SQUAWKABILLY/KLAWF/BOMBIRDIER/ORTHWORM/FLAMIGO/VELUZA
Now, let’s cover all the standalone Pokemon that debuted in
Generation IX. First up, we have Squawkabilly, based on the Quaker parrot,
mixed with greaser punks wearing pompadours.
Standard B: Peck
Side B: Aerial Ace
Up B: Fly
Down B: Roost
Final Smash: Flying Tera-Type Brave Bird
Next, we have the first of our Titan Pokemon that guard the
herbs that Arven sends you to collect in his storyline. Klawf is a large rock
crab that lives on the side of cliffs and blends in until you disturb it.
Standard B: Rock Throw
Side B: Vise Grip
Up B: Guillotine
Down B: Rock Tomb
Final Smash: Titanic Guillotine
Bombirdier is the second of the Titan Pokemon, based
partially on cranes, like the ones that deliver babies, and partially on
secretary birds who will drop rocks on their food to crack it open, with
Bombirdier carrying rocks from their pouches and dropping them like bombs from
above.
Standard B: Rock Slide
Side B: Wing Attack
Up B: Whirlwind
Down B: Rock Tomb
Final Smash: Titanic Rock Tomb
Next, we have the third Titan Pokemon, Orthworm, a giant
Steel-type earthworm mixed with an underground subway train.
Standard B: Iron Head
Side B: Iron Tail
Up B: Dig
Down B: Iron Defense
Final Smash: Titanic Earthquake
Flamigo fills the long-desired flamingo-based Pokemon slot,
though it was met with mostly disappointment, as it is mostly just a flamingo,
with a few little touches like a knot in its neck and its body shaped like a
boxing glove.
Standard B: Double Kick
Side B: Wing Attack
Up B: Air Slash
Down B: Low Kick
Final Smash: Flying Tera-Type Brave Bird
Next up, we have Veluza, a fish Pokemon based on the
European hake, capable of chopping off parts of its body that can be used as
food. It also became rather infamous for being nearly impossible to escape due
to its high speed in certain areas of the game.
Standard B: Psycho Cut
Side B: Aqua Jet
Up B: Night Slash
Down B: Fillet Away
Final Smash: Fighting Tera-Type Final Gambit
They’ll probably all enter via Poke Ball, though the Titans
could have their game entrances. Taunts will be tied to their various themes.
Kirby will have Squawkabilly’s pompadour, Klawf’s claws, Bombirdier’s apron,
Orthworm’s subway segment, Flamigo’s beak, and Veluza’s fins. The karts will be
Squawkabilly, Bombirdier, and Flamigo just flying, while Orthworm and Veluza
would also be just on their own. Klawf would still be in the car. Their moves
will be each’s most iconic move. Squawkabilly can be on Naranja/Uva Academy,
Klawf, Bombirdier, and Orthworm could be on Area Zero, given their role in
Arven’s plot, Flamigo will go to the Champions Arena, and Veluza can be on
Blueberry Academy. Their victory screens are tied to their themes, while their
losing screens are them fainted. And finally, they’d have their main and shiny
colors, Squawkabilly having all four versions.
Thanks for reading! Next up, we have a few regional variants and new evolutions!
