>>37865709Doesn't live in water; only conjures storms. Originally resided in Tin Tower. Its wind powers are so strong Lugia muffles itself by residing in undersea caverns

>>37865827Malamar is a pun. Inkay's Japanese name, Maiika, can be mai, ika (well, whatever), ma ika (evil/demon squid), or maika (flying squid). Evil/demon is why it is primary Dark. Psychic comes from hypnotizing and manipulating people with lights like Beheeyem. .Malamar's name, Calamanero, also contains ma (demon/evil).

>>37865867This Pokemon could have fit 3 types: electric, ground, and water. Was originally going to be Water/Electric. Type changed to have better type balance in Unova; far too many water-types, and not enough electric.
>>37865884Yes to type. No to evolution. Completely different species and completely different ideas around their design. Luvdisc is romantic love between 2 people. Alomomola is healing and supporting weakened people aka empathy.
