Introduction

Insert character introduction here.

• Flight Mode: Pet Shop has access to flight, allowing it to use its grounded normals in the air and speed up its movement options.
• Negative Edge: Pet Shop has access to a negative edge special move in "Ca-Caw! Cawww!", allowing Pet Shop to extend combos in ways that other characters cannot.
• Air Offense: Pet Shop can chain its aerial attacks, allowing it to have different combos and confirms; additionally, most of Pet Shop's special moves can also be performed in the air.
• Air Movement: Pet Shop has access to many different aerial movement options: "Flight Mode", "Gliding Attack", "Slam", "Whoosh!", "Dive", and "Aerial Dash" are all movement tools at its disposal.

Playstyle

Pet Shop is a Stand character who uses movement and a multitude of projectiles to dive in and out while overwhelming the opponent.
Pros	Cons
Unique Movement: Pet Shop has access to many different movement techniques, making it hard to catch while it continues to assault the opponent with an overwhelming amount of projectiles. Aerial Lows: Pet Shop has access to a special that will always hit Low, even if it is performed in the air, making it able to open up the opponent with tricky options as it moves around very quickly. God of the Skies: Pet Shop is able to control space and apply pressure while dipping in and out of different ranges, allowing it to create a tricky path of obstacles for the opponent to maneuver past.	Low Health: Pet Shop is tied for the lowest health in the game, making it very easy for the opponent to deal devastating damage to it for just catching it once. Low Damage: Pet Shop's damage is relatively low, needing to interact with the opponent more than other characters and spend resources to do significant damage.

Flight Mode

• 

Despite being a Stand User, Pet Shop does not change movesets by pressing the Style button. Instead, Pet Shop can enter and exit Flight Mode, which is indicated by a blue aura around its body.

Flight Mode is governed by the Flight Gauge, which drains while Flight Mode is active and only refills (slowly) while Pet Shop is crouching (which can only be done outside of Flight Mode). Pet Shop will automatically drop to the ground once Flight Mode is deactivated or if the Flight Gauge empties, and will also be forced out of Flight Mode early upon taking damage or landing its HHA or GHA.

While in Flight Mode, Pet Shop gains complete maneuverability in midair and stops being considered grounded, making attacks aimed at its lower body miss; Pet Shop also makes use of its grounded normals while flying, and can use "Aerial Dash" infinitely (normally being limited to once per airtime). In return, however, Pet Shop loses the ability to block, Throw, Taunt, Flash Cancel, Stylish Guard, or call an Assist, as well as access to its air normals, "Slam", "Whoosh!", and "Dive".
