Explanation/Notes on Design

A mostly "bad Event" for Abyss -- it truly should be a terrifying Biome. Many available things to be able to take option 1 and 2, from typing to moves that aren't often had (Odor Sleuth) to moves/abilities that are fairly frequent (Prankster, Trace, Dazzling Gleam).

Idea is that tracking moves and resistance to Dark or being a Dark type help you find Spiritomb, whereas the Fairies either shelter you or clear the air with an widespread Fairy move to reveal Spiritomb.

The other options are the "bad" ones, where you can still choose how exactly your punishment will be -- immediate if you are strong (option 3) or delayed if you can't even hold that right now (option 4, laying heavy on the aura effect).

Notes to Artists

We can use normal Spiritomb's art, but some effect similar to Volcarona's event would be cool for option 3 and 4.
