Somewhat inspired by real life black widows. I thought it was a neat concept, what do y’all think? Dex entries + abilities below!
🕷️ 💀 💜

———

TOXETTE, The Toxic Tyke Pokemon:
Toxette appear harmless at first glance, but their playful curiosity often leaves foes weakened by venom. Many trainers underestimate them—only once.

ABILITY: INFILTRATOR
This Pokémon bypasses the opposing Pokémon’s barriers, allowing its moves to ignore the effects of Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, and Substitute.

———

VENODAME, The Malicious Madame Pokemon:
Venodame rule their territory with calm, calculated cruelty. Rather than striking outright, they lull prey into a false sense of security before delivering venom with deliberate precision.

ABILITY: MALICIOUS MIASMA
When a poisoned or badly poisoned opposing Pokémon switches out, the Pokémon switching in becomes poisoned.

I always thought spritzee fit the plague doctor vibe more than aromatisse represented, so I made a poison/fairy evolution called Miasmatisse!

Thoughts? 💕

Regional Spritzee, The Soothing Pokemon:
The fragrant pollen they carry has mild antiseptic properties, and they often hover near injured Pokémon. They flutter quietly at their side, as if trying their best to help.

ABILITY: ANTISEPTIC AURA
While this Pokémon is on the field, its allies cannot be poisoned. If an ally would become poisoned, it instead restores 1/16 of its maximum HP.

Miasmatisse, The Miasma Pokemon:
Miasmatisse releases a controlled miasma that dulls pain and suppresses infection. It moves through contaminated areas with calm precision, examining the sick with its staff.

ABILITY: VIRULENT VEIL:
When this Pokémon enters battle, opposing Pokémon have a 30% chance to become poisoned.

/ Edit: / Ok, apparently it has been lost on someone that spritzee’s herbal sprig is meant to look like a pinned brooch or corsage meant to be tucked into the plumage. He was never meant to be “holding” a decorative element.
