Paradox Suicune is wide.

Paradox Raikou is tall.

Been a long time ever since I made a pokémon gijinka... so yeah enjoy the two random men

First of all

What is this

Why did they do Raikou so dirty lol

Ah yes, Dipplin

Dipplin kind of just exists in my opinion. The DLC introduced many more interesting and scary Pokémon such as Archaludon, which I will go over later. But I do like that Applin got a third evolution, it's a third chance for Applin because both of its evolutions are trash (competitively, I like their concepts and designs), but right now it doesn't seem like Dipplin is going to be that great either.

I was researching the new mons revealed and I found a little "kit reveal" for Dipplin, including info about its abilities and signature move. Do not harass me if this is wrong when the DLC comes out I found this on Twitter.

One of Dipplin's abilities will be Gluttony, an ability that allows the ability holder to consume their berry earlier than usual, which is pretty useless.

Dipplin's other ability is Supersweet Syrup. When Dipplin enters the battlefield, it will lower the opponent's Evasion by one stage. Another pretty trash ability, unless it decides to run Thunder or something outside of rain.

I am unsure whether Supersweet Syrup is the Hidden Ability or the Hidden Ability has not been leaked yet.

Dipplin has two pretty bad abilities so far.

One of my friends found a source that said its signature move will have a secondary effect on the target that consistently lowers Speed for three turns. However if Dipplin is anything like the other two Applin evolutions, it will have a pretty low SpAtk.

I do see some potential for Dipplin as a support for Special Attackers like Flutter Mane in doubles, but I don't see much potential for it in singles. Since the other two Applin evolutions were Grass/Dragon I am going to assume Dippline will be Grass/Dragon as well.

I have nothing bad to say about this thing. It looks sick.

When they were going over wave 1 of the DLC I got jumpscared by something that scared me and all my competitive Pokémon people:

Baxcalibur's days are over.

Stall has a new staple.

We're doomed.

I saved this thing for last for a reason:

First of all, who's bright idea was it to give a Pokémon with 535 BST an evolution? Duraludon is going to be running Eviolite and everyone is doomed.

Here are Duraludon's base stats:

Knowing that we're getting a Pokémon with a BST higher than 535 is scary. Duraludon already has very high SpAtk and Physical Defense, so what are Archaludon's stats going to be like?

I'm going to talk about Duraludon for a bit first.

Duraludon already has a base 115 Defense stat, meaning it's going to be a big physical wall with Eviolite.

Duraludon also gets Body Press, which uses the user's Defense stat as its Attack stat. 115 base Defense with Eviolite, a +Defense nature, 252 Defense EVs and 31 Defense IVs brings Duraludon's Defense up to almost 500 (if my math is correct). Body Press Duraludon is the new meta, and although I love Duraludon I am geniunely scared.

Since Duraludon has Body Press, that means Archaludon will also have Body Press, and if you thought this new Duraludon line couldn't get any worse, here are Archaludon's abilities:

Stamina/Sturdy

It gets Sturdy, but who cares about that. But STAMINA?

To those who don't know what Stamina does, it boosts the ability holder's Defense by one stage when it is hit by any attack. If Archaludon is also going to run Body Press, PVP is doomed.

Archaludon's signature move will be Electrobeam. It is a 2-turn move, one turn 1 it will charge, boosting Archaludon's SpAtk by one stage, and one turn 2 it will fire the Electrobeam. The charge is skipped if it is raining.

Archaludon will probably be a new rain team staple.

Archaludon is probably my favorite new mon though.

I will put the sources in the replies just give me a second to find them.

Putting this in General because I don't know what category this goes into.

Archaludon:

7/10 not my favorite one, but cool nonetheless.

Dipplin:

100/10 they're SO cute lil candy apple wurm baba

Raging bolt:

10/10 cool giraffe bud, need i say more?

Iron Crown:

7/10 cooler than most future paradox pokemon, so it gets a pretty high score from me

I’ve seen other people doing this lol

Ogerpon: it’s cool looking, and I like the colours. 7.5/10

Fezandipiti: pretty cool, but I find it a bit weird-looking. 7/10

Okidogi: same as Fezandipiti. 7/10

Munkidori: I do not like it. 3/10

Terastal Terapagos: I think it looks cool, and I like the mustache. 8.5/10

Normal Terapagos: cute tortoise 8.5/10

Archeludon?: pretty cool, I don’t really like its design that much tho. 7/10

Dipplin: so cute. I think it would’ve worked better as a past paradox form tho. 8/10

Raging Bolt: so cool looking. I want to hug it. I guess I’m one of the people who like it. =) 10/10

Iron Crown: I love Iron Crown’s design, and I always end up liking a Pokémon more after drawing it. 9.9/10

I think it’s safe to say my favourite dlc mon is Raging Bolt.

Opinions on the dlc mon.

I like it, it’s probably my favorite new one. I think it looks a bit too much like Applin if you’d compare it to Flapple and Appletun, but it’s probably the best way to do a candy apple Applin.

Alright, Archaludon. I like it but don’t like it at the same time? I don’t like it’s face. Its signature move looks super cool though. Tbh I’m happy Duraludon got an evolution, Duraludon already has a pretty high bst so i wonder if they’ll lower it or this thing is gonna have a crazy bst.

Why does everyone HATE Raging Bolt? It looks super cool :(

For one thing STOP CALLING IT A GIRAFFE IT IS VERY CLEARLY AN ARCHOSAUR >:(

Anyways the fur stuff being like a storm cloud around its head is really cool imo

Its cool.
