Pokémon Sword & Shield: 10 Galarian Forms We Need To See

10. Kricketune

Britain has always been a sporting nation, valiantly competing in international competitions despite not winning very often. Fire starter Scorbunny seems to have a football inspiration, but that’s far from Britain’s only pastime.

Cricket is one of the few sports Britain (England, more accurately) can claim to be a real world leader at. Steve Smith might have just annihilated England’s attack in the last Ashes Test, but this summer England also won the Cricket World Cup, thanks to Ben Stokes, a lucky four and an strange boundary rule.

Kricketune already has it in the name; a cricket inspired design would be very Galarian.

Right now, Kricketune’s design leans musical. A little change to its talons could give it more of cricket twist. It already has the Merv Hughes ‘tache too.

Grass type seems to make the most sense, but it’s not the only option. Given the zippy pace of bowlers like Jofra Archer, an Electric typing could work, or maybe Psychic for Nathan Lyon style spinners. Failing that, with how often cricket gets rained off, a Water typing lends itself, while Ground and even Fighting, as a physical activity, could fit too.
