User:Transfinite/Pokémon counterparts

I feel that the 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

Counterpart 1	Counterpart 2
Wingull	Chinchou

• They share a catch rate of 190.
• They are both dual-typed Water Pokémon.
  • Wingull is also part Flying and Chinchou is also part 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 ratios.
• Their Almia Browser numbers are 10 apart (Wingull's is 78 and Chinchou's is 88).
• Their Dream World abilities, Rain Dish and Water Absorb, both recover HP when in the presence of water.
  • However, the exact mechanisms behind the HP recovery are different.

Venonat and Diglett

Counterpart 1	Counterpart 2
Venonat	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, Run Away, negates one of Diglett's normal abilities, Arena Trap.
  • Diglett's Sand Veil boosts its evasion, while Venonat's Compoundeyes boosts the corresponding stat, accuracy.
  • Diglett's Dream World ability, Sand Force, raises the power of Rock, Ground, and Steel moves in a sandstorm; Venonat's 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 ratios.
• Both species' Red and Blue Pokédex entries referred to the Pokémon living in darkness: Diglett underground, and Venonat in the shadows of tall trees.
