Oddly for a bird, Merle is fairly down-to-earth. She likes to approach things logically, and gets annoyed when other mons rush into situations. She has somewhat sticky talons, a habit which has both aided and aggravated Team Earthbound.

Abilities in Battle

Merle, due to lacking much by way of physical strength, prefers to rely on trickery and use of her environment in battle.

Notable Moves
Type	Move	Acquisition	Performance	???	Notes
	Foul Play	Natural	★★★★★	–	When Merle finds herself outclassed in terms of physical power (almost always, that is), she uses Foul Play. This attack takes many forms, including trips or barriers.
	Feint Attack	Natural	★★★★	–	Merle uses this attack by vanishing into her own shadow and appearing out of the opponent's.
	Thunder Wave	TM	★★★	–	Since Merle doesn't take attacks well, it's helpful to ensure that the opponent doesn't get a chance to attack.
	Wing Attack	Natural	★★	–	Still her best Flying move... -sigh-.
	Shadow Ball	TM	★	–	When ranged fighting is necessary.
The list above may not be exhaustive. ID=Merle

History

Merle was a Murkrow in one of the Celadon murders. During a period of time in which several J-Team members got pulled into the Celadon Murkrow politics, Merle attempted to attack Breeze, getting a candy bar shoved down her throat. Later, due to incidents with shards, she ended up with Team Earthbound, exploring post-apocalyptic Hoenn and PEFE-B. She eventually returned to Celadon, and was caught by Diesel.
