It certainly took a while, but I finally completed it! Shifting Emboar's Hidden ability down leads to a bit of an unlikely ability matchup: Refrigerate Emboar!
I tried to implement some ice-like characteristics into Emboar's design without compromising its Fire-type traits. Its signature beard of fire is now a wreath of ice crystals, and jagged sheets of ice creep across its arms. Its pattern in the center has changed, too!
This was a lot of fun to work on! I'll definitely be participating in future contests.
