Sweeptite- Dusty Pokémon

Type- Psychic

Ability- Shield Dust/Magic Guard/Own Tempo (Hidden)

Sweeptite are pleasant, cheery Pokémon that love to help out around the house. They derive nutrition from dust they pick up with their fur, so most of the time they’ll crawl around eagerly and clean dust off as many surfaces as they can. They’re adored by people with insomnia because they can release a special powder from their fur that works as a powerful narcotic to help them get to sleep faster.

Ability- Shield Dust/Magic Guard/Own Tempo (Hidden)

Evolves from Sweeptite when exposed to a Moon Stone.

Crawlean- Vacuum Pokémon

Type- Bug

Ability- Shield Dust/Overcoat/Sand Rush (Hidden)

Crawlean are a rare example of filter-feeders outside of the ocean. They are desert-dwellers, creeping across the dunes and sucking up sand and dust. They filter out any edible morsels, and when they’ve reached maximum capacity for filtered sand, they dump out the clean sand and continue on their way. Some beaches release them to keep their shorelines clean for tourists, but damp sand is harder for them to properly filter and can even lead to them choking- they need a very arid environment to thrive.
