Description
Another Remake! This time it's my Stegosaurid line.(seen here trxpics.deviantart.com/art/Dia… )027-Skarbon(Scute-Carbon)
-Rock
-Ability: Solid Rock (HA Sturdy)
-BST:80/75/150/30/50/25
-Rock Armor pokemon
-"They live in large herds, consuming large amounts of rock and soil with the plants they consume, making their armor even tougher. Very dim-witted, Skarbon are able to think of one thing at a time, often not noticing when their being snuck on from behind. Thanks to their extremly dense hide, most potential attackers are often ignored altogether. When a Skarbon is nearing evolution, it will instinctively venture to Core Cavern, wandering further and further underground to train until it evolves."
When Skarbon is leveled up in an area in Dracora called "Core Cavern", it evolves into:
028-Stegamanto(Stegosauridae-Diamante)
-Rock/Dragon
-Ability:"Diamond Armor"*(HA Strudy)
-BST:95/110/200/30/80/15
-Compressed pokemon
-"After training it's body and spirit in the extreme environment of Core Cavern, Skarbon's rocky hide transformed into a diamond like mineral, far stronger than any known element. Stegamantos are mild mannered pokemon, prefering to wander through large canyons and caves in search of Carbon rich soil and grass to feed out of. When stricken by light, it's body will refract it much like a prism, displaying a magnificent spectrum of colors. During mating seasons, Stegamanto will use a refraction of lunar light to attract each other, making it a much sought after tourist attraction."
*"Diamond Armor"-"The user's diamond hide refracts light based attacks back to the attacker, lowering their Accuracy. Protects the user from Super effective hits."(Light based attacks include Dazzling Gleam, Moonblast, Flash, Luster Purge etc. Lowers the power of super effective hits by 33%)
After due considiration after examining these guys, there were two things that bothered me immensely- Skarbon's much more mature design and Stegamanto's head. With Skarbon looking like, at least, a middle evolution, many things had to be changed in the design to make it look like a first stage. Also, I decided to make it look like a Scelidosaurus rather than a Stegosaurus, for diversity purposes.
Hope you like them!

A well designed fakemon. In the sense of how you balanced it. Even with its insane physical bulk and ability; the mixture of low speed (outside of trick room), average special defence and typing make it so that it can be beaten. Something I give you props on. A question though: is the pokemon totally immune to light based attacks?

Thank you! I always keep in mind how my fakemon should fit in the official metagame. I try to incorporate things that either counter very popular pokemon (Like the Tapus/fairies, Landorus, Greninja,Celesteela etc.) or have tools to get around them, either by the merit of their typing, stats, abilities or all.
Regarding the ability, the moves will fail against it while lowering the accuracy of the opponent, which is pretty OP, but considering that most of these moves are not used that often(except Moonsblast), it's not THAT bad. It simply makes it a better tank than Rhyperior for example, since it has a better defensive typing, better Sp. Defense and a MUCH higher Defense stat.

I really like the designs of these critters, but don't you think Diamond Armor's a bit too strong? Shouldn't it be a one-or-the-other effect?

Haha yeah, I may have gone overboard with this ability, but there is a reason to it. Stegamanto is a pokemon whose body is incased in an incredibely dense minerals, so I must portray it's defensive capabilities with a powerful ability, so Diamond Armor has similar effects to Solid Rock. Furthermore, since I've given this Diamond like material the refractive abilities of a prism, whicch Stegamanto uses as a way to both communicate and warding off attackers, I had to include that part as well in the ability description. But I probably should remove the immunity to status, since that is really too much.
BTW Thank you for the comment! I really appreciate it!

Oh yeah! I really dig the meta-designing of Pokemon, especially new aspects and assets.

Thank you! It's one of the things that I really like with the new pokemon, and I feel like it really gives them a much deeper lore and personality when compared to pokemon from previous generations.
