Officer Magnezone's Exploration Team Files
Name: Tempest
Species: Trapinch
Category: Ant Pit Pokémon
Gender: Male
Personality: Stubborn and hot-headed, this Pokémon seems to suffer from an inferiority complex. Cause unknown. It has caused a bit of friction with potential recruits that are or will be Dragon-types. Regardless, his stubborn nature can also be interpreted as determination, in light of his tireless training to attempt forcing his evolution without the aid of Luminous Spring. Evolution seems to be his main goal, to the point of borderline obsession. It is also worth noting that he takes any sort of insult involving his bug-like appearance very hard.
Member of: Team Rapid
Preferred moves: Sand Tomb, Crunch, Faint Attack, Sand-Attack, Hyper Beam
Fighting Style: Like most Trapinch, Tempest relies on mostly physical attacks until he can evolve. Will fight the opponent to his last breath, employing moves meant to subdue the opponent before he can move in for the knockout blow.
Strategy: Current preferred strategy is trapping or incapacitating the opponent with any combination of Sand Tomb, Crunch or Sand-Attack. After doing so, he can either pass them on to another teammate or follow up with additional moves. After learning Hyper Beam, Tempest has been known to immobilize his opponents with Sand Tomb or Arena Trap, then move to where they cannot strike him before using Hyper Beam.
Preferred Items: Red Glasses
"More like goggles than glasses, but whatever."
