This is sort of a recent idea I've been trying to work on with my Feral Twilight story, since it's supposed to be the guardian of an ancient temple in my fake region of Ronac. The general concept is sort of related to Thanksgiving, in the sense that the people who created the statue that later became this Pokemon did it in reverence to their tribal deities.
The other Fakemon I was going to submit is a little too obscure for Thanksgiving, since he's really just a general huntsman more than a Native American tribesman like I wanted to portray him as. Actually, he may be better suited for Valentines Day, since his female counterpart is a type of siren.
In any case, here's Miroc!
Miroc
- Types: Rock and Flying
- Name’s Origin: Miroc is derived from the words “miracle” and “roc.” The general idea in its design is that this legendary bird started life as a statue made in reverence to the Dallinos tribe’s gods one year after a bountiful harvest. Shortly afterwards, it suddenly came to life and served as the protector of the clan for a number of years before the creature’s mystical power source died, leaving it in a comatose state for centuries to follow until an archeologist discovered the being in ancient ruins and found a way to power Miroc’s internal mechanisms again with modern day technology.
- Classification: Guardian Pokémon
- Height: 26’ 9”
- Weight: 3,565 lbs
- Gender Ratio: 50% Male/50% Female
- Egg Groups: Flying/Mineral
- Base Stats: Health-high, Attack-moderately high, Defense-very high, Special Attack-moderately high, Special Defense-very high, Speed-moderately high
- Abilities: 1.) Avian Force-Miroc’s Flying-type attacks cause double damage if they strike a Pokémon that would otherwise be resistant to that attack type.
2.) Grounded-Electric-type attacks cannot harm Miroc so long as it doesn’t know the move Fly or Sky Drop. However, it becomes susceptible to Ground-type attacks instead.
- Limestone Pokédex Entry: Recently discovered in ancient ruins near Marble Town, Miroc is believed to be a relic built by the Dallinos civilization that once lived in the eastern woodlands of Ronac. Hieroglyphs in the temple depicted that the avian statue came to life after the tribe constructed it in thanks to the gods for a bountiful harvest.
- Slate Pokédex Entry: When it was first discovered, Miroc had been inert for several centuries after the mystical power source that once granted it life inevitably ran out of fuel to sustain it any longer. Scientists managed to revive the machine by integrating modern technology into its ancient mechanisms, but it soon fled the laboratory where it was being kept.
- Coal Pokédex Entry: This automaton was once built by the ancient Dallinos civilization, a tribal culture which was renowned for their many advancements in agricultural, medicinal, and architectural ingenuity. They fashioned Miroc in the likeness of one of their deities, who in turn granted it a magical sphere that gave it life so it could serve at the clan’s protector.
- Appearances: In Limestone, Slate, and Coal, Miroc appears in the final chamber of the Forest Ruins near Marble Town. It will be at Level 15 the first time it’s encountered, and making it faint will not make it disappear forever. Instead, it will return continuously but be five levels stronger each time it’s fought. Its capture rate is exceedingly low, however.
- Perception: Miroc sees ultraviolet light and the blue end of the visible light spectrum. It can also detect things through extrasensory perception.
