Pit pony with coal miner

(Carl Mydans. 1952)

Loosely based around pit ponies, Equartz is something of a spiritual successor to a more equine design that followed that thread. Following the subterranean theme this guy is composed of various crystals and in particular the mineral Fluorspar, which was part of the mining heritage of the North East of England. These crystals serve as the basis for the word flourescent which is very appropriate for this pokemon, given that it uses the crystals to reflect, refract and channel light in various ways as a form of attack. Originally weather focused, i've since toned that down to a few sand related moves and whilst not shown here in its entirety, Equartz has access to a very varied special movepool. Mega Equartz is the premier Sand setter of Bretlan, since only Megas and one weird little guy have weather abilities. I’ve wanted to redo it for a while and today was that day so here it is new and old, for comparisons sake. Equartz are commonly seen in and around caves and mines where they have access to the minerals necessary to fuel the growth of their own impressive crystals. These crystals serve as a potent defence as by reflecting and focusing light they are able to manipulate a range of elemental energies in a poorly understood but very successful form of attack. Equartzs propensity for subterranean environments and the glow of their crystals has made them popular companions for the mining industry. The sand brought forth by this mega pokemon has polished its craggy hide and faceted crystals into something sleek and elegant. Faster on its feet thanks to its reduced weight and capable of the same potent beam attacks as before, a mega Equartz can be a terror in the midst of a sandstorm. Its unusal ring-like tail symbolises its refined aesthetic but seems less effective for focusing light into attacks. --Ability Index-- --Attack Index--
