Wimpod and Golisopod

Wimpod
The Turn Tail Pokémon
Type: Bug/Water
Official Registration #: 767
Entry: An isopod pokémon native to tropical beaches. Notorious for its cowardly nature, wimpod are most often seen scurrying along beaches … desperately trying to get away from anything that moves. The best method to catch them is the obvious: barreling straight for them atop a five-foot-tall, 195-pound tauros charging at top speed across unstable shorelines.

Golisopod
The Hard Scale Pokémon
Type: Bug/Water
Official Registration #: 768
Entry: The evolved form of wimpod, by battle experience. Upon evolution, wimpod don’t simply gain height and mass; they also gain a hard, armor-like shell that protects them from physical blows, as well as a set of six sharp claws. These gifts in combination give golisopod a highly intimidating appearance, and as such, most wild pokémon know not to approach it. However, golisopod will fiercely battle any pokémon who’s brave enough to face it anyway … until, of course, golisopod’s special ability—and the last remaining vestiges of its personality as a wimpod—activates, forcing it to flee the battle in terror after sustaining a certain amount of damage.
