Character Sheet: All Gen V Standalones

AUDINO/BASCULIN/MARACTUS/SIGILYPH/EMOLGA/ALOMOMOLA/CRYOGONAL/STUNFISK/DRUDDIGON/BOUFFALANT

And now, let's cover all of the standalone Pokemon in Gen V who are not Legendaries or Mythicals. First up, is Audino, very much the new Chansey, a pink something-or-other with some elements of a nurse to its design, complete with stethoscope ears.

Standard B: Draining Kiss

Side B: Zen Headbutt

Up B: Disarming Voice

Down B: Amnesia

Final Smash: Mega Audino

Next we have Basculin, based on bass and trout and other types of fish known for their upstream migrations in order to spawn. In Gen V, these had two variants in the lines along their sides, one red and one blue.

Standard B: Water Gun

Side B: Bite

Up B: Wave Crash

Down B: Head Smash

Final Smash: Final Gambit

Next we have Maractus, a cactus similar to the Cacturne line, except with elements of maracas and dancers from various South and Central American cultures.

Standard B: Sucker Punch

Side B: Pin Missile

Up B: Petal Dance

Down B: Mega Drain

Final Smash: Solar Beam

Then we have Sigilyph, one of the coolest new Pokemon in overall concept, based on the Nazca lines down in South America, reimagined into a 3D model if all lines and shapes are taken literally as is.

Standard B: Psybeam

Side B: Gust

Up B: Air Cutter

Down B: Reflect

Final Smash: Cosmic Power

Next is our Pikachu clone for the generation in Emolga, based on a flying squirrel this time around.

Standard B: Nuzzle

Side B: Volt Switch

Up B: Air Slash

Down B: Discharge

Final Smash: Thunder

After that, we have Alomomola, another Pokemon that is based on a sunfish, with a pink color scheme and a general emphasis on hearts and love in its theming, but is somehow not(?) an evolution of Luvdisc. My headcanon is that it was planned to be, but then the developers decided they wanted to fully reboot the dex with no returning Pokemon, so they just made it its own thing.

Standard B: Healing Wish

Side B: Helping Hand

Up B: Whirlpool

Down B: Wide Guard

Final Smash: Wish

After that, we have Cryogonal, which is basically just a big living snowflake/ice crystal, with all the fractal shaping and such.

Standard B: Ice Shard

Side B: Aurora Beam

Up B: Icy Wind

Down B: Light Screen

Final Smash: Sheer Cold

Next, we have Stunfisk, based mostly on flounders or general flatfish, with the eyes on one side and everything. They also pull a bit from hidden traps and snares, even more so in the Galarian form.

Standard B: Thunder Shock

Side B: Mud Shot

Up B: Bounce

Down B: Discharge

Final Smash: Earthquake

After that, we have Druddigon, a big standalone dragon based mostly on the red-headed rock agama lizard in its coloration, with a bit pulled in from gargoyles and castle architecture.

Standard B: Dragon Claw

Side B: Iron Head

Up B: Slash

Down B: Dragon Tail

Final Smash: Outrage

And finally we have Bouffalant, based primarily on American Bison, with a bit of longhorn steer thrown in. Basically, another one of those with a clear "American" concept, explaining its placement right next to Braviary. I guess you could say it's the new Tauros.

Standard B: Horn Attack

Side B: Head Charge

Up B: Fury Attack

Down B: Reversal

Final Smash: Giga Impact

Entrance would be Poke Ball for all. Taunts would be based on their individual concepts. Kirby hats would be Audino ears, Basculin fins, Maractus head cacti, Sigilyph patterning and wings, Emolga ears, Alomomola fins, Cryogonal crystals, Stunfisk fins, Druddigon head crusties, and Bouffalant afro. Kart would mostly be the Poke Ball car, except for the fast ones or fliers, with their most iconic move. Spirit Battles would be whichever of the six Gen V stages fit them best. Victory Screens would be based on their individual theming, and losing screens would all be fainted. Color swaps is mostly the main and shinies for all, except in cases where there are variants, like Basculin.
