  2. Speaking of Fakemon, I’m planning to completely redo my region and Dex. Although I did like making Selos based off of Sweden/Norway, I just found a better location that I could base my region around that would be refreshing for me.

  7. So movie 20 is coming out in November (5th and 6th in cinemas) so Marshadow and the Ash Hatchus may be out early November/late October. Think the Chus will come out before the movie tho, like six weeks before so all six can be distributed and then the USUM exclusive movie hat Pikachu will come out afterwards

    Marshadow should be out soon too tbh

  12. Pokedex Number: 22
    Marvineon (Marvelous-Lumineon)
    Classification: The Light Kite Pokemon
    Height: 6’07
    Weight: 64.3 Lbs
    Type: Water/Flying
    Ability: Multiscale/Illuminate (Hidden Ability: Marvel Scale)
    Stats:
    HP: 80
    Attack: 69
    Defense: 85
    Special Attack: 91
    Special Defense: 100
    Speed: 120
    Base Stat Total: 545
    Pokedex Entry: Marvineon’s six fins help it swim at high speeds but also allow it to zoom through the sky for extended periods of time. Due to their intense glow and tendency to glide above the water, they have gained the name “Ocean Beams.” This said glow is so powerful that they frequently outshine lighthouses.
    Evolves from: Lumineon when exposed to a Shiny Stone

    Notes:
    A majority of this height increase is due its tail length. Its tail becomes a lot more kite like in shape and its six fins spread out and gain a somewhat feathery appearance. It gains a few pink spots, such as on its forehead and its pink spots tend to be where the glow comes from. On a shiny Marvineon, the blue and pink spots are reversed. Additionally, the blue spots become the source of its glow.

  15. Pokedex Number: 45
    Harpring (Harpy-String)
    Classification: The Harp Pokemon
    Height: 1’02
    Weight: 5.3 Lbs
    Type: Flying
    Ability: Keen Eye/Gale Wings (Hidden Ability: Resonance)
    Stats:
    HP: 25
    Attack: 25
    Defense: 35
    Special Attack: 65
    Special Defense: 45
    Speed: 75
    Base Stat Total: 260
    Pokedex Entry: Although it possess wings, it is extremely poor at flying due to the weight of its wings compared to the rest of its body. It can run quite fast and is good at escaping danger. It is known for the sweet sound that plays through its harp-like wings as it runs. If it is cornered, it will create a shrill sound from its wings whilst screeching in order to harm its offender and call for backup.
    Evolves at: Level 19

    Pokedex Number: 46
    Harbilee (Harpy-Jubilee)
    Classification: The Innocence Pokemon
    Height: 3’01
    Weight: 65.3 Lbs
    Type: Flying
    Ability: Keen Eye/Gale Wings (Hidden Ability: Resonance)
    Stats:
    HP: 40
    Attack: 40
    Defense: 50
    Special Attack: 85
    Special Defense: 50
    Speed: 95
    Base Stat Total: 360
    Pokedex Entry: Harbilee is an extremely friendly and carefree Pokemon. No matter what happens to it, it will never turn violent due to its own will. This unfortunately leads to it becoming an easy target for malicious Pokemon and people who desire its food or its valuable string-like feathers. It will never fight back when it is abused but it will never forget its abusers. When it become filled with enough anger, it will patiently wait for to evolve…
    Evolves: When it learns Punishment (Level 38)

    Pokedex Number: 47
    Harpunish (Kinda self explanitory, wouldn’t ya say?)
    Classification: The Grudge Pokemon
    Height: 6’07
    Weight: 129.4 Lbs
    Type: Flying/Dark
    Ability: Vengeful (Hidden Ability: Resonance)
    Stats:
    HP: 71
    Attack: 90
    Defense: 78
    Special Attack: 115
    Special Defense: 78
    Speed: 63
    Base Stat Total: 495
    Pokedex Entry: This Pokemon remembers any suffering it experienced in its life and will hunt down anyone who had wronged it. A victim will be alerted by its presence when they hear the sinister tune that comes from its wings as it descends. If it happens to evolve without holding a grudge, it will instead fight to take revenge for other Pokemon that have been wronged in the past.
    Evolves from: Harbilee when it learns punishment (Level 38)

    Vengeful: If this Pokemon took damage within the current turn, its attack will do double damage for the turn.

    Blasting Volume: The user’s sound based moves do 1.5x times damage. Additionally, sound related moves that hit multiple foes do 1.0x damage.

    Notes:
    The entire line is based on harpies with literal harps for wings. In their previous forms they have a mostly white and baby blue color scheme but will gain a greyish and navy blue coloring when they fully evolve. In their first two stages they will frequently have their wings spread open but will tend to cloak themselves with their harp wings after becoming Harpunish. Interestingly enough, Harpunish only needs one of its wings to actually fly.

    Additional note: Blasting Volume is not a signature ability, it’s just the first Pokemon I’ve shown to have it so I’m explaining it here

    • This sounds really good, but I think it’d be better to explain the ability Blasting Volume by saying that ‘sound moves aren’t reduced by spread attacking’, kinda explains it better :p

    • So you want it to be slow so it definitely gets hit? Or maybe hit it with a super weak attack in doubles?
      Seems like a cool line. I hope the wings feel natural to the design, not just stuck on.
      I was thinking of a Harpy Eagle Pokemon but then I thought that’s probably what Staraptor is meant to be.

      • Oh crap I overlooked the doubles part… may wanna balance that out

        Oh the wings definitely will for the first two, the feathers are string like and it literally strums them. Kinda in a Decidueye-esque way
        The third one may look weird due to its posture but I hope not

  17. Pokedex Number: 99
    Tuneitini (Tiny and Tune, play on Teeny Tiny)
    Classification: The Tiny Wing Pokemon
    Height: 0’04
    Weight: 0.02 Lbs
    Type: Fairy/Flying
    Ability: Serene Grace/Speed Boost (Hidden Ability: Sap Sipper)
    Stats:
    HP: 10
    Attack: 5
    Defense: 10
    Special Attack: 70
    Special Defense: 25
    Speed: 110
    Base Stat Total: 230
    Pokedex Entry: Tuneitini are among the smallest Pokemon and are considered to be extremely cute. They are commonly found within gardens sipping on the nectar of plants. They tend to make a sweet sounding whistle noise as the dart about. Contrary to this sweet appearance, they will brutally hunt down and consume Cutieflies that come close to its nectar.
    Evolves at: Level 19

    Pokedex Number: 100
    Humivibri (Humming-Vibrate)
    Classification: The Fairy Bird Pokemon
    Height: 1’00
    Weight: 2.2 Lbs
    Type: Fairy/Flying
    Ability: Serene Grace/Speed Boost (Hidden Ability: Sap Sipper)
    Stats:
    HP: 20
    Attack: 10
    Defense: 20
    Special Attack: 90
    Special Defense: 50
    Speed: 130
    Base Stat Total: 320
    Pokedex Entry: As it flies, its wings move at an unbelievably fast pace that allows it to travel miles in mere minutes. In order to satisfy the amount of energy it uses to fly, it consumes large amounts of nectar and Ribombee per day. It’s coloration will become more vibrant as it gets closer to evolving. Additionally, it will begin to require more nourishment.
    Evolves: When it learns Fiery Dance (Level 38)

    Pokedex Number: 101
    Solaphony (Solar-Symphony)
    Classification: The Sunbird Pokemon
    Height: 3’11
    Weight: 9.3 Lbs
    Type: Fairy/Fire
    Ability: Serene Grace/Channeler (Hidden Ability: Drought)
    Stats:
    HP: 45
    Attack: 30
    Defense: 40
    Special Attack: 130
    Special Defense: 80
    Speed: 170
    Base Stat Total: 495
    Pokedex Entry: Moments before it evolves, it will fly upwards at sunrise before encasing itself in a cocoon of light that bursts with a radiant flash as it hums a beautiful tune. This phenomenon is referred to as a “Double sunrise” due to the amount of light it emits. The flames that engulf its body are painless to all it does not desire to attack. Legends state that its burning feathers can be used to communicate with the dead.
    Evolves from: Hummivibri after learning Fiery Dance (Level 38)

    Channeler: Ghost type attacks act as STAB moves for the user.

    Note: There IS some lore to this believe it or not. Two of the myths involving hummingbirds in Mayan culture are that…

    The hummingbird is the sun in disguise who is trying woo the moon.
    Hummingbirds would piece the tongues of kings, which when poured on ancient scrolls and burned, ancient spirits would appear.

    To reference this, Solaphony has wings that resemble sunbeams and when they all are together, resemble the sun. Additionally, its eight tails all have feathers with a scroll/spell tag-esque shape to mimic the sacred scroll. (Ideally they’d say the word Sun in Kanji on them but I’m trash so….)

    This thing…. dies to priority so fast xD
    And trust me, there’s a lotta ways to kill this thing, so don’t worry about those stats for a moment

    Also it’s meant to be Harpunish’s counterpart
