Vulpix, Sandshrew, Vanilite, Sneasel, Snorunt, and Castform.
Eventually I'll have them all on my team, but I still need to do it one at a time. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast after all. Ok; breakdown the pro and cons.
Castform- The Weather Pokémon.
Pro- makes for a great coverage Pokémon for my planned team.
- as a weather manipulator, it can help train my team in manipulation of energy.
- can definitely handle the high end battles because it naturally learns Hydro Pump, Fire Blast, Hurricane, and Blizzard.
- Weather Ball.
Cons- as an artificial Pokémon, its freaking expensive. only researchers or Ace trainers can afford to get them.
- good luck pulling one away from a lab or weather observatory.
- If I want one as a starter, I'll likely have to work as a research assistant for years.
- cant find anything on how to care for one, though I'd probably get that while working at a lab or on purchase.
- does not evolve.
Sandshrew- Mouse Pokémon.
Pro- Its a variant of the Kanto Sandshrew, that's interesting.
- Secondary type Steel, makes them tougher with 8 resists.
- They are the fastest thing in the snow or under it after evolving.
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
- It evolves.
Cons- its a 2ft tall 88 pound mouse. Feeding one will definitely be expensive.
- Double weakness to Fighting and Fire. Not really an issue now, but it will be when I leave the mountain.
- It learns Nothing naturally except what its born with. Every move will take longer to learn.
-It will only evolve on the mountain, not really a con, as I plan to stay until its safe to leave.
- Lives in burrows. will make it hard to find.
Sneasel- Sharp Claw Pokémon
Pro- Its a hunter feeding one will probably be easy.
- Sharp claws will make carrying a pocket-knife a thing of the past.
- Expert Sneak/thief
- Evolves.
- Secondary Dark typing gives it an immunity to Psychic.
Con- Its natural food is Vulpix and Sandshrew. Getting one first might ruin my chances with both.
- They hunt in packs.
- I might be automatically blamed by egg breeders and cops just for having one by reputation.
- Apparently associated with divorce. having one as a starter could ruin some relationships later, if I ever live long enough to have one.
- Finding one will be a problem. I'm more likely to be killed than catch one.
-secondary typing gives 2 more weaknesses and a double to fighting.
Snorunt- Snow Hat Pokémon
Pro- It eats Ice. Feeding should be no problem. more research needed.
- Weather Ball, surprisingly.
- they grow fast.
- 2 different evolutions.
- mega evolution??? more research needed.
- made from Snorunt fur is the warmest winter material. Getting one will be necessary for an Ice specialist.
- Snorunt are probably the friendliest one on this list.
- Glalie are the Original Animators (contests?)
Cons- the eating ice thing can cause problems with the Vanilite line as Glalie love to eat them. Research needed.
- they live in villages. will need permission to have one.
- Shiny Stones are rare. (Frostlass)
Vanilite- Fresh Snow Pokémon
Pro- they are pure Ice type energy.
- they get stronger with mastery of said energy.
- they drink pure water and turn it into ice to grow.
- 2 evolutions
- Can make Nevemelt Ice when strong enough. keep Glalie fed?
- Naturally learns Sheer Cold.
Cons- Weather Ball by teaching.
- Cannot leave the mountain until it is strong enough to make Nevermelt Ice.
Vulpix- Fox Pokémon "Keokeo"?
Pro- Seems to be treated as royalty on the mountain.
-Another 'Kanto' Pokémon
- Evolves into a true dragon slayer.
Con- they prefer to be left alone.
- they eat their meat frozen.
- they travel in skulks led by a Ninetales.
- Weather Ball by teaching.
- Hunted by Sneasel. Have to get one before I get a Sneasel. Should evolve it first as well.
- picks up a double weakness to Steel.
What would you pick?
