No.063
Rookey
Big but skittish, it curls up upon hearing loud noises.
Despite its imposing size, it is timid and gentle, always avoiding conflict. Whenever danger approaches, it curls up into a ball, but it always musters the courage to fight when its friends need protection.
Found in Russet Highlands

Morphologies
Rookey adapts to the world’s biomes, taking on a different form in each region — its own look, habitat and story, and often its own element typing (a highland or stormy population can pick up a second element the basic form doesn’t have). The base statline is shared. Switch between forms with a Morph Orb.
