>>48691423After ruminating on possible scenarios, I would have it gain a boosted attack the first time it gets near an enemy pokemon. I originally designed its abilities around shadow tag and being able to access CC easily would give it more independence and therefore make it less swingy based on the situation, more fun to play and easier to balance.
>>48691499Based on its stat profile, it would probably be an Attacker. Based on its design, it would probably like wide sweeping attacks or to mimic the sun by creating fire non-directionally. I do think this game is sorely missing late game two-stage evolutions. It's no fair that cute designs like Vulpix and Dwebble barely get to appear.
