Piriette, the Balance Pokemon Piriette is the Messenger of Kings, a small Pokemon that balances the movements of the legendaries of Manaka. Piriette attempts a delicate dance of keeping the conflicting powers from coming to blows, but cannot do so with brute force. Piriette's comets can be seen streaking across the sky, traveling to or from Piriette and the powerful Pokemon it deals with. It's said wishing upon them can add your wish into Piriette's magic.
Types: Ground/Flying Ability: Harmony — Piriette's non-HP stats are boosted by 10% for each other stat they have that's the same value. Signature Move: Return to Roots | Flying | Special | Piriette deals damage to a foe or heals an ally, then resets that Pokemon's condition to its initial state. [leaving HP, but resetting status conditions, stat changes, and effects such as Perish Song, Skill Swap, and Disable. Does not reset field effects such as Reflect and Stealth Rocks.]
Piriette completes the trio with Virimite and Dirigen, as is common with trios acting as the balancing arm between the two more hostile elements. Unlike most of those, Piriette does not do that by being more physically powerful, allowing its balance to become disrupted despite its best efforts.
Design wise, one thing that you see tying trios together pretty often is patterning, and its something I tried with these three but think I undersold as part of the doodle-a-day limitations. My intent was to have the zigzag diamond pattern come across like an old woven rug in Virimite's coat, sharp machined scales on Dirigen, and symmetric feathers on Piriette's wings. I think there's a way to make those look pretty nice, but I just didn't really do it justice this time.
