Concept: To Spaceworld!
Name: Tunguru
Type: Normal/Psychic
Base Stats: 100 / 65 / 85 / 120 / 85 / 30
Height: 4’4ft
Weight: 199.5lbs
Notable Moves:
Physical: Body Slam, Snore,
Special: Dream Eater, Fire Blast, Ice Beam, Hidden Power
Status: Sleep Talk, Rest, Swords Dance, Curse, Protect, Encore
Flavor/Moves: Lickitung’s movepool + Encore and Psychic
Competitive Design: Without it encroaching too much on Snorlax or Blissey's ability to take special hits, Tunguru is a pink blob that moves slow and blasts things hard, with it's low Attack stat it has to Curse many times or Swords Dance to properly keep up on that front, and with the addition of Encore and Psychic it's able to threaten new targets and help separate it even more from the bulky normal types it oh so often has to compete with. Encore has limited distribution so this is a pretty neato way to maybe let it shine on someone who can properly abuse it.
It’s a bit like a special Snorlax, but where Snorlax has more niche special moves, this lad has a more niche physical set it can opt for. :)
Visual Design: Based on the Beta Lickitung evolution from the Gold and Silver Demo
Flavor: “Now strong in both tongue and mind, Tunguru aims to enlighten both Pokemon and humans alike.”

Competitive Design: Gengar is labeled “an assassin” in some of the GSC stuff I’ve read and after watching and playing a bit I agree! So I wondered what about a physical assassin instead? How the labeling works is a more ‘frail’ pokemon that hits hard and fast, but has some strong offensive presence with it an immunity to a powerful type. For Gengar they can switch in on a lot of Normal moves and threaten that way… Zephyreon can do something similar by jumping over ground type moves, it also(like Gengar) has no real viable STAB option and relies on it’s high Atk and Speed to punch a hole into the opposing pokemon. It lacks boom though, but makes up for it with it’s diverse Eeveelution movepool.
Visual Design: Like all it’s brethren whose design corresponds with their respective typing, Zephyreon embodies the element of wind without going for typical Flying Type traits like wings and beaks. The art made by me pictures it soaring through the skies looking for its next challenge. The tufts on its front are feathery and soft to the touch.
Flavor: “While capable of soaring through the air, this Pokémon enjoys daring mountainside climbs before nosediving off for maximum speed.”
