Dugtrio has a base stat total of like 405

Its pretty freaking hard to work a good spread with that low of a number for an alt evo. Munchlax has a freaking BST of 390 in comparison.

Except Dugdozer is an evolution to Dugtrio. The three Digletts that make up the trio evolve together, merging into one being. Hence the 'horns' that represent the bodies of the two 'unused' Digletts.

Other than that, those descriptions are awesome M-K :D I designed Pinchite based off of a tick, so your description is perfect. As for Cromix though, I based the concept on the Onix pokedex entries that state, "when an Onix ages, its rocks harden and smooth into black diamonds," (which is a summation of its entries across the generations).

@flyingfilipino - mind if I take the concept of your drawing and make a few adjustments? I couldn't find a starting place myself, and you certainly have. I have some ideas I'd like to flesh out.
Yeah, I looked back at what I had written for Cromix and I didn't really like it. Next round of Pokemon I will edit it. I figured it'd be more like Black Diamond rather than Ash/Charcoal after I had posted, so it'll change.

I wish others were more adamant about creating stats and movepools for the Pokemon I've made thus far. I would continue if this project was successful in those regards.

Pinchite doesn't really have much differences in movepool comparison to Pinsir, although it should probably learn False Swipe as a level-up move, if it hasn't already. Otherwise just drop Pinsir's level-up moves by 5 or so levels and you're all set.

Well, I'm sure we can think up something.

Pinsir barely learns any Bug moves (I think X-Scissor is like the only one) so we could give it some of those. We could give it something crazy like Megahorn or give it Bug Bite or something.

I have to say Spire, you did an AMAZING job on those pokemon pics in the first link.

So can anyone post pics of their ideas for pokemon evolutions/pre-evolutions of exisitng pokemon or do we decide on it as a group first? (Haven't looked through all 12 pages yet, so I apologize if the answer is somewhere in the middle)

Arbok Evolution:




edit: also, as much as itd be a ripoff of digimon, I think fusion evolution (aka "dna digivolving") would be awesome in pokemon

lol yea I didn't even think of it as that since inbetween each post I took the time to draw a new pic

il chill on that lol

btw cause im bored, all pics were hand drawn, then i took a pic of it with my cell phone camera lol - then cleaned it up in paint shop pro. i colored vesperor because the shine in the gem and eyes looked really awkward as drawn lines.

work on a ditto evolution lol. doesnt require drawing talent, just design ability. i couldnt really think of a good one

as for mechanics the 3 forms of the ditto family would just have different levels of transform or something.

like Copii could have a move called Copy where you copy the defending pokemon's moves, but not their types, form, stats, etc. The the evolution of ditto could have a Duplicate ability or soemthing that makes it transform into a perfect copy of the opponent always, even if they switch out. transforms between turns.

If were going to go this far, and especially with giving new evolutions and prevolutions, I say we mix things up a bit. Obviously we don't need every pokemon to be viable, especially NFE ones, but Copii with all 24 is about as useful as a burned caterpie lol. By adding these pokemon we can adjust already designed pokemon to make them fit in the evolutionary lines better.

Since Ditto is relatively weak as it is, since he's gaining a prevolution, I would suggest bumping Ditto up just a tad to make it a more appropriate stage 1 pokemon. I would think something like straight 40s would be more appropriate for Copii, or even straight 35s.

We can also design how to implement these pokemon into the game. Like perhaps you can't find Copii in the wild but you can get one from breeding 2 ditto together (where as ditto + anything else still becomes anything else).

I also think mixing together some other Pokemon like Arbok evolving into Seviper should be considered. I really don't understand why that isn't the case as it is, especially seeing how the anime made that mistake as well lol

I think Cromix is my favorite so far. That is sooo cool.
Also if we do fusion evolution Dodrio + Exeggutor could be like Exeggork

I think both Ditto and its prevo should be weak, but the prevo should get one extra move that would change Ditto's world completely. Then give the Ditto evo (it's on the list, so it needs to get done) another two moves to learn so that the family isn't entirely transform-centric and has a full four-move stock.

he can only learn it once, unlike smeargle who learns it every 10 levels

meaning that his moveset would be

transform
block
baton pass
*any move*

and no other variation

it's also not a level up move, it would be an egg move (meaning that it cannot be heart scaled) when it is bred with a male smeargle while ditto is holding a Neverstone (new item), which results in Copii having both transform and sketch

it evolves by happiness holding the neverstone

Except you can relearn Sketch over and over with a Heart Scale.

Therefore you can have Spore/Stealth Rock/Filler/Filler. God-lead with Quick Powder.

I know this is currently off-topic so I hope you don't mind, I have an idea for an Electrode evolution, and it goes beyond what I'm capable.

Anyway, long story short, he is considerably larger than electrode, has possibly a different coloured top half, or it can stay white, it doesn't really matter. And the bottom half should be like those electric static ball thingies (that being the scientific term). See below.



Any thoughts?

Make the top half see through, and have that be bolting with electricity. Would work better aesthically in my opinion.

I'm glad it's liked, I don't have the artisticness to pull something like that off.

P.S. Not that it bothers me, but Greenstreet is my last name :) So no capital "S".. :)
