Bretlan Crystal

Loosely based around pit ponies, Equartz is something of a spiritual successor to a more equine design that followed that thread. Following the subterranean theme this guy is composed of various crystals and in particular the mineral Fluorspar, which was part of the mining heritage of the North East of England. These crystals serve as the basis for the word flourescent which is very appropriate for this pokemon, given that it uses the crystals to reflect, refract and channel light in various ways as a form of attack.


Equartz are commonly seen in and around caves and mines where they have access to the minerals necessary to fuel the growth of their own impressive crystals. These crystals serve as a potent defence as by reflecting and focusing light they are able to manipulate a range of elemental energies in a poorly understood but very successful form of attack. Equartzs propensity for subterranean environments and the glow of their crystals has made them popular companions for the mining industry.
