Fantastic Mon and Where to Find Them

[Clover Frost]

-->--> Level 32 --> Level up while holding a Magmarizer Aron/Lairon/Aggron Steel/Fire Ability(s): Magma Armor, Flame Body, Flash Fire (HA) Gender Ratio: Same as original Egg Group: Same as original Description of coloring/sighting ~ N/A (Sprites are above) Reason for appearance ~ Evidence of this Aron variant’s existence initially came in the form of sightings by trainers venturing in and around the Kasabian Volcano, though recently, similar reports have come in from other areas of Faraday Island, implying some of these Pokemon may have begun immigrating to new habitats within the last few months. It is known that, some time ago, Kasabian Volcano witnessed a notable uptick in the populations of multiple Rock and Steel-type species, with the Aron family being most prominent. Though some of these species struggled to compete in the local environment (particularly in the case of the Steel-types, who often struggled against the native Fire-types), some were nonetheless able to find their niche, feeding upon the ores and minerals deep within the cave system beneath the volcano. As time passed, however, competition grew fiercer as ore veins began to run dry. To compensate for this, a small subset of the Aron family population that struggled to secure the iron needed to maintain their bodies began supplementing their diets with molten magnetite sourced from the volcano itself. Over multiple generations, this subset’s consumption of molten magnetite has increased to the point of becoming a staple of their diets, which has visibly altered their biology to a respectable degree. The consumption of black oxide has caused much of their bodies to take on a bluish tinge, which increases their resistance to rust and corrosion, while their internal body temperatures have increased dramatically. Evidence of the latter can best be seen by their chests, which are now primarily made up of a magma-filled core which is visible while standing upright. Though unconfirmed, it is speculated that this magma, though visible to outside observers, is prevented from escaping these Pokemon’s bodies via a thick layer of heat-proof glass, though how and why this specific anatomical quirk could have developed is unknown. These Pokemon have also been observed heating their digits to the point of glowing, which is thought to be an adaptation that allows them to fight off Steel-type competitors via the application of intense heat. Movepool: Ember (Start), Smokescreen (6), Flame Wheel (12), Rock Smash (14), Will-O-Wisp (16), Bulldoze (18), Hone Claws (24), Fire Punch (28), Lava Plume (32), Earth Power (36), Sunny Day (40), Power Gem (46), Magma Storm (56)

Girafarig Sun Form(right): Psychic/Fairy Moon Form(left): Psychic/Dark Sun Form -> Moon Stone -> Moon Form Moon Form -> Sun Stone -> Sun Form Description of coloring/sighting ~ No need thanks the shula community for input / Leo Lockward for helps with wings Reason for appearance ~ Girafarig has always been a rather uncommon Pokémon, rarely seen in the wild or trained. Despite their rarity, they lived a peaceful existence in their habitats. However, life in the wild is ever-changing, and new dangers, such as the emergence of Shulian Pokémon, began to disrupt their tranquility. Originally Girafarig had a second head-like structure at their tail, and was once an effective defense mechanism against predators. Over time, however, this adaptation became less critical as the nature of threats evolved. As new predators appeared, the Girafarig found themselves becoming easier targets. Their numbers reached an all-time low, forcing them to adapt for survival. To cope with these changes, many Girafarig started feeding during dusk or dawn, using the dim light to blend better with their surroundings. This shift in behavior was accompanied by significant physical changes. They developed stronger defenses and, over generations, the traditional rear tail was replaced by a horn. This adaptation allowed them to fend off predators more effectively, even evolve wings for flight, enabling quick escapes from danger. The Shulian Girafarig now live in small, nomadic groups, often seen in various parts of the Shula. They thrive on a diet of lush grass, fruits, and berries that they find in their new habitat. Their new coloration helps them blend seamlessly with the rocky and forested landscapes, providing camouflage from predators.

Now this investigation sounded like good fun to Godfrey. Who didn't like a good potion? But to hear that there was a potion pokemon?!

Upon visiting the shop in question, Godfrey was able to successfully record this peculiar form of the Sinistea line

A report of steel types climatising within a volcano. Godfrey was not looking forward to the intense heat but these things had to be done!

Godfrey braved the heat and managed to gather Intel on the Aron lines new fire type addition.

The report of a unicorn like Girafarig excited Godfrey. Knowing that they only came out at certain times of day was a downfall, it require being up at the crack of dawn and staying up until nightfall but it was an investigation worth taking!

After numerous early mornings and late nights, Godfrey was able to complete his report on the changes to the Girafarig's form.

FIDOUGH and DACHSBUN

grass type into grass/rock type
gender ration & egg group the same

fidough has honey gather.
most dachsbun forms have well-baked body.
burnt dachsbuns have solid rock.

fidough will evolve into dachsbun after being hit by a fire type move.
... unless it's holding an everstone.

In the weeks after the Crystal Carnage attacks by Team Diamond Crystal, a curious sight was reported: pale fidoughs harassing hives of combees in pursuit of their honey! Since then, rumors have abounded, but the greatest source of information is from disappointed fairy type fanciers and elated canine pokemon fanatics.

Shulian fidoughs and dachsbuns are rougher both to the touch and in demeanor than their Paldean cousins. The combee harassing behavior mentioned above is quite standard for the species. These pokemon aren’t recommended for beginning trainers. Despite their typing, their preferred rivals are bug and fire types! These pups don’t back down from a challenge! Perhaps it’s a compensating adaptation? In Paldea, these pokemon had been protected by humans since ancient times… No such aid could be acquired when Team Diamond Crystal released them and other Paldean species en masse into the wild.

It’s generally concluded that the species “natural” evolutionary forms are the Honeyed and Burnt states, rumor has it that there are a few other items that will result in other coloration. No type differences have been documented between the dachsbun's forms.

It was an exciting day for Godfrey. Not only had these new species of pokemon appeared following the recent Diamond Crystal attacks, but a seemingly altered forme on top of that?! The almost candy like appearance of these pokemon was starting to make Godfrey hungry.

Starting with an investigation and ending with a hunger for something sweet, Godfrey was able to successfully record details of this new form of the Fidough line.

--> @ 24  -->  Species: Wooloo --> Dubwool Type(s): Normal/Fairy --> Fairy/Psychic Ability(s): Fluffy + Pixilate (HA-Fairy Aura) Gender Ratio: Remains the Same Egg Group: Remains the Same Description of coloring/sighting: Not needed, credit for the sprite to Ilargi “Bii” Benigno <3 (It is said wooloo in this form will "glitter" or "sparkle" with different constellations appearing in their fur when well cared for and happy, this being how some trainers/breeders tell them apart. When their "fur" or wool drops off naturally, this can be transferred to the small amounts of fluff, however when shared, this trait is not present. Dubwool seem to lose this trait, instead the same constellations appearing around their horns when in a relaxed or contented state. Its also been said no 2 dubwool have exactly the same shaped horns, though, this has yet to be tested) Reason for appearance: Wooloo is an adaptable pokemon. Its cute and fluffy appeal works for some trainers and the amount of wool it can offer is helpful to farmers, add in a typing which can go just about anywhere and get through anything and you have a pokemon which can travel the world and be settled in herds just about anywhere. The funny thing is, people have always linked sheep and dreaming in a way. Its been said counting sheep can send you to sleep and this is plenty true for wooloo in peoples imaginations, only in Shula, it runs a litter deeper. Shulian wooloo are sensitive creatures who it seems are a little more in tap with the world than their Galarian cousins, though can be much harder to find due to their coloring and their slightly shy natures. They adore helping people and seem to have natural abilities in healing and comforting scared or injured pokemon, while their evolution dubwool are known to be brillant healers outright. Sought out for wool which is supposed to be able to make clothes softer than any other as well as, if the rumors are to be believed, meant to be able to open oneself up to their own feelings and thoughts more, the pokemon are thought to have been much more common before recent times and over farming brought the population down. Dubwool have been seen to use their horns to focus their psychic energy, putting pokemon and trainers alike to sleep for their own defence or sometimes, their own good. This has lead the pokemon to being sought out by some nurses and doctors for this ability, able to put patients under is what is said to be a state like lucid dreaming where they can control the world they dream within. There are a couple well known therapists which also use this tool, the wooloo form of the pokemon able to bring people to talk more openly and honestly without entering the "dream realm" but their evolution taking this even further with training and focus. In their "dream realm" the body is in a state not unlike hypnosis, leading those with the skills and training to be able to use this pokemon to heal mental and emotional wounds, as well as psychical ones. Movepool: Normal Wooloo moveset + (to start + Confusion) Decorate- 6 Fairy Wind - 10 Draining Kiss - 14 Sweet Kiss - 18 Psybeam - 21 Amnesia - 23 Dazzling Gleam - 27  Hypnosis - 29 Play Rough - 31 Cosmic Power - 33 Moonblast - 35 Power Split - 38 Psyshield Bash - 42 Geomancy - 44  Eerie Spell - 46 Guard Split - 48 Zen Headbutt - 50 Evoltuion: Shiny Stone at level 24

After lots of investigating and searching, Godfrey found the fabled wooloo and dubwool! Though, this provided a brand new challenge: keeping himself from getting lost in a haze while watching the fairy types sparkle! Hopefully that won't be an issue for anyone who trains the pokemon...

In a dream come true, Godfrey was able to find, study, and record proof of the existence of this Shulian line.

#000 Electrike & Manectric The Phantasm Pokemon < ---------- > Electrike -- level 30 with max hearts --> Manectric Ghost / Poison < ---------- > Ghost / Poison Gender Ratio: ♂ 50% / ♀ 50% Egg Group: field Height: 3'00" / 5'11" Weight: 40lbs / 80lbs Ability: Cursed Body or Guard Dog Hidden Ability: Corrosion Dex Entry: Many believed that this phantasmal creature was a serious bad omen with its malevolent or menacing presence. Often associated with horrible misfortune or even impending death if anyone was unfortunate enough to see it or talk about it. And if anyone so happened to catch and train one, they were shunned away or casted aside fearing that tradey or death will follow anyone associated. Despite, or maybe, due to this this, shulian variant can be seen hanging out near graveyards or in dark abandoned locations far away from most humans and pokemon alike. They have been reported as extremely aggressive towards strangers of all kind, the type to bite first (maybe even twice) than question later (if you’re luck). When seen, it thought to be seeking out those it feels are in this state. The pokemon is hard to find, hard to catch and even harder to train so working to earn the trust, and more importantly respect, of one of these pokemon is no walk in the graveyard. However, recent discoveries have lead many to change their beliefs on this creature. While their presence are still thought or considered to be ‘bad’, this shulian variant has the ability to sense when someone is unwell, or, there is unease in the air. More specifically, mentally or even terminally ill. It is widely believed this is what lead to the negative connections before, seeing as the pokemon became connected with the concept of the death/illness/unfortunate nature of their trainers through no direct fault of the pokemon directly. Of course, seeing one or even owning one doesn’t mean said person or even pokemon are ill nor impending death. It can just sense it long before it becomes a ‘problem’, often times actually saving them if caught early enough. And once a bond has been formed with one, it's believed that it can reduce illnesses, harden constitutions, or even aid in the trauma of those it has bonded with. This canine is also rumored to help people and pokemon cross to the other side, guiding their loves ones in comfort. However, that's just a theory as of right now and more research is needed.

A pokemon that hung out at graveyards...? That was aggressive...?! THAT BROUGHT DISASTER?! What sort of reports were people turning in!! It took all of Godfrey's bravery (and a brief full closure of the stand to bring along his normal type for back up) but the young researcher took off! One way or another, he was going to get to the bottom of these rumors!! And, hopefully not end up a part of a new one...

A few dicey encounters pass before Godfrey has satisfactory evidence. But, it's plenty enough to prove the existence of this Shulian line.
