Nincada

Nincada appeared in 2002 video game called Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire. Nincada is a Trainee Pokémon. Nincada prefers to stay out of the sun, living underground and feeding on tree roots. When Evolution approaches, it stops moving altogether.

Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Its eyes are black with green iris-like rings inside. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. The claws are used to carve the roots of tree and absorb moisture and nutrients. Nincada builds underground nests at the roots of trees. It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.
