credits to @UnpopularBeast for the thumbnail design and the redesigns of my "boi"s I'm sorry to have an idea right before you make your 'final' edition of the dex but I realized there was no case for equal stats as soon as I made Aspite and just never acted on it. it could go at 52 (I noticed Beeheyem gets a # but other preexisting mons liek krabby and kricitune dont, so only mons between them would slide) or at the end as a secret/pseudo-legendary/pseudo-mythical mon if you dont want to put it with Aspite This form would be created if the Attack, Defense, and Speed stats are very similar (no one pair differs by more than 4, for example), covering any grey areas between the other 3, like hitmontop does for the tyrouge line First name idea Wyverdo (pronounced like why-vur-dough) = Wyvern (Dragon with combined legs/wings) + Wither (to decay) + Overdo + Komodo (inspiration) Lore (of why it exists, feel free to use parts in dex) (Written as notes/summaries during Rexy's research on Aspites) (I assume they'd do some with the help of the actual researchers): Once, Long long ago, (so I'm told) Aspite had but one evolution. However, food grew scarce, probably when Areazona started to become a desert, and its diet varied. It specialized, until each of its trails were divided up between its potential lifestyles via epigenetic triggers. If none of these "triggers" are set "correctly" (yes, I know, that's vague), then it sort of, tries to do all of them, but also none of them. This is what became of that "one size fits all" evo's genetics, twisted and bent by centuries of only indirect relevancy. It couldnt disappear without affecting the other forms, but it didnt stay the same either. Now it has patchy misshapen scales, a purple wash on all its colors, and toxins galore, only the worst half of which is it immune to. It still functions, just differently than it used to. They *can* occur in the wild, but due to the triggers being so easy to set correctly, its a huge statistical (and evolutionary) anomaly without outside tampering or disease. Should one occur naturally, they seem to act as persistence hunters, not unlike their ground type constrictor branch, except instead slowly following their target around after landing a cheap strike to poison them. Their mobility is slow, and wings too weak for any more than gliding, but theres few ways to escape without outpacing them. That is, if they dont get unlucky and get dizzy from their own venom at the wrong moment. Again, only immune to MOST of them. Poor silly specimen... At least its not weak, though. -Rexy
