Topazaur -> Minerazaur

Topazaur the Young Gem Pokemon
Type: Dark
Topazaur live in dark caves, their gems glow red at all times, which frightens passers by. Topazaur can light their blue frills up at will to intimidate opponents. Despite their fierce appearance, they are shy and eat only rocks. They are born at the very depths of caverns and spend their childhood climbing upward toward the surface. It is said they reach maturity once they see daylight for the first time. Topazaur then return to the cave and a wild Topazaur will never venture out of the darkness again in their lifetime. Their glowing red eyes are perfectly adapted for seeing in the dark. Their name comes from topaz and dinosaur. Evolves to Minerasaur at level 37.

Minerazaur the Ancient Mineral Pokemon
Type: Dark/Steel
Minerasaur live only in the deepest caverns. Their gems give off a constant, eerie red glow. Minerazaur can hibernate for decades at a time, curling up and becoming rock-like and still. Even in hibernation, their gems glow, an indication of their life force. Their tails and head decoration are made of steel and they bang them on rocks to communicate through caverns from miles away. They are thought to be an ancient Pokemon species which have survived underground for millenniums. Their name comes from mineral and dinosaur.
