Gastic, the spooky gas bug!
For those courageous coaches who brave the Solanum Weald, they’ll be faced with some of the strangest Beasties we know of. It’s a twisted place where you can’t always trust what you see, thanks to the illusory work of this tiny Beastie!
Gastic in inspired by bombardier beetles’ chemical spray ability, although taken to a ridiculous extreme. They’re able to control the shape and density of their gas to manipulate the ball and spike it! Do the other Beasties even realize they’re playing against a bug?
Gastic has one of the most unique traits in the game; Intangible, which makes them completely immune to Body-type attacks. If you hit them with other attack types, they can be quite frail, but their immunity to Body makes them a terrifying counter to many of the sport’s strongest competitors. Combine that with their access to some devious Mind attacks and debilitating status effects and you’ve got yourself a tricky Beastie that can’t be ignored by any coach!
That’s all for now. See you in the next newsletter!
