I miss the days before Tumblr ruined giving artists their audiences.

Trainer Frisby would like to Battle!

So I never participate in art challenges anywhere, but this month's theme on a Discord server was Pokemon, and to design yourself with a team you feel accurately represents you, aid I just HAD to jump into it. SO here's my gay AF team lol. All shiny minus Gothitelle because the shiny on that one is hideous. I'd say it's a nice mix of nerdy, spooky, whimsical, and a slight touch of bizarre.

Mind you, it was difficult to pick and choose, and with a time limit on the whole challenge I had to be quick, so I had to discard even some of my all time favorites such as Serperior, Cutiefly, Sewaddle, Sigilyph, Cofagrigus and even Drfiblim.

So they are all female minus the Espathra, because at that point I stopped caring about the genders of most if not all Pokemon. So my Flittle became a beautiful drag queen ostrich.

Minus Frisby, I decided to go with a dot art style of a specific region, to not only give it a more unique look, but also to not make them all glaringly distracting.

Hope you guys like it.

Seawinkle

Water type

Ability: Torrent (Powers up Water-type moves when the Pokémon's HP is low)

Dreamworld Ability: Dazzling (Surprises the opposing Pokémon, making it unable to attack using priority moves.)

Dream Entry: When cornered, Seawinkle will create a strobe light effect with their bulbs, confusing and frightening the predator for a moment, and then it makes its escape. It is much faster in the water than on land.

Chaos Entry: It communicates with others by flickering the bulbs on its shell. Scientists have discovered it knows Morse code, but aren’t sure if it learned it from humans or if it originated it.

Additional Data: At night, these Pokémon illuminate seashores with the constant flickering of their shells, which attracts dozens of people to watch. If they sense someone has stepped into the water, they will stop their lights and hide right away. Seawinkle also put predators in a trance-like state by rapidly flashing their lights as fast as possible, and will flee the moment they get a chance.

Fuegoat

Fire type

Ability: Blaze (Powers up Fire-type moves when the Pokémon's HP is low.)

Dreamworld Ability: Mold Breaker (Moves can be used on the target regardless of its Abilities.)

Dream Entry: The wool around its body is made from smoke, which it uses as a way to hide if it were to encounter an opponent stronger than it. It enjoys randomly headbutting children.

Chaos Entry: Fuegoat’s horns let out a type of whistle every time flames erupt from the holes. It mostly does this if it gets separated from its trainer or family.

Additional Data: They are extremely easy to frighten, which causes the smoke on their body to burst and vanish, and then it stiffens and rolls on its back for several minutes. Once it regains its composure, it’ll become upset and begin headbutting whoever scared it or the closest object.

Wyrmsprout

Grass Type

Ability: Overgrow (Powers up Grass-type moves when the Pokémon's HP is low)

Dreamworld Ability: Spirit Guard (The Pokémon heals all allies stat conditions and changes upon entering battle)

Dream Entry: As it basks in the sunlight, the petals on its body become a much more vivid shade of yellow. When it is feeling threatened, it will make a rattling-like sound with the petals by rapidly quivering its body.

Chaos Entry: When shedding its petals, they release an extremely sweet minty scent into the air, attracting all sorts of bugs to come and carry them away. Wyrmsprout’s scent are known to change depending on the location and season.

In-Depth Entry: Hundreds of these Pokémon gather in large pools of water during full moon nights, and then stare at it until dawn. After they leave, the water is left with an extremely strong smell and taste of mint.

Early settlers in Ausback almost hunted Wyrmsprout to extinction due to their bodies providing amazing healing powers. They vanished for several decades, causing a mass ecological imbalance in rivers and grassy plains, until they suddenly resurfaced out of nowhere. To this day, scientists are baffled as to where they disappeared came back from.
