Biology

Miltank is a cow-like Pokémon with a pink body. Miltank can only be found as female, often considered the counterpart to the bull-like Pokémon Tauros, which can only be found as males. Miltank produces a product called Moomoo Milk from its udders, of which it can produce up to five gallons a day.

This milk contains high amounts of nutrients, which can heal sickness and injury in both people and Pokémon. When young, drinking Miltank's milk helps people grow strong.

Design & origin

Miltank's name is a portmanteau of "milk" and "tank".
