'mon for my Palacha region, based on the infamous zebra mussel. They are especially abundant in Palacha thanks to their ability to hypnotize predators away. Groups of Zussile synchronize the waving of their shells, giving them mighty psychic control over other Pokemon.
Supporting Pokemon is the battle gimmick popular in the Palacha region. This allows you to lower your party by 1 Pokemon to "equip" one Pokemon to another. This works like equipping an item, though not counted as such for item-based attacks. Every Pokemon has its own Support Bonuses that they give their paired Pokemon. This comes through the form of additional abilities and stat boosts. These stat boosts give equivalent values to having a stat boosted in battle; Squirtle gives +1 Defense to a supported Pokemon, for instance. These boosts are saved before the fight as a modified base stat. This allows you to continue to stack the normal +6 on top of whatever boosts.
Some Pokemon, like Magneton, take on unique forms when supporting a Pokemon.
