I’m doing @pokemon-smoky‘s 30-day #monmash challenge
Day 6: Your favourite animal + your favourite type - my horrible fat cat plus fire.
This is another reworking of two old pokémon from PF. Smoal wanted to feel like a happy warm cat, and the idea of the hearth as the heart of the home. I could have sworn that chinese lion-shaped braziers were a thing, but despite me apparently having dreamt it, i think it works.
Smoal
The Hearth Pokémon
Fire/Rock
Smoal are very lazy, and mostly like to sleep inside fireplaces. As they are constantly smouldering, humans would often invite them inside rather than trying to start a fire. However, Smoal that feel safe sometimes sleep on their backs - occasionally causing them to roll out of the hearth and set fire to the rug.
Move flavour: Ember, Scratch, Bite, Shadow Sneak, Fury Attack, Smokescreen, Harden
Brashizi
The Fierce Guard Pokémon
Fire/Steel
Brashizi fiercely defend their homes and families, with mothers being the most dangerous. Mountain temples would use them as guards, and a source of warmth high in the mountains. Hikers have learned that untamed Brashizi encountered in the mountains can be pacified with a meal of coal; their bodies appear to be hollow, judging by the noise as they swallow.
Move flavour: Iron Defense, Incinerate, Fire Fang, Inferno, Roar, Glare, Rage, Smog, Heavy Slam, Iron Head
