#088 - Albacant / Whalefarer (albatross + mendicant / whale + wayfarer)
Circumnavigator Pokémon
Normal/Flying-type

Its whole life is spent in the air. It follows a looping course from pole to pole over the surface of the entire world, living off nutrients in the sky. It hatches its eggs while airborne, and the young are able to fly immediately.

Base Stats: (170/60/45/90/45/90) (500)

Ability: Oblivious/Cloud Nine/[Buoyancy](A supernatural force resists gravity; this pokemon cannot be brought down to earth by any means.)

Moveset: Wing Attack, Gust, Round, Boomburst, Hyper Voice, Supersonic, White Ball, Energy Burst, Energy Beam, Cyclone, Tempest, Whirlwind, Wind Blast, Echoed Voice, Flail, Swift, Weather Ball, Disarming Voice, Hurricane, Tailwind, Defog, Mist, Rest, Amnesia

Since it flies all over the world, it is called multiple names depending on the region. Albacant and Whalefarer are two of the most common.

Design Notes: Based on the big, wandering animals of our skies and oceans: baleen whales, whale sharks, albatrosses, etc. and the fantasy of huge floating animals in the atmospheres of gas giant planets.
