#009 KarmallahProphet Poke'mon
Water/Psychic Types 5'8" 172.3lbs
Poke'dex:
A seer of the seas, Karmallah is often said to come ashore during great times of need when humanity is in crisis. More than most times, Karmallah is a heavily dormant deep sea pokemon, retiring to the quiet underwaters of the most treacherous oceans. It is here that Karmallah is said to obtain enlightenment and focus its Psychic powers to its fullest potential.
When a Psysquid evolves to Karmallah, it becomes a highly talented Water and Psychic type pokemon. Offering a unique combination of abilities, Karmallah excels in a fight as being a pokemon to not underestimate. Although its physical defense is low compared to most third stage evolved pokemon, its Special Defense is nearly skyrocketed when it evolves and its third eye opens with it. It is said that Karmallah can see directly into a trainer's soul, and if it is corrupt it will not follow them or allow itself to be captured. It's special Psychic attacks include "Mind Reader", "Mental Wall", and "Triple Psybeam". Mind Reader combined with Mental Wall, an evasion enhancing shield lasting five turns, makes this pokemon near impossible to hit, and as the shield fades the fully charged Triple Psybeam, taking a turn for each beam, is a guaranteed critical hit. This can spell out trouble for trainers having difficulty taking down Karmallah, and is known in the pokemon training community as the 'punishment' you face if you dont have the skill to go up against this pokemon.
If a trainer is successful however in dealing with Karmallah's mental defenses and built-up attacks, they still have to find a way to swim rather than sink against its natural water type skills. The ominous "Floodwall" will attack an entire field of pokemon, and will affect everyone, ally or foe, on the battlefield taking generous amounts of damage. If this wasn't bad enough, Karmallah learns the powerful "Hurricane Eye", a swirling hurricane which has the specialty of taking multiple turn damage, as Karmallah focuses the water to viciously assault its opponent, closing its third eye.
It is said that a group of Karmallah psychic trainers live underneath Mt. Sunrise, deep at the base of the waterfall where the three rivers of Chubu eminate from. It is deep in the ancient mountain tunnels that lead you to the divine gurus, who focus their powers alongside their Karmallah, channeling the mountain's waters to give life to all of Chubu.

Karmallah really was a piece of cake, I had this one in my head ever since I designed Seaquee as the water starter, and was relieved to finally come up with a design I was happy with.
Drawn from inspiration of the gurus of India and the Hindu gods, I really wanted this pokemon to reflect a spiritualist nature and a heavy reliance between nature and man, as the Indians see elephants as holy, I wanted this type of attitude to reflect Karmallah's role in the Chubu region.

Karmallah evolves from Psysquid at level 38.

Yes, I got the idea for the chain from the Diamond/Pearl prank. Purplekecleon made these false starters that were Fighting, Psychic and Dark types. So I thought it would be cool ot make starters that incorporate that.
Normally, the fire starter would have the advantage over a Grass starter. But if the Fire starter is also a dark type, and the grass starter is also a fighting type, they're evenly matched because each have moves that are super-effective against the other! ^_^
