Maekrite
Maekrite is Silent's Nidorino; his most loyal companion and his second Starter Pokémon after Inka, and is actually her firstborn. A mid-leveled Pokémon with experience in field combat, escorting and protection, with high endurance, an adamant and highly judgmental personality. He is part of his Colony's patroller force (the Owsla).
Maekrite was the first kit Inka and her mate ever had, the only of his litter; in the AU, the only kit the couple ever had. He was born late in the season and was taken with his family to PEFE Old HQ to live there for a while.
At age two, Maekrite was assigned to be Silent's Pokémon by his colony.
Battle Technique
Maekrite was taught by his parents a variety of general combat techniques, and is built and trainer to be a persistent attacker. He earned a position as colony patrolled at about one year old and was eventually assigned as a guard to Silent.
Maekrite knows a wide range of techniques, acquired during his life by various means, like taught by his peers (Call for Family, Chip Away), by himself (Frustration, Sludge Bomb), enabled by a TM (Snatch, Thunderbolt), or by event (Morning Sun). Most of the detail of his movelist is available in the external characters page linked to here.
Among his skills, it can be mentioned that he is a good Practice Swinger, building momentum and power when an opponent evades his ramming, and an Extra Striker, using various measure to strike twice in short range such as swinging his paws and horn in different directions. He also has access to a EX Mode when using Focus Energy in certain circumstances that gives him a temporary health boost, among other bonuses.
Maekrite's Abilities are Poison Point, a physiological trait which allows him to pass poison to his opponent by physical contact, and Rivalry, which is a behaviour most Johto Nidos are trained in to be always alert and eager to ram an opponent.
