Description

This was originally one of my fake water starters (shudder), but after revamping it, I was content with just making it a regular two-stage species. It’s worth to note that one of Smogon’s own fakemons isalready rocking the pirate octopus design , and while I definitely confess of being inspired by it, I felt like giving that theme my own twist.
Most setup sweepers can have their plans ruined by opponents with Roar or Whirlwind, and to date, the only species with both Suction Cups and a reliable setup move is Cradily with Curse, which is something I wanted to rectify. And since the above ocean dweller has a shell, then you can already guess that Shell Smash would be something most interesting to give it. Still, there aren’t any physical Water or Dark moves in the 120 BP club, so bulky waters, Unaware users, and a middling special bulk should hopefully still keep this thing at bay (hue).

Names originate from Conch + Corsair, and Captain + Terror.
Notable moves: Shell Smash, Waterfall, Hydro Pump, Surf, Aqua Jet, Knock Off, Sucker Punch, Dark Pulse, Ice Beam, Ice punch, Drain Punch, Poison Jab, Reflect Type, Recover, Taunt.

Edit: Added Dark typing to the base stage.
