Onix is a dangerous rock snake. If tamed, this reptile becomes a kind, gentle pet. Many trainers fly on them. Unlike many other flying creatures, this character can carry multiple people and quickly, safely cover large distances.
The first hero on our list breaks stereotypes because he has phenomenal speed for a creature made of boulders. Onix doesn't fall behind other Rock type Pokémon with a defense stat of 160. However, its other stats are much lower, significantly limiting the number of roles the snake can play on the team.
Archeops

If pterosaurs had feathers like birds, they would look like Archeops. A trainer needs considerable patience to train this feathered dinosaur, as it only follows commands when calm.
This character's regular + special defenses are only 65. Leading the stats are its attack and special attack, which is unusual for Rock type Pokémon. They are 140, 112, respectively. Archeops also doesn’t lag much behind Onix in flight speed, boasting a speed stat of 110.

Aerodactyl is one of those characters capable of striking first with lightning speed. If the damage isn't fatal, the hero can survive a counterattack.

A nightmare for divers, Omastar combines features of a snail and an octopus. This monster grabs prey and doesn't let go until it consumes it or loses tentacles. If you try to escape, expect spikes thrown at your back.

"Somewhere in the Big N office:
— We're out of ideas for character designs.
After a two-hour brainstorming session, a thousand sketches in Paint, and a hundred pages of biography..."

Bastiodon

Cradily
