It is shown that Pokemon eat fruit, PokeBlocks or some random eatables.
However, I have never seen a Pokemon being eaten by another Pokemon. Also,
their trainers don't seem to eat meat. As there are only Pokemon in that
world, eating fish would be equivalent to eating a Magikarp or other fish
Pokemon.

question
pokemon
Are Pokemon vegetarians?


In the games you make poke blocks out of berries ground together. Therefore I
believe that they do eat vegetables but if Pokémon can kill each other in the
Manga then surely they can eat each as wild Pokémon but I don't know of any
certain points.

Horray for
[Bulbapedia](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_food#Eating_other_Pok.C3.A9mon)!

The most commonly referenced mention of Pokemon eating other Pokemon is the
entry about Pidgeot.

> "When they hunt, Pidgeot fly on the surface of the water at top speed to
> catch unsuspecting Fish element prey like Magikarp."

It is also referenced in Shipwreck, where Meowth attempted to eat James'
Magikarp.

Farfetch'd also has an entry about how delicious it is.

The general consensus from my research seems to be that, while pokemon are
likely eaten by other pokemon and occasionally humans, it is rarely if ever
portrayed because Pokemon is aimed towards a child audience.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

It should also be noted that [normal animals exist in
pokemon](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Animals_in_the_Pok%C3%A9mon_world).
There are multiple references to them, although they are rare.

> In both Raichu and Gastly's FireRed entries, Indian elephants are mentioned.
>
> In several of Bellsprout's Pokédex entries, Bellsprout is said to prey on
> insects.

> Victreebel is mentioned to use the Sweet Aroma of its honey to lure prey

> Horsea is said to prey on bugs in several of its Pokédex entries. Some

The _Pokemon Alpha Sapphire_ Pokedex entry for
[Wurmple](http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/265.shtml) states:

> Wurmple is targeted by Swellow as prey. This Pokémon will try to resist by
> pointing the spikes on its rear at the attacking predator. It will weaken
> the foe by leaking poison from the spikes.

And the entry in _Pokemon X_ :

> It loves to eat leaves. If it is attacked by a Starly, it will defend itself
> with its spiked rear.

These two entries show us how Wurmple is targeted as prey by Swellow and by
Starly.

While _Pokemon_ is targeted a younger audience and darker subjects like death
are almost always avoided, we can conlude that the pokemon universe is not too
different from our own in that pokemon, like animals, eat other pokemon.

Numerous pokemons are stated as carnivorous, through generations. Some
pokemons even use appearance as tool for hunting, e.g. Victreebel having shape
of trap plant, or Mawile, having cute appearance in front to lure prey, and
large jaws on back to grab it.
