…I accidentally used raster lines when I meant to use vector for this entire sheet lol;; So I can't clean it, but may finish later. Based on early HCs w/ @littlescorpio.bsky.social when SolRosco were still a duo team, details in the alt text /o/

My first [and only, thus far] attempt at Yamm's headdress, very early into figuring out his design. I want to give it another try b/c I have a shape in mind (not a octo/squid head shape tho, no) but this is my struggle with all the headdresses lmao

Incredible how I didn't care for Impidimp at first but then I took a real shine to Morgrem, and gave its basic stage another look. An early first (and second) attempt at drawing them in my style, I guess.

Didn't forget about this, just been tired/busy! I drew this of Serqet while listening to Gaga's "Garden of Eden" on loop. Idk if I'll finish it as is or completely redraw it (you can see me fighting with her posing) but the concept exists, at least.

(And yes ofc I primarily did it for the Delphox stone. But I still got to Rank K during my stress test, so I guess I could have done it without the nerf and got some other goodies along the way!)

Overall tho ranked battled aren't as irritating as I thought they would be. It's chaotic af and depends a little on luck with w/e players you end up with, but the rhythm of it is pretty fun

I kinda wish we could run tho, if only to get myself out of accidentally crouching at the worst moments plsss

IT EVEN WORKS ON BENCHES WITH ALL 6 POKEMON /SOFT!!!!!!!!!

Next one I aim for will probably be Shenhe's C1, and after that I'm not sure who else I'd want who would be a boon. Maybe a standard banner unit to get closer to earning a Masterless Stella Fortuna in the distant future.

But for now I can slack a bit from babysitting my resin for the next 4 weeks--

Honestly would be fun to doodle them all, but I don't know if I have the speed to draw 12 different mons -- even the ones I'm well practiced with drawing.

I also want to add a few more team members in the post game / name them accordingly, so we'll see!

There were more I wanted to train but if I did I would have progressed more slowly -- training 12 at once is a lot. But I indeed rotated them in an out as needed! It also helps that the majority can mega-evolve -- Roserade is the only outlier here (and Delphox will, eventually).

He genuinely surprised me with how much a short king he was--

I actually want Jahoda, but idk if I want Durin to get her... and I'm considering Columbina now cuz she grew on me... so I'll see how I feel based on how much I save as well 🤔

But that can all wait until after I get my fix with Pokemon lmao--

I wasn't planning to get all 3 honestly, Lauma was going to be a skip but I also didn't have a decent Dendro support (I didn't like Nahida's playstyle), and Lauma kinda powercrept her 😂

It just works out that she's also Nefer's premium support, which I usually tend to skip for other hypercarries

Yeahhh I know that some speedrun the game to share content, but not all of it are good-faith takes. Esp. the ones saying the battles are too chaotic, etc

Maybe if they /took their time/ exploring and practicing the battle mechanics, and not brute-forcing their way thru, they might enjoy it more?? 😂

Actually, it baffles how some finish the games in 24 hours or less. I know you /can/, but the game encourages exploring the city and completing wild zones, it's a fun way to pace things

Not to mention that /not/ exploring means missing out on some key items that could make late game easier, so ya--

I'm going to sit on them while I continue the story and share their progress later, but at the very least my Meganium has a nickname now -- Fleur[-de-Lis]! If that gives a hint to the theme ✨
