I believe Entry number 4 is Electrivire not Elektrike. :/

I voted for Entry no.3 as it is the most beautiful one and would most likely win the wpc imo.

Entry 1:

It's unfortunate to see that this one doesn't have any votes yet given that the sprite work is good and each sprite is transformed. Though, the spriter could have had a more clear concept in mind. Overall, this is a great entry. 8/10

Entry 2:

Definitely not bad. I do think that there was a limitation on your artwork given the choice to fuse two smaller pokemon. Some of the sprite work is muddy especially on the blue torchic; it is hard to make-out if that is a tail or huge hand on its right side. 6/10

Entry 3:

Most innovative and intricate of the designs. Maybe a bit too over designed; other than that great. 8/10

Entry 4:

From a pixel standpoint, this entry has the most flaws. The blue shading under electrivire's jaw does match the color scheme, and there is a lack of outline on the top of its right hand. The lack of an outline on Nidokings' tail. The top of Nidoking's head has a jagged outline, and on the back of its head, near the neck, there is a completely unfinished area with no shading or outline. Overall, the concept is nice, but the execution of pixel art, outlines and shading, needs a lot of improvement. 4/10

Entry 5:
This is one simple, yet clear and distinct in its concept and execution. Though, that also works against it, given it is a bit underwhelming. But perhaps simple and clean is better than conmplex and diffuse. I will give this one an 8/10 as well.

I have narrowed it down to 1,3, and 5. They're are all evenly great.

But, I really do think that 1 deserves a vote since they're obviously made with great thought and execution in the design.
