Description

Because it lived almost entirely underground, it is nearly blind. It uses its antennae instead.

It can sometimes live underground for more than 10 years. It absorbs nutrients from the roots of trees.

It grows underground, sensing its surroundings using antennae instead of its virtually blind eyes.

It makes its nest at the roots of a mighty tree. Using its whiskerlike antennae, it probes its surroundings in the pitch-black darkness of soil.

Nincada lives underground for many years in complete darkness. This Pokémon absorbs nutrients from the roots of trees. It stays motionless as it waits for evolution.
