>>52373438And here's Skitty's Pleistocene ancestors, based on saber-toothed cats.
They're fast physical attackers that used to be humanity's natural predator. In their original form, they would've been Dark/Normal-types, but due to the reconstruction process, they're Ice/Dark instead. They distinguish themselves from Weavile as a more well-rounded Moxie sweeper that doubles as a Pursuit trapper.

Its erratic, paranoid disposition makes it a challenging POKéMON to raise. It has trouble playing nice with most other POKéMON, but gets along unusually well with MAGNEMITE.">"It is theorized that this POKéMON was a Dark/Normal-type when it was alive due to its close genetic similarity to SKITTY. However, the reconstruction process has inadvertently altered its genome to adapt to the permafrost where it was found.">Slychodon ("sly" + "psycho" + "smilodon")>Ice/Dark>Abilities: Unnerve / Moxie / Refrigerate [HA]>Stats: 75 HP / 115 ATK / 70 DEF / 85 SPA / 70 SPD / 105 SPE [BST 520]>"Its maxillary canines are spaced at just the right distance to drive themselves into the eye sockets of a human skull. It attacks its prey from behind, so never turn your back on it.">"It hunted in pairs, ambushing its prey as soon as they let their guard down. It was driven to extinction around the same time that prehistoric humans began partnering with ZHURWULF packs."
