[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

The Ground type would be the big draw in the trade, though (even though Beartic's only possible Ground move besides Hidden Power is Bulldoze).  Super rare typing?  Yup!  Many would be quick to call it a Delta Species (it's not, but they wouldn't know that, and they probably wouldn't believe Shiva if she insisted it wasn't.  Deltas don't have to have a different appearance from their normal versions, after all, as Holon demonstrated)

So while the Beartic is strong and such, whoever gets the Beartic will probably feel rather cheated if and when it reverts back to being pure ice type.

I've already stated that Shiva will explain where that secondary Ground Type comes from and only give it to someone who shows interest in more than simply the rarity-aspect of the polar bear. Someone a Beartic is useful to and believes her words about Earthpower, maybe a hiker or such! Once the Ground Type fades away, this person might feel inclinged to journey to the eremit on their own to learn more/gain it back instead of being grumpy for this. I like that thought...
