Mantyke

Though ball-like in shape, this Pokémon is a proficient swimmer. I have discovered that if a Mantyke spends much time with schools of Remoraid, it will eventually achieve evolution.

Often found in gardens, this Pokémon has hairs on its body that it uses to assess its surroundings.

Why this Pokémon

April 1 is day 92 of the year on a leap-year calendar. Divided by 366 that leaves a remainder of 92, and every Pokédex number leaving the same remainder belongs to this date. The lowest of them, No.092, is the one this page leads with.

The straightforward reading — 27 July becomes No. 727 — breaks down in November, where the numbers run past 1025 and leave those birthdays empty. Cycling through 366 keeps every date filled.
