About Horockizon... I dunno about you, but I've already thought of a name for a new ability for it. If it were to get a new ability, I'd call it 'Dusk Til Dawn'. I think it sounds sick.

[@slylanders1291]

I forgot about your Appletun evolution idea; I like it and Pterodapple equally and feel like there should be a chance for Flapple and Appletun to evolve further if Dipplin can do it (it's an evolution of a pokemon from Gen 8 for crying out loud along with Archaludon). I thought you used the word Ronin for Shedonin's name, but that's a name for a wandering samurai; I never heard of a Jonin before today. It's an eerily cool design for a pokemon nonetheless. Gotta love Horockizon, it screams edgy dusk vibes just by looking at it! Base stat total-wise, I'd say give Pterodapple a 540 along with the Appletun evo to match up with Hydrapple since the previous forms have a total of 485 each. Shedonin could have a total of 326, and Horockizon's could be 500-535. All of these are just ideas since I never made stats for any of my own pokemon before; but I am willing to do it sometime next year.

[@mingro7182]

I would give Shedonin the ability "Doom Guard" with the effect of negating any damage that is not resisted. Basically changing 5 weaknesses to 4 weaknesses (Poison, Ground, Bug, Grass). This could be a cool contrast to "Wonder Guard".

[@Alpha-Ph]

Or doom guard could be used on an enemy Pokémon to increase its weaknesses

[@Blackrunnerrising]

I headcanon that the reason Dipplin got an evolution is because it wasn't introduced in galar, meaning it missed out on getting a gigantimax form which Flapple and Appletun got (since there's no unique terrestral forms unless you're a dlc cover legendary), like how I once heard that Mega Banette was like a counterpart to Dusknoir since Banette never got a new evolution and those two lines were originally counterparts.

[@atamonnoth4300]

I LOVE Prerodapple’s design. As for Shedonin, I think something that would work would be to keep it at 1HP (maybe 2 for symbolism) and have an ability that would be the exact same as Wonder Guard except that it also protects from status conditions. It could be called something like « Perfect Guard », as it is (almost) perfect to survive.

[@fabiocandelori9163]

To build upon this, make it protect from status, weather and traps. Basically a mix of Wonder Guard and Magic Guard.

Shedonin could also get a move that changes the pokemon's type, like Porygon, so you could play around a bit more with dodging hits and stalling with immunity.

[@aidandecavitte4758]

@@thomaswhittingham4666 If I was like that, I would say, bump up the health 8 times, but make the weaknesses noneffective against it, giving it the levitate ability, since it is supposed to be an undead creature, floating, and maybe strong insect attacks, be very effective against others since, some insects will feed on larger animals. like ants or something. and particularly ones that Thicke does, the insect that this Pokémon is based on, that they eat in real life, they would be strong against, but not insect Pokémon like themselves. and speaking of the cadas, they're not just the loudest insect, but they are also: A herbivorous insect which means, type. would not have an effect on them. Instead, they would try to hit them. They would be immune to grass types, and basically. if hit by a ghost or bug type move, they get killed instead of them, because the cicadas are herbivorous insect. I also would agree with the miracle guard ability.

[@PorygonTrainerPory]

I feel like Shedonin could be like Palafin, where in battle when it is first sent out, it looks just like Shedinja, but when its ability activates negating the damage it took, it becomes its true form, the one in the video. You could rename your Shedonin back to Shedinja for some trickery in battle. I kinda wanna use this concept now lol.

[@vivekamaddi7890]

As a Desi Lycanroc fan, I love Horockizon 🤩🤩🤩 His design makes love the Rockruff line even more.

[@treybrzezowski3259]

Alternate Idea for Shedonin: Lean fully into the Glass Canon Playstyle. Don't give it any New Stats, just reallocate its currently useless defense stats into Attack and Speed. It has a total 75 Base points split between the 2 defenses, and there's the 30 from the special attack stat that it frankly isn't using. So we have 102 extra Base Stat Points to work with (not 105 because no stat can equal 0, so the other three stats are left at 1). First we give 80 points to Speed bringing it to 120, and 4 to Attack bringing it to 130. Wonder Guard makes it so that most moves won't hit it, and if it's in a Generation where Tera is a thing... Tera Electric with an Air Balloon makes Shedinja (and Shedonin) completely invincible to direct damage. The only thing that would be able to hurt it is a Sandstorm.

[@welavolcanowarrior9410]

Or a status like burn or poison if I'm not mistaken?

[@treybrzezowski3259]

@@welavolcanowarrior9410 Had to go and check that one, indeed Statuses can do damage through wonder guard, I just assumed moves that cause them (Will-o-Wisp, Toxic, etc) wouldn't actually hit Shedinja. Entry Hazards would also still hit it.

[@hyugalubbok7770]

you might know an fan-made "live pupa" ver of Shedinja, that turn into "hollowed chrysalid" shedinja we all know after Ninjask hatch? like an actual cicada cycle - they hatch, underground for 17 years (nincada) grow into a pupa and claim to a tree (pupa-nincada) and then hatch as ninjask, when the shell became shedinja.

[@emanueljohansson5956]

I would suggest Shedonin to still have one hp. This avoids any chance for the pokemon to be broken, since you would otherwise be able to put some ev's into it (which if it's hp is a base stat of even just 2 would give it an hp stat of 109 at lvl 50 and an hp stat of 208 at lvl 100), but I think making miracle guard a version of wonder guard that makes the bearer immune to the effects of weather would be a nice upgrade that isn't to op seeing as all the ability would do is nake it less manditory to give it the safety goggles and can allow it to use a focus sash instead to give it an extra turn on the field.

[@michaelwatkins4155]

Or you could just actually give it a base stat total higher than 120 or whatever it is (90 attack 30 speed IIRC). Since it's HP, Def, Spec Attack, and Spec Def stats are all completely worthless. A more meaningful damage value and speed stat would make it much more useful, while still keeping it's same weaknesses and counters intact in weather and traps.

[@kennethaninon6913]

I could also suggest Ninjask, whose evolution is Bug & a secondary type of choice & has Max Base Speed stat of 255, like Blissey's 255 HP

[@BCTheEntity]

Horockizon could probably be rendered more effectively as Rockrizon. Same base of "rock" and "horizon", but now with the implied affiliation with dawn you wanted, on account of how dawn is when the Sun's "rizon". Maybe to match that, its colour scheme could shift somewhat to match an early-morning colour scheme, and even make an association with Venus as the morning star. As for Shedonin, I'll admit, I thought it was based on ronin at first, but jonin's a good reference word. I like the idea from another commenter that it pretends to be a regular Shedinja initially, then after tanking a supereffective hit enters its "Real Forme" to reveal its enhanced statline, and perhaps an immunity to status conditions alongside Wonder Guard's typical benefits or a variation thereof.

[@PuppetSquid]

Pterodapple is cool, but its weird having the apple segements get bigger and even regrowing them around its tail. It kind of throws off the scale. Let me propose instead; Treeadapple. Seeds from the apple this pokemon grew in have taken root along its arms, blooming into large bushy wings that can sprout new fruits for the next generation. Treeadapple have been known to sleep standing upright on their long, tree-trunk like tails, which they also use as clubs if unwittingly disturbed. This makes them into a potential sudowodo like fake-out pokemon, and also references the Lambton Worm which was said to pull up trees to use as clubs. With that said, the similar-but-distinct Limton Worm could be a great inspiration for a different Appleton evolution, using its links to gluttony and eating.

[@REDAC-ze6kj]

An idea for the Shedinja evolution could be that its new ability additionally makes it immune to non direct damage (poison, burn, leech seed, etc.) so it can ONLY be taken down by a super effective attack, like what I can only presume was the original idea when designing Shedinja 🤔

[@D0uggie]

With Shedonin I quite like the idea of reversing the wonder guard ability to making it only take damage from moves its resisted against rather than moves it is weak against

[@atamonnoth4300]

What if Miracle Guard is a hidden abillity that reduce all damage and healingit recives to 1 instead. A Shedonin with maxed out HP would then have 5 HP on Lv 50, making it still possible to oneshot it with a multi-hit attack. Additional the opponent would need to figure out if it has Miracle or Wonder Guard. Leftover combined with Miracle or Fokusstash with Wonder Guard and Disable could be broken.

[@DJCosmicLatte]

The Shedonin ability discussion, coupled with its design, gave me a neat idea -- keep the Wonder Guard as it is, maybe even leave it at 1 HP, but with a form change to shake things up. Instead of fainting the first time it's hit, its exoskeleton shatters, leaving the ghost inside fully exposed and stripping it of its Bug type. In this form, it retains its 1 HP and Wonder Guard, but with less weaknesses and perhaps a little speed boost and physical attack nerf now that it isn't covered in physical objects.

[@AverageTeenageYoutuber]

For Appletun’s evo (I didn’t watch the video, so pls correct me if it doesn’t make sense) I would call the move that it evolves with, dragon gorge, which increases the defense (different, I know) of all allies while also, if there are enough berries in your inventory, each party member will get a random berry to hold for the duration of the battle, after which it will be sent back to the inventory, if there are not enough berries, then the first members in the party get the berries

[@matesyay]

in case of Shedonin, I'd probably make it so it can only take damage from attacks that are not very effective, since bug and ghost has 5 weaknesses and only 4 resistences.

[@Apouldood]

at this point it is just a digimon evolution tree

[@Terradragoon]

I always thought that if shedinja evolved, it would gain a sort of "hero's hp" system (locked 3 hp, but damage towards it is capped at 1 and multi-hit moves are ineffective so at best you can take it down in 1 turn if you set sand, status, AND hit it, but otherwise it could take up to 3 turns). On that note: false death/false defeat (any attack is reduced to 1 damage, and sheds a shell that blocks all further damage from the attack). The trade-off for taking further hits is that it is affected by all types, so shedinja retains its own gimmick without being completely overshadowed.

[@jarrodnisly3333]

Miracle Guard Shedonin holding a Focus Sash would be on every one of my teams, Jesus

[@hojdoj3567]

my take on shedonin which was also inspired by other commentors here pure glass cannon: -can only have 10 hp -lowest possible stats for defense -all stat points relocated to both attack and speed still has an upgraded version of wonder guard that negates all non-attack damage (i.e statuses and weather) has a new hidden ability that locks it's max hp to 10 and causes all changes to hp to be reduced to 1 this does affect revives

[@dippin4dots]

Shedonin should get an ability called Wonder Turn-around, Shedonin gets a real HP stat, maybe a fairly high hp stat, can take damage by Non-Super Effective moves, but can't get killed by them, leaving it at 1 hp. And the Lower HP stat its at the stronger it is, but to balance this, Super Effective moves have a 1.5x multiplier to damage than they would normally get, effectively being 3x as effective. So to clarify, "Super Effective moves deal 3x the damage, rather than 2x. Only oncoming Super effective moves can faint the Pokemon, otherwise it damages the pokemon until it reaches 1hp. The lower the HP it's at, the stronger it becomes." This is so that the Shedonin still has the unique play style of, "I should only use super effective moves" but with the added nuance that other moves can hit it until it reaches a lower percent so the Super Effective move ensures to KO, with the added risk of making the Shedonin a lot stonger as a result.

[@mercury-VQ]

Shedonin could have a buffed variant of Wonder guard with magic guard that can be “Miracle Guard” or a variation of magic guard that would make it effected by passive damage that is “super effective against it” For example (assuming Shedonin is Bug/Ghost type): Burning or Stealth rock kills Shedonin upon entry, however leech seeding/spikes/hail/confusion/toxic shouldn’t kill.

Cool designs. I've been trying to think of names for Applin branch evos and IDK why I didn't think of Pteradapple for Flapple, its actually a great name for it. I also agree a move based Evo for all the Applin branches seems appropriate given the precedent set by Dipplin and Hydrapple. As far as the Lycanroc evolution name, while I think Horockizon sounds cool (not just for a Pokemon, but like a DnD character and such as well) I would like a name that sticks with the families naming scheme a bit more, that being not only having the word rock in there somewhere, but also a word relating to them being dogs or wolves (Ruff for Rockruff as one of the sounds dogs make and Lycan for lycanroc as another name for a Werewolf), so maybe something like Rocanthrope or Rockwolf or something like that to play off Lycanthrope (the full version of the word Lycan) or Werewolf. Shedonin is an interesting idea. I'll be honest I thought the -onin part of the name was going to be Ronin (a masterless Samurai) but Jonin works as well. I do think it makes sense for it to be an upgraded Shedinja in terms of stats and ability and such, so the Ability could still operate like Wonder Guard, but maybe anything that isn't Super Effective on Shedonin that gets used on it is redirected back at the attacker but as typeless damage (so the same type of damage done when a confused Pokemon attacks itself or the same type of damage done during Struggle) or does like 1/8 or 1/16 max HP every time it activates or something like that in addition to the standard Wonder Guard effect, like a Ninja stealthfully counterattacking. I'm sure it would probably make it too OP but maybe it could be one of the few effects that aren't effected by things like Mold Breaker and Ability changing effects and whatever. Maybe to balance it out or whatever Shedonin can't be given things like the Focus Sash to hold (if you go with the 1 HP build of it).

I like your Pterodapple design. I saw another branched evolution for Flapple and Appletun, though the Flapple evo wasn't that well designed in my opinion (the Appletun evo was perfect though).

[@beanman9760]

I have an idea for an ability for Shedonin. Call it Shadow Guard, since it is a ninja, and have it be an upgraded version of wonder guard much like you said. With playing into the ninja-like style you could have it have a heightened evasion stat, or even, give it an evasion boost when hit by a super effective move. So you'd still have to use something like a focus sash, but then you'd get the boost afterwards.

I’d make my friend mad in Hoenn games using Shedninja against him

[@8829patrickcox8829]

8:16 i think it would be better if it had it's defenses set 1 or zero, and have the excess points placed in it's attack(s) and/or speed

Finally my favorite line is getting some love. Nincadas line is too ignored!

[@circledude2362]

Here's idea. What if Eevee had clones like Pikachu? Like Kirlia and Charcedet can become clones of eevee

[@randomperson-up2hv]

I think it would be interning if flapple and appletun evolved into a wyvern and drake respectively so that all the final evolutions are deferent types of dragons with hydrapple being a hydra.

[@izzyviridian1485]

I would go with something maybe called, "Decooyguard" and have it be something you choose before battle, and it overrides Shedonin's typing and lets you choose any type, or maybe two types?, you want.

[@dannygillmor2337]

Dragon Glare should also allow fairy types to be hit by dragon type moves

[@Enderblaze314]

Shedinja is one of my favorite bug types and Shedonin is also very cool

[@Agent_Nin]

bro has forgot the fact that dragon gaze + axe pokemon (forgot the name)'s execution = insta kill that always hits

[@Milkisbestdrink]

I like apples

[@LaneLaine4892]

I like oranges

😮

[@spookymoblin8888]

What if Shedonin has 2 HP but only ever takes 1HP of damage from any damaging attack?

[@dfile7598]

For more branch evolutions, i was thinking Wrumple having final evolutions with different secondary types besides Flying or Poison.

[@gurukay500]

I think you should make Shedoinin a parasite Pokémon. Have it evolve from Shadinja after leveling up after participating in a double battle.... and give it an ability called parasite pact, which is basically making it unable to be fainted unless it's partner Pokémon is fainted in a double battle outside of that it still works just like Wonder Gaurd

[@RaltsGang]

for shedonin, give it wonder guard that blocks hazards

[@starshot9418]

Shedonin should have offensive wonderguard. Any super effective move it makes is an ohko - at the cost of him having 1hp
