Low geology interest

ok i’ve said lenticular and noctilucent clouds are my favorites but actually can we add stratocumulus volutus into the mix those ones r gorgus

stratocumulus volutus clouds (also more commonly known as “roll clouds!”) are a rare form of stratocumulus that appear to be slowly horizontally rolling!!! they are incredibly long and pretty. sometimes they bring light rain but overall they are harmless. they appear when there’s a change in pressure or air temperature and usually form along coasts or mountains.

here’s a (genuinely fucking beautiful) photo of a group of them

isn’t that cool?

Cirrus Altaria

My entry for @n0rtist 's awesome Science-inspired variant contest!

I am a massive cloud nerd and I've always wanted to do something like this for a pokemon so this was the perfect opportunity! The fact that some clouds are composed of solid ice is something I also love bringing into attention so hopefully people will be more aware of how cool Cirrus clouds are! The different parts of their body are based on different species of Cirrus too! Cirrocumulus being the main new addition trailing behind the wings, the ribbon-like antennae things being based on Cirrus uncinus, the tail feathers being based on Cirrus fibratus, and a new little scarf based on Cirrus floccus! Which also references Altaria's Mega Evolution!

It's sad removing the Flying type but Ice/Dragon is such a cool type combo so it makes up for it!

As for Abilities they'd have Cloud Nine and Snow Cloak! And they'd be able to learn Aurora Veil! Which I like to think serves as a reference to Cirrostratus and the rainbow halo effect they have when they pass under the sun!

Also I tried at first but I'm sorry Ken Sugimori idk how to do your artstyle
