001. Corabelle: the decorative crab pokemon.
Corabelle are known to uproot flora it finds on their travels and plant them on their shells. Scientists have yet to confirm whether this trait is for camouflage or self expression. Bug pokemon find their sweet scent especially alluring. It isn’t uncommon to find Corabelle fidgeting and rearranging their flowers. Name derived from ‘coir’ (fibrous husk of coconuts) and ‘belle’ (beauty). It is equal parts coconut crab and decorator crab.
002. Kindlet: the curious owl pokemon.
Kindlet are inquisitive by nature; trainers shouldn’t be surprised to find them following the trail of any tracks that cross their path. Curiosity has led them to burrow deep into the ground, only to get stuck and cry for help. Unlike Hoothoot, this bird pokemon needs light to access their keen vision- often times setting things on fire to further investigate long past their bedtime. Name derives from ‘kindle’ and ‘owlet’. They are a mix of a great horned owl and a burrowing owl.
003. Starpup: the starry-eyed swimmer pokemon.
Starpups are attention seeking by nature. Trainers shouldn’t be surprised if this pokemon constantly acts out for their attention- as both positive and negative reactions are wanted. Despite these tendencies, Starpups are eager to please and be praised. They do well in contests and battles alike, as judges find them utterly charming. Name derives from ‘star’, ‘pup’ (a baby shark) and the phrase ‘startup’. They are, of course, a shark. While slow on land, their ability makes it so that rain or getting hit by a water type move ups their speed.
