CLAY
Next, we have Clay, the Ground-type gym leader of Driftveil City and the owner of the nearby mine, his gym having a lot of features connected to said mine. There’s a lot to pull from both. His daughter is Lacey from ScarVio’s DLC, so she’s an option if necessary.
Here’s the moveset I came up with:
Standard B: Excadrill
Excadrill with use its Drill Run move.
Side B: Minecart
One of the minecarts from his mine.
Up B: Elevator
One of the mine elevators used in his gym.
Down B: Bulldoze
Obviously the TM he gives out, but I’d like to think he uses
the actual equipment from his mine.
Final Smash: Driftveil Gym Diggers
He will send out Excadrill, Krookodile, and Stunfisk to
cause earthquakes all around the stage.
Entrance: His opening pose and line.
Taunts: Up, he will whistle for his workers. Side, he will
check his watch impatiently. Down, he will dig his pickaxe into the dirt.
Kirby Hat: His hat
Kart: Based on Excadrill
Special Move: Bulldoze
Spirit Battle: On N’s Castle (omega form) with his base
team.
Victory Screen: Wiping his hands and saying “Great work
today, boys!”
Losing Screen: Handing over his badge.
Color Swaps: His standard look, one based on Lian, one based
on Lacey, based on Excadrill, based on Krokorok, based on Krookodile, based on
Stunfisk, based on Golurk.
Thanks for reading! Next up, Skyla takes flight.
