Spinewt

Spinewt is a Ground-type introduced in Pokemon West and East. It evolves to Sopranewt starting at level 22, which evolves to Megadon starting at level 62.

Description Spinewt resembles a quadruped lizard-like Pokemon with a few draconic appearances. It has blue eyes, brown and light yellow scales, a light yellow tail, and webbed feet. You can't see the spikes in this picture, as they only appear as Spinewt is upset or nervous.
