>>48505853My OC Amanita is a bug type specialist, but I feel that it's hard to make them compelling without being too restrictive.
I decided to make her one because she loves to study natural habitats, were invertebrates play a key role, and they're an underdog type, to which she identifies with and they contrast the beauty and cutesy of the grass types that were being imposed on her by her family, other than being super effective against them too.
To round her up I wanted to branch her into invertebrate-looking pokémon, allowing me to give her coverage mons like Goodra and Gastrodon, but for now I haven't gotten her any of those for her canon team.
