Just About Pokémon - "Design a new ice-type Pokémon!"

Folks, winter is almost here and so is Christmas. Snow has been falling (across the UK, at least!) and radiators country-wide are whirring into life. So why not celebrate with our latest 'design a Pokémon' reward, this time for a new ice-type Pokémon! As always, the rules for these rewards remain the same: we want you to get creative and design a brand new ice-type Pokémon. We want to see the visual design (don't forget, using AI is forbidden) whether it's a physical drawing or a digital illustration, and tell us as many details as possible: name, dual-typing, evolutionary chain, moveset, and more. For inspiration and more details on the sort of thing we're looking for, check out the winners of the 'design a ghost-type Pokémon (https://justabout.com/pokemon/37235/design-a-new-ghost-type-pokemon)' reward we ran in the run-up to Halloween....

Scarval is a Pokémon inspired by the narwhal, a "whale" with a horn that lives in the Arctic and is also called the unicorn of the sea because of this characteristic. The name Scarval is a combination of "scarf" and "narwhal."

About the Pokémon

Scarval is an Ice and Water-type Pokémon that lives in frozen regions. However, despite being an Ice-type Pokémon, it feels very cold and wears a scarf to keep warm. This is not the best strategy, though, as when it enters icy waters, its scarf gets wet, making it feel even colder.

Its skin is the same color as Lapras's and is covered with spots of a lighter blue. Its horn is white, long, and pointed. Its scarf is a bright red, which turns burgundy when it gets wet in the water.

Observations

I’m not sure why the image is of low quality on X, so I’m sending the same image directly through Just About. I want to make it clear that I’m not trying to cheat; I just want you to be able to see the details of my Pokémon better. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

It's not brilliant :) I call him sharpshooter, he fires Icycles at a fast speed and creates frost ground which causes other Pokemon to either fall or attack slowed!

Ice Type Pokemon by the name Flakey, he got his name because he looks like a snowflake! ❄️ His abilities include Blizzard, Freezy Frost and Powder Snow. This is the second and final stage evolution.

This is what we came up with kids, a snowflake-inspired Ice/Steel Pokemon

Three evolutionary forms:

1). Cryshardis (Basic Form) - A small, delicate snowflake with sharp, crystalline edges.

2). Glacieris (Mid Form) - A larger snowflake with enhanced sharpness and reinforced steel cores.

3). Frostbladis (Final Form) - A majestic, fully evolved snowflake with massive, razor-sharp edges designed for devastating spinning attacks.

There are also 2 iconic movesets: Spinning Blade Attack, And North Wind.

Pokedex: Legends say Frostbladis' North Wind move can freeze entire lakes in an instant

Location: These Pokemon inhabit icy peaks and dense mountain forests. Their crystalline bodies are perfectly camouflaged against snow and ice, making them nearly invisible. Precisely cut pine branches scattered on the forest floor clearly show their presence. These clean cuts occur as the Pokemon glide through the trees, their sharp edges effortlessly slicing through the foliage.
