Evolves via using Barb Barrage 20 times

Apologies for being a bit late posting this, didn’t get around to getting a queue’d since I’ve had a rough week.
Anyway! Our first bug type vee! Unsure how many there will end up being total, bug is a bit of a toughie. I decided a move like Barb Barrage was a great opportunity to do one since it made me think of stingers.
Design wise, I like how this turned out! I initially had wings but decided they made it a bit too busy. I also tried to make the markings act as both a wasp’s signature stripes while also giving the look of the body being segmented without actually segmenting the body. The shiny was vaguely based off ants!
I will say the evolution method is a bit of a tricky one. There’s technically three different variants of evolution based around the move ‘Barb Barrage’ since Overqwil’s evolution method is slightly different each game, but I admittedly don’t really want to do three different evolutions based on that move. For now, I am thinking of just doing this one and deciding that the other two variants are close enough they don’t need independent ones, BUT if I get other ideas I’ll go for them. Right now they’re low priority.
