I was only trying to make a compromise for you and Cacapulse, Bonzai...stop hitting me over the head with a bag full of sound logic. *huddles in a corner* (joke)

Articuno's beak makes it some sort of finch, like a sparrow; sparrows are far more common than thrushes. I don't think you're going to sway me with this argument :P And like I said, if it's not a mistle thrush, the whole concept becomes meaningless, an...

An albatross is also associated with bad weather. Mistle could pass for an albatross, due to its conveniently furrowed beak and typical stylizations. However, its name would not correlate as strongly with its basis if it were deemed albatross-based.

Yeah, Cacapulse, the biggest problem facing changing mistle into another, more exotic bird is that bonzai has already drawn the thing. As an artist you know just how annoying it is to change something you created when in your eyes it's practically complet...

<========terrible explainer >_< I wasn't suggesting that the weather-wizard bird become common because it's a thrush, I was suggesting that it shouldn't be a thrush (or at least that kind of thrush) because it's a weather-wizard bird. Usually th...

Without the Mistle Thrush the whole lot falls apart, so yes, I'm sure. It needn't be common just because the real-world parallel are common though. By that logic, mice would be only found in one forest, marsupials only in nature reserves, and meerkats in ...

Took time to read the wiki articl-haha, Turdus... I was a little alarmed when I discovered this is a relatively common bird (classified as "Least Concern" as well), and pretty plain looking to boot. Are you sure this the avian species you want to put a...

They're fine, but I wanted to cover how it learns to summon MORE than weather as it grows - culminating in Summon at level 55.

So the reason was b) it wasn't worth mentioning. I also noticed that you (Bonzai) needed some help with the second Dex Entry and I propose these (>.< I just can't seem to make it sound right. More happier with the second one): “As it matures, it...

Volt Absorb kinda doesn't fit flavor-wise I think, as it currently still exclusive to Electric-types and it suggests the user runs on electricity not unlike Motor Drive. Lightningrod, on the other hand, has long been possessed by two Ground-type families...

Volt Absorb, Motor Drive and Lightningrod make Electric-Type moves useless, but I think Volt Absorb should be used here due to only recovering health compared to raising a stat. Did no one mention Volt Absorb because: a) you forgot the ability? or; b) y...

Flarsable: The metagame isn't my primary concern, but at least no type combination is weaknessless with the PF types. That said, I do want to make this a versatile pokemon that's worth using in battle. Storm Song isn't a Zelda reference, singing to summo...

A competitive reason so as to keep it Magic/Flying: A Water/Flying type with Lightningrod would effectively have no weaknesses because the only one it has (Rock at x2) is covered by its Water type. Add that to the fact that there's a 20% chance of Mistle'...

@Rahjet: I'm pretty attached to the raindrops, but I can see how raindrops plus other water colours would make it seem like a water-type. Maybe I need to go more grey and less blue. @Moppnttef: Sorry yeah I don't know what I was thinking with it not be...
