Vinter Skitty and Delcatty

Name: Vinter Delcatty

Type: Ice/Normal 

Ability:  Cute Charm / Refrigerate

Hidden Ability: Wonder Skin

----------------------------------

A popular pet among the locals, the Vinter Region Skitty and Delcatty are seen in basically every settlement, as they are good at finding and getting rid of small pest Pokemon that may have gotten past the walls. Also despite them being part Ice type, they are actually very affectionate Fakemon and like to cuddle a lot. It's honestly rare to find this Fakemon in the wild these days as most seem to have taken up living in or near human settlements.

- You use an Ice Stone To evolve Vinter Skitty into Vinter Delcatty

Vinter Bruxish and Anglish

Another variant for the Vinter Region, Bruxish and its new evolution Anglish

Name: Vinter Bruxish

Type: Ice/Psychic 

Ability: Dazzling / Illuminate

Hidden Ability:  Wonder Skin

----------------------------------

Name: Anglish (Name Credit goes to SeriesArtiststarter)

Type: Ice/Psychic 

Ability:  Dazzling / Illuminate

Hidden Ability: Wonder Skin

----------------------------------

Vinter Bruxish and Anglish lurk beneath the ice of the Vinter Region frozen sea, this terrifying fish Fakemon isn't just trying to lure other fish Pokemon to their doom but also prey that wander's onto the ice. They are know to pop their head up through already made holes in the ice and try to get the attention of Pokemon or people with rainbow light coming from the bulb-like fin. It's said that it can be very hypnotic along with feeling a strong sense of curiosity to investigate. So Elders and fishermen always warn not to let young children or Pokemon be alone near the ice, other than just regular dangers but with these Bruxish and Anglish about its better not risk it.

-------------------------------

So if your wondering why I turned Bruxish variant into a terrifying fish monster it's because I was inspired by these fish sculptures linked below. Also honestly Bruxish is another Pokemon I don't like the design of and I saw a fun opportunity to give it a variant and evolution and went for it! not to improve the Pokemon but make it more scary.

Another local pest, this fakemon can burrow through the snow and ice easily and tends to try dig their way into food stores, so the locals are always having to double check their hasn't been any break in as their teeth are strong enough to chew through stone and metal.

I inspired by the 'Wooly Mice' and the Schleich Battle Cave Ice Rat figurine.

Snowdude Glaceler and Snowlem

Vinter Region Convergent Pokemon of Geodude, Graveler and Golem -  Snowdude, Glaceler, Snowlem 

Name: Snowdude

Type: Ice

Ability: Slush Rush / Ice Body

Hidden Ability:  Snow Warning

----------------------------------

Name: Glaceler

Type: Ice/Rock

Ability: Slush Rush / Ice Body

Hidden Ability:  Snow Warning

----------------------------------

Name: Snowlem

Type: Ice/Rock 

Ability: Slush Rush / Ice Body

Hidden Ability: Snow Warning

---------------------------

The Vinter Region mountains slopes have many danger's one of which is the their Region Convergent form of Geodude, Graveler and Golem -  Snowdude, Glaceler and Snowlem.

These Fakemon roll down the mountain during the day and climb back up during the night only to repeat the cycle all over again the following day. Researchers are still trying to understand why these Fakemon do this but some believed its to do with foraging for food, others have pointed out the Vinter Region Onyx variant eats Snowdude, Glaceler and Snowlem, so it's also believed that this constant in-motion life is to avoid getting caught by by these Fakemon.

---------------------------

You can blame platform games for this idea. Just something about wanting to dodge giant boulder's in Pokemon game amuses me, especially if it turns out their boulder's are monster that you can battle.
