KomalaUnified Minds #185 Pokémon Card

Komala, the Drowsing Pokémon, is a unique Normal-type creature introduced in Generation VII. It is known for its perpetually sleeping state, never waking from the moment it is born. This behavior is attributed to its diet of specific leaves that induce a constant slumber. Komala clings tightly to a log or its Trainer, and if it loses its grip while in a deep sleep, it will thrash about until it finds something to hold onto. Its saliva is said to have medicinal properties, used as a traditional remedy for sleeplessness. In the games, Komala typically has the Comatose ability, preventing it from being affected by any status condition other than sleep, as it is always asleep. It does not evolve into or from any other Pokémon, making it a standalone species. Komala’s distinctive characteristic makes it a memorable Pokémon, often appearing in discussions about unusual Pokémon behaviors and adaptations within the Alola region. Its placid nature and constant slumber offer a stark contrast to many other active and energetic Pokémon.
