Character Sheet: The Sizzlipede Line

SIZZLIPEDE/CENTISKORCH

From there, we have Sizzlipede and Centiskorch, a Bug/Fire combo line based on centipedes as well as heat radiators and stove coils, and other spiral-shaped heating things that you see in old-timey houses and such. I’ve always felt like the Gigantamax form was also pulling from tapeworms, but no one else ever seems to mention that as an inspiration, so maybe it’s just me.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Bug Bite > Fire Lash

 

Side B: Flame Wheel > Fire Spin

 

Up B: Smokescreen

 

Down B: Wrap

 

Final Smash: Dynamax > Gigantamax Centiskorch

 

Entrance: Poke Ball

 

Taunts: Scampering around, making the little heater formation thing it does, laying out and letting its burners sizzle, things like that.

 

Kirby Hat: Turned red, with a heating coil on his side

 

Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Fire Lash

 

Spirit Battle: On Motostoke City

 

Victory Screen: Roaring as their coils burn bright before scuttling away

Losing Screen: Fainted

 

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors

Next up, we come to Silicobra and Sandaconda, a pair of snake Pokemon who live in sandy deserts. Sandaconda also has a twisting coily body that makes it resemble a tornado or a dust devil laying on its side.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Sand Attack > Sand Tomb

 

Side B: Bulldoze > Coil

 

Up B: Sandstorm

 

Down B: Dig

Character Sheet: The Applin Line

APPLIN/FLAPPLE/APPLETUN

And now, we arrive at possibly one of my favorite overall concepts for a Pokemon ever. Applin and its split evolutions Flapple and Appletun are based on the general concept of a worm in an apple, but instead of a worm, it’s a Wyrm, a type of mythical dragon common to British folklore. It’s a pun and I love it so much. Sadly, Applin knows only Withdraw and Astonish naturally, so as a Poke Ball Pokemon, I’ll probably have it Withdraw to begin with, appearing to simply be an apple like those that appear as food, until someone tries to eat it, at which point it will attack.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Dragon Breath | Headbutt

 

Side B: Acid Spray | Apple Acid

 

Up B: Wing Attack | Body Slam

 

Down B: Grav Apple | Stomp

 

Final Smash: Gigantamax Flapple | Gigantamax Appletun

 

Entrance: Poke Ball

 

Taunts: Trying some of its own apple, tucking into its apple, things like that.

 

Kirby Hat: Their respective apple pieces

 

Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Grav Apple, Apple Acid

 

Spirit Battle: On Pokemon Café

 

Victory Screen: Kids surrounding it and eating off of it.

Losing Screen: Fainted

 

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors (Possibly different apple colorations)

Thanks for reading! Next up, Silicobra sands its regards!

Character Sheet: The Rolycoly Line

ROLYCOLY/CARKOL/COALOSSAL

Next up, we have Rolycoly, Carkol, and Coalossal, a line of Rock/Fire Pokemon based on coal and coal-related items such as minecarts and coal-burning furnaces. It’s a neat concept.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Smack Down > Rock Blast (III)

 

Side B: Rock Polish > Flame Charge (II)

 

Up B: Rapid Spin > Ancient Power (II)

 

Down B: Smokescreen > Stealth Rock (III)

 

Final Smash: Dynamax > Gigantamax Coalossal (III)

 

Entrance: Poke Ball

Special Move: Smokescreen

 

Spirit Battle: On Motostoke City

 

Victory Screen: Burning hot and spewing smoke into the air

Character Sheet: The Yamper Line

YAMPER/BOLTUND

Now, we come to Yamper and Boltund, Electric-type dogs based on corgis and greyhounds, probably the two most iconic breeds of British dogs out there. And that’s basically just what they’re supposed to be.

Side B: Nuzzle > Wild Charge

 

Up B: Charm
