I was insanely lucky today.
I had a student come in and... with them was a variant of Roggenrola I hadnt seen since I was completing my internship in a separate region.
I like trying to do basic sketches for all of the wacky and wild variants of Pokémon I encounter but... gotta be honest, im really poor at catching the likeness of my research subjects.
Anyways. For all of your viewing pleasure, id like to introduce you to a Oaxemian Roggenrola! The one I sketched here is named Amethyst, and honestly she's the perfect specimen when it comes to these guys.
The Oaxem region is known for having some crazy biodiversity and wild scenery. These guys in particular can be found in a massive crater in the region said to have been left behind by a legendary Pokémon several millennia ago!!!
They're rock/psychic types, too, which i feel like isn't a super common occurrence. The crystals on their heads emit telekinetic energy, and actually gets used in a lot of the floating technology you see nowadays! Im kinda ashamed I never originally got to study these guys up close, but I may see if this student would be willing to help me out again in the future regarding these guys.
