Re: #??? - Karamanero

I absolutely love this thing for some reason ♥ I love it's design, it's has the typing I've been wanting the most since Gen 2 and it has Contrary ♥
 
Re: #??? - Karamanero

it floats right? because I'm imagining this thing waddling around trying to grab you with its little tentacles and it doesn't seem very efficient. I guess I like its design though but I already said I probably wouldn't use its pre-evo so same goes for this

Worth noting in this thread that it's pretty certain, given previous leaks that included this Pokemon and it's pre-evolution, that to evolve Inkay, you will have to turn your 3DS upside down when levelling up.
