-
Once it takes aim at its foe, it makes a headlong charge. It is famous for its violent nature.
-
After heightening its will to fight by whipping itself with its three tails, it charges at full speed.
When it is about to tackle, it whips its body repeatedly with its three long tails.
This Pokémon is not satisfied unless it is rampaging at all times. If there is no opponent for Tauros to battle, it will charge at thick trees and knock them down to calm itself.
-
Historically, people in areas all over the world have ridden Tauros, but the practice is said to have started in Alola.
Although it’s known to be a fierce Pokémon, Tauros in the Alola region are said to possess a measure of calmness.
They live in groups. The one with the longest, thickest, and most-scarred horns is the boss of the herd.
The climate seems to be related to the reason Tauros in Alola are a little calmer than those in other regions.
