Oh yeah lmao it's very fast based on what I see for it's stats, but less tanky in exchange. It's also pure dragon typing, so that's neat!

I... like... the new Mega Garchomp Z. A lot.

Like I even prefer it over the OG Mega that's how much I like it hahahajdflksfdf//////////

(Did it /need/ a new Mega? Absolutely not lmao, but it's a lot more of a streamline / intuitive design, compared to the OG Mega, and that's my bread and butter--)

Depending on what they share for the 30th anni, I may play it, because I enjoy the Legends gameplay loop more than the usual mainline. And I skipped SV b/c the marketed art style & gimmick bored me.

I'll wait to see if Gen 10 wows me or if I'll just bide my time for the next installment of Legends.

It was hard enough to justify the $60 price tag for the Switch version (or $70 for Switch 2), but paying an additional $30 for something that should have been built-in feels a bit excessive.

I also frankly haven't completely all the side missions or regular post game, so I'm not hurting for content

Something I was trying to do with my angel character Zephyr (formerly Zephaniel) as like, an ambitious wing study, but I petered out midway before I even got to detailing the wings 😂 Maybe I'll attempt something like this another time...

Cheating a bit with two-in-one but they were closely connected. These were meant to be NPC apps for a Pokemon OCT that didn't pan out (where I was coordinating with a friend with Zurodelle's future family). Like father like son, pkmn trainer style~

…I accidentally used raster lines when I meant to use vector for this entire sheet lol;; So I can't clean it, but may finish later. Based on early HCs w/ @littlescorpio.bsky.social when SolRosco were still a duo team, details in the alt text /o/

My first [and only, thus far] attempt at Yamm's headdress, very early into figuring out his design. I want to give it another try b/c I have a shape in mind (not a octo/squid head shape tho, no) but this is my struggle with all the headdresses lmao

Incredible how I didn't care for Impidimp at first but then I took a real shine to Morgrem, and gave its basic stage another look. An early first (and second) attempt at drawing them in my style, I guess.

Didn't forget about this, just been tired/busy! I drew this of Serqet while listening to Gaga's "Garden of Eden" on loop. Idk if I'll finish it as is or completely redraw it (you can see me fighting with her posing) but the concept exists, at least.

(And yes ofc I primarily did it for the Delphox stone. But I still got to Rank K during my stress test, so I guess I could have done it without the nerf and got some other goodies along the way!)

Overall tho ranked battled aren't as irritating as I thought they would be. It's chaotic af and depends a little on luck with w/e players you end up with, but the rhythm of it is pretty fun

I kinda wish we could run tho, if only to get myself out of accidentally crouching at the worst moments plsss

IT EVEN WORKS ON BENCHES WITH ALL 6 POKEMON /SOFT!!!!!!!!!

Next one I aim for will probably be Shenhe's C1, and after that I'm not sure who else I'd want who would be a boon. Maybe a standard banner unit to get closer to earning a Masterless Stella Fortuna in the distant future.

But for now I can slack a bit from babysitting my resin for the next 4 weeks--

Honestly would be fun to doodle them all, but I don't know if I have the speed to draw 12 different mons -- even the ones I'm well practiced with drawing.

I also want to add a few more team members in the post game / name them accordingly, so we'll see!

There were more I wanted to train but if I did I would have progressed more slowly -- training 12 at once is a lot. But I indeed rotated them in an out as needed! It also helps that the majority can mega-evolve -- Roserade is the only outlier here (and Delphox will, eventually).
