Description Well here is my entry for 's contest.

Ampharos here is readying a charge beam to shove down it's opponent's throat

I love Ampharos. He's so cute yet he can kick some butt! Not to mention take a beating!

This has got to be the best piece I've made in a while. I guess it's cause I actually really spent time on it, working out details such as lightning.

Hope you enjoy it!

My HeartGold team contains a level 94+ Ampharos nicknamed Nexus.

Current moveset
Magnet Rise: If you let this proc, Nexus doesn't run any weaknesses other than his low speed for five turns.
Power Gem: Non-Electric attack with no immunities. I really should invest in Signal Beam as it's regularly effective against Ground, but I'm saving up for an Ice Punch for my Weavile first.
Discharge: I like to double duel, and when I do, I summon Nexus and a Golem first. Discharge does zip to Golem, and once Magnet Rise procs, Earthquake does zip to Nexus, allowing them to floor 99% of the game without taking recoil damage. I just have to watch out for Grass and Water, because they can WTFrape my Golem for quad damage, and if/when that happens, I have to switch to Pidgeot and/or Feraligatr. Pidgeot can avoid Discharge every other turn via Fly, but Feraligatr can't dodge it at all. He's in my double duel setup because he can use Earthquake as a backup for Golem.
Thunder: A crapload of power with the side effect being its low accuracy.

it's actually hard to imagine Apharos' thunderpunch, isn't it, with those short little arms. But you did an excellent job!!

I like the complimentary background! Lots of motion!

Wow, this is super cool! ^^
Ampharos is by far my favorite electric Pokemon, along with Rotom. (:
I think it was really creative how you portrayed Charge Beam. It almost looks like a whip! Ouch!
Good job, and good luck!

werepenguin In reply to AlanaRoseheart [2009-07-21 21:10:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks muchly Yeah, He's always in my final party. Nice thing is he's useful against everything except ground types. But even with them, he can learn power gem.

I have also discovered that he can take at least two Earthquakes so I can usually beat them too

AlanaRoseheart In reply to werepenguin [2009-07-21 21:25:24 +0000 UTC]

Ampharos has always been a good Pokemon to have, but I rarely keep one on my team, only if up against a good trainer I'll add one but I lean towards the first 150 Pokemon. In my opinion, they're the best. lol

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

werepenguin In reply to AlanaRoseheart [2009-07-21 21:31:07 +0000 UTC]

I like the first 150 as well (With some exceptions I just can't stand humanoid pokemon like Jynx, Mr. Mime, and Machamp. Don't want em on my team EVER)

I just think that Johto added some of the most clever and interesting Pokemon Most likely because after creating 151 for the first game, they hand to really start thinking outside of the box

AlanaRoseheart In reply to werepenguin [2009-07-21 21:35:16 +0000 UTC]

I HATE humanoid Pokemon! Hitmonlee and Machamp are so...so creepy!
And I do agree, but that's why the first look so cool, because we can relate to our world in some way. The second release are cool, too. Mostly because of the three legendary dogs

Woo hoo! Someone else who hates the Humanoid Pokemon!

It always seems to be either fighting or psychic types too.... Yes, I do love Suicune, Entei and Raikou as well.

Hmmmm. Speaking of legendary trios, I better start on mine sometime......how about penguins!?

Yeah, I commented your Fire Penguin with the same comment I gave you on here, something about 'Adressing his fan-girls'.

Fantasy is amazing! No limit to what you can imagine, create, and destroy!

Haha right Sorry. Here, on deviantArt, I tend to just notice the avatars and don't always look at the names I should redo all those. They were when I first started painting on the computer.
