Thank you everyone who participated in this week's event. The answer was indeed Piloswine.


Piloswine, like many Pokémon blessed in generation 4, was given an evolution that allowed its line to see more use competitively. Members of this Pokémon's line, since generation 2, when they were released, have been available for capture in every mainstream game except for Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. And finally, it's typing of ice-ground leaves it with very few resistances and immunities - at one each, in fact.

I am distributing the points now.
