#exbow because. it has a bow made of water obviously but also Oxbow lakes

an xb inspired fakemon line - exbite, exbow, and mercenexbe

i think seeing hermit/mcyt inspired fakemon would be awesome!!!

sorry im going to go full autism here - i designed these to be kind of like starter pokemon!!

Exbite (lv1-15) (Water), Exbow (lv16-35) (Water), Mercenexbe (lv36-) (Water/Dark)

As starter analogues they all have the ability torrent and the hidden ability storm drain - though i debated with something like keen eye/super luck so an accuracy or critical hit based ability

A possible stat spread would be bulky and high sp.atk, not incredible speed though

There is already a perfect signature move in Snipe Shot so it’s sharing with Inteleon haha, this is why it also cant have the sniper ability, like most water types it would get access to strong special ice moves as well as water ones. Maybe Thunder and Hurricane as well. When Mercenexbe gets the dual dark typing too it gets some nice dark moves and more setupy stuff, like the guy hes based on he can be a bit sneaky too! A scary rain dance sweeper maybe!
