Character Sheet: Pryce

PRYCE

Next up, we have Pryce, the Ice-type gym leader from Mahogany Town, and your pretty standard grumpy old man trope. He’s also (spoilers, I guess) the main villain of the Gold Silver Crystal arc of the manga, trying to get ahold of Celebi to resurrect his lost Swinub. It’s a whole thing. His masked persona there might become its own thing. We’ll see.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Swinub

Probably Icicle Crash

 

Side B: Ice Block

He will push one of the ice blocks from his HGSS gym.

 

Up B: Icy Wind

It is the TM he gives out, and it’s been a lot of my Ice types’ Up B, so . . .

 

Down B: Mask in the Fog

He will create the icy fog around himself that he used in the manga, his masked persona appearing for a second.

 

Final Smash: Mahogany Gym Blizzard

He will summon Piloswine, Sneasel, and Delibird to whip up a snowstorm across the stage.

 

Entrance: His opening pose and line

 

Taunts: Up, he will wave his stick around in annoyance. Side, he will put on his mask for a second. Down, he will sit in a wheelchair and pet his Swinub for a second.

 

Kirby Hat: His hair

 

Kart: Based on a Piloswine

Special Move: Ice Block

 

Spirit Battle: On Mt. Silver (Omega form) with his original team.

 

Victory Screen: Standing over his opponents and holding up a Silver and Rainbow Wing.

Losing Screen: Handing over his badge.

 

Color Swaps: His original outfit, his HGSS outfit, his normal manga appearance, his masked form, based on Swinub, based on Sneasel, based on Delibird, based on Dewgong.

 

Thanks for reading! Next up, Clair fights like a dragon!
