This chain of immense stones resembles a giant serpent. Tremors shake the earth above as it burrows deep beneath the ground, feeding on boulders as it goes.

Weavile

Weavile

No.461 · Sharp Claw Pokémon

DarkIce

This species corners prey as a pack, under the guidance of a leader. Weavile displays increased cunning, leading me to speculate that its evolution caused further brain development.

Nickit

Nickit

No.827 · Fox Pokémon

Dark

Cunning and cautious, this Pokémon survives by stealing food from others. It erases its tracks with swipes of its tail as it makes off with its plunder.

Why this Pokémon

April 4 is day 95 of the year on a leap-year calendar. Divided by 366 that leaves a remainder of 95, and every Pokédex number leaving the same remainder belongs to this date. The lowest of them, No.095, is the one this page leads with.

The straightforward reading — 27 July becomes No. 727 — breaks down in November, where the numbers run past 1025 and leave those birthdays empty. Cycling through 366 keeps every date filled.
