  1. So for my region I’m having trouble coming up with this mon:
    It’s supposed to be the main Pokemon for my villainous team leader, but its intended to also be a pseudo-legendary (like Ghetsis’s Hydregion). I was originally thinking about it being a european dragon that is either Electric/Dragon or Electric/Dark, but I eventually got lost on what it should be. Anyone have any idea what the design and concept this Pokemon should be?

  2. I think I got really lucky when I went to get Cosmog while I completed my dex, not sure if its one of those where you don’t have to SR but I ended up getting an Adamant one on the first try, wasn’t gonna search for natures till I play my Moon copy since the tapu’s were a pain to catch

  3. Thanks to @MalachiteCat:disqus, I figured out my other pseudo.
    The Thunderstorm Pokemon
    Type: Electric/Dark
    Ability: Tempest (Summons a weather condition that boosts Electric and Dark moves and makes evasion moves fail)
    Height: 11′ 00″
    Weight: 248.1 lbs
    Dex Entry: People should beware this Pokemon. It summons a darkening thunderstorm that frightens all in the area, including those with a brave heart are stirred. A nest of these Pokemon cause storms to go on all month.

    Edit: Also thanks to Earthen, this mon is now called Sinistorm

    Toxapex
    Electric/Dark pseudo
    and 3 more Pokemon, probably one more thats an old gen mon and the other two new ones.

  6. Grimmp (Placeholder for now – taking suggestions)

    Dark/Fairy
    The Imp Pokemon
    Ability:
    Magic Guard/Magic Bounce/Prankster

    Evolves from imp to a gargoyle (Three Stages)

    Dex Entry:

    Despite its diminutive stature, Grimmps are notorious for causing a lot of damage with their diabolical, playful nature.

    Grimmps, if trained with lots of love, dedication, and patience, are one of the most loyal pokemon.

          • 😛 Well, this little guy is my own personal starter so he’s gotta be OP-status. Lol The other starters I made do get exclusive abilities, though. ( Because Torrent, Blaze, overgrow suck sooooo much… lol)

          • Okay! I haven’t drawn yet either, I just meant concepts
            My favorite isn’t done yet but..
            Grass Starter:

            Pokedex Entry: 3
            Florjaw (Flora-Jaw)
            Classification: Grassy Pup Pokemon
            Height: 1’08
            Weight: 20.6 Lbs
            Typing: Grass
            Ability: Overgrow (Hidden Ability: Battle Hungry)
            Stats:
            HP: 50
            Attack: 70
            Defense: 60
            Special Attack: 30
            Special Defense: 60
            Speed: 50
            Base Stat Total: 320
            Pokedex Entry: Florajaws are frequently found deep within forests nibbling on trees to sharpen their fangs. In the event that you desire one as a pet, it is advised that you teach it to not bite you and buy a few things for it to chew on. Rocks tend to work best for this job. It also tends to yap a lot and will likely keep you awake at night. They list their trainer as a pack leader.

            Pokedex Entry: 2
            Vernafang (Vernal-Fang)
            Classification: Forest Canine Pokemon
            Height: 2’07
            Weight: 88.3 Lbs
            Typing: Grass/Rock
            Ability: Overgrow (Hidden Ability: Battle Hungry)
            Stats:
            HP: 70
            Attack: 90
            Defense: 80
            Special Attack: 45
            Special Defense: 80
            Speed: 60
            Base Stat Total: 425
            Pokedex Entry: This stage is considered the most troublesome for its trainers. Vernafang may attack unprovoked or even flat out detach itself from its trainer during this stage. This leads to this pokemon being frequently abandoned due to trainers being fed up of its antics. Despite this, some cases are a lot less severe. In some cases the opposite occurs and the pokemon becomes too clingy to its trainer. Finally, in all cases, this pokemon begins to demonstrate a lot more hunting related traits during this stage. One can examine its life by studying how it hunts.
            Pokedex Entry: 3
            Verdarimal (Verdant-Primal)
            Classification: Apex Hunter Pokemon
            Height: 5’01
            Weight: 198.6 Lbs
            Typing: Grass/Rock
            Ability: Overgrow (Hidden Ability: Battle Hungry)
            Stats:
            HP: 80
            Attack: 110
            Defense: 100
            Special Attack: 60
            Special Defense: 100
            Speed: 80
            Base Stat Total: 530
            Pokedex Entry: Verdarimal is a pokemon that was frequently paired with hunters in the past. The sense of smell it has along with the ability to see well in the dark made it a terrifying hunter. The amount of time it spent with humans changed its hunting from just a survival topic to a recreational activity for it. Despite this it is very friendly toward a human it has bonded with. It is known to have a hatred for Midnight Lycanroc due to its underhanded tactics and competitive nature.

            Pokedex Entry: 3
            Mega Verdarimal
            Classification: Apex Hunter Pokemon
            Height: 6’03
            Weight: 213.3 Lbs
            Typing: Grass/Rock
            Ability: Battle Hungry
            Stats:
            HP: 80
            Attack: 160
            Defense: 120
            Special Attack: 70
            Special Defense: 120
            Speed: 80
            Base Stat Total: 630
            Pokedex Entry: Rather than instinctively hunting, it learns to trust the bond it possesses with its trainer to be the logic it lacks. It enjoys fighting and gets more revved up the longer the fight lasts. For an inexperienced trainer, these more hyperactive states can be a terrifying sequence.

        • So I’ve decided on it’s stats >:D
          Since its a fakemon near and dear to me it is OP, but whatever. Lol

          Hp 140
          Atk 65 (+35 mega)
          Def 150 (+15 mega)
          Sp. A 85 (+35 mega)
          Sp. Def 150 (+15 mega)
          Spd 10

          Guardian(boosts Def and Sp.D by 50% if the pokemon goes last in the turn. It’s a buff that only applies to that turn. So if he’s last in every move he gets the buff, but the moment he goes first he loses the buff until he goes last again)/Nightwing(Basically Solid Rock + Magic guard.)

          Evil, I know.

      • Sorry Grimgoyl is taken
        Grimgoyl
        The Gothic Pkm
        Rock/Flying
        Intimidate HA: Dry Skin
        A large intimidating Stone Pokemon with various features, head of a goblin, lion mane, ox body and large wings with large imposing horns

        “Despite their frightening appearance Grimgoyl are actually protective and loyal, During the night they scour the skies for threats, but morning they slow down and perch uptop homes and cliffs and watch the world”

      • I thought the magic abilities would help with the gargoyle skin, but I think I’ll come up with a unique defensive-based ability for it.

        Reply
        • Maybe give it wonder guard? Or some thing like it? Mithril skin like wonder guard but provides protection against super effective attacks and status conditions?

          Reply
          • Maybe that too would be nice. I had two I was thinking about. Guardian which I posted above and a combination of Magic Guard and Solid Rock.

          • I was thinking “Guardian” which if the pokemon hasn’t attacked yet in that turn its Sp.D and Def are raised by 50%.(one time buff, constant if you’re always going last, regained by going last again in a turn) Something OP like that, but easily countered by speed mechanics.

      • I was also thinking of removing the extra “m”, but I wanted to keep the Grimm for the Grimm brother’s fairytales. I mean how can you beat “Grimm” for a dark/fairy type. It’s perfect, but the loss of the “m” might make it look aesthetically more appealing. ?

  7. Finally got all the Zygarde Cores and Cells, that was a mission and a half. Next stop is beating the league again (which will also get me a bit of dolla so I can continue buying all the clothes. Just need to get the stuff at the flea market then the expensive stuff in the Mall which will take me a while.)
    Also gotta get all the Plates/Legendary items and see if I have all the TMs.
    I do enjoy collecting all the things that I can, gives me such pleasure when I accomplish it

  9. Since I gots Fakemons on the brain I thought I’d share my three staged Ghost Pokemon

    Spectini
    Ghost
    The Wisp Pkm
    Ethereal Body (Evasiveness is increased by 10%)
    A tiny grey white phantasmal Pokemon with a long hood with bright yellow eyes inside the hood, and tiny nub hands and a tiny tail
    “Spectini wander endlessly until they find a person it shares its aura with, when it finds a match they will follow them endlessly some say Spectini have been found following infants”
    Then it becomes the less endearing Ghostalker
    Ghostalker
    Ghost
    The Creeping Pokemon
    Ethereal Body
    A phantom Pokemon with a long wispy hood and bright orange eyes, their bodies a long and thin with long sleeves outstretched to glide upon, their ghostly tail is always stuck to the ground
    “Ghostalker follow people relentlessly with mysterious intentions, researchers fail to understand why Ghostalker do so, when people try to outrun them they screech loudly and desperately try to follow”
    Finally this ghost’s intentions are clear when it evolves into the terrifying Greaper
    Greaper
    Ghost/Steel
    Ethereal Body
    The Presage Pokemon
    A large phantom Pokemon with a black and grey sheet like body with the same long hood that coils like spiral, their eyes are now red and a large pair of horns that resemble crescent moons, their body is a tattered cloak with long arms equipped with long sickle like claws, their ghostly tail holds a long metal sickle at the end that it
    “Greaper is a Pokemon feared by all, they dwell in the darkness preying on the weak and near doomed, their hoods coil loosens and tightens based on how much life force a person has left”

  10. Uh, why the heck are there ‘Workin’ Moms’ trailers every time I watch a Pokemon video? Is it because I bred and hatched a ton of babies?

      • Yeah that’s the better choice for certain, though honestly I would probably run Lele with a Z-move since you could easily lock yourself into psychic and automatically lose against a Dark type.

        Reply
        • Good point, though there’s some mitigating factors here.

          If it’s VGC, in my experience there’s hardly any dark types out there getting used, the only real significant one in play is Alolan Muk, and it counters Tapus anyway. If it’s singles, there should be other teammates present still before locking in Psychic, otherwise there’s always the choice of Moonblast to get locked into.
