Final Submission
This nocturnal Pokemon is known as the spirit of the sands and is found deep within deserts where few Pokemon ever reach. They are known to occasionally help unfortunate people trapped in sandstorms and they are highly valued as companions for traveling on land.
The most unique feature of this Pokemon is its gourd attached to its back. The gourd is able to suck in dangerous materials from the Pokemon and the atmosphere and turn it into a nutritious drink. Using the gourd the Pokemon will be able to travel for weeks in the desert without having to eat or drink a single thing and will rarely ever get ill. The gourd is also able to suck or blow air to create fast flowing swirling currents around the Pokemon by moving the "hose" rapidly in circles. It's unknown whether it's an actual part of the Pokemon's body or a symbiont that was attached at some point in its life.
Other notable features include it's hands for digging and holding objects, its ability to stand on its hind legs for short periods of time, sharp teeth used for chewing on tough vegetation and the occasional unfortunate Pokemon and sharp horns that help protect the Pokemon from attacks from those bigger than itself.
Sleeping and being woken
In addition to being hard to find trainers also have to deal with the Pokemon's foul temper and aggression while trying to capture it. It's easiest to capture it during the day whilest it's sleeping beneath the sand but as those black and red markings imply the trainer better be prepared to deal with a sleepy and very grumpy Pokemon ready to charge. Once the Pokemon has been captured it can take a long time for it to warm up to the trainer but once they become friends with someone it'll be for life.
(Sorry for the lack of support material. The downside of only using MSpaint is that everything you do in it is tedious and can take hours.)
I've tried my best to fit the features of this dark horse design into the likely stat spreads, ability and moves. I've also tried to create something unique without being completely bizarre. My biggest concern was making the Pokemon able to seem like it really is a specialist at stopping status and other secondary effects which became the whole basis for the design. I took my inspiration from all sorts of hoofed animals such as camels, horses, deer and many others mainly using the mental image of a horse or camel carrying supplies. I hope i've created something people will like.
