Mascot Pokémon Showdown: Generation V

by

Hello everybody, we’re bringing you another Mascot Pokémon Showdown. The winner of last time is Giratina with 56%!
Now it’s time for Unova. Generation V released in 2010 in Japan and in 2011 in the rest of the world. This time, the generation consisted of four games: Black, White, Black 2 and White 2, and introduced amazing features, such as seasons, triple and rotation battles and the Pokémon World Tournament

Pokémon Black Version

black_en_boxartPokémon Black featured Reshiram, the Vast White Pokémon. It is a Dragon/Fire Pokémon that contains almost entirely out of fluff. By flaring the enormous engine-like tail, it can move the atmosphere of the world, which changes the weather.

Reshiram is the only Pokëmon known to be able to learn Fusion Flare and Blue Flare. Together with Zekrom, they were first shown on the Japanese and English website on the same date, which makes them the first two to be revealed worldwide simultaneously. Its name comes from ‘shiro‘ (白, ‘white’) and ‘re‘, which is just a softer sound than ‘ze‘.

Pokémon White Version

Pokémon White showcased Zekrom, the Deep Black Pokémon, white_en_boxarton its cover. He has a Dragon/Electric-typing with small black wings coming from its shoulders. Like Reshiram, Zekrom has an engine-like tail, but this one produces lightning bolts.

Zekrom has the highest Attack, Defense, and base stat total of all Electric Pokémon. It’s Ken Sugimori’s favorite Pokémon of Generation V. Its name is a combination of ‘kuro‘ (黒, ‘black’) and ‘ze‘, which is just a harder sound than ‘re‘.

Pokémon Black 2 Version

black_2_en_boxartOn the case of Pokémon Black 2 is Black Kyurem, a combination of Kyurem and Zekrom. It keeps Zekrom‘s arms, but is much more muscular than it. Its left arm, wing and lower jaw are completely covered in ice.

Black Kyurem has the highest Attack stat of all Ice Pokémon, and together with White Kyurem, it has the highest base stat total of all Ice-type Pokémon. Despite being larger than before it fused, it’s actually lighter than Kyurem. Its name comes from ‘rei‘ (冷, ‘cold’),  ‘kyuurei‘ (急冷, ‘rapid cooling’) and ‘rei‘ (零, ‘zero’).

Pokémon White 2 Version

Unlike all other generations, this generation had 2 upgraded white_2_en_boxartversions instead of one. On the second version, Pokémon White 2, you can see White Kyurem on the cover. This is a fusion of Kyurem and Reshiram. Its right wing, head plume and upper jaw are frozen.

White Kyurem has the highest Special attack stat of all Ice-type Pokémon, and, as mentioned before, the highest base stat total of all of them. It’s also the tallest Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

  7. Yo I have Fakémon

    I recently took Chemistry in school despite having to drop it in my fourth year, as you can tell from the theme.

    Name: Elecalf
    Number:
    Species: Calf Pokémon
    Evolves From: N/A

    Type: Electric
    Ability: Symbiosis/Stamina/Volt Absorb
    Gender Ratio: 50/50
    Dex Entry 1
    This Pokémon exhibits teamwork that rivals that of Passimian’s, putting itself over others and always offering support.

    Dex Entry 2
    They’re one of the slowest chargers in the Pokémon Kingdom, but they can charge non-stop for a day before becoming too tired to move. The females use more energy.

    Attack: 45
    Defense: 65
    Sp. Attack: 45

    Name: Burllock (Bullock + Burgundy)
    Number:
    Species: Red Ox Pokémon
    Evolves From: Elecalf
    Evolves To: N/A
    Type: Electric/Steel
    Ability: Battery/Stamina/Motor Drive
    Gender Ratio: 100% Male
    Dex Entry 1
    The constant reduction and oxidation in Burllock’s body causes it to constantly have an excess of electricity, which it gets rid of through charging for long periods.

    Dex Entry 2
    It is said that if you were to gather a Tauros, a Bouffalant, and a Burllock around a circular track, they’d never stop racing, despite having quite different speed, power and stamina.

    Evolves To: N/A
    Type: Electric/Grass
    Ability: Catalyse/Stamina/Sap Sipper
    Gender Ratio: 100% Female
    Dex Entry 1
    It developed plant material on its body due to the amount of plants it ate to feed its energy output. It can catalyse other Pokémon’s attacks.

    Dex Entry 2
    Despite being a placid, sweet mother, Cattleyst is the head of the family and is responsible for guarding the unit from predators.

    • Cattleyst’s Catalyse ability makes its ally’s two-turn attacks activate in one turn. It’s basically a non-perishable Power Herb for all its allies. Doesn’t work for itself, though.

    • Speaking of bovines
      Shaggalf
      Grass
      Harvest/Sap Sipper HA: Thick Fat
      Yak Calf Pkm
      A pale yellow green calf like Pokemon with a almost tubular furry coat of plant fur highly resembling straw, a large bulbous nose and tiny horns, and for tails somewhat similar to Mareep they have stiff bony tails with two fork like prongs similar to a pitchfork

      And it’s evo Hayakken
      Grass/Ground
      Haystack Pkm
      Harvest/Sap Sipper HA: Thick Fat
      a bigger heavier and dirtier bull like Pokemon, its furry coat is thicker and now has clumps of plant matter and dirt making it extremely well protected from attacks and cold nights, a bulbous nose and their eyes are obscured from matted hair and they have a wheat sprig in their mouths at all times, their horns now have three splices and their tails are bigger and resemble a thick metal rake where it drags it through grassy plains to stockpile food and to fling onto its back for protection

  12. What was that chanting music in S/M? It sounded very African-y. Probably in the central area from the native countries like Uganda or Niger.

  19. So I’m trying to find a razor claw.
    And do you know how you find razor claw?
    Snatch it from a wild Jangmo-o. Easy enough, right?

    WRONG

    Jangmo-o is a 5% encounter. So what? Just run around in the grass for a while.
    BUT when you do find a Jangmo-o, it has ANOTHER 5% chance to hold a razor claw.

    HELP. ;_;

  20. I WAS finding dittos left and right. I WAS having a good time catching them for different natures. I WAS not going to type this out in frustration if kept finding them. where did they go?!?

  21. The fire starter pokemons are following the chinese zodiac pattern

    So far we got: dragon, rat, rooster, monkey, pig, dog and tiger

    Apparently there is still an ox, a horse, a snake, rabbit and sheep pokemon left

    If they keep this pattern, I’d like to see a Fire/Dark Minotaur or a Fire/Ghost Satyr. The rabbit can’t be anything other than Fairy or Fighting and the snake has got to be Poison.

    What do you think?
