Zoltan

Zoltan is a Pokemon introduced in Batch 6 of the Fun Pokemon series.

Origin
Zoltan comes from the alien race of the same name from the game FTL: Faster Than Light. This game is one of Elloss' favorites and he really wanted to add a Fun Pokemon from it so he created both Zoltan and Rock in Batch 6 and Lanius in Batch 7. The Zoltan race are being made of energy that can even power system rooms with a single energy bar. They also have reduced health but make an explosion when they die that hurts enemy crew. The Pokemon is mostly based on this concept and the specifics of each of his abilities are shown below:


 * Dragon Hammer is when Zoltan creates a giant hammer made out of light energy and slams it down on his opponent (it works even if it is a stretch).
 * Bone Rush is Zoltan shooting energy into his opponents body which makes his bones vibrate.
 * Thunder Wave is a wave of energy that Zoltan shoots at his opponent.
 * Substitute is when Zoltan creates a dummy made of energy and hides behind it for protection (another stretch).
 * Leftovers is when Zoltan absorbs energy into himself which heals him.

Strengths
Zoltan is an insanely strong Pokemon with the ability to stay alive for a very long time. He does this by using his incredibly high health and move Substitute to take as little damage as possible. The item Leftovers allows him to keep regaining health and reusing Substitute to continue gaining value from it. He also uses Pin Missile for a full multi-strike hit damage. Skill Link also makes it so that Bone Rush always does the maximum amount of hits in a turn. He also uses Light Screen to shield his allies from powerful special attacks. Finally, he has Thunder Wave to weaken enemies and possibly make them miss so that he takes even less damage.

Weaknesses
He isn't very offensive since most of his moves consist of non-damaging moves. One thing to note is that his damage output isn't as great as say Land's End, but it's still really good. Also, because he is a dragon and ground type, he has a huge weakness to ice type moves, especially when it gives STAB, making him easy prey to the likes of Warlus and Solarbare.

Trivia

 * Zoltan has the highest HP stat in the whole Fun Pokemon series.
 * Zoltan is the first Pokemon made to have Substitute as a main part of his strategy.
