Varika Water Starter by Owletumel

Dilistallos (Dill-ah-stal-os)
These Pokemon are excellent swimmers. They propel themselves at higher speeds using their thick tails as paddles.
Ornistallos (Or-ni-stal-os)
The pink crystals on its arms are made of tourmaline. As the poison sacs in their arms are not fully developed, they are not toxic, but still painful.
Skoreidos (Skor-ee-dos)
Their tourmaline claws and armour are infused with poison from its arms. Their scorpion tails are highly toxic, but not lethal.

Gender Ratio: Same as all starters
Not eligible for Sky Battles.
Abilities: Torrent - Poison Touch (Hidden Ability)
For their names, the suffix "stallos" is Greek for crystal, "Dili" is from "dilitirio", Greek for poison, "Orni" is from the scientific name of a platypus, "Skor" from the Greek word "skorpios", meaning scorpion, and "eidos" is from the Greek words that mean tourmaline.
The whole scorpion look was inspired by the poison spurs of a male platypus.
I think that's everything, but if I'm missing something, let me know.

InsomniacHyena's right. x3
Having a Water/Poison would be perfect, since so far we a Grass/Dragon and Fire/Fairy. >w<

^ Well, we just gotta wait and see when the contest is over.
But I didn't expect my design to be this popular. c:

Oh wait, I get it. Fairy(Fire) types counter Dragon(Grass) types, Poison(Water) types counter Fairy types, and Dragon types somewhat counter Poison types.
