succumbed to the urge to revisit that splatverse post after all but this looks so cool on its own I thought I'd post the WIP. The fry is wearing the queen's ring like a little inner tube is this anything

Depressed legend? Spot on.

I was battling Ursarings in Coronet Highlands and one time my Ambipom ended up jumping on top of a large boulder to look down on his opponent... It looked so cool I had to draw the scene ✍️🥺

THE SILLIESS!!! THE BLEP!!!

You don't to land Rage fist for it to count, so you can just use it on a route 1 normal type until you do it 20 times

Wait wait wait.

That ape pokémon you had in the E4. You telling me my boi Primeape got a regional evo??

Yeah, so does Bisharp and the Wooper line.

to get Annihilape you learn the move rage fist then use it 20 times in a row. it must land and must do damage or you have to re-start i think. after the 20 rage fists evolve primeape

after that; Primeape ragequits so hard he turns into the regional evo annihilape; a ghost-fighting type.

if you plan on getting the regional prawniard/bisharp evo. you need to evolve it up to a bisharp and then find a bisharp bosses about a bunch of prawniard. kick their asses then evolve and you will become the regional evo; Kingambit

All Hail the blinding one

I've never actually played Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon but...

I fucking love Necrozma

At first glance, it's.....an edgy prism monster? Absorbs light? Design's a bit awkward tbh BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE!! This thing is the agonised, partially reconstructed remains of another dimension's god of light!! It's torso is a fucking skull, its legs protrude from nostril holes, its unwieldly arms are huge feet stuck to the ends of frail wings!! It was once a dragon which shone with a blinding light, which illumined its home dimension, but the people there sought to control that light and in doing so destroyed it, wounding Necrozma and plunging their world into darkness

Necrozma absorbs light because it's driven by the single minded goal of regaining its true form!

Which is why it chases after and attempts to assimilate the emissaries of the sun and moon! In the hope that it can use their light to reconstitute itself! And yes, using the light of both, it is able to

It's still clearly incomplete, but it almost doesn't matter, what's missing is filled in with raw power!

LOOK AT THIS THING! It's Beautiful, shining golden crystal bathed in liquid light, it's like a star in beast form, a dragon of plasma!

A broken god, reconstituted, beautiful (this art is fucking official btw, how often does Pokemon go this hard?)

Speaking of Pokemon going hard, this thing is an absolute nuzlocke ender! An uncharacteristically extreme super boss for a series that usually gets criticised for being too easy

Also, you hear that theme?????? Holy fuck - Epic - Glorious - Majestic - Terrifying - Melancholic?...O-oh Yes, melancholic Because, despite everything, this refound glory is fleeting. This is a transformation, not an evolution, and fundamentally Necrozma is still not complete, you can only fill in the cracks with stolen energy for so long

(Note this animation apparently gets cut off in-game before you get to properly see it? This footage is from a BDSP mod hednjd) Canonically the player character wins that battle, and if you catch Necrozma we see that its ultra form is a temporary transformation, so one way or another that taste of glorious, beautiful, shining completeness is fleeting. ' - ' Necrozma is still incomplete, but for a moment you see the light of what once was,,,,,idk!??! that's kinda rad, kinda wild, I feel bad for this creature??? Like, isn't there something so fundamentally relatable about, knowing your potential, knowing the version of yourself that you're supposed to be, striving to be that version of yourself at all times, but only getting to feel that power for a brief moment, when everything falls into place?

It's implied that the Z crystals (items which allow Pokemon access to once a match special moves) are all shards of Necrozma's original body...Even though the original, full, Necrozma is gone, the embers of its power are spread far and wide

In conclusion: I just really like Necrozma c: it's a very specific mix of - powerful - beautiful - cosmic - devine - tragic - melancholic - and trans probably that just speaks to me ; 0 ;

You for got the bite of 87 (it learns bite and crunch)
