For Mega 24th-Letter, I super-saturated its color palette instead of saddling it with the Pik*chu palette, reverted its tails back to Raichu tails, and made its strange giant nub arms into actual fists so that it could WIELD ITS TAILS LIKE WEAPONS.

Beyond the bizarre antler/hair tuft kind of things on Mega Y, I pulled from an older design I made for a hypothetical Gigantimax Raichu. I made those whatever-they-are into actual antlers, jackalope-style, and made it ride a cloud like a Goku.

I based the pose off of Luffy's on the cover of the first One Piece volume, since Kong Bananza reminded me a lot of Gear 4: Bound Man. They're probably both based off of kabuki make-up, so that makes sense.

I'm not particularly enthused by the Mareep and Flaaffy concepts, but the main genesis of this idea was replacing Ampharos' tail with the Mullein; I threw its pre-evolutions together more as a service to that idea than anything else.

Not my best anatomy work, but there's only so many times I'll revise a reference-free pencil sketch.
