What if abilities changed the appearance of a Pokemon?
Have a silly lizr this time! I wasn't planning on doing Sceptile at first since starters often have the most boring basic abilities - but Sceptile's are actually pretty neat!
So here's "is all the veggies", "ate all the veggies" and "had spicy veggies.

SO many people have been doing Pokemon ability forms, so I hopped on the train with dwebble!
This challenge was started by @n0rtist
Shell Armor dwebble has smaller, more delicate claws to help it excavate each shell fossil on the rock it makes its home. These shells help disrupt powerful attacks, preventing critical hits.
Sturdy dwebble has thick, wide claws to keep it safe! It makes its home in the strongest mineral it can find. (this one chose a large chunk of jade) This dwebble's shell is much harder to break than the others'- not even an OH-KO can crack it!
Weak armor dwebble has long legs for running more quickly than its counterparts and long, precise claws for gripping and reattaching lost pieces of its shell. Its shell is made from clay that crumbles easily, so it spends a lot of its time running around with a half broken shell, or without one entirely. Unlike other dwebble, which use their corrosive spray to hollow out and repair their shells, this dwebble spits water to mold the clay.

I saw n0rtist doing ability-based-forms for Pokemon (specifically Breloom) and I thought I'd take a stab at Shiinotic since it's one of my faves.

🍎Appletun Ability Forms~!!🍎
Finally a break from the Convention Illustrations, I decided to jump on the #abilityforms bandwagon started by @n0rtist ~!!
Appletun is one of my fave Pokémon, as most of y'all know, the forms are based around different Apple pie-esque dishes: Ripen takes after baked apples, with a hint of Apple cider, like a fermenting fruit with an extra Applin making use of the soft apple. This results in a smaller form and wonkier movements. Gluttony is based around Apple pie A la mode, making him even more sweet. I made its tail more reminiscent of Applin's, a nod to a hungry wurm. It's covered in cream and is more chunky, being even less energetic. Thick Fat is based around a Tarte Tatin; the ability makes it more resistant against Fire and Ice type attacks, resulting in a more solid body and shorter limbs/tail/ ears. This one is the roundest of them all.
It was a really fun exercise in design, changing a design so dear to me .w.!!

I made some ability forms for Porygon Z and Feraligatr for @n0rtist’s Ability Form Challenge!
Each of the Porygon Zs has a different color palette referencing the one it has in the anime (Download), Gen 4 sprite art (Adaptability), and the Sugimori artwork (Analytic).
Reasoning for each:
Torrent Feraligatr is more aquatic in nature and has a tail fin, large back sail, and its spines are more aerodynamic.
Sheer Force Feraligatr has put more energy into its physical power in exchange for losing some of the more extensive effects of its elemental power. This has made it unable to use statuses or secondary effects but has physically powered up those moves that normally rely on them.
Download Porygon Z is still loading its textures and is thus able to modify its physical properties to better combat its opponent.
Adaptability Porygon Z is able to change its appearance to its dimensional environment. Being more in tune with its different versions has led it to being more in tune with its own innate power.
Analytic Porygon Z is more calculating and tends to move after its opponent in order to gather and analyze their data to better execute its attacks.

@n0rtist started a trend for creating Pokémon forms that match their abilities, so I HAD to give it a try with Chandelure! Which one's your favorite?

ABILITY FORMS

The idea of giving pokemon different forms/designs based on their abilities is so charming. Had to draw my favorite little guy!

Have some more silly birds (I swear I'm going to do non-birds as well lol)! Keen Eye happened twice because I tend to generate more and better ideas as I draw so now you have a full sequence.

More ability forms, this time for Banette! (ft phantump)
@n0rtist started this amazing challenge! Please go check out the plethora of amazing art for these forms!
Some banettes are formed from dolls that have music boxes inside of them. Their pull string is damaged, and can never retract fully, causing the music box to play discordant music forever. These banettes can never rest properly and are constantly exhausted, sitting slumped in corners with limp arms. They are also the most aggressive due to their lack of sleep, willing to lash out viciously at the slightest misstep. Forever plagued by insomnia, these banettes have deep purple eye bags.
Since many banettes are found in long-forgotten places, they must be able to hunt for berries and items to survive. These banettes grow long fingers to search in every crevice they come across, and have a zippered pouch on their stomach for storing their finds. In battle, these banettes are particularly adept at frisking their opponents to find items that they have hidden.
Very rarely, a banette with the "cursed body" ability can be found. During their time as a doll, these banettes were the sworn protectors of the child that owned them. Having failed in their duty, they were filled with enough rage to come to life as a pokemon. Forever the loyal guardian, this banette will stay by the side of its child, even when they too become a pokemon, having met an unfortunate end deep within the woods. It will not fail again.
Phantumps change abilities with the seasons. In winter, they lose their leaves and gain "frisk" to help them find food. In spring, they grow flowers and gain "natural cure". In summer and fall, they grow leaves and berries, gaining the "harvest" ability.
Most phantumps have white flower petals in the spring. However, there is an old story about cherry blossoms, about how the petals turn pink after absorbing blood...

I did another ability forms post! This time, another favorite of mine, Escavalier. This is a really underrated mon imo and I wanted to show it some love (same with the previous one, Shiinotic, tbh). I might've gone a little too hard on the differences but Escavalier is just so fun to build off of.
Here's some "concept art" of them:
Swarm increases Bug move power in a pinch, so I tried to make that design more "animalistic". Plus I added a swarm of Karrablasts, because that's cute. I also emphasized the "lance" part of Escavalier's arms, making the point more stinger-like.
Shell Armor protects from crits, so that'd be the "Heavy Knight" of the set. I gave it heavy thrusting swords for its arms, with some rapier-like flare, and more greyed out colors, to emphasize the steel type.
Finally, the idea for Overcoat is that since the abikity protects from weather conditions, its skin would be paler (less sun) and the armor would be rusted from the rain, hail and sandstorms. I kinda tried to mix the "Spanish Tercios Soldier" vibe with the "Western" vibe and this is what came out - with some good old Estocs for arms, and buckler-like shoulder guards, this one's a duelist.
Which is your favorite? Mine is probably Overcoat. I played around with line weight in these designs and I think that really works in its favor.
Also, I'll tag @n0rtist since it seems that's encouraged when participating in this design challenge! Hope y'all like these guys.

Giving Pokemon ability forms was such a great idea by @n0rtist that I had to give it a shot :3
Static Pichu is nice and fluffy so it can easily generate electricity by fluffing it's fur~
Lightning Rod Pichu uses its tail to attract electricity to use for itself~
