokémon. Unfortunately, upon reviewing data on Shiftry, I learned it can be quite fearsome, too.
Using its leafy fan, Shiftry can create wind gusts with speeds of up to one hundred feet per second. That’s strong enough to level houses! I think I need to go tie my mobile lab down!
I’d rather be surprised by a Seedot than blown away by a Shiftry! Hah...lesson learned—stay up-to-date with Pokémon, even familiar ones!
Thank you for your help researching this odd occurrence. Once these winds die down, I’ll be in touch about our next research adventure!
