Thanks to StrikerAli for the help w/ art!

What typing is the Dark and Light evolutions? If they're Normal/Dark and Normal/Fairy I'd personally make this pre-evolution mono normal.
As far as movesets go this seems decent to me since it's a pre-evolution. Something probably useless for me to state but I'd also tweek the leveling rate to Medium Fast since the feels like an early canid pokemon.

The Evolutions will be Dark/Fairy and Fire/Fairy. To fit with the Light (sun) and Dark (moon theme). I will also probably change the level up stuff.

[Ace]

That makes sense. I'll comment on once you've changed it.

[Salient]

Changed, Ace. Any other suggestions?

[Devoxys]

The gimmick is pretty much Umbreon and Espeon, but with Shards instead of happiness.

And I agree, Mono Normal makes more sense.

I think Snarl (Move Tutor) would work for this Pokemon, it is a wolf after all.

It seems fine, I have no issues with the pre-evolution currently. I'd have to see Wolvuns evolutions in depth for me to form an opinion on them, however.

Added Snarl. Also, sort of. Umbreon and Espeon are gonna be weaker then the evolutions.

[Salient]

I changed it's evolution method. It now evolves into the Dark/Fairy one at level 26, and into the Fire/Fairy one at level 26, while holding a Sun Stone and having Max Happiness. Please make more suggestions etc.

[Snaquaza]

My main issue with this is the fact that it's a Fairy. It seems rather forced onto it since its a good type and results in unique typings, but in my opinion normal would fit way better, as the sole reason for the Fairy-type seems to be that it's cute.

Edit: I realize this is easy to say about most Fairy-type Pokemon, but to me Fairy-types are often more like "nice" and generally in some way "attractive" to people, however there is also a reason Growlithe nor Eevee is a fairy. I can't really explain this well, so I hope you understand it.

[Ace]

I guess being "cute" can also define as being a trait for fairy pokemon since I don't see any other reason they'd give it to the Marill Line, it's weird.

[jaywad]

I have a question: What wolf are you basing this off of? I think that if you base this off of a winter wolf this would seem to fit nicely. You would be basing the main evolution as an ice/normal Pokemon. Once it evolves, it would evolve into an ice/dark or an ice/fairy [dependng on the time of day].

[Salient]

ooo I really like the idea, jaywad. I'll change it to fit all of it. That's a great suggestion, thank you!

[jaywad]

Welcome Salient ! Glad to help out Hope you take this to a great point!

I also like the evolution line, although it may seem like it's a copy of umbreon and espeon since we've never really combined happiness with a stone to evolve yet. Good luck on these. Will suggest more stuff later.

[Salient]

Changed jaywad. Take a look at it? :x

[jaywad]

I like it alot! Though I have some suggestions. Moves like Beat up would be great for it since it walks in a pack. Round wold too! Also why not save icicle crash for the evo, cuz it seems too much to be caused by a little wolf pup. All else seems fine to me.

About abilities, I wouldn't suggest fur coat because it's very exclusive to only one pokemon so far [furfrou] and that's because all he's about is fur. Maybe replace it with vital spirit since its a cute and playful pup. As for an HA you can come up with one to fill a missing spot. [as a suggestion, maybe u should use hoarfrost, my created ability since it seems to match it]

I know you haven't begun on the evo's, but when they evolve replace vital spirit to something that would match their new typing.

Yep that's it. Great job and continue this mon cuz i feel it can really be approved. I'll see more on this tomorrow since it's very late over here

[Salient]

Added stuff! Still looking for suggestions though.

[gloomisjesus]

This is quite an interesting pokemon! Maybe make it evolve, instead of holding the Shiny Stone, holding the Soothe Bell? Since it needs Max friendship, the Soothe Bell increases the rate the friendship, and some researchers use bells to identify different wolves, I believe it's a great idea.

[jaywad]

Actually gloomisjesus that would ruin the concept of combining stones with happiness.

Also, are they gonna evolve like dusk stone and shiny stone[with happiness]? or is it only that the ice/fairy evolves that way and the ice/dark evolves normally al level 26?

You'll figure out the names [and the base is 319] cuz i'm bad at suggesting them XD

Yes, changing the way the evolve would ruin the concept.

And, jaywad, the Ice/Dark evolves normally, and the Ice/Fairy evolves at any level when holding the shiny stone, along with having max happiness.

[jaywad]

Yep, this seems pretty good as a Pokemon so far Waiting for the evolutions! [pls start off with the ice/dark one cuz i wanna see that more   ]

[Salient]

jaywad added a rough draft of Arctun, the evolution for Wolvun!

[jaywad]

Nice! It seems pretty good for now. The moveset is pretty good and i like it's bigger and different movepool. Nice job differentiating them. Though i don't really see icicle crash anywhere? Also shadow claw would be a great move for Arctun [love it's name btw ]
Also, tough claws is given to only three megas and the binacle line [because they have like seven claws]. Moxie would suit it much better.
The base is pretty good. I'm guessing that the ice/fairy is gonna have switched attacks and defenses to make both mons have an equal  BST
Yeah, so far I like it Keep that up.

[Cattail Prophet]

Just letting you know you left confide out of your tm lists and snore out of your tutor lists, unless you have a really good reason for excluding them. I'd also suggest adding the tms and tutors that they learn by level up to the lists, just for completeness' sake

[Snaquaza]

Stones aren't used for holding while leveling up. Please find another item. On top of that, I'd prefer if it wasn't level-based then, since it seems strange one can just evolve and the other needs requirements, even though they're similar.
