For a very critical reason, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all future ers and ers of my works.

Now, here's a Fakemon fit for Halloween [if only I was able to finish my silhouettes before November]: Fwiker, the Trapped Fakemon! Fwiker is based on traditional Japanese and Chinese lanterns [kudos to for correctly guessing the basis of my Post-Halloween 2010 Fakemon Silhouette #1], but instead of paper, it is made of wicker, a sturdier material. This is because Fwiker actually has a trapped spirit inside it [the Dex rumors are true, lol], referencing Spirit Orbs this time. Also, Fwiker's presence during death mirrors mythological being capable of sensing death, possily the Angel of Death or the Grim Reaper himself.

On a side note, I really like Fwiker's name, as it sounds both ancient Greek or Celtic, and mysterious as well. It must be the letter 'k' or the lack of the letter 'c' to it. I don't know, I just like it! Fwiker, Fwiker, FWIKER!!! Haha!

Fwiker, to be honest, is a newer creation of mine. It was actually created as a basic stage for my gimmick Halloween Fakemon. The reason behind this is because of the new Gen V Pokémon Darmanitan. In the page of Fwiker's evolution, I will discuss why, but right now, it is enough to know that Fwiker is equivalent to Darmanitan's basic stage, Darumaka.

Move-wise, Fwiker concentrates on its Ghost-typing and eerie origins. It has creepy damaging as well as strategic status moves that makes it the eerie death-sensing Fakemon that it is: Astonish, Disable, Smog, Smokescreen, Pursuit, Shadow Sneak, Curse, Imprison, and Block. As a confused and restless spirit, Fwiker combats with Night Shade, Shadow Ball, and bestows Punishment to those threatening it. Also, it can burn its foes with Will-O-Wisp, a reference to its evolution's gimmick as well as its Spirit Orb basis.

Like Darumaka, Fwiker evolves when it reaches Level 35. The Daruma Pokémon and my Trapped Fakemon also have the same 315 stat total, but their similarities end there. Mirroring Drifloon this time [apart from the immunity from Ground types, since Drifloon is Flying-type and Fwiker has Levitate], Fwiker has a high 95 HP, five more than the Balloon Pokémon. However, Fwiker is made of sturdy material as compared to Drifloon, so it gets 60 on both defenses, as compared to Drifloon's 34 Defense and 44 Special Defense. As with offense, Fwiker is only a confused trapped spirit, and it doesn't really mean harm, so it gets low 35 on both offense stats, and an even lower 30 Speed, while Drifloon is built a little offensively, with 50 Attack, 60 Special Attack, and 70 Speed. It is worthy of note, though, that Drifloon has 348 stat total, 33 points higher than both Fwiker and Darumaka.

Fwiker is a good Sponge for fiery fighters, but sadly, that is all that it can do. It doesn't have the fuel to dish out powerful damaging moves, but it can burn with Will-O-Wisp to lessen the opponent's attack or slowly but surely reduce the opponent's HP via the Ghost-typed Curse and Block, with Fwiker' defenses stalling the battle longer. Ooh, quite a number of Fire references there, did you notice?

Fwiker is mine!
