Avalhound

Avalhound is a dual-Type Normal/Ice-Type Pokémon.

It evolves from Froskey starting at Level 36. It is the final form of Hypup.

Physiology
Avalhound is a large husky-like Pokemon with mainly white fur. The fur on top of its head is still a light gray, but the fur on its back has changed to a brown color, the wing-like tufts being still ice blue but much larger with many more white polka dots. The white ring of fur on its neck has come around to surround its head like a parka with its ears poking through it, and the ovular fur over its paws have grown to resemble actual snowshoes. Its eyes hold a stern expression, and its tail is bushier with a sharp, frozen point.

Special abilities
Avalhound can cause its fur to turn completely white in order to blend into thick snow. It can cause a mass of snow to become a large snowdrift with a single tackle, then bash through it like it's nothing. Sometimes Avalhound are used alongside Stoutland in rescues.

Behavior
Avalhound are social Pokemon. It's not rare to find Avalhound in cohabitation with Stoutland.

Habitat
Avalhound are mainly found in colder areas or where snow falls, like near Crystal Cavern in Tayka.
