Character Sheet: The Pawmi Line

PAWMI/PAWMO/PAWMOT

Next, we have our Pikachu clones of the generation, strangely the first line of them that aren’t standalones since Gen I. Also, the least in need of more evolutions since the differences between the three are negligible at best. They are based on marmots, with little pads on their paws that act as defibrillators.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Thunder Shock > Double Shock (III)

 

Side B: Nuzzle > Arm Thrust (II) > Close Combat (III)

 

Up B: Quick Attack > Slam (II)

 

Down B: Dig > Revival Blessing (III)

 

Final Smash: Electric Tera-Type Double Shock

 

Entrance: Poke Ball

 

Taunts: Scurrying around, cleaning its face like rodents do, rubbing its defibrillators together, things like that.

 

Kirby Hat: Their ears

 

Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Arm Thrust

 

Spirit Battle: On Naranja/Uva Academy

 

Victory Screen: Rubbing its face and causing a spark in the process.

Losing Screen: Fainted

 

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors

Character Sheet: The Nymble Line

NYMBLE/LOKIX

Now, let’s cover our “mean” Regional bugs, Nymble and Lokix, a Bug/Dark line based on crickets, mixed with Kamen Rider. I’ve always found this setup interesting, as normally you’d see the spiders in the “mean” slot and the crickets in the “nice” slot.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Bug Bite > Throat Chop

 

Side B: Double Kick

 

Up B: Struggle Bug > Lunge

 

Down B: Screech > Low Kick

Losing Screen: Fainted

 

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors

Character Sheet: The Tarountula Line

TAROUNTULA/SPIDOPS

Next up, we come to the nice Regional bug line of the generation, Tarountula and Spidops. They are pretty basic spiders with their webs wrapped around themselves as a ball of yarn and a spool of thread. Spidops also has some spy elements, I think.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Bug Bite

 

Side B: String Shot > Sticky Web

 

Up B: Struggle Bug > Circle Throw

 

Down B: Block > Silk Trap

Character Sheet: The Lechonk Line

LECHONK/OINKOLOGNE

Now, we come to . . . I guess the regional critter of the generation, Lechonk and Oinkologne. At least, it feels like it’s supposed to be the critter. Normally, the critters are rodents or mustelids, not ungulates? I suppose Tandemaus might be? And Lechonk is this generation’s Wooloo? I don’t know. I’m probably overthinking it. Anyway, they’re based on pigs with some perfume tossed in with Oinkologne’s design.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Mud Shot > Headbutt

 

Side B: Tail Whip

 

Up B: Disarming Voice > Uproar

 

Down B: Dig > Earth Power

 

Final Smash: Normal Tera-Type Tail Whip

Spirit Battle: On Pokopia

 

Victory Screen: Hopping around happily and oinking a lot.

Losing Screen: Fainted

Thanks for reading! Next up, Tarountula spins its web!

Character Sheet: The Quaxly Line

QUAXLY/QUAXWELL/QUAQUAVAL

And now, we come to the Water Starters of Paldea: Quaxly, Quaxwell, and Quaquaval. It starts out as a little duck sailor, reminiscent of Donald Duck, and grows up into a flamboyant peacock dancer that pulls heavily from the Brazilian festival Carnivale.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Water Gun > Wave Crash (II)

 

Side B: Aqua Jet > Aqua Cutter (II)

 

Up B: Wing Attack > Air Slash (II) > Aqua Step (III)

Character Sheet: The Fuecoco Line

FUECOCO/CROCALOR/SKELEDIRGE

Next, we come to the Fire Starters of Paldea: Fuecoco, Crocalor, and Skeledirge. They are mainly based on crocodiles, as well as peppers, various forms of stereotypical Mexican imagery, music, and the Day of the Dead. There’s also a little flame bird based on an oxpecker that spawns on its head.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Bite > Shadow Ball (III)

 

Side B: Ember > Flamethrower (II) > Fire Blast (III)

 

Up B: Incinerate

Spirit Battle: On Naranja/Uva Academy

 

Victory Screen: Performing its grand finale then bowing as the bird dances around.

Character Sheet: The Sprigatito Line

SPRIGATITO/FLORAGATO/MEOWSCARADA

And now, let’s start up our ninth generation PokeDex with our grass starter for the generation: Sprigatito, Floragato, and Meowscarada. They start out as a cat with the fleur-de-lis (not a marijuana leaf) on its face, developing and gaining aspects of characters like Puss in Boots and Harlequin, as well as Mardi Gras in general, tying it with its fellow starters who all pull from various cultural celebrations throughout the Americas.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Scratch > Slash (II) > Energy Ball (III)

 

Side B: Magical Leaf > Flower Trick (III)

 

Up B: Quick Attack > Leaf Storm (III)

 

Down B: Leafage > Seed Bomb (II)

 

Final Smash: Grass Tera-Type Flower Trick

The basic thought behind this is that I don't want to leave out Terastallization, so I picked a move I would have assigned to them as Final Smash anyway, and then just Terastallized them into the move's typing (same type as them or not), so you get that extra boost to it.

 

Entrance: Poke Ball

 

Taunts: Doing some cat things like licking itself, performing some tricks with its flower, -looking high-, things like that.

 

Kirby Hat: Their leaf masks

 

Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Flower Trick

 

Spirit Battle: On Hotel Z

 

Victory Screen: Doing a little jester dance with its flower and bowing.

Losing Screen: Fainted

 

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors
