when the pokémon uses surf or dive, it will come back with

prey. when it takes damage, it will spit out the prey to attack.

this is one of my favorite designs because of the beautiful colorations. district 4 is known for its access to the coast. it is makes up parts of california, nevada, oregon, washington, and idaho. because of district 4 notoriety for fishing and the water industry, i know i wanted a water dwelling pokémon. and the orca, the state animal of washington, was a perfect fit. for the design i wanted to have the orca pattern shown while also making it look more organic and resemble the shape of broken landmasses surrounded by water. then, i added the rope-like accent to its tail fin to add more to the story while also tying back to the history of fishing. then, i used a trident like accent on the dorsal fin as a slight nod to the trident on empoleon and finnick o'dair's use of a trident during the games. the shiny version resembles more of the murky sandy waters closer to the shore.
