I suspect this Pokémon to be the true identity of a dragon written of in ancient texts, which claimed that it razed an entire village with white-hot beams from its maw.

No.496 · Grass Snake Pokémon

When it gets dirty, its leaves can’t be used in photosynthesis, so it always keeps itself clean.

Why this Pokémon

May 9 is day 130 of the year on a leap-year calendar. Divided by 366 that leaves a remainder of 130, and every Pokédex number leaving the same remainder belongs to this date. The lowest of them, No.130, is the one this page leads with.

The straightforward reading — 27 July becomes No. 727 — breaks down in November, where the numbers run past 1025 and leave those birthdays empty. Cycling through 366 keeps every date filled.
