i think it's funny that in competitive pokemon the historically best pokemon under rain have been, like... fish, fish, whale, bird, bird, fish, plant, fish, frog, toad, fish, lobster, fish. and then Bridge
First we have Applin’s new evolution, Dipplin. It’s seems to be themed around caramelized apples you would commonly find in Japanese summer festivals. It’s typing and the way to evolve is unknown.
Next up we have Archaludon! It’s the evolution of Duraludon. The way to evolve it is unknown.
And then we have two new Paradox Pokèmon, Raging Bolt (the Past Paradox form of Raikou) and Iron Crown (the Future Paradox of Cobalion).
The most exciting thing about the new trailers for the Pokemon Gen 9 DLC is that giving Applin and Duraludon (two Gen 8 pokemon who were mainly defined by their Gigantamax Forms) brand new evolutions is that they're effectively confirming that mechanic is dead and fuckin' buried.
Drayton as the Champion of Unova! I mainly did it for my rewritten version of my old AU, but I didn't want to keep it for myself. I technically wanted to do something for Kieran, too (even if it's not going to be used) but I didn't have time ç_ç and it's a shame I can't draw in Pokémon style anymore but I'll slowly practice
Bonus details & more under the cut!
And yes, Jenna made his outfit! Drayton commissioned her (at this time, she was already Elite Four lol)
