the pre-evolutions of Zapdos, Articuno and Moltres

Zickadee, the spark pokemon

Zickadee is a small bird pokemon with an affinity for electricity. It evolves into Zapdos at level 40. Zickadees are energetic and gregarious. They are very light and fluffy, their small body looks bigger because its feathers are always standing on end. This is because of an ambient static field its metabolism generates. Zickadees naturally feed off of atmospheric electricity, but will also sit on power lines to absorb electricty through them. They sometimes gather in large numbers, and if enough of them perch on the same wire, they can cause brown-outs.

Pyrakeet, the heat pokemon

Pyrakeet is a small bird pokemon that favours hot places. It evolves into Moltres at level 40. Pyrakeets are very friendly and often fly about singing. Their feathers waver like flames in the hot air that wafts off of them. This makes pyrakeets warm to the touch and is a byproduct of their metabolism. Pyrakeets get energey from the sun's warming rays, and in cold weather they will flock together and huddle up for warmth. In areas where they overwinter, there is usually a ring of melted snow from their combined body heat.

Ibice, the chill pokemon

Ibice is a small bird pokemon that prefers cool temperatures. It evolves into Articuno at level 40. Ibices are rather shy and tend to avoid each other. Their feathers are cool to the touch and covered with a thin layer of frost. This is makes their feather sparkle and is a byproduct of their metabolism. Ibices get their energy from cooler night temperatures and will can gather it as they sleep. Ibices become more friendly when it snows and will sometimes play together by sliding down snowbanks on their long tails.
