Description: lando-t lite lol. Movepool obviously suggested a Ghost/Rock type, but we already have a physically powerful Rock-type in Paleocust, so I decided against that, and yeah after that I just said "FUCK IT WE LANDO-T-ING." It doesn't have the exact iconic type of it, and it isn't physically defensive, but it is still pretty powerful: Hazard setting in Stone Axe, pivoting in Parting Shot, and just some other good moves it really likes to use, ESPECIALLY with it having Comatose as an ability which means it can't be prone to status conditions. Poison Touch could have a niche somewhere and Frisk might have one as well but Comatose is outright the best ability on this mon. Doesn't have recovery though which can be an issue.
Name: Calamander (Calamari + Salamander)
Type:
Viable Abilities: Rising Sun, Rough Skin
Flavor Abilities: Own Tempo
Stats: 80 / 90 / 110 / 90 / 110 / 110 (BST: 590)
Viable Moves: Morning Sun, Flamethrower, Earthquake, Taunt, Flip Turn, Surf, Earth Power, Ice Beam
Flavor Moves: later
Custom Elements: Rising Sun - This Pokemon’s Attack is raised by 1 when using a special move, and vice versa.
Description: Honestly this was a pretty good pairing for my submission, had a lot of fun working around the unique ability of Rising Sun. The coverage and moves like Taunt and Morning Sun being fit in there made it a challenge to figure out the stats and typing of what I wanted to do with this, but I ended up with this...somehow pretty similar to what anaconja made except bulkier and faster. This can either function as a fast Taunt pivot due to its reliable recovery in Morning Sun and Rough Skin + its bulk or it can be a snowballer thanks to Rising Sun and the coverage it has. Like ana said, you do start off pretty weak if you do decide to go for the attacker route though.
