[@stampie6881]

Tbh iron jugulis is probably the worst paradox form in my opinion? It just looks so uninspired and bland, they somehow made hydreigon look worse. Though i feel that way about all the violet paradox forms, they just look uninspired and bland compared to scarlet's paradoxes where they completely redesigned the pokemon instead of "This pokemon... but ROBOT!" I'm also not a fan of robots though lol, I'll admit they are probably the coolest pokemon ever to people who enjoy robots
