Pokey
Pokeys are another cameo enemy from the Super Mario Bros games. They made of a maximum of four individual segments with a head in topmost segment. These cactus enemies are found in the Yarna Desert on Koholint Island and in the Samasa Desert on Holodrum. When you attack a Pokey, one of its sections will break off and ricochet around the area before it is destroyed.
Appearances
Link's Awakening
Pokeys made cameo appearance along with several other enemies from the Mario games. Here, they are found in the Yarna Desert. It is best to avoid these enemies if you can, since they move slowly. Starting off with a spin attack, then slicing your sword rapidly at the Pokey is a good method of defeating them.
Oracle of Seasons
Pokeys act the same as they did in Link's Awakening. Here, they are found in the Samasa Desert. If you hitting a Pokey with a Mystery Seed, they will recover destroyed segments of their body.
