i’ve been thinking about the pokémon memes where it’s like playing off of that one quote that’s like ‘truly strong trainers should try to win using their favorites’ and it’s like ‘ok well my favorite is [something blatantly overpowered]’ and it’s got me curious. how many people genuinely love pokémon that also happen to be really strong competitively?

so if you will. pick a favorite pokémon (for any reason! whether it’s cuteness or strength or nostalgia etc. no judgment) then go here https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/ and look it up

(you’ll see something that looks like this. see where it says tier and has some gibberish afterwards? don’t worry if you don’t know what that means but tell me what the letters/words are)

also if there are multiple forms and the distinction matters to you make sure you get the right one lol cuz the tiering can be different

edit: forgot to mention i mean specifically in SV! which is what comes up by default. rip every pokémon that either isn’t in SV (it’ll say ‘national dex’) or used to be better but has since fallen off relative to new pokémon

 Níðhǫggr and Yggdrasil - ZA

Worked on this late last night lol…here’s my take on the A pokemon...I tried to mimic the logo style but it went a bit off than expected.

-> Arbordrasil (concept art, typing, formes, inspiration behind the design)

Disclaimer: this original pokemon was made simply for enjoyment in entertaining the idea of what legends z-a might be. Not meant to be "legitimate" or serious prediction.

Pokémon #0081 - Magnemite

"Magnemite is commonly found in locations with a strong magnetic field, since it can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field. With modern electrical lines buried underground, however, wild Magnemite direct attacks on power plants have increased."

i love the unova games because you play them and then suddenly you understand why they added fairy types next gen

After my partner gave me a Nimbasa trio coded Wild Kratts screenshot and accidentlly reawakened one of my first ever hyper fixations, I present to you Creature Power Suit Ingo and Emmet! There are more suit designs I’m sketching, too, so expect some messier designs soon! :D they are everything to me (Elesa made the suits but idk who the other two of the crew would be in the Pokémon world)
