Audino
Normal
1 male/1 female
Mega Audino
Normal/Fairy
Field medics with a bit more combat potential than Chansey.
Description
Audino is a plump critter that walks on two short legs, has dexterous paws on their arms, and is notable for its large ears with hanging feelers that can diagnose the medical status of anything it touches. Its belly fur is cream and the rest of its fur is pink. They are half as tall as a human. It can diagnose and treat issues ranging from status ailments to actual diseases given a bit of time, acting as a skilled Healer. Some have stronger self-healing and end up with full blown Regeneration. Rare examples have reduced aptitude for healing of any sort, and indeed, are Klutzes.
Mega Audino gets a bit taller, their ears perk up, and their fur turns white. A large puff forms at the throat, and loger fur forms hems about its waist. It will be a strong Healer regardless of previous skill.
Battle Characteristics
Audino is a healer, but it has more combat potential than Chansey. It has good Constitution and matching moderate-high Toughness and Resistance. Strength and Power are both medium. Speed is medium-low.
Mega Audino has improvements in Toughness, Power, and Resistance. Toughness and Resistance both boost to very high levels. Power is improved to great.
It knows more healing and support moves than attacking moves, but it does learn a few heavy hitting attacks. Most of its natural moves are Normal type, but it can access a diverse array of options through training and TMs.

Audino has an abnormally high chance of undergoing a natural mega-evolution. The trigger is unknown, but they remain in the Mega form forever.

Depending on the biome, they may work in packs in food rich environments or work alone when low on food.

They are very social critters. They are healers partially because of the desire for a social group, so satisfy that need. A team of at least two other Pokémon is recommended.

Not really much of a warning. Gentle and friendly, while being numerous enough to spare in the wild.
