>>36661815Excellent concept
>do they imitate bugs so it appears harmless to the rock types they hunt?>to confuse bug types and avoid being hunted by them?>to confuse bug types into pollinating them?Could be any of the 3, since all of these uses of mimicry are found in nature. Predators imitating prey and vice versa is really common, and then an example of the third case can be found in some orchid species.
Lurantis is basically a reversed orchid mantis.
Loved the idea, and then I got disappointed by how much of a shitmon it actually is, and I haven't given it much thought since.
Same thing happened with the Vic Viper bug. Not even a competitivefag, but disappointing viability can really kill a mon for me, and this is coming from someone who likes to carry NFEs in his runs.
