✨Bardo the Shiny Oshawott / Dewott / Samurott✨

[goldensunset]

ok jumping on a minor bandwagon here

[front-facing-pokemon]

[driftingballoons]

I think an Oshawott or Dewott would be quite silly

[perenlop]

pokeani moments that exist purely to make Me miserable:

the line where they call ash's oshawott a throwaway pokemon in the unova league so they're just flat out saying they think it's a worthless pokemon

to thine own pokemon be true (extra angst points for me bc ambipom was my second favorite on the team at the time)

the granddaughter of the guy who trains gliscor calling gliscor pathetic and weak to her face despite gliscor being an extremely sensitive pokemon

pretty much everything about that gible

blue episode (favorite color but they made it a fetish somehow and also dewott and brionne and meowstic are all there and its so bad)

boxing heracross immediately. also that battle frontier episode where it's literally the only returning ash mon (barring torkoal i think but i dont count it bc its native to AG) to get humiliated onscreen

pidgeot returning but gliscor didn't even show up in the miniseries despite being an Actual Character

[fierykitten2]

Pelipper returned and I was genuinely thinking “I bet I won’t get any new staff members. What if I go Oshawott though?” and I got Oshawott!

#501. Oshawott

The scalchop on its stomach is made from the same element as claws. It detaches the scalchop for use as a blade.

Colour and symbol charts can be found here.

A note on colours: in my experience, floss looks different irl than in online pattern makers. If you think a different colour will work better, go with your gut!

i can never decice on what my favorite pokemon is i have so many

[sexysilverstrider]

i havent reached the second area yet lmao

[critterbitter]

I have a question about the twins regarding starters. Yes, Chandelure and Eelektross are perfect for them, and I adore them. But if they were given a chance to choose one of the Unova starters, which ones would they pick? I think the Oshawott line fit Emmet, and the Snivy line gives me Ingo vibes. Tho, I'm not sure a Serperior would really get along with his Chandelure. And if they don't like the Unova starters and could choose from any starter of any other region, which one would be their choice? I'm asking this because I noticed they don't have any way to really hit ground types for super effective damage, so they might be interested in getting a water type and a grass type to cover that gap. 🤔

More under cut!

My favorite trope is when the obvious starter-trainer pair is, in fact, swapped six ways into sunday and comes out a jumbled wreck on the other end.

In a way weirder alternate universe, Ingo and Emmet would be given the two “trouble” starters from Professor Cedric’s batch much like how Pikachu is thrown at Ash in the pokemon anime— through a series of unfortunate accidents.

In this au, I would like to postulate they become the starter’s emotional support humans and end up running a battle gym, while Elesa (armed with a tepig) ends up head of a battle faculty.

Bonus AU elesa… she’s plotting ways to motivate her lazy tepig. She’s scheming. That’s a constant.

FEEL FREE TO ADD ON TO THIS AU! It’s free real estate.

((As for the rest of the ask: chandelure would absolutely throttle that samurott. Eelektross and servine (i cant imagine wanting to loose limbs as serperior) would be friends faster then a house on fire, and probably cause fires.

Also, the submas gang being utterly decimated by ground types makes me honk with laughter. Earthquake is a constant nightmare in this household.))

Pokemon Crossbreeds: Torrent

//Name from @go-fuck-a-dead-protagonist , and breed idea came from @pokemonranch

Torrent is the name for members of the Oshawott line with Absol fathers. The breed was named after a torrent, which is a strong and violent outpour of water, which seem to appear a lot when they're near. They were bred as a battle breed since they are more defensive. Recently, they've started being used as guard breeds as well since they can warn of upcoming water-based disasters.

Oshawott

Torrent Oshawott gain a slightly longer and sharper ear, more head fluff, and darker colors on their blue fur. While they still keep their playful nature, they become more wary of water-based disasters. They live in rivers high on mountains.

Dewott

Torrent Dewott gain darker fur, white neck fluff, and a larger and more pointed ear that resembles a horn. It uses both its scalchops and ear in battle, making them popular for competitive trainers. They're also very protective.

Samurott

My personal favorite of this line, for both of them. Both Unovan and Hisuian Samueott gain the white fluff of Absol on their neck, and their chest plates are now coated with white fluff. Unovan Torrent Samurott gain a darker color on their helmets, which can make it a bit difficult to tell them apart. Instead of red marks, Hisuian Torrent Samurott gain white marks.

Torrent Samurott live in secluded lakes in caves or on mountains, making them extra rare to find. But, some will come down when their is about to be a bad storm or tsunami or flood; anything related to that. Hisuian Torrents gain dual horns, making them a bigger of a threat in battle.

Pokemon shiny review of shiny h! Samurott line?

Oshawott: Shiny Oshawott is okay, but nothing to write home about. It does change out most of the colors in the design—white to cream, brown to pink, blue to teal, and cyan to a true blue. However, because most of these hue shifts are similar to the original colors, it doesn't stand out a ton. Like, you could pick it out as the shiny in a crowd of other Oshawott, but if you saw it in isolation and thought this was the regular palette, I wouldn't blame you.

In terms of improving it, any hue shift outside of just shades of blue/teal would be much more noticeable. There are a bunch of viable colors here, like purple is always a good choice for water-types, but I kind of like the idea of making it brown to lean into the otter inspiration.

Dewott: Dewott's a bit better than Oshawott, mostly because the dark blue accents have changed to purple—a much more drastic hue shift that makes it easier to pick out as a shiny. However, even if you ignore that it's not very consistent with shiny Oshawott, the overall body shift from cyan to more of a aquamarine still isn't that noticeable. Also, the dark blue originally complimented the body, whereas here the purple and aquamarine feel like they're competing, almost to the point of clashing.

Outside of potentially doing something like a brown shiny here too, I think an easy change would just be making the body a light shade of purple. Another option could be to make the body white to match Oshawott's coloration.

Samurott: Even if you once again ignore consistency, Samurott's shiny is still just okay. I do like the peachy rose-gold armor and the darker blue body; it looks nice visually. However, similar to Oshawott, it's a bit too minor of a hue shift to really stand out drastically, even if you can still tell the difference in a crowd; it's not bad but doesn't feel like that drastic of a change either. In terms of improvements, any of the changes I suggested above could be applied here and it would probably look fine.

Hisuian Samurott: H. Samurott is probably the best of the line because it has a drastic, very noticeable color change—taking all the black and red shades from the original armor and making them white and gray. It's a nice nod to Oshawott and makes for a very distinct shiny.

However, I do wish they had gone a bit further and tweaked the rest of the colors as well. Changing only accent colors works well when the base is a neutral (see: Umbreon), but in this case, there's not real reason to not go even further. The eyes and nose no longer are complimented by red in the armor, so they could've easily been yellow or orange instead; something a little more adjacent to the white. Meanwhile, the body could've been a darker navy blue to match original shiny Samurott, or even black to match the non-shiny armor. It's still good as-is; it just could've been pushed a bit more.

Overall: Oshawott and Samurott's shinies are okay; you can tell the difference but they're still fairly similar to the originals in terms of hue. Dewott's shiny stands out more but also has a somewhat clashy palette and the body is still pretty similar. Finally, H. Samurott has a good distinct shiny, but one that could've been changed even more. Basically, nothing bad here—but nothing spectacular either.
