Let’s actually post some art on here shall we. Only got sketches but they’ll do
Earlier this year a friend of mine on discord was in desperate need of a cheetah bird fusion and I thought it’d be a fun Pokémon design. Thus, I introduce to you:
Tumblr media
Swiftah and it’s evolution, Griffighter! A Steel/Flying line starting off with inspirations of the Mottled Spinetail (a type of Swift) and a bit of cheetah, which evolves into a griffin fighter jet! Yes those are little goggles the guy has, and the evolution is tucking its legs up against its body like how a plane retracts its landing gear after takeoff. (Griffighter also moves its head down into that position, trust me it has better neck posture outside of flying mode).
Technical stuff, this line excels at Speed with solid physical stats. Sp.Def is the dump stat. Abilities would be Keen Eyes (goggles help protect Accuracy) and Battle Armor (armored fighter jet bird/cat thing), with the Hidden Ability being the new Wind Rider ability (nice Attack boost from Tailwind). Speed Boost was considered but this dude is already likely to be one of the fastest Pokémon so it isn’t a necessary ability to have.
