Grovyle (PMD Explorers)

==Summary==
Grovyle is an important playable character in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky. He starts off believed to be a villain, trying to steal the Time Gears to put the planet into a temporal stasis, being hunted by the Great Dusknoir. During his time as an antagonist, he's also revealed to be from the future. Upon being captured and brought back to the future, with the protagonist and his/her partner in tow, it's revealed that all of Grovyle's intentions were for the good of the planet, and Dusknoir was actually an servant of Primal Dialga, a senseless version of the Legendary Pokémon of time, focused only self-preservation. It's later revealed that Grovyle was the partner of the main protagonist, who lost his/her memories and were turned into a Pokémon due to a mysterious accident that occurred while they and Grovyle were travelling through time previous to the beginning of the game. Grovyle joins the team to restore Temporal Tower with the Time Gears, and save the world, even knowing that saving the present causes the future, including him, to disappear.

Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Kilometers with ranged attacks. Hundreds of Meters with Luminous Orbs
Standard Equipment: Luminous Orbs, Wonder Orbs that when activated, release a blinding light that lights up the entire room. Grovyle uses these like flashbang grenades, but these can also be used to automatically scout a floor. To see a list of Grovyle’s optional equipment, check out this blog here
Intelligence: Extremely high. Solved the mystery of the paralyzed planet, came up with plans to save the world from temporal destruction, and could hide from Dialga and his agents for a very long time. Is a seasoned fighter as well
Weaknesses: Fire, Ice, Bug, Flying, and Poison attacks
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Ability===
*Overgrow: When Grovyle is low on health, the power of his Grass- type attacks increase significantly.
===Moves===
*Leaf Blade: Grovyle uses the leaves on his arms as blades and carves up the opponent.
*Quick Attack: Grovyle uses its amazing speed to attack the opponent before the opponent can react. It normally goes first, cuts through corners, and has more range than his other moves.
*Dig: Grovyle's most useful move. Grovyle digs underground, and shortly later, attacks the opponent with a physical Ground- type attack. Grovyle uses this move for more than just attacking, as he uses it for escape, hiding, and all around stealth. Nothing (aside from earthquakes) can hit it while underground.
*Absorb: Grovyle takes a portion of the opponent's health and uses it to restore his own.
*Energy Ball: Grovyle creates a ball of verdant energy and throws it at the opponent in a straight line. It doesn't stop going until it hits something.
*Bullet Seed: Grovyle continuously fires a stream of damaging seeds from its mouth.
*Slam: Grovyle powerfully slams the opponent with its tail.
(The rest are moves that any Grovyle can do, but hasn't been seen doing. However, he would've either had to have learned them getting to lv 46, or did learn while going up from there)
*Pound: Grovyle pounds the opponent.
*Leer: Grovyle looks at the opponent menacingly, lowering defense.
*Fury Cutter: Grovyle cuts the opponent with a bug attack, which somehow hits the opponent twice in a row.
*Pursuit: Grovyle gains the counter status, so every physical move that hits him will get partially returned back to the user. This varies very differently to its canon counterpart.
*Screech: Grovyle lets out a screech, which sharply reduces the defense of all enemies in earshot.
*Agility: Grovyle lightens its body to sharply increase its speed.
*Detect: Grovyle gets the protect status, so as long as it's active, the opponent can't damage him. This also differs from its canon counterpart.
*False Swipe: Grovyle slashes the opponent, always leaving him or her with at least 1 HP.
*Leaf Storm: Grovyle blasts a massive storm of leaves for a large portion of damage. However, if it hits, it will sharply lower his special attack.
===IQ Skills===
(Can be turned on and off at will)
*PP Saver: Grovyle will occasionally use a move without consuming PP.
*Self-Curer: Grovyle recovers faster than usual from status problems.
*Gap Prober: Grovyle can send thrown items and deliver moves through team members to target only enemies.
*Concentrator: Grovyle is focused on making its attacks hit, so its accuracy is boosted by 1 level. Its evasion is reduced by 1 level, however.
*Practice Swinger: When Grovyle fails to hit the target with an attack or move, his Attack and Special get boosted for only the next turn.
*Trap Avoider: Grovyle avoids stepping on visible traps (and Wonder Tiles) when walking.
*Sharpshooter: Boosts the critical-hit ratios of Grovyle's moves and attacks.
*Counter Hitter: Grovyle takes on the Mini Counter status, which makes him strike back against attackers in certain conditions.
*Clutch Performer: If Grovyle's HP gets dangerously low, his evasiveness is boosted by 2 levels.
*Critical Dodger: Grovyle is able slip out of the reach of dangerous attacks so that critical hits don't make an impact.
*Stair Sensor: When he reaches a new floor, Grovyle uses its intuition to know where the floor's stairway is.
*Quick Dodger: Grovyle becomes better at evading attacks and moves.
*Trap Seer: The Pokémon will not activate a hidden trap when he steps on it. The trap will then be visible.
*Quick Striker: Grovyle attacks at a faster rate, so he will always lash out with an extra attack right after its first one.
