Pokémon constellation project

Welcome to the Pokémon constellation project!
There are 88 constellations in the sky. Here is a list. I will be adding more and more, so check back or I'll bug you to death.

Anyway, they're Pokémon for Antarcticiss, my made-up region. It's why most of them are ice and flying (as well as star) types, so don't bug me about that. Seriously.

Name:Andromeda

Type: Star/Ground
Description: Andromeda is a mythological character, the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia. She was chained to the rocks because of her mother’s boastfulness. Cepheus, the king went to an oracle. The oracle said she had to be sacrificed to the sea monster, Cetus. She was chained to the rocks but was rescued by Perseus, who turned Cetus into stone by showing it the head of Medusa (Stars and Planets, pg. 132). I’m not sure why I used Linoone as a base for her. I'm not sure why I put an alpha symbol on her at first, but she is the first constellation when put in ABC order.
Pokedex: Said to be a counterpart to Linoone, because of her shape. She has an Alpha symbol on her right side.
