Last of my Fossils to receive a touch-up, charting the evolution of ancient whales. Pakkur still doesn’t look great, and might look worse actually but the other two have really benefitted from a revisit. I like old Zeuglong’s longer body but overall I think the change has done it good. It’s got a killer shiny now, too. Despite a resemblance to the many species of dog pokemon, Pakkur are in fact more closely related to Spoink. This becomes more obvious when looking at their feet, which sport hooves and allow Pakkur to travel faster on land than its adult counterparts. Nevertheless, Pakkur are competent swimmers with superb underwater hearing, which they uses to locate prey both above and below the waterline. Ambulurk are lazy pokemon that prefer to let prey come to them. Strong jaws and quick reactions are all it needs to catch hapless prey; bursting forward with a flick of its powerful tail. Away from rivers and lakes in open water an Ambulurk will tend towards a more active lifestyle where they have to pursue fish, good practice before migrating out to sea to evolve. They make this journey as their freshwater homes would leave space at a premium once they evolve further. These enormous pokemon often spend their entire life at sea though short, sturdy legs can still carry them across land. Active hunters they attack anything smaller than themselves (which is pretty much everything) and may even attempt to hunt Wailord provided their pod isn't too large. When their fossil of Zeuglong were first discovered they were thought to be the bones of a gigantic sea dragon and scientists were surprised to see a small dog-like pokemon upon resurrecting them. --Ability Index-- --Attack Index--
