Back with Part 2 of the midgame cave encounters!
First up is the Bug/Water Pilligrade and Tarliphant. Inspired by tardigrades these hardy Fakemon have good HP and defensive stats alongside the abilities Thick Fat and Immunity, reflecting tardigrade's ability to thrive in harsh environments.
Turpil is a 3-stage evolution investment project with the Psychic/Ground dual type. As it evolves to Mastle and Tursage its Defense and Special Attack grow to impressive levels. It backs up its powerful typing and statline with the thematic Magician and useful Bulletproof.
Finally we find the regions first Dragon type! Inspired by the Whismur family Revyrm and Baswyrm are sound based wyrms with the abilities Punk Rock and Soundproof. Another line where evolution isn't straightforward, as Revyrm has superior Speed but Baswyrm has a monster Special Attack.
Next time, we begin the regions desert area!
