Moose
Moose are the largest of all the deer species. Standing up to seven feet at the shoulders and weighing up to 1800 pounds, they have very few natural predators.
Pixscale originated in a dense forest, where it evolved its small wings for escaping predators. Its unique ability to create a smoke screen using a dust-like powder from its scales is said to be a defense mechanism against larger predators, allowing it to make a quick escape.

~ Large ornithischian dinosaur that inhabited Europe during the Early Cretaceous. Iguanodon were bulky herbivorous dinosaurs that had thumb spikes, these spikes would have been used for foraging and fighting off predators.

Among the first of many new mosasaurs to emerge during the Telosian (post-66 mya), the squalisaurs are descendants of Plotosaurus that have become pelagic fusiform predators. Feeding primarily on squid and small fish, they are among the speediest of mosasaurs.

Introducing Insecteon!
It collects pollen from its favorite flowers and shares them with potential mates. The wings are too thin for flight, but it instead uses them to scare away predators. #PokemonScarletViolet

Today's Pokémon is sushi. They pretend to be dead in order to get eaten by predators. Now inside, they can order them to attack in a sort of a Ratatouille-like situation.
