I've been pounding these islands for pets for the ach and just for pets!  Keep getting a LOT of repeats but this guy showed up today.  He's not on the ach list however but always nice to get a new pet.

With its high power stat, this promises to be one tough customer. Maintain Adrenaline Rush, pound away with Thrash, and either maintain Spiked Skin or pop Survival for one more turn of thrashing before dying.

The needleback porcupines have survived life in island climates by evolving to be extra lucky.
