Festive Pokemon: Dewpider and Araquanid
Made a Festive Dewpider and Araquanid based on Snowglobes and Snowballs.
Inspired by Subjectively's new video on Festive Pokemon Forms www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKmmtt…
|=========================================
Name: Dewpider
Type: Ice / Bug
Ability: Ice Bubble (Prevents damage from an attack once, the barrier around its head then disappears)
Alternative Ability: Snow Warning (Causes a Hailstorm when sent out)
Signature Move: Icicle Web (Reduces speed of Pokemon by 1 stage, at the end of their next turn, they become Frozen) (Does not work on FIRE type Pokemon)
"After migrating North, The water bubble around Dewpider's head froze solid, creating an icy protective shell around it. In battle, it uses this as a defense, and when it shatters, it counter-attacks with powerful ice attacks and snowstorms."

Name: Araquanid
Type: Ice / Bug
Ability: Ice Bubble (Prevents damage from an attack once, the barrier around its head then disappears)
Alternative Ability: Snow Warning (Causes a Hailstorm when sent out)

"An ambush predator that hides in deep snow, It uses its protective bubble to absorb an enemies attack, before trapping and freezing them solid. Sightings have shown that it is able to take out foes much larger than itself by using this method. Whilst camouflaged in snow, finding an Araquanid is very difficult unless it wants you to."
