Your birthday Pokémon

Staryu

No.120 · Star Shape Pokémon

Water

Fish Pokémon nibble at it, but Staryu isn’t bothered. Its body regenerates quickly, even if part of it is completely torn off.

Also this date

Regigigas

No.486 · Colossal PokémonLegendary Pokémon

Normal

According to legend, Regigigas pulled landmasses together and bound them with rope to create the continent of Hisui. Though I have my doubts, the story could well contain a shred of truth.

Clobbopus

No.852 · Tantrum Pokémon

Fighting

Its tentacles tear off easily, but it isn’t alarmed when that happens—it knows they’ll grow back. It’s about as smart as a three-year-old.

Why this Pokémon

April 29 is day 120 of the year on a leap-year calendar. Divided by 366 that leaves a remainder of 120, and every Pokédex number leaving the same remainder belongs to this date. The lowest of them, No.120, 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.
