Would you look at that, it's not two in the morning! And there are no birds or Electric-types in sight! Madness.
Tried to mix things up a little with some more mineraloid and humanoid fakes, as opposed to the BIRBS EVERYWHERE of previous updates. Arridian and its evos fit the "standard Rock-type" bill, but the other four are a little more... special, heh. Galavena and Ponderan in particular would probably either be gifts or scripted encounters if I were making a game.
There're a few new moves to go with some of these guys, namely Calcify, Petrify and Rockflow, the last two of which help shore up Rock's woefully shallow special options; I mean, I get why it's a predominantly physical type, it makes perfect sense, but c'mon, these guys and some of their upcoming buddies need something aside from Power Gem and Ancient Power, and surely you can do more with "special rock" than just gemstones! A bit earlier I also ninja'd a new ability, Ravenous, onto Varchani and its evolutions. All of these will be appearing on several other things shortly...
Lastly, I made a few slight tweaks to some Pokémon's places in the AC dex. This doesn't really affect much as far as you lot are concerned—mostly it just gives me some more wiggle room within the unnecessary set of restrictions I've imposed upon myself for this region—but just in case you were wondering why the Larvill line suddenly jumped ~100 places forward in the dex, that's what happened.
