Tug o' War Pokémon edition

[FeraligatrMaster]

99.

From the past, I like Great Tusk, Flutter Mane, Sandy Shocks, Roaring Moon, and Gouging Fire the most. From the future, I like Iron Valiant, Hands, Thorns, Moth, and Boulder.

There was challenge at last year's get-together to make a paradox fakemon. It could be from the past of the future, and I picked the future, and made this little piglet.

Spoiler:

Name: Iron Voyager
Species: Paradox Pokemon
Type: Psychic/Steel
Evolutionary family: Spoink
Ability: Quark Drive

Pokemon Scarlet: It looks like a pokemon in an odd magazine, described as a spoink, who bounced itself out of this world, where it floats in space.

Pokemon Violet: Sightings of this pokemon are rare, but treasure like moonstones, pearls and starpieces always appear where it has been. Iron Voyager could be the universe-traveling collector foretold in an old text.


New Base Stat Total: 570

Hp: 139
Attack: 45
Defense: 76
Sp Atk: 145
Sp Def: 130
Speed: 35

My least favourite Paradox Pokemon is Brute Bonnet.

Because Team Magma rules! ... Oh wait, that was the previous round!

Water douses fire.

I think the future forms fit better with the scifi themes of tech, time travel and robotics at the core of both Scarlet and Violet.

The Paradoxes I like the least from the past ones are Brute Bonnet and Walking Wake.
From the future paradoxes it's Iron Jugulis.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

I'm no Iron Jugulis fan either. However, I don't dislike Walking Wake.

I didn't like Walking Wake, can't get used to seeing a pokemon as beautiful and elegant pokemon as Suicuine now as this sorta elderly-looking skinny t-rex. None of the legendary beast past paradoxes to me lived up to the hype surrounding them. I probably could get used to Gouging Fire, while it's a bit over-designed, it's not as far off to me as the the giraffe raikou or the haggard t-rex, but will overall I think give it to the future paradox legendary trio still.

The swords of justice paradoxes almost play it a little too safe, but I think I would rather have their more solid, if conservative designs. They embody the future while still being on par with the designs of Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion.

Okay, I have to give at least one point to the Past versions for one very specific reason. I was non-Shiny Charm (though I did have a sandwich) hunting Lav's favorite Pokemon Sandy Shocks one my own (he was there but was playing Violet, so the only Pokemon that would spawn for him were future mons, meaning he had to stay back from the hunting area), when all of sudden, I spot a golden set of not-Magnemites walking along among the rest, so I quickly message Lav to come over and catch it before it despawns, only for him to come over and encounter a completely separate shiny Sandy Shocks! I literally got 2 to spawn in the same area, with less than perfect odds, AT THE SAME TIME. Absolute madness... 0_0

And the Future Pokémon forms win! Go, Pokébots!

I am out of ideas so I will now let others suggest what they would like to see next!

Edit : Next round : Mega-Evolutions (+1) VS Gigantamax / Dynamax evolutions (-1)!
Starting at 100, until the 1st of august!

Dynamax and Gigantamax last for only 3 turns. Mega Evolutions last for the rest of the battle.

I love the look of many Mega-Evolutions, both official, or fan-made! And they bring nice Abilities.
The -max ones... just too big and too brief, in game or in the anime, for my taste.

 

[𒈟Lavemu𒐫]

101

gigantimax alcremie is so cool!

 

[PoryKid575]

102

Dynamax kinds comes off as just a redundant, weaker version of Mega Evolution to me.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

103.

Mega Evolutions have been given to Pokemon from Gens 1-4, as well as Audino and Diancie. Gigantamax forms have only been given to Pokemon from Gens 1 and 8, as well as Garbodor.

I'm waaaay too big of a fan of the 'this isn't even my final form' trope to not love Megas lol. On the contrary, I'm not really into 'BEEEG' (big) Pokemon in general, and rarely ever used them unless I was in one of the raid dens.

 

[PoryKid575]

All Megas have unique designs, while Dynamaxes are just upscaled versions of the regular Pokemon.
