Redesign:
I knew immediately what I wanted to do after learning the Pokemon and retype assigned. Eliminate the Dark type and its color scheme and change it to a colorful magic sand Sandile. Additionaly taking Ash's Sandile from the anime as inspiration, I added sunglasses but instead of some boring shades I added the fabulous ones from that
SpongeBob meme. adding at the same time the mandatory fairy pink color to the design. Other changes include a change in eye shape to better fit the shades, a single stripe along the whole body and a heart shaped nose.
