Character Sheet: The Silicobra Line

SILICOBRA/SANDACONDA

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

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

Kirby Hat: A load of coal on his back

 

Kart: A minecart

Special Move: Smokescreen

 

Spirit Battle: On Motostoke City

 

Victory Screen: Burning hot and spewing smoke into the air

Losing Screen: Fainted

 

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors

 

Thanks for reading! Next up, an Applin a day keeps the challenger away!

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.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Spark

 

Side B: Nuzzle > Wild Charge

 

Up B: Charm

 

Down B: Tail Whip > Electric Terrain

 

Final Smash: Dynamax

 

Entrance: Poke Ball

Losing Screen: Fainted

Thanks for reading! Next up, Rolycoly presses the competition into a diamond!

Character Sheet: The Chewtle Line

CHEWTLE/DREDNAW

Next up, we have Chewtle and Drednaw, which are primarily based on snapping turtle, with maybe a little bit of vice grip or bear trap thrown in, as is the case with most fantastical depictions of snapping turtles. The Gigantamax form of Drednaw also seems to pull from a battleship.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Bite > Crunch

 

Side B: Water Gun > Rock Tomb

 

Up B: Headbutt > Head Smash

 

Down B: Withdraw

WOOLOO/DUBWOOL

After that, we have Wooloo and Dubwool, which are sheep. Pretty much just literally sheep. Dubwool does seem to have some soccer ball markings on it, but that’s about it from there.

Standard B: Headbutt

 

Side B: Double Kick > Double Edge

 

Up B: Take Down

Victory Screen: Baaing triumphantly, then going back to grazing.

Losing Screen: Fainted

 

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors

 

Thanks for reading! Next up, Chewtle snaps the competition in half!
