Description

The last Ultra Beast! Loved doing this series. A bit ahead of schedule (this was supposed to debut on 25th) but I was excited to get this one done.


139 | Cyclixir | UBF7: Equivalence | Dark/Dragon

Beast Boost/Equivalent Exchange*

Equivalent Exchange: All stat changes get transfered to the next pokemon in the team upon switching, but leaves Cyclixir with a stat debuff that persists over switches.

Notable Moves Dragon Dance, Synchronoise, Pain Split, Spikes etc.
Basis  Cyclixir is based on the concept of Amount, one of the seven fundamental quantities. It plays on the idea of equivalence of amounts of different substances, and is takes a lot of alchemical ideas, especially from Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. It is physically based on the Ouroboros, a snake that bites its own tail symbolising cyclical flow, mobius strips (a shape with only one side) and contains an Unown motif to give a mystical vibe. The body also looks like an Infinity symbol.
Etymology Cyclic + Elixir

Signature Move: Transmutate
Dark | BP -- | PP 5
The user cuts its own HP in half and sets a hazard that drains 1/8 HP every turn. If the user has half or less HP the user faints.

Dex Entry All of Cyclixir's abilities have a sacrifice something to obtain an alternate power of equal value. Rumors say they can steal people's sould and convert them into energy to attack with.


This Pokemon does not evolve.

This UB kinda looks like Rayquaza for some reasons because of the colour scheme.

The green colour/Dragon-type are the only similarities. Other than that they are totally different concepts. Maybe the body shape if you really squint at it, but Rayquaza isn't a Mobius Strip.

All your Ultra Beasts are designed very well; surreal and alien while maintaining enough coherence to work as monster concepts

I like the nod to unown in its design. Unown is canonically from a different dimension, so it will be retconned as an Ultra Beast that adapted to our dimension.

Could be. They aren't gonna develop UBs anymore like they do with all their good ideas.

Or if they spawned near where you caught this thing.

that to would also work and they could all be the unown that are on it (though that might be pushing it)

ive really enjoyed this ub series. does the writing say "one is all"? also is the giant eye the face or is the dragon head the face?

Paradonyx In reply to chikwik [2019-01-26 10:34:22 +0000 UTC]

Yes.

It's the eye in the centre.

I'm sorry but which unit of measurement is this one based on?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Paradonyx In reply to puglordseba [2019-01-25 04:33:37 +0000 UTC]

The mole or mol for short (I know, weird). 1 mol is the amount of substance that contains 6.022 x 1023 particles.

this is an interesting one, I like the shape (I'm a sucker for serpentine bodies) and I enjoy the unown writing

Paradonyx In reply to FrozenFeather [2019-01-24 04:10:57 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I think the most interesting part is that its eye is in the centre.

Oh my, I think the green color looks even better then I imagined it!
The subtle hints of oranges,browns and reds in the designs are lovely and it really cements this one as something real good

Thank you as always


If you've noticed I've actually tried to do some complementary (and other sets) colour schemes in the UBs.

It says One is All is One is All is... ad nosium


It's a reference to Alchemy and its concept of cyclical flow of energy.


EDIT: also a reference to a specific episode of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
