#988 Slither Wing
“Slither Wing (Japanese: チヲハウハネ Chiwohauhane) is a dual-type Bug/Fighting Paradox Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
It is said to be an ancient relative of Volcarona. It also has a future counterpart, Iron Moth.
Slither Wing is a large, moth-like Pokémon with four legs. It appears to have compound eyes that are two shades of red, and there is a red spiny horn-like structure on each side of its face. The fuzz on its body and legs is smoky white and messy. Its thorax is navy blue in the center, and its tail-like abdomen is teal with black dots. It has six leaf-like wings that are orange in color with yellow-orange tips and small green diamond-shaped marks, but they do not seem to be strong enough to allow it to fly. Even though it is mostly quadrupedal, it can stand on two legs, mostly during battles.
In an article from an August issue of Occulture magazine, it is stated that there have been few sightings reported of Slither Wing, whose name is taken from that of a similar creature described in the Scarlet Book. It shares traits with Volcarona, and some theorize that it may have been revived from fossils of a prehistoric era. However, no Volcarona fossils of that era are known to have been found.
According to AI Sada, Slither Wing is an ancient Pokémon related to Volcarona. However, according to a Sada brought to the Crystal Pool by Terapagos, Slither Wing is a counterpart of Volcarona from another timeline. Its true origin is unknown. Slither Wing were brought to the depths of Area Zero by a time machine built by Professor Sada ten years ago.“-Bulbapedia.
