Tonemy has a Nuclear-type variant. However, it is unobtainable in-game.

Pokédex Entry

Physiology

Tonemy is a small, ball-shaped Pokémon with two stubby feet, two wings, and a furry tail. It has round black eyes and a happy expression. It has a tuft of brown fur on its head. Its body and wings are purple, and the webs on its wings are brown.

Special Abilities
