Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
@Tortipouss:
I feel like the armor, shield and sword make it too "steel type"ish. If you could somehow incorporate these things into it's actual body (i.e. its hide looks like a dark knights armor, its hands looks like a sword and shield.) I dunno, just an idea.

The middle and...
@Gun6:
I wasn't sure how I felt about the bright teal kinda color at first... but I think I really like it now. Good stuff.
@SEO:
Personally, I like the poses where you have a better view of it's face. The sort of emotionless face is a great part of your design. Although I like your new pose...
I like the idea of the Trace strategy.
I also really like the Motor Drive strategy. I always thought this was fun when playing with Gyarados and Electivire. It seems a bit odd flavor wise, but it fits the idea of working with a flying type.
And of course the 'benefit from status' or...
I voted for Zari's.
I'm ok with all the special attack stats. 101 seems good. I've a fun time using pokemon such as Starmie in the OU game. Speedy pokemon with special attacks around 100 are fun to use.
Speaking of speedy pokemon with high special attack like Starmie, I like the speed...
Ok. So, I made it uh... well... I... you see... now it has...
...well, I made it... less...
It's less... boobish....
I hope it's at least down to "gardevoir level" now. haha
I also made the hands a big larger.
I also included the alternate coloration that I liked the most, but input on the...
@ Chaoscrippler:
I'd like to see some color and details on this guy.
I'm afraid it might look too much like a steel type though.
@ SoIheardyoulikeSENTRET:
I like 5 and 8 personally, 8 the best. I like 6 too though. 7 might look too much like a steel type.
Oh dear... "indecent"... "more rule34 than gardevoir"... should I 'de-sex-ify' it?
Also, I see what you're saying about the Mismagius comparison... I think it's the eyes. Is this a problem?
Here are some different color ideas, as well as fix to the torso area...

So the things I initially took into account for this were the stat spread and the...
The colors don't seem to go well together. I don't really get "dark type" from the brown, blue, orange combo. He kind of just looks like a generic fighting type. I feel if you pushed it just a bit more in the "dark" direction, this could be a good design. I can't think of anything off the...
@ Tortferngatr:
It's arms are kinda stumpy. But with some refinement I think this could be a good idea.
@ Venator:
I'm imagine this being a sort of purple with red eyes... like a gengar type color scheme. Or dary grey with some sort of brightly colored eyes. Something about it makes me...
input appreciated. thanks.
Also,
@Buffalo Wings:
Your design is great. I feel it fits in with pokemon very well and fits the criteria pretty well.
I personally liked the dark purple color scheme the best, and the new symbol works better in my opinion.
My interpretation of a dark/fighting counterpart to Togekiss.
If people like this idea, I'll rework a bit.
I've also got another idea I'ma post up in a bit.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.
