View source for User:Transfinite/Pokémon counterparts

I feel that the [[User:Lugia/Pokémon_counterparts|current list]] of Pokémon counterparts is woefully lacking. These are my proposed additions, with reasons as to why they should be included.

==Counterparts==

===Wingull and Chinchou===

* They share a [[catch rate]] of 190.
* They are both dual-typed Water Pokémon.
** Wingull is also part {{t|Flying}} and Chinchou is also part {{t|Electric}}, which is strong to Flying.
* They evolve two levels apart, Chinchou evolving at level 27 and Wingull at level 25. 
** In addition, they both evolve only once.
* They both have 50/50 [[gender ratio]]s. 
* Their [[Almia Browser]] numbers are 10 apart (Wingull's is 78 and Chinchou's is 88). 
* Their [[Dream World]] [[Ability|abilities]], {{a|Rain Dish}} and {{a|Water Absorb}}, both recover HP when in the presence of water.
** However, the exact mechanisms behind the HP recovery are different.

===Venonat and Diglett===

|-

* They were both introduced in [[Generation I]], and the Diglett evolutionary line comes right after the Venonat line in the [[National Pokédex]].
* They can both have up to three abilities. Interestingly, their abilities seem to correspond to one another.
** Venonat's [[Dream World]] ability, {{a|Run Away}}, negates one of Diglett's normal abilities, {{a|Arena Trap}}.
** Diglett's {{a|Sand Veil}} boosts its evasion, while Venonat's {{a|Compoundeyes}} boosts the corresponding stat, accuracy.
** Diglett's Dream World ability, {{a|Sand Force}}, raises the power of {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Steel}} moves in a sandstorm; Venonat's {{a|Tinted Lens}} also raises the power of some moves depending on their type, although in this case it only applies to "not very effective" moves.
* Both species' eggs hatch after 21 [[egg cycles]].
* Both species have 50/50 [[gender ratio]]s.
* Both species' Red and Blue Pokédex entries referred to the Pokémon living in darkness: Diglett underground, and Venonat in the shadows of tall trees.
