Kricketune

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in the Generation IV.
==Biology==
Kricketune is a red bipedal insectoid Pokémon. It has two gray eyes with black pupils, and on its head are two antennae that bend down and get thinner at the round sections. It has a darker red nose and a black mustache. It has two long, thin, digitless arms and short, digitless feet. It has two black wings. 9' it's front, it has three black spots and a light yellow stripe going down, split into two sections, and closer to the legs it is deep red with pale yellow underneath. It has a round body and a thin neck. Kricketune uses its arms to create sound, and they make different sounds depending on its emotion.
===Gender differences===
Male Kricketune have longer mustaches than the females.
=== Behavior ===
Kricketune have melodious cries that are easy on the ears. They are capable of composing melodies on the fly, often of a caliber rivaling that of professional musicians. Kricketune use songs to convey emotions, and are capable of making others around them feel similarly through their music. As they sing, they cross their knife-like arms across their chests. By allowing their cries to resonate within their bellies, they can produce a unique sound that is difficult to mimic with conventional instruments. Some villages hold Kricketune concerts in the autumn, where their wildly variable melodies are rated against one another. In battle, their musical capabilities manifest as the attack Bug Buzz. They use their sharp arms to slash foes that come too close, though they are also known to direct “symphonies” of Kricketot and Kricketune using their arms as well. When mating, suitors use size of their mustaches to display their virility. Then, pairs of Kricketune will compose duets they perform together to signify that they both have been “taken.”
==Evolution==
Kricketune is the evolved form of Kricketot as of level 10.
