Biological characteristics ‹The template that displays this section title has been proposed for deletion.›

Bonsly is a small pot-like creature resembling a bonsai tree. The three green "leaves" on its head are actually rocks like the rest of its body (it is similar to its evolved form Sudowoodo in this respect). On its underside between its legs is a hole that has been suggested to be its waste disposal tract; however, it is more likely that the hole is meant to represent a drainage hole in order to further its illusion (in most flowerpots, there is a hole to drain extra water so mosquitoes can’t breed). Its shiny form has red "leaves" and a yellowish body. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ... Sudowoodo , Usokkie in original Japanese language versions) is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. ...

Bonsly, especially at a very young age, are meek and shy. Many Bonsly cry out loud when upset or frightened (though, normally, this is Fake Tears). However, underneath its exterior lies a rather strong self-defender. In battles, it is known to carry out strong attacks such as Rock Slide while charming the opponent at the same time.

Bonsly also appear to cry continuously, although they are actually regulating the water content in their bodies, much like how crocodiles and other reptiles shed tears to regulate salt content.

Bonsly's small retractable legs do not allow it to run very fast. When Bonsly sleeps, it retracts its legs into its body in order to more closely resemble an inanimate object; in this state, it can wobble easily much like the old fashioned toys "Weebles".
