Ampark

Ampark is a dual Water-Electric type Pokemon introduced in Pokemon West and East in June 1990, replacing Frogqua. It evolves from Puppond starting at level 16, which evolves to Lycanrai starting at level 36.

Description Ampark is a coyote creature, looking slightly like a werewolf, with slender limbs and white fingernails that look like bubbles. It has blue and yellow fur, it has sky blue claws on its feet and its face looks like that of Puppond's but more intimidating.

Pokedex Entry West: When Ampark gets excited, sparks fly out its body. It usually like to sleep underground, so if you step one by accident, you'll get a nasty shock!

East: It loves to dig and bury electrical devices. Once someone tries to look for that device, it's the fault of Ampark.
