Formorphus, the Shape Pokémon

Twisted refuse leftover from the creation of the world. It struggles to maintain a physical form.

Signature Ability: Fluctuate Upon taking heavy damage, it may change into a different type. Signature Move: Observe Takes a close look at the opponent and attempts to change into its type.

Formorphus (ORG Forme), the Origin Pokémon

Rarely, when particular circumstances align, it is able to remember the form of its creator.

concept inspired by the pokedex body shape categories and that spooky beta arceus sprite :> it's a bit long but there's more info/comments under the cut if you'd like to read them!!

There wasn't a convenient place to put it in the post proper, but it is a Mythical Pokémon. The ORG Forme is a reference to the Origin Formes that the Creation Trio, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina have, since Formorphus is meant to be somewhat of a relative to them!

I'm not that much of an expert on Pokémon gameplay, so I don't know how well the ability and move are balanced, but I thought they sounded like fun ideas and I wanted to prioritize that the most.

I like the idea of the ability being helpful due it its flexibility (since it only activates as a result of taking strong hits, maybe it would activate on a super effective hit and switch you away from the type your opponent was strong against. Maybe it could even change your type to your opponent's weakness!) but also unreliable due to its unpredictability (you never know what type it'll change into after all, or if it'll even be useful).

The ORG Forme is almost the opposite, with the type having extremely predictable results, but not being very flexible, since the ??? type isn't strong or weak against any types.

I also wanted to make Formorphus somewhat different from Pokémon like Ditto or Arceus in the way that it changes types, hopefully I did at least an okay job hehe.

I did come up with a Shiny, it's not anything that crazy, just the normal colors inverted, but with designs this simple I think it works well enough.

That's about all I have to say. I'm REALLY proud of this concept, I obviously can't take any credit for the designs themselves, but I do think I managed to link them all together in an interesting thematic way, I'm very happy with what I came up with! At the very least, it was fun to draw all these body shape design guy things and spooky beta Arceus my beloved. Thank you for reading this far, hopefully you think this concept is neat!!

And by the way, here's the origin points that I referenced for the drawings hehe. That's it. Bye bye!
