Love me a hard-boiled private eye. Stat wise I ended up going into a special tank for this one (approx 100 HP and SPDEF) but the ability to juice up your next attack is useful if you can bait the right switch...

🔎 #017 - Twileye
I'd say "guess what its final type will be!" but it feels obvious to me, maybe? Twileye could also probably be it as well. I like to imagine they really like coffee but proooobably shouldn't have it.

Hitting all the tropes with the regional bird coming next! It's a distant relative of Rookidee, hence the similarities, but they evolved into an entirely new species instead of becoming a regional variant.

🐜 #015 - Generant
Final form of our second regional bug! It's more physical than special, so definitely had to make sure its signature move was a physical Electric move. We definitely need some more of that. Not much else to say, though!

Moving up the ranks a bit, aren't we? Here we have our fun middle form electric bug. I don't have a ton to say about these guys beyond "man, how have we only had one ant Pokemon?" There's so many cool potential options.

🐜 #013 - Privant
He's just a little guy! Privant is the quintessential youngster Pokemon of Xalus, they're likely the easiest Pokemon to train given their propensity to follow orders.

Xalus Region Pokemon #12 - Myskadelic, the Malodorous Pokemon. Myskadelic is a final stage stinkbug Pokemon, with a large conical shell shaped line an incense diffuser -- primarily green in color with purple markings similar to the Odd Incense and yellow accents. Its head and legs are dark teal, and instead of antennae, incense sticks come out of its head. It has wild looking yellow spiral eyes, as if it itself is heavily affected by its own incense. It smiles a wide sharp grin of teeth.
Myskadelic's abilities are White Smoke and Lazy Haze. Lazy Haze has a 20% chance to put Pokemon that come in contact with Myskadelic to sleep. It is in the Bug egg group, does not evolve, and its name comes from "mist" and "psychadelic". Its signature move, Dazing Mist, is a Poison type special move with 10 PP, 80 Power, and 90% accuracy. It has a 10% chance to confuse, a 10% chance to cause the opponent to flinch, and a 5% chance to infatuate the target. Myskadelic's smell has grown so strong that even it is not immune to its own effects. They often can be found in the wild holding an incense item, which many think is fermented in the cavity in their shells.

Adding in some Odd/Full incense vibes too on this one. I love how absolutely deranged it looks. Despite a lower BST (420, of course) I think it's got solid potential to just absolutely wreck a team with a host of status effects.

Xalus Region Pokemon #011 - Nymphaze, the Malodorous Pokemon. Nymphaze is a Bug and Poison type. Nymphaze is a stylized stinkbug with incense sticks for antennae that are spewing out incense. Its body is mostly a dark teal, but the shell on its back, which is shaped like an incense diffuser, is colored in green, yellow, and purple -- matching some of the motifs of the Rose and Lax Incense from the Pokemon games. It looks at the camera as if it may be high on its own supply.
Nymphaze's abilities are White Smoke and Lazy Haze. The Lazy Haze ability gives a 20% chance for Pokemon that make contact with Nymphaze to fall asleep. It is in the Bug egg group, evolves at Level 24 into Myskadelic, and is named after the words "nymph" and "haze". Despite their smell, some people and trainers keep Nymphaze around for the express purpose of their scent. When attacked, they let out bursts of gas, though it is unknown whether it is involuntary or purposeful.

If you're thinking "hey, that looks like the Lax and Rose Incense", then you'd be right! There aren't different forms for all of the Incenses, however.
Also--the debut of my first new ability, Lazy Haze! Probably a bit strong but :3

Xalus Region Pokemon #010, Pestink. Pestink, the Odor Pokemon, is a Bug type. It is a small, green, beetle-like pokemon with a dark teal face and upper legs. It resembles a small incense diffuser, especially the ones from the main series Pokemon games and Pokemon Go. Instead of antennae, it has two incense sticks emitting a small amount of gas on its head. Its eyes are wide and yellow, and it has a little opening on its back, also to emit incense.
Pestink has the ability White Smoke, is in the Bug Egg Group, and it evolves into Nymphaze at Level 12. Its name comes from "pest" and "stink". Pestink are annoying since they frequently get into places they should not belong. Their antennae and the opening on their back emit a light stench. Some people enjoy the stench, but many people hate it.

With all this incense in the Pokemon world, well, it has to come from somewhere. That somewhere is a little stinky.

I'm admittedly not a huge football guy, but gridiron is undeniably American, and given that there is a buffalo themed team, well, it had to happen.

Finally, our water starter. Yes, it is a water buffalo. Apparently it's the most popular starter in Xalus, too -- everybody's got a Bisoak (where'd they get them? i don't know!)

🎆 #006 - Aviarkle
Debut of the Light type! I'll be posting the specifics very soon, but I've always liked the idea of extending the type chart to 20 slots.
Aviarkle is a glass cannon, pretty strong but low HP, but that syncs well with its signature move.

I probably went too aggressively American on these... but that's also sort of the point so I'm not really bothered by it.

Fire starter time, the perfect choice if you ever feel like a plastic bag.

🌵 #003 - Saguarado
This town ain't big enough for the two of us... (which is why only one grass starter is available) I've always been confident that out of my starter choices, I'd pick Saguarado. I don't remember where the arm cannon idea came from though.
