Timid Eel
Electric Water Phase I Original Form
A spirit renowned for its powerful electric discharges, yet the eels of this species seem oblivious to their own fame. Often timid and hesitant, even the weakest opponents can make them tremble with fear. There was once a timid eel that played dead and fainted on a shoal—because a Crawlie happened to pass by.

Notes
- Timid Eel is Electric+Water dual-type, Special Attack base stat 92 equals Physical Attack, but skill pool is mainly magic damage skills, recommended to go special attack route
- Trait 'Bioelectricity' reduces Electric-type skill energy cost by 2, greatly improving Electric-type skill cost-efficiency. Prioritize Electric-type skills.
- Speed stat of 92 is moderately high, combined with the speed reduction effect of [Ion Blast] can contest first-move priority.
- Weak to Earth and Grass attributes; need to be aware of attribute disadvantage
