Something about the way Spinel, Friede and Liko's first Pokemon all share (or will share) the Dark type under certain circumstances (Spinel's Blacky being Dark type, Friede's Lizardon becoming Dark type upon Terastalization, and Liko's Nyarote will eventually gain the Dark type if it evolves into Masquernya). And how all three of them craft strategies around diversions, creating distractions, observations and running away.

Also thinking about how Spinel's Orbem is a Psychic type, similarly to Liko's Tebrim. Psychic moves being used to restrain or limit movements, or stop opponent's moves and use them against them. (Liko's Tebrim using her Mind Power during the battle against Grusha to stop her opponent's Icicle Spears and send them right back at it really reminded me of Spinel using his Orbem's Psychic moves to restrain Friede's Lizardon's movements back in HZ014.)

#liko #friede #spinel #character notes #i am having thoughts about this. and how all three of them have this cunning side to them in their respective styles #which is super interesting for main characters to have in the case of liko and friede #also thinking about the additional similarities between spinel and liko in that their main partners are cats(?? is blacky a cat ww)#i really wonder if spinel and liko will interact next ep because i find their strange similarities in terms of styles kinda fascinating #given that they couldn't be more different personality wise #i love that liko has a psychic type because the style that comes with such a type isn't necessarily one you'd expect from a protag etc #restraining movements or using your opponent's moves against them #(which is what spinel did against friede in ep 44 since blacky has foul play and that moves uses the opponent's strength against them etc)#i remember being blown away when horizons started airing #and that in the first eps liko was already 'i don't have to defeat them!' and used nyahoja's leafage to create a distraction and escape #(that was against zir and conia btw)#also the way friede left as soon as liko was okay at the end of ep 3 #and how he didn't finish his battle against amethio because that wasn't a priority #i was like wow. the main characters are escaping because it's the logical thing to do?#and there is no moral value ascribed to running away?#i thought that was great ww #either way very interesting how all three of them (liko friede and spinel) have this trickster side to them #and it manifests differently etc
