Plucky, Chanticler, and Roostar

Plucky, Chanticler and Roostar form a three-stage evolutionary line. The three species are all-male, and are considered to form the male counterpart to the Happiny/Chansey/Blissey evolutionary line. They have the same general egg-like body shape as their female counterparts, but also have physical characteristics in common with roosters (such as combs), in much the same way Chansey and Blissey seem to be influenced by hens.

These Pokemon are all very musically talented and according to legend, their songs are responsible for making the sun rise every morning. They have a number of unique moves, all of which are themed around music and provide different types of special effects.

Plucky and Chanticler are both Normal-types, while Roostar has three Forms, each with different typing; the form changes depending on whether it is holding a Fuzz Amp or a Harsh Amp.

Plucky, the male counterpart of Happiny, hasn't fully developed his musical talent yet. He carries an improvised guitar with only two string, and is known to sing somewhat off key.

Chanticler, a more experienced musicia, is based on medieval bards. He resembles the Alan-A-Dale character from Disney's animated Robin Hood, but with a more Chansey-like body shape.

Roostar's talents have fully developed and he is based on a contemporary musician. Roostar is normally in the Acoustic Form, but changes to the Rhythm Form (which is Rock/Electric) when holding a Fuzz Amp, and to the Dissonance Form (Steel/Electric) when holding a Harsh Amp. The three forms are based on a folk musician, a classi rock musician and a heavy metal musician respectively. These forms, in turn, possess many regional variactions that pay tribute to real-life musicians. For instance, a Roostar evolved from a Plucky caught in Minnesota may resemble Bob Dylan in its Acoustic Form, and Prince in its Rhythm Form.
