The story of Elgrove Cryst

"Its frozen horn stays solid through its life. When water begins to drip from this ice, Elgrove Cryst feels the chill of its own life slipping away."

Where base Elgrove counts down by a leaf, its frost cousin measures its life by a horn of ice — dripping means the end is near. In play it's a tanky Ice worker and a freeze-combo partner.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

Day 26. Bred one from an Elgrove and a Pierdon Cryst — I never found a wild one.

Day 28. Cooling Lv 5 froze my whole refrigeration chain solid.

Day 30. Soaked a boss with a Water Pal, then Father Winter's Threat froze it flat.

Day 32. 120 HP — it soaks hits far better than base Elgrove.
