Tauros (Japanese: ケンタロス - Kentauros) is the 128th Pokémon in the Pokédex. It is a Normal type, and is known as the Wild Bull Pokémon.

Tauros can have three different abilities, one of those only available through the Dream World, Intimidate, Anger Point, and Sheer Force. Intimidate lowers the opponent's Attack stat by one stage when the user is first brought into battle. Anger Point maxes out Tauros' Attack (+6 Stages) when hit by a critical hit, and Sheer Force boosts moves with positive secondary effects by 1/3 and removes those effects in the process.

Tauros does not evolve into any other Pokémon.

Tauros is in the Ground egg group, and takes 5,120 steps to hatch. It takes Tauros one million Experience Points to reach Level 100.
