Skuntank's Physical Trait

Quote:Their body is strong and lethe
(From https://www.pokemonpets.com/Player-Pokemon-1831257 )
What does lethe mean? I think it's supposed to be lethal? Big Grin
"Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips." - Proverbs 27:2
"He that loveth pastime, shall be a poor man: and he that loveth wine and oil, shall not be rich." - Proverbs 21:17

No, most likely "lithe".
#3
lithe - thin, bending and moving easily; flexible and graceful.
Word lithe after word strong? Yea, I don't buy that. Big Grin
But strong and lethal is a legit couple, as...
lethal - sufficient to cause death; very harmful or destructive.

A body cannot be lethal. It can be lithe. Also, lithe is much closer to "lethe" both in pronunciation and spelling. Typos are probably not that off the correct one.
And strong complements well with lithe for a body, there's nothing wrong with it.

well when u google it, you get this, the word lethe literally means "oblivion", "forgetfulness", or "concealment".



so yeah, probably type-o Tongue

No body can be deadly. It may be svelte. Lithe and "lethe" are substantially more similar in pronunciation and spelling. Most typos aren't that far from the accurate one.
There is nothing wrong with it if you're strong and have a lithe figure.

The word "lethe" doesn't seem to fit in this context. In Greek mythology, Lethe is one of the five rivers of the underworld, and drinking from it causes forgetfulness. However, in the context of describing a Pokemon, it's possible that the writer may have intended to use "lithe," which means slender and flexible, or as you suggested, "lethal," meaning very harmful or destructive. Without more context or clarification from the original author, it's difficult to say with certainty which word was intended.

Looks like a typo
