very general discussion thread, if you could change the features of any Pokémon, what would it be - examples include giving it a new type, such as fire/dragon charizard or water/dragon gyarados, or change its ability, moveset, re-balancing its stats, etc.

can be for any reason you want, like making it more competitively viable, making it make more logical sense, just making it cooler, etc. I'm interested to see some of the responses besides the really common type changes that everyone wants.

Make Charizard Fire/Dragon

I would actually make Heliolisk Electric/Dragon, that would be pretty cool.

I would make both Luxio and Luxray Electric/Dark since that was such a missed opportunity.

Personally, I would make Dragonite's shiny something other than that nasty green. The Dragonair/Dratini shinies are so cute and I feel like they totally ruined it with that puke green final evolution. It doesn't have to be the same shade of purple, maybe a dark purple with black accents or black with red accents, idk just something cooler imo.


Then there's the obvious type changes -- Fire/Dragon Charizard, Electric/Dark Luxray, etc.

Even though I love Incineroar, there's one problem I have with it: its low Speed. Personally, I'd take away a few points from its Special Attack, and add those to its Speed instead. Also, I'd give it Fire Punch as a level-up move, and make it learn Poison Jab from the TM.

Put Nidorina and Nidoqueen into the Monster and Field Egg groups (like Nidoran?).

Speaking of the Nidoran? family, they do a cool thing with their shiny forms, in that they take the colors of the counterparts. With one exception - Shiny Nidoqueen is green. Change that to Nidoking's normal coloration.

I was always really disappointed that they didn't do the color swapped shiny thing the Nidorans tried to do with other Pokemon. Shellos East / Shellos West, Gastrodon East / Gastrodon West, Volbeat / Illumise, Plusle / Minun.

Why does Illumise not get Illuminate as an ability, but Volbeat does?

Can Gyarados either be pure Water-type or get an offensive Flying-type move?

Psyduck should evolve sooner. 33 is pretty late to be stuck with a Psyduck. 25 would be much more reasonable.

Change Espeon's shiny form.

I don't know why this keeps happening to us. They utilize green in great ways for many Pokemon in their normal form like leafeon or the treecko evolutionary line. But when it comes to shinies they keep using broccoli green. Espeon got the same treatment as dragonite.

It not only takes away from a design that was beautiful but it has no relationship to what the Pokemon is even about. Its the Sun Pokemon, maybe gold would be a better choice for his shiny than I dunno slime?

A gold shiny would directly link espeon with the sun and make an even stronger contrast to Umbreon's dark appearance and typing. I think it would also beautifully offset the ruby in its forehead even more, like a gem inside of a gold bracelet. He could be Baast, the Egyptian cat god of the sun this way :D

I have to also agree about the shinies who are almost indistinguishable from their normal forms. Since I am on the subject of cats lets look at Persian. I think the classy feline would be cool with a black shiny, the idea of bad karma from a black cat crossing your path would be a good fit because he is known for being spiteful and even will harm his trainers.

Just make Necrozma any type besides Psychic. I really hate how most Legendaries are Psychic, it's like its by default.

Maybe make it a Fairy type because it thrives on light?? It could be dark from it being the reminiscence of the Ultra Beasts + its appearance totally screams Dark type.

I keep thinking it's a Dark-type as well haha. I sent it out to try and type-trump Psychic and Ghost-types several times and totally forgot that it's a Psychic-type. Whyy???????

Either Fairy or Dark would be a better typing. Maybe both! I like Pokémon that have two seemingly opposing types, like Volcanion.

Necrozma would love to have a 5th move slot. Then you can run that fun Stored Power set without having to worry about Dark types =)

Make it so Vullaby and Rufflet evolve at an earlier level. I like both (Especially Mandibuzz) but it is a bit odd they evolve at Level 54.

To put it another way Gabite evolves into pseudo legendary Garchomp at Level 48.

Having the two Unova birds evolve at say Level 40 would make more sense especially for an in-game run. As it stands you get the birds evolved at the Elite Four.

I've been toying with eye of a mega evolution for Grumpig. If Gardevoir got a mega evolution when we revisited Hoenn then I say Grumpig could use the help more. Spoink and his line are so irresistable-looking that I want them to have more love. There's a lot there to work with from the ice, fire resistances to a broad movepool and great special defense. I'd like to take it to the next level.

- Change the Litten family's shiny colours to either black and purple or orange and black. The former because it would suit Incineroar's typing better or the latter because they would look like real life tigers.

- Change how Porygon2 evolves into Porygon-Z so you wouldn't have to trade Porygon with an item twice.

- Put the Ralts family in the Human-Like egg group.

- Make Alolan Raichu able to learn Surf. I think that was a wasted opportunity especially because there are other non-water types that can learn that move.

- Change shiny Krookodile's colours. I don't care what into, anything would be better than the disgusting colours it has now.

you have to trade them twice?? i didn't know that lol. that's pretty inconvenient, it'd be really nice if that could be changed. maybe make it evolve by level-up in some kind of computer lab area or something! I'd like to see the location-based evolution method see a bit more use.

Oh, something else that bothers me is how late it can be to evolve Eevee into Leafeon/Glaceon in some games. Leafeon in X/Y can only be obtained at Route 20 and then Glaceon in S/M can only be obtained at Mt. Lanakila, both locations which are practically at the end of each game. I just think they should either make them evolve with Leaf/Ice Stones or make it so the Moss and Ice Rocks are available fairly early on and can be accessed at pretty much the same time.

Give Gyarados an offensive flying-type move (and preferably the ability to learn Fly).

I would make charizard fire/dragon and Gyarados Dragon/Water

and if there was a Mega Serperior, I'd make it Grass/Dragon or Poison.

These are just based on my opinion of how a pokemon looks like.

This might be a weird answer, but I would make all starters evolve at a relatively higher level, but give their unevolved forms stronger stats to accommodate for that.

In most Pokémon games I've played, it kinda saddened me how little time I got to spend with my cute lil' unevolved starters. (Especially Rowlet.) Maybe I grind a lot more than the average player, but I consider myself lucky if my starter hasn't evolved by the time I'm through with my first Gym Battle. ;__; Of course, I know the B-button exists, but I find it pretty hard to resist the temptation of a power boost, haha. I dunno. xD
