Miltank is a bipedal,bovinePokémon, which can only be female. Its body is mostly pink, with a yellow belly and black, angular markings along its back. A black hood-like marking surrounds its face with a pink, triangular mark on its forehead. There are two small horns on top of its head. It has large, blue eyes, a black nose, and a wide mouth, as well as long, black, floppy ears with yellow insides. Miltank has a yellow udder with four pink teats.

In every generation except forGenerations VI,VII andIX,Milk Drink is thesignature move of Miltank. Prior to Generation VI, Miltank was the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Milk Drink. The milk that it produces is sweet and very nutritious, and can be used toheal Pokémon and ill or weary humans. Drinking a large amount of Miltank's milk will cause the Pokémon or person to gain weight and develop stomach pains. The taste and nutrition of its milk improves with the quality of the pastures it lives in, and the taste itself changes with the season. It can produce over five gallons of milk per day, which in turn can be turned into yogurt or enjoyed unchanged by children and adults alike. Miltank can become ill if it is not milked every day. Miltank lives ingrasslands, and is also raised on farms. Miltank has been supporting the lives of people and other Pokémon since ancient times with its ability to produce milk.
Miltank acts as the milklady ofLively Town inPokémon Super Mystery Dungeon and can often be found making her rounds in the city. After the story is cleared, she can be connected with the player and will be usable. It is also revealed that she has hired bothKrookodile andKrokorok though the two often slack off during work.
