The State of Lyndom's Roads…

Dex Entries:

Whamma, the Sledgehammer Pokémon. Whamma develops the strength in its hammer-like head by smashing it into things. Its head hasn't completely hardened, so it often cries after these bouts of destruction.

Parasledge, the Sledgehammer Pokémon; evolves from Whamma at Lv 25. Parasledge eat asphalt and use both the hammers on their heads and tails to break it apart. It is seen as a local pest due to the destruction it inflicts upon roads.

Wreckaton, the Wrecking Ball Pokémon; evolves from Parasledge at Lv 50. Wreckaton are often employed on road crews due to their appetite for asphalt and concrete. Due to their large size and imposing presence, they make a perfect roadblock or guard at construction sites.

Origins:

This line of fakemon are one of my favorites I've made for my New England-based Lyndom Region. Connecticut and Massachusetts roads are notoriously horrible and riddled with potholes, and so I wanted to create a fakemon to embody this fact of life in New England. Whamma and Parasledge are based on Parasaurolophus and sledgehammers, and Wreckaton is an Ankylosaurus with a wrecking ball tail. I based their colors and patterns on pavement lines on roads. Wreckaton is also meant to somewhat resemble a construction vehicle.
