Foxes often appear in Medieval texts with a moral message, and are invariably trickster figures! (eg. Henryson’s Middle Scots Morall Fabillis)

They can call it a brush and lie about the truth of the inspiration.

It looks cool but it’s stats and movepool are just terrible, if he is supposed to be Boltund’s rival, then he lost.

Theres definitely so many mons this gen who could have used dual typings

Are we sure about that tho? I think the Guy Fawkes connection was thought up when we all thought Nickit was a fire type, but it is a dark type and it turns out the tail is more a Brush to dust off his footprints like a sneaky burglar than a reference to… .you know, a historical terrorist.

To this day, on Guy Fawkes Night, or more commonly known now as Bonfire Night, November 5th, they light fireworks and burn bonfires with effigies of Fawkes atop them. (Nickit’s tail vaguely resembles a little bonfire) The hacker group Anonymous, famously wear Guy Fawkes masks when protesting out in public
