[@animorph17]

At least the Mawile only slobbered on him until he passed out. Little thing could have swallowed. Canonically they are one of the few pokemon species who won't turn up their nose at the chance to eat a human. Right up there with Gyrados and Victorybell

[@Subreon]

Not canon. Don't know where you heard stuff like that lol. Also pokemon don't actually eat each other. They just drain the magic energy for their own power gain. That's what gaining experience is. and what fainting is. They gotta recharge their magic. For actual food, they eat berries. Every pokemon has a favorite berry. Pokemon food pellets like in the anime are just mass produced mini poke puffs with different berry flavor profiles for each bag. You can even see the various colored labels for these flavors on shelves at poke marts.

[@animorph17]

@@Subreon In the manga, we see them eating each other complete with blood and gore. In the games, we are told that they eat each other, but it's the games so of course a one-sentence blurb is all we have to go off. In the anime, we are shown that they will eat each other, but only when there's no other food available. Heck, in a RECENT episode Goh's new squirrel pokemon stole all the berries, so his other pokemon organized into gang wars over who was going to be food. Watch closely with how Ash reacts to goh's birds flying over his wurmple. And how Ash says this is a concern, when them doing regular battles was not. Literally EVERY CANNON says that pokemon eat each other. The battle experience you're talking about is how pokemon get stronger, but they do still need actual food. Oh, bonus points? The area that has no berries at all, is also the region where everything is a poison type.

[@Leet-iz2fz]

I'm pretty sure the jaws on the back of Mawile's head aren't an actual mouth, just modified horns, so it couldn't use them to eat a person. Chewing them to pieces and then eating that with the front-mouth *is* an option, though.

[@animorph17]

@@Leet-iz2fz According to the dex, they use their real mouth to eat things they enjoy the taste of, and use their secondary mouth (a set of modified horns) to eat things they don't want to taste. This would not be the case if the false mouth was only for chewing, and then they still had to transfer it back to their primary mouth and be forced to taste it regardless. According to the anime? Those horns have teeth, a tongue, and can swallow, with the food forming a visible bulge in that little black bit of "hair" as the meal slides down into the back of their head. That's the games and the anime. Wanna know what the manga says? The manga where pokemon/human fusions are a thing and Moltzapticuno is a plot point? Pokemon are WEIRD. Expecting them to not be weird is a fools errand, which only people who don't actually watch the damned show can pull off enough ignorance to avoid this realization.
