Here we have the swarms of magnetic storm eaters, magnemite, ton, and zone! To any area with frequent storms they'd be an odd mechanical phenomenon. They make good set dressing, your party enters a town that gets swarms of little automatons riding from the earth every thunderstorm, bending the lightning into spirals. This line has the largest number of resistances in the games but weak to middling HP, which I tried to show. Tough to break through, but if you have fire they just melt. Note they're intelligent however, they will definitely focus on whoever uses fire, or just flee immediately. Now here are some encounter ideas. - A group of wizards is attempting to gather lightning, but their tower is being plagued by swarms of magnemite looking to eat it. The party is asked to hold them off while the experiment is being done! - An gnomish artificer is attempting to create a magneton, and asks the party to gather 3 magnemite for him. Once accomplished, the wizard immediately slams them into a machine that hurtles them into an orbiting angle while shooting out a thunderbolt. It works! You now have one very dizzy and extremely angry magneton, ready to show you it's more than the sum of its parts!...wait that isn't good. - Locals have long watched the magnemite rise to the clouds at dusk, but lately have noticed a distinctly different shape watching right back. Looking out thier window at night to find it above the fields, one glowing red eye boring through the darkness. Never acting, but always watching. The villiage is slowly starting to panic, as nobody knows what it is or what it wants, but nothing they do even phases it...and its retaliation leaves craters where people once stood.

Voltorb and electrode, because every RPG needs a mimic. Voltorb are pokeballs accidentally given intelligence, and electrode are...larger? yeah that's about it. They have pretty low stats outside thier amazing speed, which they make up for by venting most of the energy in thier body in one massive explosion. They apparently love this, for the Hisuian ones it's apparently a result of them laughing. Not much to talk about in combat, then sprint at things while laughing and exploding until one of the two stops moving. Encounters with voltorb are mainly differentiated by setting, not the creatures. - As the party storms the base of the BBEG, they hear the sound of distant explosions. The artificer's lair is quiet. Little do they know, their arrival was far quicker than expected, and in his attempt to get a golem battle-ready he turned its components into a fresh batch of voltorb. Little do they know, some of the metal junk lying around is actually lying in WAIT. - A wicked thunderstorm breaks out as the party descends upon the druid circle's grove. They think they've dodged it by hiding in a cave, a hut, a rope trick. The druids weren't aiming for them, they were aiming for any of the nuts lining thier grove, carved and waiting. Even without the preparation, a nut with two holes drilled by hungry insects isn't exactly hard to find. - A desperate message is sent out of an evocation wizard's tower. Voltorb he's used to, they're annoying but managable. And electrode has appeared on his doorstep, and with it protecting the other voltorb he may soon have an infestation. -You know how Treants have a rock throw ability? You know how voltorb and electrodes like to be near trees since they get struck by lightning? Have an angry treant start throwing hisuian voltorb, maybe an electrode mixed in, watch them panic.
