Pokemon Redesign #909-910-911 - Fuecoco, Crocalor, Skeledirge

✨ Paldea Starters ✨

#909.5 - Fuecoco are laid-back Pokemon that do things at their own pace. They are extrememely food-motivated and love to eat. External heat is absorbed by the square scales on Fuecoco’s stomach and back, then converted into fire energy. The sheer amount of fire and caloric energy cannot be contained inside their bodies, and leaks out onto the top of their head. As they grow and produce more energy, the flames atop their head grows as well, forming into a nest-like shape. As Fuecoco age into Caimiente, and later Crocalor, their fire energy and overflowing vitality mixes together, forming into an egg-shaped fireball. Though they use the fireball as a part of their fire attacks in battle, they can be oddly doting over it.

#0910.5 - Crocalor possess an internal flame sac that has a valve connecting it to their vocal cords. As a result, they release fire with every guttural cry. Though they seem to enjoy “singing,” their voice could hardly be described as beautiful. They cannot help but release their voice as they breathe fire attacks, which becomes more destructive as they ramp up their firepower, causing opponents to take extra damage. Fire energy continues to build atop their heads until their fireball “egg” hatches, producing a fiery fledgling with its own unique soul. The presence of this companion grants a Muertodile grace, shaping its voice into a gentle but powerful force that soothes the hearts of all who hear it. The soul in the fireball is able to change its form via the power of an adult Skeledirge’s singing voice; the two rely on each other and possess a special bond.

Named: Fuecoco - Caimiente - Crocalor - Muertodile - Skeledirge

PALDEAN STARTERS

tried my hand at designing the starters! it was very fun to pick out certain aspects i really liked about the pkmn and translate them into pkg

Abierto (♂) Rash, takes plenty of siestas! Arder (♂) Gentle, takes plenty of siestas! Anillo (♂) Naughty, takes plenty of siestas!

Fuecoco Line?

honestly i just wanna take the time to point out how much skeledirge's left eye is messed up, even on the official art. it just looks weird. oh well, this blog isn't meant to fix things now is it?

They are by FAR my favorite starter line from this generation I figured a fire type gator/croc would relax in a lava pool rather than a hot spring

Today's Project Voltage art, Sessions with Flames, is by Magodesu! The Miku design is by Megumi Mizutani!

We also got some clean Paradox Pokemon TCG art via the official Instagram this morning!
