Pistol Shrimps are said to snap their claws with such speed that they make a sound much like a bullet. Sounds like a great priority user to me!

Concept art as drawn by my friend Laura, who also assisted me in the creation of the Ground/Bug trap spider.

I want this one to be part of a line but I want the first stage to pretty much just have a little bit of speed going for it and not much else.

Name: Pipsquimp
Classification: Fistycuffs Pokemon
Type: Water/Fighting
HT: 2'3"
WT: 25 lbs.
Description: (Be descriptive, creative and unusual - example pictures are nice too)
Pokedex Entries:
-Dex A: (I'll hold off on these for now)

-Dex B: (I'm not very good at them)
Ability: Technician
Evolution: Pre-evolution should evolve into it around level 25
Moveset:

Okay for the moveset, I'm thinking a focus on priority moves. Technician and priority abuse will be this guy's thing, but I'm planning on balancing it out with mostly mediocre stat distribution. Decent speed, average attack and defense and pretty much everything else should be mediocre to bad.

Stats: (I'll let us discuss these)
HP (Health Points)
ATK (Attack)
DEF (Defense)
SAT (Special Attack)
SDF (Special Defence)
SPD (Speed)

Habitat: Sea

Locations: UNDER THE SEA~

Well for one thing, I'm pretty sure it's fisticuffs. Also from what I've heard about pistol shrimps I'd think this guy would have a pretty immense Attack stat.

It's all about balance. If he gets a huge attack stat he's sure as hell not gonna end up with Technician, even if his other stats are garbage.

Except that's not how they hunt. They create low-pressure bubbles in their claws and burst them, creating levels of heat that near that of the surface of the sun, as well as a very deadly force and a very loud sound. But no, they don't bludgeon their foes. You're probably thinking of a mantis shrimp, which does indeed do that. Of course, they're both really awesome and the prevo should just split into one for each, with swapped Attack stats (and others, of course).

There's only one type of pistol shrimp that makes cavitation bubbles afaik; however, there's nothing wrong witha pokemon taking inspiration from multiple sources, so this may as well be based on both pistol and mantis shrimps in that respect. But really, it's fine as it is; it's just more material to work with for relatives.

However, looking this up, I was reminded: pistol shrimps often have symbiotic relationships with gobies, small fish. That might be worth working into the design somewhere!
