Dolpheon
The Maelstrom Pokemon
Evolves via entering a whirlpool
—
Another strange non-canon one! This one is also based on Pokemon Snap, particularly the part in the River stage where Staryu evolves by flying into a whirlpool.
Decided to just do a kind of cetaceon-esque design. Cause why not! Not really much more to say design wise. I suppose I do think I accidentally took some inspiration from the Maronians from Keroro Gunsou, purely because I think they have really nice designs.
Now you may think it learns Whirlpool upon evolution, but unfortunately that move is taken up by another future one. So, instead it learns Aqua Ring.
Whirlpool is definitely a thing it learns early in it’s movepool, though.
