My computer is fixed, yay! Turns out one of the pieces connecting a cooling fan to its motor was broken, so it had to be replaced.
Anyway, another one done!
Galocelos
The Miracle Pokémon
Type: Ghost/Psychic
Ability: Anticipation / Triage - HA: Last Stand*
Stats: 123 / 115 / 42 / 30 / 120 / 42 - 472
Based on the Rooster of Barcelos. I decided to give it some phantasmagoric parts because the tale says the rooster was dead, in fact even roasted, when it crowed to save the pilgrim's life. Its sickle-like wings are shaped like a roasted chicken's wings because why not. Finally the marking on its neck is a reference to how the pilgrim it saved was supposed to be hanged.

Since i'm from Portugal, I would love to see a Pokémon inspired on "Galo de Barcelos" which is a very important symbol here for us.
This bird generally has some floral pattern mixed with heart shapes on its plumage and the rest is all black. The story is about a dead rooster that crows to prove an accused man's innocence.

* Last Stand is a fanmade ability that allows the user to switch into any moves it resists if the ally originally targeted by it is weak to such move.
Its secondary typing got me into a bit of an argument with myself. I originally thought about making it either Flying or Fairy type, as Catto suggested, but I thought Fairy didn't fit well as the rooster itself wasn't really a magical creature in the folk tale (imo). Flying-type was okay, but I though Psychic-type fits better due to the mystic and prophetic nature of the pilgrim's actions. Also, there are two moves that require the user to faint in order to heal allies, and both are Psychic-type.
I imagine Galocelos getting moves like Roost, Healing Wish, Heart Stamp, Shadow Claw, Eerie Spell, Psycho Cut, Night Slash, Phantom Force, Heart Swap, Strength Sap, Burn Up, Flare Blitz and Poltergeist.
Also, the shiny was too good to ignore :P
