(Hand drawn at the end)
I chose horses for this line because they naturally represent discipline, strength, and adaptability across history. Horses have been trained for very different battlefield roles, which made them perfect for a split evolution based on how they’re raised rather than what they are. Foaltis begins as a Normal-type symbol of raw potential, then evolves into either Armoryon or Hippanox depending on the version, similar to how Rockruff originally had version-exclusive evolutions in Gen 7.
Armoryon represents endurance and defense, developing natural steel plating through training and conditioning rather than artificial armor, making it a reliable, slow, and resilient warhorse. Hippanox represents speed and aggression, relying on momentum, raw power, and relentless charges instead of heavy protection.
The version split exists to reinforce identity and choice, not power difference. Both evolutions are equally valid but reward different playstyles, mirroring real cavalry roles and giving players a meaningful decision tied to the game version.
What do you guys think? (Also strength and power is intentional as a name)
