>>47858993Shoalo is a mon I'm not sure how to implement lore-wise. Originally I was just going to have it as a stand alone mon, and retcon the Slowpoke lore to be for it instead of Shellder. But I'm kind of leaning towards making it an alt evo for Shellder again, like intended. Regardless, Shoalo's based off of the mythical purple dye of Constantinople! It's strange purple ink induces hallucinations in anyone who takes it in! It's ability, Tyrian Tides, is Gale Wings for Water moves.
And the cut starters are now upgraded to Pseudo-Legendaries! With Tyranitar and Dragonite, there would be a Pseudo for the four elements!
First is the Sun Bears, Cuboom, Kodiash, and Solarctus! Cubooms will propel themselves with tiny explosions, but they grow more mature as they grow older. Solarctus can harness the power of the sun for great feats of destruction, but the few that are known in the wild remain quiet, in the ruins of ancient temples wiht regal majesty. I was unsure how to implement this mon originally, since at first I couldn't think of a typing for it, and there didn't need to be more Mono-fires. However, after realizing it's a sun bear, the idea to make it Fire/Electric was perfect! Gave fire more dual types, and Electric more dual types as well!
Sailoch's are born in northern lakes, and that is the start of their journey. When they evolve, the Selkest head to the oceans, migrating towards the arctic. And finally, Aurorithan, the largest known Pokemon (Wailord didn't make the cut, sorry!) is an incredible beast that flies in the sky! It rides the aurora borealis. It's said that on one night a year, they lay an egg which falls into the ocean and down stream, starting the cycle again.
I liked Aurorithan's design, but I didn't need more Water types, or Water/Dragons, or Water/Ice. But when I realized I could replace Jynx's typing and the idea came to make these fly, and when I realized there were no three stage ice families, it just worked!
