Vanillite’s Face and Golurk’s Legs
Some Pokemon have design secrets that aren’t revealed right away, such as Darkrai having legs, and it turns out Vanillite and Golurk are two such Pokemon. According to the comics below, Vanillite’s face is actually hidden under a layer of ice and Golurk can fly by retracting its hands and legs and using what appears to be jet propulsion (it’s using it in the Victini movie posters too). The latter explains how Golurk can learn Fly in the games (it’s a Ground/Ghost type but can fly by using fire?). Bangiras has translated the comic strips below; click them for larger images.
