[Image Description: Six drawings featuring human interpretations of different Pokemon performing various attacks.

The first image features a human interpretation of Meowscarada, taking the form of a feminine person with tan skin, fluffy pale green hair, and pink eyes. She is wearing a dark green mask with green diamond patterns, a pale green one-piece outfit with long puffed sleeves and puffy short legs, a pink floral collar with green accent, a dark green twin-split cape with lighter green lining, pink gloves with green diamonds on the back of the hands, and dark green tights. She is holding up a hand as a floral bomb is floating in midair above her, with two spotlights flanking her presence. The background is a repeated green and black gradient with a crystalline facet texture.

The second image features a human interpretation of Dachsbun, taking the form of a black woman with reddish-brown hair in pigtails, greyish-brown eyes, and long yellow painted nails. She is wearing light orange scrunchies, an orange sweater with light orange trim, a reddish-brown scarf with yellow fluff on the end, a greyish-brown miniskirt, brown leggings with light orange polka dots, and orange boots. She is holding her hands out, radiating energy with several heart shapes floating outward, and winking at the viewer with a charming smile. The background is a repeated gradient of pinks with a crystalline facet texture.

The third image features a human interpretation of Ceruledge, taking the form of a woman with medium brown skin, short purple hair in a lavender ponytail, and lavender eyes. She is wearing a purple short-sleeved button-up top with blue trim and puffed sleeves, purple wrist guards, a blue bandanna with purple accents, a black undershirt and leggings, blue shorts, a purple belt with a silver buckle, and purple boots with blue soles and toes. She is aggressively swinging around a pair of matching flaming violet swords. The background is a repeated orange and purple gradient with a crystalline facet texture.

The fourth image features a human interpretation of Garganacl, taking the form of a large woman with light skin, white and brown hair in a square-shaped cut, and yellow eyes. She has a small diamond-shaped piercing on her lower lip. She is wearing a black shirt with brown striped sleeves and white diamond pattern, a white puffy layered jacket, and a brown skirt. She is sprinkling magical salt from her hand, imitating the "salt bae" meme, and forming large salt crystals at the bottom right of the image. The background is a repeated tan and brown gradient with a crystalline facet texture.

The fifth image features a human interpretation of Kilowattrel, taking the form of a woman with light skin, shoulder-length black hair, and mint green eyes. She is wearing a yellow and black shirt patterned similar to Kilowattrel’s plumage, grey shorts, and red and white sneakers. She is jumping up and tossing a ball made from electricity above her. The background is a repeated yellow and blue gradient with a crystalline facet texture.

The sixth and final image features a human interpretation of Aqua Breed Tauros, taking the form of a man with light skin, long black hair in a ponytail held with a blue hair band, a black mustache, and black eyes. He is wearing a dark grey cowboy hat with grey accessories resembling elaborate bull horns, a dark grey jacket with black cuffs and collar and blue tear drop accents, a grey shirt, a blue tear drop pendant, and black pants. A grey bullwhip hangs from his belt, its “business end” split into three in a way that resembles three bovine tails curled into a propeller shape. He is charging toward the viewer, a fury in his eyes, and is surrounded by a torrent of water. The background is a repeated maroon and blue gradient with a crystalline facet texture.

Also a few days ago I caught me an Aqua Breed Tauros!

I was literally thinking about searching for one but when I checked the daily 6 star raid, the game somehow KNEW what I wanted and gave it to me

Anyways his name is Aquafina 🌊

#i love his bubbly horns and propeller tail #clanspeaks #pokemon #pokemon violet #paldean tauros #aqua breed tauros #my screenshots

[fierykitten2]

That mark is oddly fitting for a Tauros. Which probably means this Tauros is even angrier than all the others I just caught

#Tauros #blaze breed tauros #pokémon scarlet #gamefreak made a mistake giving the Pokémon known for being caught 40 times by Ash 3 regional variants in the same region #including making two of them version-exclusive #now I wait for Violet to give me an Aqua Breed Tauros mass outbreak

Paldean Tauros - a large herbivores native to Paldea. They're usually called the "Combat/Aqua/Blaze breed". These "breeds" are the result of an isolation that took place many thousands of years ago, splitting the Tauros population in half.

Aqua breed appeared due to speciation which happened after isolation. Due to the numerous lakes and rivers Aqua breed adapted to live in them, feeding on aquatic plants. They are the calmest of all Paldean Tauros, almost like their cousin, Miltank.

Blaze breed, found in the warm areas of western Paldea, they have sharp horns that, according to beliefs, can pierce even steel. They have a very interesting tail, which, unlike that of any other Tauros, is curled into the shape of a spring; the reason for this is unknown.

Combat breed, found mainly on the eastern side of Paldea, is the most aggressive, perhaps even more than Kantonian Tauros in Galar, often using its horns to fight with other members of herd.

Geeta Team Tweaks

Continuing off my Nemona post: I am Geeta's strongest soldier but her team sucks. Not in the sense that it doesn't have a theme or is ill-fitting, but it just doesn't exude the level of badassery that she deserves. I thought it would be fun to explore different ways of building her team that highlight interesting and underutilized Paldean pokemon and explore a new angle theme wise. Under the cut bc these get long

So Geeta's whole thing is the beauty and diversity of Paldea, shown by her pokemon that represent each of the provinces. However, I think it would be a little more fun if instead, Geeta's team represents the very peak of Paldea-- made entirely of hard to find, powerful, and elusive pokemon that the player only would have seen if they explored every nook and cranny. Not only does it make Geeta look badass, but it serves a meta purpose: those who truly love paldea and spend longer exploring the region can more easily defeat her because they know what to expect, while those who blast through the story will be met with unfamiliar pokemon who can wipe them out

Glimmora: I think she should lead with Glimmora, but that the pokemon should be used in all her promotional material and be the pokemon most closely associated with her. In the same way that Pawmot isn't Nemona's ace in the game but is the Pokemon she's associated with most, I think it should be the same for Geeta. Also, I think the way you find Glimmora should be tweaked so that Geeta having one is more special. As it stands, Glimmora connecting Geeta to area zero is something the player can only find out after the battle with her, which dampens the intrigue. Plus, it can be found easily in some caves, which doesn't make it an unknown or a threat. Instead, I propose that Glimmet / Glimmora only be found in a single spot in Paldea-- a hidden alcove in one of the caves where crystals from area zero are starting to grow. By having a pokemon that spawns only in a rare and out of the way location, players who explore are rewarded because they know how to handle it. Either way, Geeta owning this rare pokemon that most have probably never seen immediately makes her seem badass and mysterious

Espathra -> Amarouge / Celruedge: The fact that these things aren't used in any main story battles and that Celruedge doesn't appear on a team at all is a genuine crime, so I'm fixing it. Also, as cool as Espathra is, it's associated more closely with Tulip, so I don't think it's good for Geeta to have a repeat member like that. The sword boys, on the other hand, are uncommon, powerful, and badass, and serve to highlight Geeta's strength and mastery over the pokemon of the region to the point where she can evolve pokemon like Charcadet that very rarely see evolution. She would have the one that corresponds to your version (Armarogue in Scarlet, Celruedge in Violet)

Gogoat -> Paldean Tauros (Aqua or Blaze): You know how I mentioned in my Nemona team post that she would have a Paldean Tauros in her team, which is implied to be her previous ace? Yeah that's because of Geeta. Nemona looks up to Geeta a lot, and I figured Nemona's Paldean Tauros is actually inspired by Geeta's Paldean Tauros. However, while Nemona's Tauros is the breed that corresponds to the version you're playing, Geeta has the one that corresponds to the Opposite Version (Aqua Breed in Scarlet, Blaze Breed in Violet), ensuring that you're facing a new and surprising threat during your champion fight

Avalugg -> Gholdengo: Imma be honest I do not think Gholdengo fits her vibes at all, but it's not used by anyone in the game and that's pitiful. It's powerful and cool, which also fits for a champ. Also, it fits with the same theme of exploration-- without scaling the watchtowers and searching Paldea for coins, you won't be able to evolve a Gholdengo and have little idea of what you're facing

Veluza -> Rabsca: Uhhhhh honestly I just wanted a cool looking pokemon that wasn't a repeat from another NPC's team. This felt like a good pick AND uses the let's go feature, so it fits with the exploration theme too

Kingambit: This is a good pick, it should have been last, you've heard this a million times. The big thing about Kingambit, however, is that I think it should take advantage of unusual tera types. Since Geeta doesn't have a type specialization, you go into the battle having NO idea what her ace might be. and uh. I don't either. Fairy, maybe? idk I don't play comp I'm here for themes and motifs

Anyway, that's all for Geeta! This is a pretty big overhaul, and I'm curious to see if anyone else had ideas for alternate versions of her team

[pokemonranch]

Hey Clay, have you ever gotten to work with the Paldean variants of Tauros before? The ranch I work at just took on a couple of each as fosters and I’m thinking about adopting one of the aqua breeds. He’s surprisingly gentle for a Tauros, and absolutely loves his cuddles. He responds to the name Aster (which is what I’ve been calling him these past few days) and he always runs up to see me, but he never charges cause I guess he realizes I’m fragile.

I've had the opportunity to foster a 'couple of Paldean Tauros, yes! It was just a temporary stay, as our ranch here is built for Kantonian and the weather in Sinnoh is too cold for them to live here comfortably, so they were just here for health checkups and quarantine before sending 'em off to Paldea.

Acua breeds are an amazing form caused by their environment, and they tend to be the gentler form of Tauros; as they defend themselves with ranged attacks more than straight-up trampling. And Aster sounds like such a gentle soul! The only recommendation that I'd give is that, if you don't have other Tauros (any breed will do!) you should adopt at least two other Tauros with him. They're herd 'mons, and they do better in groups!

#i hope you do adopt him he seems amazing tho #ask #clay talks #pokemon rp #pokeblogging #pokemon irl #rotomblr #tauros

reasons explaining under the cut. I put in a lot of thought into their teams and wrote way too much

Adaine

Adaine’s team doesn’t have a real theme, just more her personality and class as a wizard. Partially, there are several glass cannons on Adaine’s team which fits her as the parties wizard, lots of damage but low ac and hp. Her first pokemon Lucario because I thought it fit her the best as a punching pokemon that a wizard would have and we know that Adaine wanted to punch people the whole campaign both seasons.  Gardevoir because I think psychic and fairy are the closest to magic that pokemon have other than ghost-type and she sort of fits Adaine growing into herself.  Ralts is a small weak pokemon that evolves into a psychic powerhouse like Gardevoir like Adaine did throughout both campaigns.  Gengar is here because early on ray of sickness a poison damage spell was in Adaine’s wheelhouse and Gengar is not just a ghost type but a poison.  I also have a headcanon for this pokemon au that Adaine originally had a Kadabra that she got from her parents that she traded with Riz for his Haunter at the time as a friendship bond between the two nerdy intellects of the team.  Greninja as her starter for Boggy, her familiar, also as a dark type it would be the perfect defense for her wizard family who in this AU would specialize in psychic types specifically and not fairy.  Lycanroc-dusk form for her relationship as Jawbone’s adopted daughter and that she almost got turned into a werewolf which is why it’s the dusk form sort of in between the Midday and Midnight forms.  And Hydreigon for the feral rage that Adaine has bubbling inside of her throughout both campaigns and I think it’s a darker rage than Gorgug’s  rage that he uses to protect the people he loves. Adaine has more of a fury that comes from being mistreated and wanting both to hurt and stop the people who hurt her badly like her family and the enemies the Bad Kids face. 

Espeon is in the box because I think she got it from her family as sort of the idea of elven and magical perfection and that part didn’t work for either of them.  So I think Adaine’s Espeon is more of a pet that roams Mordred Manor and not on her battle team as Adaine wanted them both to be free of her Parent’s expectations.  Luxray is also in Adaine’s box because Lightning bolt was for most of the campaign Adaine’s go to move so I thought she should have an electric type and Luxray is my personal favorite, she is also my favorite of the Bad Kids so I cheated a bit, but also held back by having it be a box pokemon since I think the others fit better as her main team.  

Gorgug

For the most part, Gorgug’s team I choose the sort of grass types since he grew up in a tree, the flower he tried to give to people, and his gnome roots. but also big strong pokemon that are surprisingly gentle like Tyranitar and Haxorus according to some of their dex entries like him. Haxorus also being ax themed like his main weapons also helped.  Rillaboom as his starter fit since it’s a big strong pokemon that’s a grass starter, but it’s also a drummer like him.  Tinkerton would be a new addition to his team to show off his level in artificer. Gogoat for the grass theme and also his relationship with Zelda since they’re adorable.  I don’t remember why Jumpluff is in his box, I think because it’s a small grass type that reminded him of his parents and upbringing, which I think got replaced by Tinkerton.  Ferrothorn fits the grass type I sort of imagine Gorgug having but also since it’s the only grass/steel dual type I could find I included it.  It’s a tough tank which fits how Gorgug is as the teams tank, I also think that as a grass/steel it fits since Gorgug was trying to make friends by giving people a metal flower the first day of school, it didn’t work, but points for trying.  I think Gorgug’s team fits his role in the party as the tank and the heavy hitter, the big guy of the party that’s usually soaking up the damage as it were.

For his box pokemon, I think Gorgug with his two artificer parents who are if anything over supportive and loving, has a lot of pokemon that he can use, even if they aren’t officially on his team.  Mostly steel types to fit the artificer level he took.  The Perrserker I feel like is Gorgugs, it’s a rage monster, so it fit his barbarian class, but it also scared him so he boxed it after it evolved from a Galarian Meowth since he doesn’t like the angry part of him even though it’s useful in battle.  The Klinklang I feel like was specifically a gift from Digby and Wilma since they’re artificer or at least engineering gnomes.  Diggersby is only in this because Gorgug’s dad is named Digby and I couldn’t resist the pun, and neither could his parents since he probably got it from them, again boxed it right away.     

Fig

For Fig, I tried for a mostly musical theme or at least a sound theme in addition to darker(if not dark type) and fire types.  Which is why Skeledirge is a fire singer pokemon, kind of related to the death theme.  Also why I put Exploud and Wigglytuff on her team since they’re the most famous singer pokemon to fit her idea of the band.  Toxtricity is sort of the epitome of a Fig pokemon in my mind with its punk rock theme, maybe Terastallize into a fire type.  Zoroark is a dark type that fits Fig since she always hides herself as other people, sometimes for personal reasons others for the party to get info, but it is part of her character. And Noivern is again, as sound based pokemon, it’s big dragon type which I think fits Figs flashy powerful bardic abilities.  I can also see Fig using Noivern as an amp for one of her shows so it’s here.  I think that Fig’s team sort of fits her as the jack of all trade of the Bad Kids, she’s a spell caster, she can support with bardic inspiration and musical buffs, but can also be a secondary martial attacker with her bass if needed which fits her type coverage. 

Shellder in the box for little Galier, her oyster that died on her in freshman year.  In this AU she still has it, but it’s not on her team,.  Krookodile is also there because I think it’s a cool girl pokemon that she would have, but I can’t remember the reason I put it here in the first place. Ludicolo and Toucannon are happier, bright singing pokemon compared to her current team which is why they’re both in here.  Oricorio kind of fits a cheerleader, something Fig was before her horns grew in and her skin grew red.  They were from a happier time in her life and belonged to a different Fig so she keeps them in the box. Kangaskhan related to her own issues with her parents, specially her mommy issues after Sandralynn and Gilear divorce and put her in the box to ignore.  Pyroar I also added because it’s a fire type and sound pokemon, but I just remembered it so I don’t really know if it would fit on Fig’s main team or one of her box types so I put it here to give it a place.

Fabian

For Fabian, he’s a fighter, but as a swordsman not a martial artist so steel types seemed to fit for him and water types for his pirate background. Fitting with his sword fighter theme I included some steel types or bladed pokemon, and with the pirate theme I tried to include water types.  Quaquaval is a little goofy duck that I think Fabian disliked or pretended to dislike when he first got it, but it was the newest water type starter so why wouldn’t his parents give their darling boy what he probably asked for not expecting the outcome.  But seeing how the duck is based off dancing, I think it fits his character development in season 2 to dance now. I feel like Fabian’s starter would be one of the last to evolve because he had to be dragged kicking and screaming into his real self.  Aegislash and Corviknight are steel types which fit his swordsmanship ability, and Corviknight I think fits fighters even though Fabian is a wannabe pirate and not a knight.  Ceruledge I also thought it fit the theme even though it’s a ghost fire type, it has blades, it looks like it should be ghost steel or steel fire, so it was included.  While I think Houndoom would have also fit Fig since she’s a tiefling with fire powers and a father whose an Archdevil, I think Fabian should have a Houndoom because of the Hangman, he is Fabian’s bike and iconic companion.  Palafin is what I think a perfect fit for Fabian since it’s a water type and like Corviknight it’s a play on Paladin, while Fabian isn't one, he is a fighter and bard who loves his friends so it fits.  Fabian is one of the martial dps’ of the Bad Kids, using his speed and agility to do damage, hitting hard and fast like his team of pokemon.

 I think in this au, he would have started out with a bunch of really powerful pokemon that he inherited from his parents and him putting them in the box to fight with his own team alongside the other bad kids. Machamp is of course from Bill Seacaster since it’s a very powerful pokemon that a kid wouldn’t have which kind of fits with Bill trying to bribe Daybreak to bend the rules for Fabian on his first day at school.  Mantine as a water type fits the pirate motif. The Tauros as a Paldean aqua breed fits both of those categories as a powerhouse fighting type, but also a water type. I also think the Marowak in his box was a gift from his mother, not his father.  The whole Pokemon Tower sidequest with the dead Marowak and the whole Cubone pokedex entry fits as a gift from Hallariel.  It also uses its boneclub as a weapon, something most pokemon don’t do which sort of fits Hallariel being a secret swordmaster that later teaches Fabian the blade.  I also think she has a Galarian Farfetch’d that Fabian trains with but isn’t really part of his party fitting with the sword motif.  I think since Fabian is a rich kid with parents who are legends in their abilities its safe to say he has a lot of pokemon in the box that he doesn’t use

Kristen

Kristen was pretty hard for me since like Adaine she is a primary magic user and magic doesn’t always translate that well to Pokemon, healers are also difficult because healing is often done by the trainer not pokemon themselves.  I settled on a fairy grass team for her because fairies fit the healing motif and grass for her origins worshiping the corn god, but also slowly shifting to dark to signify her becoming a twilight cleric instead of a life one.  I also sort of incorporated a dog type motif for her because of her relationship with Tracker, specifically Mightyena because it’s a dark wolf like pokemon which fits Tracker to a T.  Venasaur as her starter fits to me because it looks big and slow as a grass starter which fits her -3 dex score. Galarian Rapidash because it’s a fairy type, but also because it sort of a sick joke since the Nightmare King’s Unicorn kills her and takes her out for a bit but lets her speak to the Unnamed Goddess at the time.  Appletun feels like a Kristen pokemon to me, I don’t know why but it fits the grass typing so it stays.  Ursaluna is probably an odd choice, but as a bear pokemon, it fits with her having the teddybear of helpfulness.  It also is an ancient pokemon from Legends Arceus that only the bloodmoon verison appears in Scarlet and Violet, which sort of fits her finding faith in Cassandra, an ancient forgotten goddess that everyone thought dangerous and gone.  And of course Blissey because it’s line is the pokemon Nurse Joys use which fits her role in the party as the healer and buffer of the group. Kristen is the main healer of the Bad Kids who also is the buffer, which is why she has the teddybear, and debuffer for their enemies.  I tried to get her team to show that.  Also to show her as the heavily armored but slow cleric with again her abysmal dex score which is why ⅔’s of her team are pokemon with good defensive/special defense stats that are relatively slow.

Honchkrow and Slowing in Kristen’s box are there because Honchkrow was a gift from her parents, there are no scarecrow pokemon that I can think of so there is a real crow type which was as close as I could get to the Harvestmen.  Slowking because in pokemon 2000, it sort of seemed like a priest type pokemon managing the shrine Ash had to go to and explaining how to summon Lugia to keep things in balance which fits her religious nature as a cleric.  My headcanon for this AU though is that she sort of manifested this Slowking when she came up with Yes as a god so like the god she sort of ignores this Slowking like she ignores the god she made.  Dashbun and Mabosstiff in her box to fit the dog theme and also being fairy and dark types respectively, I think Kristen swaps them out depending on her mood.

Riz

With Riz, I sort of fit a sneaky pokemon motif as a whole with a focus on dark types since he’s a rogue and an investigator.  I think he started with a Rowlet which evolved to a Decidueye as sort of a sneaky ghost type pokemon, Owls are also known for their wisdom and ability to see at night which I think fits Riz even though he’s an intelligence subclass rogue he tends to be one of the more level headed if socially awkward members of the party.  Weaville and Leipard are dark types, both based off of real life sneaky animals that fit Riz as a rogue.  Golisopod is a heavy hitter with first impression which gives it priority and only works on the first turn, which sort of resembles Riz’s sneak attack, his best ability in battle.  Absol is also a dark type, but I also think it fits Riz as a person, because Absols are considered dark and evil because they are sensitive to disasters, they would always arrive right before giving them a reputation of causing the disasters.  I think Riz as a heroic goblin living in a world where Goblins are seen as both evil, but also a joke according to Pok, it fits our sweet little angel boy, and also with him joining the Lower Planar Taskforce that seems to employ heroic people from ‘evil’ races.  As I stated in Adaine’s little blurb, I think Riz originally had a Haunter on his team since it’s a sneaky ghost type, but he traded it for Adaine’s Kadabra for friendship, also having a psychic on his team would be good for an investigator like Riz. As the Rogue of the party, it’s Riz’s job to hit hard and fast and get out of the way because he can’t take damage like Fabian or Gorgug.  It fits that his team is full of glass cannons that can hit for a lot, but don’t have much staying power if they have to take hits.

 For his box pokemon, I think it gets kind of sad since he would kind of inherit them from Pok, like the Arcanine I feel like is more of a pet that Sklonda raised since Growlith and Arcanine are police dogs in the pokemon world and she is a cop. I think for this AU Sklonda and Pok raised the Growlith together, and it sort of became a pet along with the Houndstone who showed up after Pok’s death. I think its arrival actually is what let Sklonda know her husband was gone before the reports came in.  Inteleon was Pok’s strongest pokemon, fitting the theme of him being a secret agent since Inteleon is based off of the same with its tuxedo like coloring and sniper g-max.  I think Riz found Inteleon’s pokeball the same way he found Pok’s crystal and magic gun in the campaign, but unlike in the campaign didn’t feel like making it part of his team/arsenal since pokemon are the same as magical equipment, and Riz would be too underleveled to control it anyway.  Riz let it out as often as he liked because it’s a living creature after all, but its purpose in the AU is more of a break glass in case of emergency. Kecleon I think is one of the few pokemon Riz has caught and put in the box, it fits his team well with it being based off of chameleons who can blend into their surroundings.  I just don’t think it could keep up with Riz’s team

Happy biorth.

Tell me, what is your favorite regional form?

thanks! it might seem very simplistic, but the paldean tauros is, to me, a total game changer in relation to pokemon variations

allow me to explain: in Paldea, tauros has 3 forms

The combat breed, the blaze breed and the aqua breed.

They are considered to be different from each other enough to be called a breed but they aren't different enough to be considered a different evolution, regional form or pokemon.

This is big for me because it proves that pokemon can, canonically, have subspecies and breeds just like real world domestic animals!!!! like a dog can have breeds like dalmatian or chihuahua, a pokemom like tauros can have different breeds and still be considered the same!!!!

Your thoughts on Tauros (both Kantonian and Paldean)?

From the beginning, Tauros has primarily just been one of those Pokemon that Exist. There's nothing objectively wrong with it, but there's not a whole lot to make it stand out; it's mostly just a bull. Being a non-evolving normal type doesn't help with this, as it's not really gimmick-y enough to stand out as a single-stager. The closest thing to a concept it has is the three tails, which it whips itself with while running:

Even then, though, the three tails aren't really emphasized visually in a way that makes them particularly stand out. It also has metallic-looking horns and three dots down its forehead, which I guess are meant to parallel the three tails. (Side note: missed opportunity to not give us a normal/steel-type Tauros.)

All that said, there's nothing really wrong with Tauros, other than the mane looking weirdly flat and the tails and hooves being a blueish-grey instead of just using the grey from the horns. It just doesn't stand out a whole lot.

The artists working on the new Paldean 'mons must have agreed, because SV gives us not one, but three (3) new regional forms for it. I'm not sure what the rational was beyond maybe wanting to give it a form for each tail, but either way, Tauros definitely needed the love.

That said, Combat Breed Tauros here is pointless and I really don't know why it exists. As a regional, it's just a black Tauros; the mane has been improved and the head and horn shape are ever-so-slightly different, but those changes are barely noticeable. And in the context of the other two forms, it's redundant; the combat form is literally just a watered-down version of its other two much better forms. What's the point of having a form that's the same as the other forms, but less?

I will say, though, that I do at least appreciate that there's not really any bullfighting references in this or the other two designs, beyond them just being fighting-type black bulls. Considering bullfighting is more than slightly controversial in Spain and is general animal abuse (that kills a fair amount of people as well), trying to base anything directly on it would be tasteless. This may be boring, but at least it's a harmless boring.

Aqua Breed Tauros is significantly better than both original and Combat Breed Tauros. It still sports the black coloration (which, as a side note, does look a lot nicer than original Tauros' plain browns and grays), but it actually plays around with the design in a meaningful way.

The most obvious change is the blue water drop-shaped markings in its mane, which indicate its fighting/water typing. These add a little pop of color, and frankly, I wouldn't have minded more of it in the design; the horns, head dots, or hooves all easily could have been blue as well.

It also changes Tauros body type a bit, more closely resembling a water buffalo than a bull. According to the 'dex, this is a result of high body fat that allows it to float on water. The mane also sports a different shape, as do the horns (which can light up blue along with the head dots).

Finally, the tails are different. For some reason it's not shown in the official art, but they tend to hold them twisted up, like rudders:

While I personally prefer Blaze Bleed Tauros for reasons I'll get into in a second, the Aqua Breed is a very nice regional that looks substantially different from the original design, and adds more of a theme to it as well.

Blaze Breed Tauros is similar to Aqua Breed Tauros, though with a less distinct body shape and horns. Arguably this makes it a little blander than the Aqua Breed, but what it lacks in body shape it makes up for in concept.

Blaze Breed Tauros is, unsurprisingly, part fire-type; so in order to represent that, they just took Tauros' three tails and twisted them together to form a dynamite fuse. Boom. Simple, effective, and fun. The Aqua Breed's tails weren't bad, but they felt a bit more forced and didn't read as immediately.

In addition, the mane on this breed goes upward, and contains fiery streaks. The horns go outward instead of upward, and just like the Aqua Breed, they light up along with the head dots:

I feel like the light-up idea makes more sense with the Blaze Breed, as it's akin to hot metal flaring up and becoming red with head. The Aqua Breed just kind of lights up Because. Though just like the Aqua Breed, I find myself wanting more color in the design by default. The tails in particular would've been great if they had red tips for this breed, as if the dynamite had been lit already.

Basically, in short: original Tauros is fine, but bland and fairly forgettable; likewise, the Combat Breed is just a recolor and didn't need to exist. The Aqua and Blaze Breeds, however, are both very good regionals; both change up Tauros' original design while adding something thematically to spice up the concepts. Whichever breed you personally prefer, both are significant improvements over the original.

Just a funny coincidence that my past three Pokemon teams (rather, the main team in Shield's case) have been majority ladies with one (1) guy. Thought I'd have those guys together for a bit, hehe X3

BAAAAAH

[Picture of a paldean tauros hybrid, like a minotaur. One of his horns is reminiscent of Blaze breed, while the other is the same as aqua breed. He stands a terrifying 9-10 feet tall. He's basically just grazing and minding his own business]

Scary guy...

Hey, I'm pretty interested in contests, and have noticed a lot of interesting Pokemon while watching them! What exactly are some of the common contest breeds?

(///ooc: I looked through the ENTIRE national dex MULTIPLE TIMES for this. Why? Because I wanted to.)

Hello! There are many different types of contests; beauty pageant style contests, performance based contests, battle contests, I've even seen a sub-type of beauty pageant contests that focus on pokemon that are often considered "too ugly" for regular beauty pageants like Trubbish and Garbodor. I have divided this into different parts. Note: Pretty much every pokemon has an official "contest" breed and official "battle" breed.

First is a list of the top 5 most popular beauty pageant contest pokemon with the three most popular contest breeds of each pokemon.

Pikachu. The three most popular contest breeds are the cosplay breed (obviously), the long tail breed (dedenne father), and the bushy tail breed (pachirisu father)

Eevee and the Eevee-lutions. The most popular contests breeds are the snow coat breed (alolan vulpix or ninetales father), the boots breed (nickit or thievul father), and the blue coat breed (alolan meowth or persian father).

Gardevoir. The three most popular contest breeds are the funeral breed (gothita, gothorita, or gothitelle father), the dolly breed (shuppet or banette father), and the ice cream breed (milcery or alcremie father)

Altaria. The three most popular contest breeds are dancer breed (oricorio father), blood cloud breed (rufflet or braviary father), and the Sylph breed (info can be found here)

Milotic. The three most popular contest breeds are the mosaic breed (Galarian Slowpoke, Slowbro, or Slowking father), tropical breed (horsea, seadra, or kingdra father), and reef breed (johtian corsola father).

Performance contests include using dancing, singing, performing tricks, and other show tasks.

Jigglypuff. The three most popular contest breeds are the positive breed (plusle father), the spotted breed (shroomish or breloom father), and the caroler breed (snorunt or glalie father).

Zoroark. The three most popular contest breeds are the will-o-wisp breed (Kantonian Ponyta or Rapidash father), lake spirit breed (vaporeon father), and the watcher breed (sentret or furret father).

Audino. The three most popular contest breeds are the harlot breed (Spritzee or Aromatisse father), the pigtails breed (Tinkatink, Tinkatuff, or Tinkaton father), and the cheerleader breed (Hoppip, Skiploom, or Jumpluff father)

Absol. The three most popular contest breeds are the Egyptian breed (Kantonian Sandshrew or Sandslash father), the Flood breed (Paldean Tauros Aqua father), and the Eruption breed (Johtian Typhlosion father)

Oricorio. The three most popular contest breeds are the ballet breed (togepi, togetic, or togekiss father), the kickbox breed (hawlucha father), and the masquerade breed (pidove, tranquill, or unfezant father).

The "battle" contests are very similar to the performance contests just with a focus on using pokemon moves within the performance.

The hitmon line. The three most popular contest breeds are the ethereal breed (ceruledge father), the brawler breed (spinda father), and the kick-box breed (Buneary and Lopunny father).

Metagross. The three most popular contest breeds are the sundance breed (Solrock father), the steampunk breed (klink, klang, or klinkklang father), and the collector breed (klefki father).

Ampharos. The three most popular contest breeds are the sunflower breed (Chikorita, Bayleef, or Meganium father), the forest breed (Turtwig, Grotle, or Torterra father), and the snowglow breed (Alolan Vulpix or Ninetales father).

Porygon2. The three most popular contest breeds are the magnetic breed (Magnemite, Magneton, or Magnezone father), the ringer breed (Bronzor or Bronzong father), and the salt lick breed (Nacli, Naclstack, or Garganacl father).

Aegislash. The three most popular contest breeds are the pixelated breed (Porygon, 2, or Z father), the butter knife breed (Sinistea or Polteageist father), and the bread knife breed (Fidough or Dachsbun father).

Then there are "anti-beauty" pageants that focus on pokemon that are often considered too "ugly" for regular pageants. (this is my personal favorite type of contest)

Garbodor. The three most popular contest breeds are the petrified breed (Glimmet or Glimmora father), the run off breed (Bergmite or Avalugg father), and the recycled breed (Vanillite, Vanillish, or Vanilluxe father).

Paldean Tauros

Combat Breed | Fighting

Scarlet: This Pokémon has a muscular body and excels at close-quarters combat. It uses its short horns to strike the opponent’s weak spots. Violet: This kind of Tauros, known as the Combat Breed, is distinguished by its thick, powerful muscles and its fierce disposition.

Blaze Breed | Fighting/Fire

Scarlet: When heated by fire energy, its horns can get hotter than 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Those gored by them will suffer both wounds and burns. Violet: People call this kind of Tauros the Blaze Breed due to the hot air it snorts from its nostrils. Its three tails are intertwined.

Aqua Breed | Fighting/Water

Scarlet: This Pokémon blasts water from holes on the tips of its horns—the high-pressure jets pierce right through Tauros’s enemies. Violet: It swims by jetting water from its horns. The most notable characteristic of the Aqua Breed is its high body fat, which allows it to float easily.
