Pokedex Match

Learmed this one from woodenplank studios of all places. Gogoat!

 

[SparklingBlue]

@K_S

Yes!

Here is the next one:

It rests its forelegs on others to communicate with rhythmic electric pulses from its claws.

 

[OshaKirb03]

Okay, so I saw rhythm and electricity, and was going to say Toxtricity, but no... the electricity comes from its claws... Zeraora? It's the only one with electric claws I can think of at the moment.

 

[SparklingBlue]

@OshaKirb03

No--it is an Electric type, though.

 

[K_S]

Pawmi

 

[SparklingBlue]

@K_S

No--it is an older generation Electric type.

Electric pokemon are stated to be able to communicate with others so the first part doesn't really help us. But the part about the claws is interesting. We can cross off all the pokemon who don't have claws and then we can also cross off pokemon like Dedenne who use their whiskers/tail. The only likely remaining option is Luxio (Shinx and Luxray's entries state stuff about their x ray eyes or high speed. Luxio would also make the most sense since they're shown multiple times to live in packs while Luxrays seem to live alone. In the manga Pokemon Adventures, Pearl's luxray is literally the only one in the pack and that's literally because it was pushed to its limits.)

Elektikid?

 

[SparklingBlue]

@OmegaDusk @K_S

Luxio is correct!

Here's the next one:

It chews its way through boulders with its sturdy jaws. Its eyes can see in the darkness underground.

 

[CuteBunnyGirl]

Sableye?

 

[K_S]

Steelix

 

[SparklingBlue]

@K_S

Steelix is correct!

Leaderboard coming up after this next one:

The fur on its belly retains heat exceptionally well. People used to make heavy winter clothing from fur shed by this Pokémon.

 

[K_S]

Piloswine

 

[SparklingBlue]

@K_S

No, that's not right--it's a newer Pokemon.

 

[K_S]

I'm sorry it looked floofy enough for it, and i couldnt resist the implied ice age joke.

 

[OmegaDusk]

The first part could signify that the pokemon has different color on the top and bottom or at least that there's a line of differentiation. The entry in general screams Ice type, but you stated it was a newer pokemon instead. So we can cross that type off. What other types might retain heat well? Water (colder waters), normal (most fluffy pokemon are here), and based off the second part, a fire type like growlithe. I'm thinking it's either Greedent or Diggersby, but with all my time playing greedent on pokerogue and generally being a fan, I'm doubting it. Diggersby.

 

[SparklingBlue]

@OmegaDusk

Diggersby was correct!

Leaderboard coming shortly.

 

[SparklingBlue]

The current leaderboard:

K_S-40
OshaKirb03-9
OmegaDusk-9

We may have a runaway winner here...

 

[K_S]

I might be a bit obsessive about memorizong imaginary critter lore.

 

[SparklingBlue]

Let's continue:

This hot-blooded Pokémon is filled with curiosity. When it gets angry or starts fighting, its short mane gets hot.
