Spoopy Regional Variants
Variant Oddish and Radrishake

Type-Psychic(Chimerry), Ghost(Variant Chimecho), Psychic/Flying(Chimerry) and Ghost/Flying(Chimourne)

Basis: The Ghost type for the variant ties into how the type of chime they're based off shinto shrines. The addage of Flying type is well, how chimes are often associated with wind
