Character Sheet: Azurill and Wynaut

AZURILL/WYNAUT

And now, we come to our new evos of the generation, specifically only two new baby forms for Pokemon from Gen II. The Marill line gained Azurill, a baby mouse that’s only a Normal type, and Wobbuffet gained Wynaut, with a punny name tied to Wobbuffet’s Japanese name that got lost in translation.

Here is Azurill’s moveset:

Standard B: Splash

Side B: Charm

Up B: Bounce

Down B: Tail Whip

Final Smash: Mega Bounce

And here is Wynaut’s moveset:

Standard B: Counter

Side B: Mirror Coat

Up B: Encore

Down B: Safeguard

Final Smash: Destiny Bond

Entrances would be Poke Balls, taunts would be similar to the rest of their lines, Kirby hats would be the tops of their heads, karts would be the Poke Ball car with Bounce and Counter as their special moves, the spirit battles would probably be on Special Storage (since that’s where I’ve put most of the “cute” ones, they fit Trozei’s vibe), their victory screens would be them bouncing around happily, losing screens are the fainted dizzy eyes, and their color swaps would be their mains and shinies as always.

That’s about it! Next up, Regirock awakens from its slumber!

Character Sheet: All Gen III Standalones

NOSEPASS/SABLEYE/MAWILE/ROSELIA/TORKOAL/SPINDA/CASTFORM/KECLEON/TROPIUS/CHIMECHO/ABSOL/RELICANTH/LUVDISC

And now, let’s go back through Gen 3 and cover all the standalones in one single batch. First, we have Nosepass, based on the Moai from Easter Island, but also on a compass with its nose always pointing north.

Standard B: Rock Throw

Side B: Spark

Up B: Rock Slide

Down B: Harden

Final Smash: True North Magnetic Pull

Next is Sableye, based on a little goblin or gremlin that likes to steal and horde gemstones, to the point that its eyes are gemstones, sort of like heart-eyes in movies.

Standard B: Shadow Claw

Side B: Power Gem

Up B: Shadow Sneak

Down B: Night Shade

Final Smash: Mega Sableye 

Then, we have Mawile, based on the futakuchi-onna from Japanese folklore, basically a ghostly woman with a mouth on the back of her head. There’s also a bit of bear trap in there, hence the Steel-typing.

Standard B: Crunch

Side B: Iron Head

Up B: Fairy Wind

Down B: Iron Defense

Final Smash: Mega Mawile

Next is Roselia, based on a rose mixed with a beautiful young maiden, so about what you’d expect from a rose-based Pokemon.

Standard B: Magical Leaf

Side B: Toxic Spikes

Up B: Petal Dance

Down B: Mega Drain

Final Smash: Petal Blizzard

Next up, we have Torkoal, basically a tortoise, but made up of coal and fire. Not much to say here, outside of me just generally loving the derpy little guy.

Standard B: Lava Plume

Side B: Flame Wheel

Up B: Smokescreen

Down B: Iron Defense

Final Smash: Eruption

Then, we have Spinda, a little red panda that is perpetually spinning and dizzy. It also has a unique mechanic going on with its spots in that no two are ever alike.

Standard B: Hypnosis

Side B: Body Slam

Up B: Teeter Dance

Down B: Sucker Punch

Final Smash: Everybody Topsy-Turvy

Next is Castform, a little weather cloud/H2O molecule, that changes forms and typings based on the external weather, including a Fire Sunny Forme, a Water Rainy Forme, and an Ice Snowy Forme.

Standard B: Weather Ball/Ember/Water Gun/Powder Snow

Side B: Rain Dance

Up B: Rain Dance/Sunny Day/Hail

Down B: Change Forme

Final Smash: Hurricane

Then, we have Kecleon, a chameleon. And that’s really about it. It’s kinda the new Snorlax in that it blocks your path in certain areas.

Standard B: Lick

Side B: Fury Swipes

Up B: Shadow Sneak

Down B: Substitute

Final Smash: Invisible Swarm

Next is Tropius, a sauropod dinosaur mixed with a banana tree that is apparently Flying type because of its big banana leaf wings.

Standard B: Leaf Storm

Side B: Air Slash

Up B: Body Slam

Down B: Stomp

Final Smash: Solar Beam

Then, we have Chimecho, a little ceramic wind chime and/or a furin like the ones you hang wishes on during the Japanese summer festival.

Standard B: Heal Bell

Side B: Confusion

Up B: Yawn

Down B: Stored Power

Final Smash: Healing Wish

Next is Absol, a Pokemon that almost feels like a Legendary, a Hot Topic-looking cat creature that can sense when disasters are about to occur, but because it always appears to try and warn humans about it, humans came to view it as a bad omen and the cause of said disasters.

Standard B: Night Slash

Side B: Sucker Punch

Up B: Detect

Down B: Double Team

Final Smash: Mega Absol

Next, we have Relicanth, kind of an honorary fossil Pokemon, based on the coelacanth, a fish long thought extinct until it was discovered in the 1930s.

Standard B: Water Gun

Side B: Head Smash

Up B: Dive

Down B: Ancient Power

Final Smash: Dragged into the Depths

And finally, we have Luvdisc, a sunfish Pokemon shaped like a generic heart. And that’s pretty much it.

Standard B: Water Gun

Side B: Draining Kiss

Up B: Aqua Ring

Down B: Charm

Final Smash: Pokemon Contest Finale

And that’s pretty much it. Entrances would all be the Poke Balls. Taunts would all be based on their general concepts. Kirby Hats would include Nosepass’s nose, Sableye’s eyes, Mawile’s mouth, Roselia’s thorns, Torkoal’s shell, Spinda’s ears and spots, Castform’s cloudy wisps, Kecleon’s fin things, Tropius’s leaf helmet thing, Chimecho’s bell thing, Absol’s hair and scythe, Relicanth’s face, and Luvdisc’s . . . Um, maybe just a heart taped to a bandana? Karts would mostly be the Poke Ball car with their most iconic move, Spirit Battles would be in Gen III locations that most fit their vibes, Victory Screens would be tied to their vibes and Losing Screens would mostly be them fainted (wonder if it should be different for Spinda?), and their color swaps would mostly be their mains and shinies, with other general colors unless there is any notable alternate colors, like that one purple Kecleon.

Thanks for reading! Next up, why not let Azurill and Wynaut join?

Character Sheet: The Beldum Line

BELDUM/METANG/METAGROSS

Next up, we have a second batch of Pseudo-Legendaries, the Metagross line, based on automatons and mechs of various types (when I was young, I thought they were supposed to combine like a megazord, with Metang as the top, Metagross as the legs, and Beldum as a weapon arm, but no one else seems to see it, so . . . ). Either way, they are a very popular line, though famously Beldum can only learn one move across most generations, and most of the time, can’t even learn TMs. So, it will be a Poke Ball Pokemon, with it coming out and using Take Down on the nearest opponent it sees.

Here’s the moveset I came up with for the latter two:

Standard B: Flash Cannon > Hyper Beam

Side B: Metal Claw

Up B: Magnet Rise

Down B: Confusion > Iron Defense

Final Smash: Hyper Beam > Mega Metagross

Entrance: Poke Ball

Taunts: Rising into the air, clanking around, beeping, things like that.

Kirby Hat: Their heads as helmets.

Kart: Just flying

Special Move: Take Down

Spirit Battle: On Mt. Battle

Victory Screen: Posing like a robotic mecha from a tokusatsu series.

Losing Screen: Fainted

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we’ve go back and cover all of our standalones. First, Nosepass points the way!

Character Sheet: The Bagon Line

BAGON/SHELGON/SALAMENCE

Next up, skipping past a couple more fish (because Hoenn had a lot of those), we come to the first of our Pseudo-Legendary lines. Now, technically, I went and did all the standalones before the Pseudos before, but that is because those Pseudos came post-Legendaries for some reason. Here, we’re doing them with the others. Bagon, Shelgon, and Salamence are our standard dragons, with Bagon being a little wingless baby dragon who wishes to fly so hard it goes into a weird cocoon state and comes out with wings.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Dragon Breath > Outrage (III)

Side B: Headbutt > Zen Headbutt (II)

Up B: Dragon Claw > Fly (III)

Down B: Crunch > Protect (II) > Dragon Tail (III)

Final Smash: Outrage > Mega Salamence (III)

Entrance: Poke Ball

Taunts: Trying to act tough, and then actually being tough and roaring and stuff.

Kirby Hat: The rock shells for the first two, then the head for the last.

Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Outrage

Spirit Battle: On Sky Pillar

Victory Screen: Roaring against the moon as a backdrop.

Losing Screen: Fainted.

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors.

Thanks for reading! Next up, Beldum takes down its next opponent!

Character Sheet: The Clamperl Line

CLAMPERL/HUNTAIL/GOREBYSS

Next up, we come to an odd little line that starts out as a clam (or, I guess, an egg using a clam as a nest?), but then can evolve into one of two sea serpents: Huntail, who is ugly and monstrous-looking but not as bad, or Gorebyss, who is beautiful and majestic but also the true monster between the two in terms of its hunting habits.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Water Gun > Hydro Pump

Side B: Shell Smash > Ice Fang | Draining Kiss

Up B: Whirlpool > Dive

Down B: Iron Defense > Aqua Tail | Amnesia

Up B: Twin Serpents

Entrance: Poke Ball

Taunts: Sleeping and clamping its shell for Clamperl, swimming around and dancing a bit for the other two.

Kirby Hat: The shell for Clamperl, the fins for the serpents.

Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Dive

Spirit Battle: On Battle Frontier

Victory Screen: Leaping into the air and then diving into the deep.

Losing Screen: Fainted.

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors.

Thanks for reading! Next up, Bagon prepares to take flight!

Character Sheet: The Spheal Line

SPHEAL/SEALEO/WALREIN

Next up, we have Spheal, Sealeo, and Walrein, three Pokemon based on seals, sea lions, and walruses respectively, so basically the three most iconic forms of pinnipeds. Sort of a repeat concept from Seel and Dewgong, but I feel this line does it way better. There’s also a bit of beach ball mixed in there, so that’s fun.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Aurora Beam > Ice Fang (III)

Side B: Rollout > Surf (II)

Up B: Powder Snow >  Blizzard (III)

Down B: Rest > Body Slam (II)

Final Smash: Avalanche Rollout

Entrance: Poke Ball

Taunts: “Orf, orf, orf,” rolling around, clapping its fins, things like that.

Kirby Hat: The tops of their heads.

Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Rollout

Spirit Battle: On Rescue Team Base

Victory Screen: “Orf, orf, orf,” while clapping

Losing Screen: Fainted

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors.

Thanks for reading! Next up, Clamperl clamps down on the competition!

Character Sheet: The Snorunt Line

SNORUNT/GLALIE

Next up, skipping over three standalones and one new evo, we have Snorunt and Glalie, two Ice type Pokemon based on different types of yokai: the Yukinko for Snorunt, and the Oni masks often worn in Kabuki theater for Glalie. They would later get a female split evolution in Froslass, based on the Yuki-onna, but we’ll cover her later.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Frost Breath > Freeze Dry

Side B: Ice Shard > Crunch

Up B: Powder Snow > Blizzard

Down B: Protect

Final Smash: Blizzard > Mega Glalie

Entrance: Poke Ball

Taunts: Shivering, sticking out its tongue, things like that.

Kirby Hat: Their respective “clothes”

Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Frost Breath

Spirit Battle: On Pyrite Colosseum

Victory Screen: Waggling its tongue to make fun of its opponent.

Losing Screen: Fainted

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors.

Thanks for reading! Next up, Spheal seals your fate!
