>>49974803Honestly they should've just made Mantine the evolution for Remoraid, would still have the military armanents theme (revolver>fighter plane) while maintaining a more obvious connection between them. Could've been like a proto Dragapult.
Or if you want to go really crazy you could have Mantine as a third stage to Remoraid and Octillery. 3 Pokemon all based on military arms and completely different aquatic animals.
