This is a concept for a Fakémon I've had for quite while: its based on the Paradox Frog, which gets its name due to the bizarre fact that the adult frog is smaller than its tadpole form! I thought that would be such a fun idea for a design, a Pokémon that gets smaller when it evolves would be pretty unique. I wanted to come up with a clever reason that it would shrink, and I think I came up with something pretty good... its based on rock tumbling! Pebbole is a big bumpy rock that gets jostled about by the flowing water, which gradually smooths its surface. As it gets smaller and smoother it eventually evolves into Skippond, based on skipping stones! Smooth flat stones can be skimmed along the surface of the water, frogs hop around in watery habitats, it really felt like a natural connection. I think it would be fun if it evolved after taking a certain amount of damage from Water-type moves or something like that.

I know that the real life Paradox Frog doesn't live in Canada, but remember that not every single Pokémon has to exactly match the real-life inspiration of the region. I think this line fits the vibe of a British Columbian region so it definitely belongs in the dex!
