*Pokemon receives less damage dependant on the difference in height.
-Example: Joltik won't do jack sh*t against this guy.
=============================
EDIT(11/17/16): New artwork + small edits, new HA, new height/weight, and new BST!
This update's more or less just an art update for my favorite redwood sauropod here. Everything remains mostly the same from a design standpoint, though the legs have gone under their third reiteration. Now they're more bulkier to support this massive tree trunk! The bottom leaves covering Sequodon's neck are now a full ring rather than separate. Very small change, but it looks better I feel.
Now from a technical perspective, I've upscaled Sequodon's size by double it's original size! I can't have Alolan Exeggutor claim the tallest Grass-type spot, no sir! Now Sequodon's in the leagues of Wailord! In addition to this, I've added a new hidden ability to replace Oblivious, as I feel if it's not easily accessed, it should be good to boot! Colossus is an ability I've used for some past Pokemon/Mega/FUSEmon concepts with the default effect being it reduced damage from smaller Pokemon. The ability still functions the same way, but I've made a small adjustment to make it more balanced. The bigger you are, the harder Sequodon will fall! Otherwise, Sequodon's gonna be staying around in the long run! Considering Grass isn't the best defensively, this ability guarantees a good trade off as a tank compared to other options. With this adjustment, I've swapped Sequodon's BST with Dr-Goom 's alternative offering, as I admit I didn't do a good job picking the initial min/max'd stats he provided. My apologies for that!
That's all for now folks!

Old Artist's Notes:
EDIT(09/22/15): Added BST provided by !
EDIT(03/20/13): New display template, number, and design!
A previously unnumbered Fakemon has now officially joined the Fakedex! More unknown numbered Fakemon to join Sequodon in the upcoming days! About the changes, I added a small tail and tweaked the legs a bit. The stubby legs were really starting to bug me, so I made them more 'bulkier'. The shading was also tweaked a little to make the colors stand out more.

I just love how this turned out. You can call this goliath a close relative of Tropius.
Sequodon is another spontaneous idea I thought up, based on my state's giant trees. Like its real-life dinosaur counterpart, its nostrils are located above its head in small slits. I'd imagine these guys to be rare sights in select forests around Excelo. Imagine the shock you'd get if ya encountered one in that tiny little patch of grass. XD
Unlike Tropius, Sequodon takes a role much akin to Wailord's. Massive HP, decent offense and defense, and a low speed. To fully use Sequodon competitively, one must bring out the sun to power it up. Leaf Storm, Wood Hammer, Seed Bomb, and Growth, among other Grass-type attacks are in its movepool. It also learns some non-Grass-type attacks in Earthquake, Heavy Slam, Ancient Power, and Stomp. Synthesis, Rest, and Ingrain are also recovery moves that are learned through level-up.

For some reason, I can imagine this Pokemon saying, "Excuse you. I am a F*** Mothering Tree. Do I look like I care?"

his body and legs seem a bit too plain. Just like meganium, its legs and body are simple, but theres more detail in the neck. In fact, it seems like a male, alternate evolution to meganium (Like Gallade and Gardevoir)

Dragonith In reply to MrSmash02 [2015-09-23 18:36:37 +0000 UTC]
While it is certainly an improvement to how its legs used to look, I do agree they should get another overhaul. I'll see about revamping it later.

I actually like it as is, honestly. Sometimes simplicity is nice, and the body being more bare makes sense as the base of a tree is usually more bare anyway.

Those stats are very unbalanced, I must say.

Kyuzeth In reply to Dr-Goom [2015-09-23 21:02:26 +0000 UTC]
Its Special Attack and Speed are absolutely abysmal. Even Pokémon that have no use for particular stats rarely have them at such low levels, and combined with that absurd HP, it's just very unbalanced and min-maxed.

Dr-Goom In reply to Kyuzeth [2015-09-23 21:21:38 +0000 UTC]
Well, to be fair it's not described as a fast Pokemon. Drago clearly stated that it's HP's on par with Wailord and is more of a wall, plus, some Pokemon have very low stats that they find no use for. For example: Look at Ferrothorn, his speed is the same as Sequodon and Excadrill has a useless Sp. Atk stat as well.

Kyuzeth In reply to Dr-Goom [2015-09-23 21:25:58 +0000 UTC]
Even then, none of that is an excuse for making its stats so min-maxed. Excadrill is a faulty comparison, on top of all that: it may have garbage Special Attack, but its Defense and Special Defense are low enough to counteract its high HP stat, making its bulk rather average. Its Speed stat may not be the highest, either, but that's because it can amp that up with Sand Rush.
The problem with your spread is that it has next to no weak points.

Sorry, I'm not really catching along with you. Are you saying that Sequodon is unbalanced?

Dr-Goom In reply to Kyuzeth [2015-09-24 14:50:59 +0000 UTC]
Well, my second example was more balanced but Dragonith didn't pick that one. Now, please stop whining about a Fakemon's BST. It's getting annoying now.

I love this just as much, if not more than everyone else commenting on this. I think it needs to be more of a starter than tropius. This could be its bad ass final stage.

SnazzyPanic [2014-09-04 11:45:02 +0000 UTC]
Should have a move called Pine Storm - Fire's thousands of pines at all Pokemon on the field 110 damage, drop's its defence by two stages.

Tree dinosaurs are awesome! They'd be awesome during the day with the sun boosting their power, but at night, they'd be even cooler because you'd think you were alone and then it'll say hello and frighten you.
