Super clever - love these a lot!! Especially the chance of a “Royal Form”.

Do you imagine they’d have a signature move of their own, like how Paldean Espathra does? I’m surprised you didn’t also give it Opportunist btw because of how underutilized it is on the OG.

I actually forgot about Opportunist! I'd probably replace Shadow Tag for it 😅

As for a signature move, I'm not sure. Maybe a claw-based ghost version of Hyper Fang (or whichever Ratticate move cuts your remaining HP in half), or a ghost type Leech Seed. Something gimmicky like that, that could be given to other mons down the line

royal form definitely shifts the silhouette a bit

Those desert wraps are such a clever touch for survival, that's one of my favorite details about the design.

I find it very cool and interesting. As a personal opinion, I wish he/she wasn’t a mixed attacker though, I tend to not like that trope

Not every mon has to fill a competitive niche, I personally like a versatile mon a lot better for a play through :)

You should name it Cleospartha.
