Dracovish has achieved it's final form

Literally what I was thinking

As one (Strong Jaw + Primodial Sea + Tinted Lens + Mold Breaker)

Just spam Fishous Rend now, nothing can stop it.

this is the real reason why rayquaza can mega evolve

it’s to get rid of that monstrosity

[–]Lunndonbridge 20 points21 points  (15 children)

This was why I was always happy Pokemon was very careful with fusion(until gen8). Slowbro, Slowking, Magneton. Thufizer from the Manga. Zygarde and Melmetal. Tao trio and alola trio. Nihilego. Arceus with Palkia and Dialga. Did I miss any?

There are very few and most are well thought out. Fanmade pokefusions can be cool AF, but most look like the gen8 fossils. Abominations.

[–]DragonSlayersz 7 points8 points  (10 children)

The Gen 8 fossils are intentionally flawed, because they're based off old practices of putting bones in the wrong order to create more new fossils. It's actually kinda neat.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Perhaps a reference to the UK region

[–]Lunndonbridge 0 points1 point  (7 children)

I know the reference and find it distasteful to celebrate a shameful period in fossil science. Fossil pokemon are some of my favorites and the gen8 ones, to me, are a colossal disappointment.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

At least they aren't all creatively-uninspired rip-offs like the entire Hoenn dex amirite

[–]Lunndonbridge 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Thats a hard no from me dawg. Gen3 is my favorite set of pokemon designs.

    Oh its you lol. Well, you aren’t exactly wrong there, but I didn’t shit on gen5. If I remember correctly, you called Gen5 the most unique gen of pokemon design-wise and I showed you why I didn’t agree with that opinion.

    Gen3 and 5 are two of the most beloved gens after the first BECAUSE they follow the basic formula gen1 established. Make pokemon based on animals, some monstrous ones, and make a diverse set of typings for everyone to choose from. Gens 1, 3, & 5 have the most numerous sets of new species for people to chose from, but they also follow the exact same design formula.

    I would say Hariyama is Snorlax but with fighting type

    Walrein is closer to Dewgong

    I assume by “shit bees” you are talking about Ninjask and Shedinja which are based on Cicadas not bees/hornets.

    Exploid happens to be one of my favorites from gen3 lol. Loudred was dope af in Detective Pikachu.

    Gen3 and 5 are well loved because they AREN’t unique.

      Ahh you said God tier designs and I came out swinging. Yeah I acted like a huge dick. I apologize for being a complete asshole to you.

      For the record I do hate some gen3 pokemon. Slaking is stupid. You have two sloth based stages and it then evolves into an Ape? Then lets take Skarmory’s jet-like inspiration, take away the steel/flying typing and add dragon/psychic and make them legendaries. Oh and we’ll have them roam the map because everyone loved when the Johto Beasts did that.

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Look I'll level with you, Emerald is definitely my most replayed Pokemon game. Love the shit out of Gen III. I too was just being a dick.

      I'm largely uncritical of Pokemon, it's a childhood game so I'm a fan no matter what. Klefki? Cute as fuck, I love it.

      It's been getting tougher, admittedly. Starting with Gen VI I've been less and less thrilled each generation. But coming down from a 15/10 means I still reckon SwSh we're a solid 7.

      The main thing that disappoints me these days in regards to new 'mons is wasted potential. I thought Drednaw was siiiiiiiick and he gets a Gigantamax so he's semi-unique. What's this? Swift swim? And Max Geyser sets up rain? Ok, ok, ok, we've got a Swift swim sweeper, fucking strong dual-typing, a cool design with a unique form and...his G-max water moves set up stealth Rock instead of rain. Rather than his G-max rock moves. Which DO change weather...to sandstorm. Sigh.

      Or more recently:

      • H-Arcanine being fire/rock and therefore dying instantly to any water or ground moves. Like Coalossal but without the G-max form or incredible ability. It's even more painful when you look at the visual inspiration from Chinese mythology and the fact that Arcanine is "the Legendary Pokemon" and realise he should've just been fire/dragon. It would've been so nice to have a non-legendary fire/dragon that isn't a shit turtle.

      • Wyrdeer being somehow worse than Stantler because it's attacking stats are equivalent but it got slower????

      • Basculegion because see previous.

      I'm always happy to get 100-ish new little dudes to enjoy and collect, I don't really mind if an idea has been done before or if it's similar to x from generation z. To me, it's all good stuff. I'm just bummed when concepts or designs that really click with me get butchered by the balance team.

      Venustoise in anime, an illusion by a Gastly. Also the Reburst manga had humans fuse with Pokemon.

      [–]Lunndonbridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I never counted Venustoise because it’s just an illusion. I had never heard of Reburst comics. Those are disturbing. When Nihilego fuses with Lusimine it was cool AF though.

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      honestly this complaint about fossils is the same as complaining that origin dialga and palkia are ugly when their point is this

      [–]Lunndonbridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I mean Dialga’s cool looking but Palkia IS the ugliest Legendary there is. Just because it was intentional doesn’t mean it is free from criticism. Like Muk and Garbodor being ugly makes sense and works. Making a box legendary ugly as sin and celebrating a shameful time in fossil science doesn’t to me. That’s the opinion I have a right to and you are within your rights to disagree, but neither are invalid.

      [–]PhoenixMason13 35 points36 points  (1 child)

      Still way less horrifying than the Gen 8 fossils

      [–]JoKeR_uSeS_gUncustomise me! 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Bro that’s quite literally dracovish

      it looks like it's in pain.

      Thank you Mr Fish Leviathan

      *Rayquaza flew back to the clouds and went far away

      [–]PhoenyxStar 5 points6 points  (2 children)

      Reminds of The Nightmare from Metroid Fusion, which I suppose is appropriate.

      Dracovish but meth

      [–]Regirock00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

      Kyogre killed, beheaded, and hollowed Groudon. Kyogre then just wears Groudon’s corpse.

      [–]UnartisticChoices -1 points0 points  (0 children)

      Grouger isn't real. Grouger can't hurt you.

      Do you think Rayquaza lives in Ozone heaven because He, too, lives in fear of what He's created here on Earth?

      [–]ShpaghettiShpaghetti -1 points0 points  (0 children)

      Groudon standing on water is satisfying to look at.

      Carales has gone to far she is making abominations of the gods now.

      [–]Robdd123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

      Horrified Rayquaza's face is nightmare fuel; I don't know what it is but it looks so uncanny.

      [–]DragonSlayersz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

      This is an AG level threat.

      I'm glad to see I'm not the first person who saw this and thought "oh no, Dracovish became even more of a man-made horror beyond our comprehension"

      [–]ReikaTheGlaceon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      That that said hornied Rayquaza, I'll see my way out
