7:49 wahoo icepeck, this one’s on my permanent playthrough team, half because it kills hard and half because it looks sick as heck, nice choice and burnace too! that one’s landed its spot too.
about bootlegs: yes. any monster, any type, including the one it is already. unique colours for each permutation, but same type bootlegs of the same species will be the same colour. not guaranteed is moves: every bootleg learns moves the base form cannot, and i’m not sure what the parameters there are but they can get wild.
