Stalachu

A Rock Type Pikachu evolution. I think his head looks a bit odd... I've always found Rock Types the hardest to design... The name's a combination of stalactite, a limestone formation often found in caves, and chu.

Description:These practical little fellows are the most robust variant of Pikachu. They rarely appear above ground, as their eyes are extra sensitive to sunlight. Stalachu are friendly, though, and also creative: they like to carve maze-like constructions deep underground with their pickaxe tails.
Stalachu are, unfortunately, the least agile Pikachu evolution due to the heavy stalagmites that grow on their backs, but they can still evade potential threats by temporarily blinding them with a quick and unexpected flash of their miners’ hats.
