Description Maaphix (basic stage) - Harmontu (alt. stage one)

Khersin's Phoenixdex Entry

"But Phoenix that's not a sphinx either—" Aha, but it is! Specifically, it is a criosphinx, or ram-headed sphinx. You learn something new every day, kiddies.

A Maaphix that reaches level 35 while holding a Horned Mask (which doubles Maaphix's attack) turns into this bad boy. It doesn't have anywhere near the special attack strength Harmontu does, but it has amazing defense to make up for it—and it still hits hella hard with physical attacks like Earthquake and Head Smash. Like Harmontu it can create vicious sandstorms (in this case the name comes from khamsin). It must suck to be lost in a desert, blinded by a wall of flying sand, and then have this thing come charging at you out of nowhere to knock the spine straight out of your back.

Pokémon is Nintendo's, Khersin is mine.

'in this case the name comes from khamsin'

Haha I read that and was like 'where do I know that word from...' and then realized, wait, that's 'chamsin'. LOL. The wonders of translation.

Anyhow this guy is hella cool. Sphinxes are like, the coolest creatures ever.
