okay but what's the average lifecycle of a typical tynamo→eelektross look like? they (at least appear to) start out as tynamo in chargestone cave, but their evolved forms seem absent from the environment. do they migrate as they evolve? what makes them so rare in what seems to be the only place the species is endemic to? where do their different stages fit into the food web? what do they eat as they grow? what eats *them*? would they be cannibalistic? are the young parasitic? are there mons (and a few concerned lost trainers) wandering around with circular wounds but otherwise unharmed, ala lamprey/cookiecutter shark? do eelektrik and eventually eelektross move out towards the ocean or rivers, only rarely returning to breed, or do they sink deeper into the depths of the caves where the water pools deep?

look im pretty sure im at least mildly sick at this point but suddenly this is the worldbuilding i NEED to think about right now immediately

#the only thing so far I've kinda settled with is they likely aren't too big wrt parenting once the eggs are laid*#alternatively considering the state of eel lifecycle information irl until the last like 3 years it could be hilarious #if these were all just hotly debated topics in the pokemon world too. no one knows! sneaky bastards just disappear!#and eventually you find some new tynamo wandering around!#where did they come from!#how did they get here!#no really how did they get in here the door is locked and this is a third story research facility!#/asdfhjkl #answrs writes #vaguely #pokemon #*ALTERNATIVELY alternatively it turns out that they are actually SUPER good parents!#that's why so few of them show up near people. those are the rebel kids that ran away to the circus (surface) little mermaid style #fuckin. entire-ass eel society hidden in the depths of this secretly massive fucking cave system
