Privant & Swarmada, army ant Pokemon designed for a contest I entered recently 🪖🐜 Privant, the Soldier Pokemon These hardy Pokemon work well in team structures, and are always found in platoons scouring the jungle floors or the vast caves. Privants use their antennae to sense if others of their species are from the same colony. If a Privant is alone, it will wander aimlessly until it finds another group, desperate for companionship. Swarmwada, the Army Pokemon Now a unified swarm of hundreds of Privant, Swarmada is controlled by a central "brain" in the form of a captain, designated by a reflective chevron that grows on its forehead. It is highly skilled at commanding the Privant that compose its body, incorporating them into unique structures to deal with any situation. During particularly bad years, Swarmada battalions can coat an entire ecosystem in their fights against each other for territory. Based off of the army + army ants & the cool formations they do to survive water/reach high areas etc
