Gift Explanation: These Pokemon would be given out in a similar way to the Unovan Elemental Monkeys, being an early game team member to help you with poor matchups. However, these Pokemon would be given to you to promote type diversity on your teams and, in the case of two of the monkeys, introduce to rare types very early on. The monkeys have the types of the only other type triangle (afaik) other than Grass/Fire/Water where each type is weak to one type, resists one type, is super effective against a type, and is resisted by a type (not counting immunities), being Rock/Fighting/Flying. The overall flavor for the Lorian Monkeys is being based on a variation of the Three Wise Monkeys that goes "Hear, See, Speak only good", essentially the opposite version of what the Unovan Monkeys are based on. Each final evolution of the Unova Monkeys failed to follow the advice of the Wise Monkeys, while the Lorian Monkeys are successfully able to follow the advice of the variation. Each one has Oblivious as their primary ability because they are now oblivious to evil. Picking the Grass Starter gives you the Rock-type Pansage, Fire gives you the Fighting-type Pansear, and Water gives you the Flying-type Panpour
Name: Lorian Pansage
Evolution: Evolves into Simisand when exposed to a Shiny Stone
Counterpart(s): Pansear-Loria, Panpour-Loria
Typing:
Abilities: Oblivious / Sand Stream
Base Stats: 50 / 53 / 48 / 53 / 48 / 64 (316 BST)
Height: 0.6 m
Weight: 10.5 kg
Notable Moves: Pansage's movepool (except for Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Leaf Storm, Leech Seed, Spiky Shield, Synthesis, Bullet Seed, Grass Pledge, Grass Whistle, Magical Leaf, Vine Whip, Worry Seed, Uproar, Gastro Acid, Toxic, and Gunk Shot) + Entrainment, Power Gem, Rock Blast, Rock Slide, Rock Throw, Sandstorm, Smack Down, Stealth Rock, Meteor Beam, Bulldoze, Rototiller, Sand-Attack, Sand Tomb, Earth Power, Echoed Voice, Extrasensory, Calm Mind, Zen Headbutt
Flavor/Design: Based on a monkey and a variation of the Three Wise Monkeys. The Unovan Pansage line represents "Speak No Evil", so Lorian Pansage line is "Speak Only Good."
Potential Competitive Role: Sand Stream in LC is interesting, but Hippopotas does it better I fear
Name: Simisand
Counterpart(s): Simismash, Simisoar
Typing:
Abilities: Oblivious / Sand Stream
Base Stats: 75 / 93 / 63 / 93 / 63 / 111 (498 BST)
Height: 1.1 m
Weight: 30.5 kg
Notable Moves: Pansage-Loria's movepool + Earthquake, Focus Blast, Stone Edge, Rock Polish, Ancient Power, Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact
Flavor/Design: Based on a monkey and a variation of the Three Wise Monkeys. The Unovan Pansage line represents "Speak No Evil", so Lorian Pansage line is "Speak Only Good." Simisand always has its mouth open with a wide smile.
Potential Competitive Role: Should be a very neat sweeper in lower tiers. It's a rare Rock-type that's fast and can go Special, with great Special coverage in Focus Blast and Earth Power plus Meteor Beam and Nasty Plot to set up. It's also not too shabby on the Physical side, with EdgeQuake coverage and Knock Off to help. While not the fastest low tier Rock-type, that honor being Lycanroc's, it should still be a decent pick if you need a fast Rock-type down there

Typing:
Abilities: Oblivious / Scrappy
Base Stats: 50 / 53 / 48 / 53 / 48 / 64 (316 BST)
Height: 0.6 m
Weight: 11 kg
Notable Moves: Pansear's movepool (except for Fire Blast, Fire Punch, Flame Charge, Flamethrower, Flare Blitz, Heat Wave, Overheat, Will-O-Wisp, Fire Pledge, Fire Spin, Flame Burst, Incinerate, Sunny Day, Uproar, Gastro Acid, Toxic, and Gunk Shot) + Entrainment, Aura Sphere, Brick Break, Bulk Up, Close Combat, Counter, Detect, Drain Punch, Karate Chop, Power-Up Punch, Revenge, Reversal, Bullet Punch, Dual Chop, Echoed Voice, Extrasensory, Calm Mind, Zen Headbutt
Flavor/Design: Based on a monkey and a variation of the Three Wise Monkeys. The Unovan Pansear line represents "Hear No Evil", so Lorian Pansear line is "Hear Only Good."
Potential Competitive Role: use galarian farfetch'd unless you really want a nasty plot fighting-type
Name: Simismash
Counterpart(s): Simisand, Simisoar
Typing:
Abilities: Oblivious / Scrappy
Base Stats: 75 / 108 / 63 / 88 / 63 / 101 (498 BST)
Height: 1 m
Weight: 28 kg
Notable Moves: Pansear-Loria's movepool + Focus Blast, Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Superpower, Iron Head, Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact
Flavor/Design: Based on a monkey and a variation of the Three Wise Monkeys. The Unovan Pansage line represents "Hear No Evil", so Lorian Pansage line is "Hear Only Good." Simismash's ears are even larger than Simisears and it often gestures to them as if you said something that it wants you to repeat.
Potential Competitive Role: It's a fast and fairly strong Scrappy Fighting-type, which would probably catapult it up a couple tiers because of how insanely good Scrappy is for Fighting-types. If we were to fully flesh out tiering for this mod, I could see this landing in NU or PUBL (in a NatDex context), though it would have to compete with fellow Fighting primates Primeape and Passimian

Name: Lorian Panpour
Evolution: Evolves into Simisoar when exposed to a Sun Stone
Counterpart(s): Pansage-Loria, Pansear-Loria
Typing:
Abilities: Oblivious / Aerilate
Base Stats: 50 / 53 / 48 / 53 / 48 / 64 (316 BST)
Height: 0.6 m
Weight: 13.5 kg
Notable Moves: Panpour's movepool (except for Aqua Tail, Hydro Pump, Scald, Surf, Waterfall, Aqua Ring, Brine, Dive, Rain Dance, Water Gun, Water Pledge, Water Pulse, Water Sport, Hail, Uproar, Gastro Acid, Toxic, and Gunk Shot) + Entrainment, Aerial Ace, Air Cutter, Air Slash, Bounce, Defog, Fly, Gust, Hurricane, Weather Ball, Whirlwind, Razor Wind, Ominous Wind, Twister, Solar Beam, Echoed Voice, Extrasensory, Calm Mind, Zen Headbutt
Flavor/Design: Based on a monkey and a variation of the Three Wise Monkeys. The Unovan Panpour line represents "See No Evil", so Lorian Panpour line is "See Only Good."
Potential Competitive Role: Very unique but its stats are probably too low for it to do anything
Name: Simisoar
Counterpart(s): Simisand, Simismash
Typing:
Abilities: Oblivious / Aerilate
Base Stats: 75 / 88 / 63 / 108 / 63 / 101 (498 BST)
Height: 1 m
Weight: 29 kg
Notable Moves: Panpour-Loria's movepool + Laser Focus, Lock-On, Baby-Doll Eyes, Foresight, Dazzling Gleam, Focus Blast, Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact
Flavor/Design: Based on a monkey and a variation of the Three Wise Monkeys. The Unovan Panpour line represents "See No Evil", so Lorian Panpour line is "See Only Good." Simisoar's eyes are always open, though its pupils are very small compared to the other Simis.
Potential Competitive Role: Might be the best one competitively, as Aerilate Hyper Voices are gonna hit hard after a Nasty Plot, it has great coverage in Focus Blast and Ice Beam, has a great Special Attack stat, and Flying is probably the best standalone typing between it, Rock, and Fighting. Kinda like a baby version of Tornadus.
