Generation VII4 entries
Sun

Its belief that it will be able to fly one day is apparently the influence of information carried in its genes.

Ultra Sun

Whenever it sees bird Pokémon flying through the sky, it becomes envious and smashes its surroundings to bits with headbutts.

Some theories suggest that its behavior of forcefully bashing its head into things stimulates cells that affect its evolution.
