---------------------------------------
Pokedex Entries:
Version 1 - This Pokemon is known to be somewhat of a prankster- in colder months, it will make a habit of flying into unaware victims at high speeds. This has no lasting harm on it, however, due to its ability to reshape itself if it were to fall apart. As it repeatedly does this, it will grow larger as it accumulates extra snow until it finally evolves.
Version 2 - There are old rumors that Frostly come to life from regular snowballs when given a magic top hat, but no attempts to recreate this have succeeded so far. It is believed that these rumors came about from their habit of targeting those wearing top hats for their snowball pranks, making it seem as if a reforming Frostly rose from underneath a fallen top hat.

I've had this little idea in my head for...WAY too long. So I finally spent the time to make it! It's not perfect and I'd definitely add more details, but here's Frostly! Convergent with Gastly of course. I like to imagine this does the "Evolves into multiple of itself" thing and ends up as a little snowman.
I always wanted to make a regional/convergent Gastly that was Ice/Poison since we didn't have it yet, but I couldn't think of anything to make it really work.
This little guy is Ice/Flying type, because snowballs already spend most of their time flying through the air and this guy floats too. It has a little aura of snow around it instead of a ghostly aura, which I think looks great here even though it's very simple.
It's name, Frostly, is close to Gastly per the convergent mon rules, but is also a play off Frosty the Snowman. Hence, it has little coal eyes and carrot fangs!
I wanted to keep the big eyes, but I wasn't sure how to do them best. My thought was that they would kind of be like sunglasses now, but more like little protective googles for when it's flying fast. And, being an ice type, they would be clear ice! Hence, in the little art if you look on the left you can see that little part that shows it's a little see-through.
As for the mouth, it's uh....a mouth???
Icy Composure and Snowballing are abilities I came up with, but while Icy Composure is just an ability I could see being on almost any Ice-type, I think Snowballing would be its line's signature ability. It might be a lot, but I'm thinking of how this line would have a very low defense stat to start since it's literally just snow, and so having that boost over time would be very nice for it while not being broken.
The signature move is based off its pranking habit, and does both flying and ice type damage, since it is using itself for it(ice), while launching very fast in the air at them(flying). Maybe it's a bit much, but I like the damage chart that comes from it, perfectly balanced! 1 4x, 1 1/4x, 5 2x, 5 1/2x, and 6 1x. Beautiful.
I know this all seems like a lot for just this little guy, but as you can tell from the top the idea is that this all carries on, so it might not realistically get its signature move before it gets to Genglaus.
I don't have any proper design ideas for what Drifter(snowdrift, haunter) and Genglaus(santa claus, gengar) would look like, but the evolution ideas are meant to be so from Frostly to Drifter you have to walk with it to let it collect snow, and since Genglaus would be a sort of Santa Claus type Pokemon, it would have to know Present, because of course!!!
Maybe the evos are bit much idk :v
Any ideas/input is welcome!!!! I spent wayyyy too much time on this but as mentioned I've been thinking about this almost since regional Pokemon first started.
...yes I am aware this is ANOTHER ice-type variant of a gen 1 mon. but actually it's a convergent pokemon so HUSH
edit: upon rereading, this is all a rambly mess i am SO sorry but i love this guy
