A small parasitic creature known to devour the insides of (rock/ground) mineral-based pokemon and live within the now emptied stone. They can often be found within caves and are considered pests in homes due to swiping small objects or moving things around the house
Evolves at Lv. 40 after using Thief on a rock type 20+ times
Each time it uses thief against a rock/ground type, they swipe a bit of mineral to snack on with aides to their growth. Upon evolution, it grows massively in size and gains a new move - Stone Hoard. Upon reaching max defense it can use Fossil Echo, using up all its defense to take form of a random last stage ground/rock type pokemon for one turn - allowing it to tank one hit and healing the pokemon somewhat
Similar to an Appletun, they have droopy eyes
- Stone Hoard: The user attacks a pokemon and gathers loose stone and hardened fragments onto its body, raising its Defense by one stage
- Fossil Echo: The user sacrifices its hardened body to assume the form of a powerful Rock- or Ground-type Pokémon for the next turn. This restores 30% of the users base health
