#705.5 - After storing up a significant amount of energy during their development from a Goomy, Sliggoo evolve quickly as long as they remain in a damp, rainy area. As a defense mechanism, Sliggoo are able to excrete a sticky liquid that can dissolve anything, keeping predators at bay. As they age, they will begin to produce so much of the liquid that it leaks out of their pores. Mature Sliggoo are able to control the acidity of their slime, rendering it extremely potent or benign, depending on the circumstance. Their eyes develop back into functioning organs, re-granting them sight. Now that they no longer need such acute senses from their horns, they will start to use their back pair of horns to attack.

#704.5H - Just like their modern-day relatives, the Goomy found in ancient Hisui are mild, gentle Pokémon that use their horn-like sensory organs to sense and avoid confrontations with enemies. Found within marshlands and other freshwater environments, their bodies mostly consist of water, along with a slimy membrane that keeps them from drying out in the sun. As these Goomy age, the mucus membrane on their skin reacts with the iron in Hisui’s water, causing a metallic shell to develop around their backside. Over time, the shell will grow so large that fully evolved Hisuian Sliggoo can tuck their entire body into the shelter and roll away from danger.

#705.5H - A more melancholy version of the modern day Kalosian Sliggoo, Hisuian Sliggoo will keep most of their body tucked inside their metallic shell, only letting out their head, neck, and arms to peek outside; ready to roll away at a moment’s notice. The safety and protection of their shell allow Sliggoo to evolve quickly, so long as they remain in the damp environments they thrive in. As they grow into Escargoo, their metallic shell grows with them, keeping up with their developing legs and tail. These Pokémon can control the hardness of their shell at will. Full grown Hisuian Goodra have a clingy disposition and hate to be left alone; they will become angry and give chase if their closest companions leave their side.

Name: Gemra

Debut: Kirby's Return to Dream Land

Gemra is a member of a little club I like a lot: the club of enemies that debuted in Return to Dream Land, and then never appeared again, even in the 3DS games that used the same engine! Plenty of RtDL enemies became regulars, and plenty just never returned. To Dream Land. Or maybe they stayed exactly where they were, and Kirby and friends just didn't go back to those specific areas ever again.

Hello Waddle Doo. Thank you for coming. I don't need to introduce Waddle Doo to Waddle You, because you know and love Waddle Doo already! It is a simple creature. It has one enormous eye. You know what it means when a creature has one enormous eye! Whether it's in a video game or in real life, that creature is going to have the ability to emit harmful energy from its eye. Waddle Doo does it in the form of a Beam, a whip-like series of plasmatic orbs, that is the basis of perhaps the most iconic Copy Ability, the one that most players of Kirby's Adventure likely discovered before any other!

And Beam is a WEIRD ability. Most of the other original Copy Abilities are very basic elemental traits or weapons. Beam is, originally, an ambiguous whip thing made of energy. It actually took until Squeak Squad for it to officially be depicted with any electrical attributes, and until Planet Robobot in 2016 for it to be "confirmed" that the beam is made of electricity! I must confess, I liked it more as an ambiguous energy that can't quiiite be placed, but it's fine as electricity... I guess... don't mind me...

What, besides big ol' eyeballs, is Beam associated with? The answer is, again, Weird! Since Super Star, Beam Kirby has worn the absolutely iconic orange and red jester hat. It's so whimsical and cute! It's one of Kirby's most recognizable hats for sure! And what does it have to do with energy beams? I have not a clue! In Super Star, Kirby swung a crystal-orbbed wand to summon the beams, but in all prior games and every other game before RtDL standardized the wand again, it just came out of his hand.

The wand is cute! I like it! My one problem with it is that in Star Allies, playable Waddle Doo uses it, too... enemy ones still use their eyes, but playable ones stop that entirely! I don't like that! This is the animal that evolved to shoot beams from its eyes, and you're giving it an external beam-shooting tool? Might as well give a gray squirrel a ladder, at that point! Give a flying squirrel a hang glider! Give a marmot a shovel! See how ridiculous Waddle Doo's situation looks when compared to all these hypothetical squirrel tools? Ultimately, I cope by telling myself that Waddle Doo uses the wand as a way to concentrate its beam attacks while now being able to see normally as it does so.

#waddle doo #kirby enemies #kirby #not mario #wait a second. This was not supposed to be a Waddle Doo post! Bring back the angry hat thing!

Okay. Thank you. I explained all that about Beam because the hat and crystal orb are integral to Gemra itself! This is a unique, new (at the time) Beam enemy, made to fill the niche of a flying Beam enemy. And its design is COMPLETELY based on Beam Kirby! One colorful, frilly, pointy, pom-pommed hat, like half of Beam Kirby's hat. A crystal orb beneath it, from whence the energy beams manifest.

This almost feels like... a retcon? A revelation? It feels important. Beam Kirby's outfit looks nothing like Waddle Doo, and everything like Gemra. It's like Gemra was the "original" Beam enemy that the ability's aesthetic derives from, we just never saw it until now. All this time, could Waddle Doo have been a "secondary" ability enemy? A Cairn, a Boxin, a Mookie? One shudders to think...

Tyrogue’s strong competitive spirit helps this Pokemon to continuously train and challenge foes, even if it loses. They get stressed out if they cannot train every day, so Trainers looking to raise this Pokemon must establish a regular training schedule. 

 #236.51 - Tyrogue who have an innate skill and drive for offensive maneuvers gravitate towards kicking moves. They will seek out a master of this style and train under them diligently. As they age, their legs gain spring-like divisions, eventually enabling them to perform powerful, stretchy kicks. Mature Hitmonlee use these springlike legs to bowl over foes with devastating kicks. After battle, it rubs down its legs and loosens the muscles to overcome fatigue.

Named: Tyrogue - Keikeri - Hitmonlee 

#236.52 - Tyrogue who have a gift and passion for defensive maneuvers gravitate towards punching moves. They will frequently train under a boxing master, and are often ceremoniously bestowed a pair of boxing gloves at the completion of their training. Once mature, their punches are launched at such high speed that even a slight graze could cause a burn; however, Hitmonchan need to rest after three minutes of punching.

Named: Tyrogue - Keitsuki - Hitmonchan     [Old Version] 

#236.53 - Tyrogue who don’t have a proclivity towards offensive or defensive skills will instead gravitate towards gymnastics and agility. After mastering handstands, cartwheels, and flips, these Pokemon graduate to spinning on their heads, through which they are able to deliver powerful, graceful kicks at top speed. Once mature, they will be able to travel faster spinning than running, and can even tunnel into the ground like a drill.

Named: Tyrogue - Keimawa - Hitmontop

#688.5 - Binacle are singular creatures that pair up and attach to rocks for protection. Young Binacle pairs often quarrel, leading one to move on and seek a new rock and partner. Alone, a Binacle is highly vulnerable, so they must quickly find a compatible match. Together, paired Binacle work collaboratively to collect and consume seaweed that washes ashore at high tide and fight off beach-dwelling predators. Well-coordinated pairs attract other Binacle, forming colonies led by a single individual who will become the main head of Barbaracle and make all the major decisions for the group. Each Binacle in the colony serves a unique role, acting as watchful eyes, arms, or legs and changing these roles as needed. Barbaracle colonies usually cap at seven members, working and fighting together to defend the group.

Named: Binacle - ? - Barbaracle

#935.51 - Said to have be born from a burnt charcoal, Charcadet have a fiery fighting spirit and will battle opponents stronger than themselves without hesitation. Their firepower increases in temperature as they fight, reaching temperatures of over 1,800°F. As they age, some Charcadet are driven to begin slowly assembling a set of armor from the remains of ancient warriors. Depending on the armor they find and how they assemble it, they may evolve into either Armarouge or Ceruledge. Those who collect armor with psychic energy begin to evolve into Armarouge, channeling the lingering psionic power within as they grow. Fully evolved Armarouge are known for their loyalty and formidable psychic and fire abilities. Trainers can guide their Charcadet to evolve into Armarouge by locating a set of the legendary Auspicious Armor and assisting their Pokémon in implementing the protective plating.

Named: Charcadet - ? - Armarouge

#935.52 - To be added at a later date!
