This is a route just outside the first city(working on drawing out a map so it makes sense) but this is pre victory road to the elite four, inspired by kantos.
Based on slots and vaults.
Gimmighoul: It carefully controls when it pays out, luring victims into repeated plays. Those who linger too long often leave with nothing, unaware the Pokémon itself has taken their fortune.
Based on slot machines and greed, just a fun regional evo.
Gamblingo: Gamblingo draws in crowds with flashing lights and endless jackpots. It absorbs coins endlessly, growing heavier and more powerful with each coin it takes.
Based on Mudskippers, guards its territory fiercely, its spines are mistaken for crystals that form in nearby caves.
Pludd: Pludd buries itself in soft mud, leaving only the tips of its blue spines exposed. It fiercely guards even the smallest puddle, snapping at anything that comes too close.
Based on both mudskippers and axolotls, forms pillars that act as markers of their territory.
Bogolotl: Bogolotl expands its territory by shaping mud into raised mounds. The glowing spines on its back warn intruders to stay away from its carefully claimed marsh.
Based on axolotls, mudskippers and kings, they now own large expanses of muddy/marsh like territories, even viewing others that live in it as their servants
