Pica

Pica is Tagg's female Tyranitar, who joined up with him along with Ana and Bohr following the Hoenn arc.

Personality

As the result of being a reject from a Larvitar eugenics program (albeit barely), she has a fair amount of insecurity, but hides it under a veneer of arrogance. However, over time she appears to have become slightly nicer, if still prone to snark.

Details

• Birthday: Sometime in 2011
• Age: 10
• Met: Mt. Pyre, Hoenn (Larvitar) (Originally from LaRousse City, Hoenn)
• Ability: Sand Stream
• Ball: Poké

Battle Strategy

In battle Pica tends to rely on the use of Taunt or Torment to disorient her oppoents and overwhelming power. Since becoming a Tyranitar, she also can take advantage of the sandstorms she creates to do sneak attacks.

Known Techniques

• Bite, Crunch, Dark Pulse, Payback, Taunt, Torment
• Outrage
• Earthquake
• Chip Away, Protect
• Stone Edge
• Surf

Relationships

• Pica's most enduring relationship is with Artemia, both mons considering the other their greatest rival and insulting one another at every opportunity. (And greatest friend, though both mons would be incredibly loath to admit it.)

• Pica managed to piss off Crochet enough to have the Leavanny knock her out with one Leaf Blade in Ecruteak-B.

• Since Pica's parents weren't exactly there she considers Ana and Bohr to be her parental substitutes, though much like her relationship with Artemia she'd be loath to admit it.

• Pica looks up to Garchomp.

• Is the older sister to both Andre and Gilgamesh.

Achievements

• Won Tagg's second fight with Drayden by mutually fainting his Haxorus after evolving.

Trivia

• Pica happens to have a minor congenital deformity, which takes the form of a smaller than normal tail "pistil" as a Larvitar, nubby spikes as a Pupitar, and a combination of both as a Tyranitar. This is likely the result of at least some of her ancestors being closely related.
