>>32296768Bebjorn, Vikjorn, and Jarbjorn live in small communities, presided over by a single Jarbjorn, off the northern coastlines, and are very comfortable in cold weather. There will often be multiple of these communities in a single area, and be in competition over resources with one another. These communities are often also home to other species of Pokemon, drawn to one Jarbjorn leader or another for protection.
Bebjorn are in awe of their older counterparts, and train all the time to become like them. However, they are excitable, poor planners, and a little clumsy.
Vikjorn are fiercely competitive and easily slighted, but respectful of those stronger than them. Status in the community is decided by which Vikjorn is most successful in raids of other groups of wild Pokemon or even human towns, which are organised by Jarbjorn. A Vikjorn only evolves when it thinks it is strong enough to challenge the current Jarnbjorn leader to single combat. The loser of that combat leaves, to form their own community.
Jarbjorn are natural leaders and imposing Pokemon. They are calmer than Vikjorn, but still proud, and once their anger is roused they are terrifying. Jarbjorn leaders often meet to organize joint raids and treaties of non-aggression, but remain separate from one another because they cannot bear being under another's command.
COMBAT ROLE: Jarbjorn is a slow and bulky heavy hitting physical attacker, with STAB moves like Earthquake, Meteor Mash, and Iron Head filling out its movepool. It would have an ability that makes it immune/resistant to ice (maybe a renamed Thick Fat?) and Intimidate
