Sheldon

Sheldon is a Fun Pokemon added in in Batch 2-3. He is an interesting Pokemon with a never before used play style.

Origin
Sheldon was inspired off of the character Sheldon with the same name from the show The Big Bang Theory. The character Sheldon is a very annoying person, but is also very smart, genius level, and is a very weird person overall. This is why the pokemon was given moves like Torment and Psychic and its item odd incense, respectively.

Strengths
Sheldon is very skilled in dishing out powerful psychic type attacks to make a quick end to his opponent. Speaking of quick, he also happens to be the fastest Pokemon in the series, opening up the door to previously unseen potential in Fun Pokemon. Sheldon also has a somewhat deadly combo, this being using Spore on his opponent and not only be guaranteed to strike due, but also usually being the first Pokemon to go per turn due to his speed stat. This means that no matter what, Sheldon's Spore will always hit the opponent on the first turn of the battle and the opponent will be able to do nothing except deal with it. This can be paired up with Dream Eater to deal incredible damage. He also has the Inner Focus ability so that even Fake Out can't stop his powerful combo.

Weaknesses
Despite Sheldon's broken combo, he is still a very fragile Pokemon and can be defeated with just one physical attack. This means that he must be careful with which Pokemon he puts to sleep or he will come to his demise.
