The initial idea started when i saw some whiligigs and thought they looked similar to little tadpoles. Then after making Seedwing, i wanted to make it something that has a symbiotic relationship with a tree without the tree being part of the mon itself.
Seedwing: When it is born, it chooses a whirligig seed to hold on to. Together, they are easily blown away by the wind, sometimes for far distances.
Would get Levitate, dark moves like snarl, tailwind if you don't evolve it for long enough. Evolves when it levels up knowing Dig.
Burrowling: It fiercely protects the sapling that grew from the seed it chose, using it's tail to deflect incoming attacks. It's nervous and distrustful disposion means it never leaves it's burrow, and is always on the lookout.
ON High Alert allows it to gain priority on an attacking move once per battle, on the first turn it's out. This makes it an immediate threat and an powerful revenge mon, but it's slow speed means it will probably then take two attacks before it gets to go again.
Barrowking: It wraps it's lengthy tail around it's tree to protect it, while the treetop acts as a safe space to store it's eggs. Barrowkings will spew bursts of grit at anything that comes near it's tree. It doesn't like falling asleep, usually waking up after a short moment.
I initially wanted to make it a psuedo legendary, with 600 bst. But the ability is so powerful that i think even with the lowered stats it would be at the same level. The unique move is a ground type version of freeze-dry.
Let me know what you think!
