[jagged ledge]

Not really, no. Unless you have like a designated order you put heads then bodies on your grid, but that's optional.

[lusty sinew]

POKENAME moves slowly, its body crackling with quiet (meaning you can't hear it) heat. The ground beneath it hardens into smooth black stone, and travelers often use its trail to navigate unfamiliar terrain.
how is it?

[jagged ledge]

Also real quick, no worries about the tags, I can sort through easily enough later with a few notes tonight, I'm just not in a great position to make notes now and will be leaving soonish, so I just like having a record

"Take great caution around a POKENAME, as it can release incredible power when fully wound." And you're good. 👍

[ivory pewter]

Thx!

[regal cedar]

haha, this is really clever

[jagged ledge]

Formally saying it in case you missed my thumbs-up, looks good, no notes

[lusty sinew]

could i get feedback pls

[jagged ledge]

Sorry, going in order and I'm riding in a car so my wifi is not great

I will respond to yours once I make it down the line. 👍

[lusty sinew]

ok

i'll change it then before you look

because i made a mistake in spelling

[jagged ledge]

No h in exude, otherwise looks good.

Dexdoku: Future is Now
Electric and Psychic

Electrode/Bruxish (101.469)

When POKENAME uses its psychic powers and detects something approaching in the vicinity, it buries itself in the sand, with only the Poké Ball-shaped protuberance hanging out. Those who approach it out of curiosity are shocked with explosive energy.

[lusty sinew]

what fusion is that with bruxish?

[jagged ledge]

I think it works. An encyclopedia referring to a local slangy event would use the connotation and vernacular associated with such an occasion.

...Yes, I wrote a bit fanciful on purpose

[regal cedar]

Electrode!

[jagged ledge]

There's no rock type on the current dexdoku? Also are the parenthesis part of the entry?

The intro to the second sentence is really good, but the rest could use a bit of work. Perhaps "stone, guiding travelers as they navigate unfamiliar terrain"?

[regal cedar]

Dexdoku: Future is Now
Gen 5+ and Psychic

Klang/Mew (398.151)

Research shows that its perpetually shifting DNA has a correlation with the position of the gear upon its back. For example, a DNA sample will closely resemble some Fire-types' when it is drawn while the gear tooth above POKENAME's head is red.

[regal cedar]

His entries are seperate from the Dexdoku, he mentioned what was on his team, i thought

oh oops

i missed the last thing in the message

[jagged ledge]

Looks good, but I will admit my own silliness and admit I was about to question how it buries itself in sand when it lives underwater... yes, I genuinely forgot there was sand underwater for a second there

I wrote for Krabby recently, where they actually do mean beach sand, that's my excuse

[jagged ledge]

It's ok lol

[jagged ledge]

I like it overall, I do think it's a fun evolution of the concept, but something isn't quite reading right to me.

I think you might repeat the word DNA a bit much? It feels kinda segmented?

[regal cedar]

I don't entirely disagree. I wonder how I could rephrase it, hmm.

[jagged ledge]

"Research has shown that the constantly changing DNA of POKENAME may have some correlation with the colors on its gear. (Some slightly tweaked version of your third sentence here)" perhaps?

[regal cedar]

Hmm...something along those lines sounds good, yes!

[lusty sinew]

sorry i forgot about what dexdoku was for a secodn there

i chanegd it tho

[regal cedar]

all good!

[jagged ledge]

It's alright!

[regal cedar]

Research shows that POKENAME's perpetually shifting DNA appears to have a correlation with whichever color gear tooth is above its head. For instance, a DNA sample taken out when the above tooth is red closely resembles some Fire-types.

Hmm. This...feels worse and long winded to me, somehow.

[jagged ledge]

I think specifying the gear teeth in the first sentence is unnecessary, as that's something that can be communicated with the visuals of the sprite and the specificity of the second sentence

[regal cedar]

Hmm, maybe, but just saying 'gear' is vague.

Perhaps 'position of the gear' would work better?

[jagged ledge]

Sure.

Just a heads up, I'm heading out for a while because I'm at a family Passover Seder

[regal cedar]

Oh, hope you enjoy yourself!

While typically slow-moving, POKENAME can make sudden and swift movements in battle. As its amorphous body is composed of extremely hot material, even getting hit with small flung droplets can cause severe burns.

I HAVE DECIDED THIS IS NOT DEXDOKU

Dexdoku: Future is Now
Fire and First four paired fossils

Cyndaquil/Omanyte (155.138)

It is shy and unable to completely control its fiery powers, so giving physical affection to POKENAME is generally not advised. Several Pokémon Breeders have suggested that playing games with it is a much better way to build up its trust.

[small nest]

Each gleaming scale holds a single memory. With no other way to recall its life, POKENAME carefully curates its collection. For each new experience it wants to remember, POKENAME must choose an old one to forget forever.

[regal cedar]

Hmm, so it can replace its scales for different memories?

That's sad.

[small nest]

Yeah, it can replace the memory in a scale with a different memory, but the old one is forgotten.

[regal cedar]

Yup. Interesting, unique.

Dexdoku: Future is Now
Electric and First four paired fossils

Rotom/Lileep (358.301)

As it cannot consume physical matter, POKENAME relies on its powers to drain energy in order to survive. It can siphon energy from electronic devices, other Pokémon, and even sunlight. When fully charged, it emits a glowing green light.

[regal cedar]

Dexdoku: Future is Now
Gen 5+ and First four paired fossils

Cofagrigus/Armaldo (362.304)

Although there is no scientific evidence to support it, there are numerous researchers that believe the mask on POKENAME's stomach resembles the faces of humanity's earliest ancestors. Those who touch a POKENAME see flashes of an ancient landscape.

[regal cedar]

Dexdoku: Future is now
Electric and Klink line

Klinklang/Luxray (337.332)

POKENAME are unusually friendly for a Luxray fusion. When two pack-leading POKENAME meet, they temporarily connect the gear-shaped mane atop their heads together and smile. The two packs become one afterwards, with both POKENAME serving as leaders.

[hexed fog]

around 100 unapproved entries remain

[ivory pewter]

As it flies, it releases a dazzling shower of sparks from the arc on its back. Receiving its blessing will ensure peaceful dreams through even the harshest thunderstorms.

Dexdoku (Psychic/Electric)

[jagged ledge]

Cute and I don't see any errors, I just will have to inform someone on the Dexdoku thread they might need to change sprites lol

[regal cedar]

oh no is there a thread ive missed

[jagged ledge]

#1210021946105004052

[ivory pewter]

One of the sprites I've made can be used for this dexdoku

[jagged ledge]

I mean you can both use the same sprite, I will just be paying close attention to make sure we avoid overlap or plagiarism.

[timid sky]

Which?

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME uses the eyes on the back of its head to observe its surroundings. These eyes will glow as it injects venom into its prey.

Dexdoku (Fossil/Gen 5)

This one

[regal cedar]

i was tempted to use this, something like how gentle rain lulls people to sleep. then i realized thunderstorm raikou may not be the best choice for that

but how you did it really worked! sleep through in spite of that

[ivory pewter]

I felt like if I was gonna use a legend I had to combine it w/ another legend, & I just really loved the sprite for it

[timid sky]

So I am in need for a fire and psychic type fusion for dexdoku. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[regal cedar]

I say something with Abra and relating to sleep. I feel like that often gets overlooked in its dex entries for some reason

[jagged ledge]

Makes sense to me!

Also sorry I'm multitasking a bit and I'm on the car ride home. I'm trying my best to sort through everything ASAP.

Also Bacon, just a reminder you have the chance to request that I write a dex entry of your choice.

[jagged ledge]

Is there a Psychic and/or Fire Type in the game you particularly like? You could go to their "List of Fusions" page and control F the opposite type.

[timid sky]

I have found one now

[jagged ledge]

Nice

[timid sky]

@jagged ledge Dexdoku Fire/Psychic

When POKENAME gazes into the flame at the end of its wand, its brain cells and IQ multiply. If POKENAME concentrates long enough, it will become smart enough to determine the course of the future.

[regal cedar]

should be "brain cells"

[jagged ledge]

Maybe replace "stares at" with "focuses on" then the second "stares" with "concentrates"?

[timid sky]

Actually, Delphox's official entry uses "gazes into", so I think I'll use that instead of "stares at"

[jagged ledge]

Sounds good!

[weak osprey]

Hey <@&1210701164426039366> , I just made an entry for 6.34.png. I actually meant for it to be for 6.34e.png. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[dense meteor]

https://www.fusiondex.org/434.286/

As a being made of trash, POKENAME emits a horrible stench; As a psychic, it is keenly aware of what others are thinking. The result is a meek, shameful Pokemon, quick to form an attachment to anyone who can tolerate its presence.

I feel like the wording could flow better but I'm not quite sure how

[regal cedar]

Fixed!
Sorry, joo

[dense meteor]

https://www.fusiondex.org/140.389/
POKENAME can be found living in caves along the ocean shoreline. To hunt, it dips its tail into the water, waits for a fish to arrive, and zaps.

[jagged ledge]

I like the idea, it just reads more as the back of a book than a pokedex if that makes sense? We could probably smooth out the introduction to something like "POKENAME's psychic powers allow it to sense the distate for the smell of their trash." Or something.

[jagged ledge]

Just a heads up, you should probably shift the second sentence to be plural since your first sentence describes the species habitat/living habits as a whole.

Otherwise the actual content looks good.

[dense meteor]

🫡

[jagged ledge]

👍

[lusty sinew]

what does the dexdoku winner get

i'm not competing but i would still like to know because i'm new to teh discord

[jagged ledge]

I write a Pokedex Entry for a sprite of your choice and make a grid for you if you haven't completed one already.

[lusty sinew]

ok

POKENAME trains by rhythmically punching the surface of ponds, creating ripples that echo across the water. Its gentle demeanor masks a precise and powerful fighting style.
how is this?

[dense meteor]

https://www.fusiondex.org/129.74/

POKENAME clumsily drags itself around a muddy lake bottom, searching for shellfish to eat. With weak muscles and poor fine motor skills, it has been known to spend hours struggling to open a single clam.

https://www.fusiondex.org/130.74/

POKENAME lives a life of near constant destruction. It can be found indiscriminately ramming itself into piles of river rocks in search of food.

https://www.fusiondex.org/130.75/

POKENAME is capable of completely emptying ponds of prey. When it does, it spends days waddling across land in search of a new home.

https://www.fusiondex.org/130.76/
POKENAME know nothing but aggression; Life around a lake fundamentally changes if one wanders in. Local governments have been known to resort to explosives in attempts to rid themselves of a POKENAME.

[clear hollow]

I wanted to ask something about entries for collab sprites

I wrote an entry to a sprite I made as a collab with another spriter, and I see the mark "prior entry exists" on it in the sheet. will my entry still count as the spriter's entry with the in-game priority that comes with it or not?

[regal cedar]

Which entry is this?

[lusty sinew]

POKENAME rules its waters with cold precision, its jeweled form gliding past like a jeweled serpent. Other Pokémon part before it, knowing it does not tolerate disobedience.
how is it? i don't find it very good but i don't know whats missing or what is wrong
(and could i get feedback on the one that i anwsered as well as this one)

[regal cedar]

Very flowerful in language, maybe a bit too much? Describes appearance and personality, which is good. I will say 'disobedience' and fleeing from it don't necessarily conmect but I get the idea presented fine.

[lusty sinew]

did you also anwser this one with to much language?

btw i'm pretty sure that flowerful means this

i found that here

[hollow nimbus]

Bobosmith probably meant 'flowery' and mistyped

Flowery means full of elaborate words and phrases as well as sometimes meaning having the quality of blossoms

[hollow nimbus]

The phrase gliding past like a living crown strikes me as odd, as crowns are not known for gliding. It may make your intentions clearer to just say that it appears like a living crown or that it glides with the grace of a monarch.

You can also remove as if from as if knowing to make your writing more confident. I think it's reasonable to say that the wild Pokémon can recognize a potential threat.

[lusty sinew]

oh i was thinking of giovanni's eprsian ill change that

altough it also doesn't wear a crown

[hollow nimbus]

I can see how this fusion would resemble a crown if it were curled up, what with its golden color and jewels

But that's fine, if you meant that for another fusion, do what you need to

[regal cedar]

yes lol

[lusty sinew]

i chanegd it to like a dragon

[regal cedar]

sea serpent may fit

jeweled serpent? dragon has the rich connotations tho

[lusty sinew]

I'm doing all kingdra (its entire line they're my favorite) fusions rn but when I'm done with doing all them I will probably make custom entries for the ones I like

like

[opaque scaffold]

Since fusion was introduced, many trainers still argue that this Pokémon isn’t a true fusion at all—just a cluster of Klinklangs mashed together.

(idk i have nothing else to do so i do random fusions i see in my randomizer run)

Sprite by hydrodex btw

[timid sky]

Submit it for dexdoku Klinklang/Gen 5+

[opaque scaffold]

done

[regal cedar]

Which entry was this?

[lapis cosmos]

I know entries get flagged when there's an apostrophe ("POKENAME's" most frequently). Should we avoid that?

[lapis cosmos]

I particularly like Magidude (was trying to come up with an entry for it but yours is perfect) and Gyaraler (I love the image of it waddling angrily across the land).

Mareanie Tentacruel 454.73.png
POKENAME can be found crawling across coral reefs with its tentacles and feasting on the coral. A population of even only five can decimate an entire reef in under a week, so they are vigorously controlled by conservationists.

[small nest]

No, that's perfectly fine. Just make sure you've written the rest of the entry in the singular tense as well:
"Flames stream from POKENAME's mouth. It charbroils all of its food before eating it." ✅
"Flames stream from POKENAME's mouth. They charbroil all of their food before eating it." 🇽

[lapis cosmos]

Batch of four entries looking for feedback before I submit them later, please and thanks!

Seaking Tentacruel 119.73.png
The bell of POKENAME resembles an injured Seaking, which it mimics to lure in predators of Seaking. When they get close, POKENAME wraps them in its tentacles and jabs them with its venomous beak so it can feed leisurely.

Seel Toxapex 86.455.png
POKENAME regulates a warm temperature under its flippers. Arctic explorers have been surprised when a snow pile has risen, revealed to be the flippers of a friendly POKENAME.

Seel Tentacool 86.72.png
POKENAME mimics the head of a Seel to keep that evolutionary line from predating it. The tongue-like organ is actually an exposed stomach which it uses to easily and efficiently feed on plankton.

Seel Tentacruel 86.73.png
POKENAME’s large eyes allow it to hunt even in the darkest arctic waters. It uses its horn to carve a hole in an iceberg so it can sleep, blocking the entrance with its camouflaged bell.

[dense meteor]

love the second one portable igloo

[marsh jungle]

Hi! I'm new here, how do I submmit a custom pokedex entry for one of the fusions?

[lapis cosmos]

Go over to the channel "Dex Entries Submissions" and it links to a Google Form. Be sure to check out the pinned messages here and the FAQs in the Google Sheets (also linked in the other channel) for some tips and common errors.

[marsh jungle]

ok, Thank you!

[lapis cosmos]

Happy to help. And you can always post the dex entry here first to receive feedback! People are very helpful!

[marsh jungle]

Noted! most likely do that later once I iron out some stuff

[clear hollow]

For Noctowl/Venusaur, I don't remember the exact file number, one sec

dex noctowl/venusaur

[warped panther]

Noctowl/Venusaur's IF Pokédex number is 1667! Its sprite would be named 164.3.png!

[clear hollow]

That, with no letters

The credits say michik & .zortie

[ebon warren]

I think this is borderline breaking the rule about fusions occurring naturally, as this seems to imply that fusions spontaneously got made. They occur naturally in PIF lore and humans just perfected a way to accomplish it reliably and affordably.

Perhaps reword it to "were discovered" so it is more appropriate?

[lusty sinew]

Despite its odd shape, POKENAME charges through coral tunnels with unexpected speed. It uses its tough head to clear debris and make safe paths for schools of smaller Water-types.
how is this for luvdisc body/donphan head
i couldn't think of much for it other than its elephant horns and the black line that looks like it could be though the idea of it having high speed comes from the little body that it has and the idea of ramming into stuff as an elephant

[lusty sinew]

this is the last one that i'll be doing for a while until i compelte this, this is one that was in my team he was pretty good hes the reason i got through the champion

[rugged socket]

How's this for Yanma/Piplup:

Unable to walk, but a masterful flyer and swimmer. It spends most of its time in the shallows, hunting small insects and crustaceans. It is impossible to be preyed upon here, darting from water to sky in a flash when danger approaches.

[regal cedar]

Yup, fixed it for you. Seems I made a mistake

[jagged ledge]

I would actually recommend replacing your first period with a comma. The current second sentence reads as a little odd, perhaps condensing it to say "It avoids predators by darting in and out of the water whenever danger approaches." Could help?

[opaque scaffold]

yeah ur kinda right

[rugged socket]

Roselia/Hitmonchan

If they are ever bested in a fight, their honour demands them to gift the victor a petal from their left hand. This is how POKENAME age and are only considered an elder when their hand is visible through the petals.

[regal cedar]

Oh wow! I love how unique this.

[timid sky]

Just curious: why does it have to be from the left hand specifically?

[rugged socket]

So it can still deliver a knock-out with its right hand!

I could change it to non-dominant?

[timid sky]

I think non-dominant would be better

Overall I really like this entry though

[rugged socket]

Thank you!:)

Fletchinder/Pidgey

It makes a coughing-like sound that produces a small burst of flames, it can then use its wings to aim them with pinpoint accuracy at targets up to 50m away. This has led to the saying “fly away POKENAME” when wishing sick people good health.

[opaque scaffold]

This Pokémon is fat, lazy, and often appears completely indifferent to its surroundings. However, when it decides to act, it becomes a devastating force of pure and raw strength.

Slaking/Gallade

[opaque scaffold]

very unique and creative, i love it 🙂

*:).

POKENAME grew tired of its ragged disguise. In a fit of rage, it declared that anyone who disapproves of its appearance must suffer a slow, agonizing poisoning. Now draped in a cloak made of living toxic sludge, its twisted idea has become reality

(mimikyu/muk)

[crimson hill]

my take on it is
gallking lives in your gallbladder, commanding all the gallstones and getting them in formation. if his domain as the king of the gall fails, the gallstones get too big and create painful blockages

[opaque scaffold]

Slaking/Gallade btw

[opaque scaffold]

uh aight

[mental frigate]

ayyyyyyy i'm a fan of that movie too
wazzap

[boreal prairie]

oh, hello, random lol

been i minute since i've been here

how are people doing. still dexxing it up?

[mental frigate]

seems like it

[boreal prairie]

Are people following the way of concision without my guidance?

[jagged ledge]

Most of them

[rugged socket]

Vulpix/Zorua

Incredibly skittish, usually only the tails, which are identical to that of a Vulpix, are briefly seen before disappearing into the undergrowth. This has led to much speculation on the population number.

[ebon warren]

First sentence lacks a subject and is therefore not grammatically correct. Also, even with a subject, the placement of the dependent clauses and the necessary commas for them makes the whole sentence incredibly confusing.
The entry itself never actually reference the fusion in any way, either with the placeholder POKENAME, or with some variation of this Pokémon or this creature.
The use of the demonstrative This in the second sentence is unclear, as it has a broken antecedent, and doesn't adequate imply to what it is referring. This is partly because the entry should be about the fusion itself and therefore any references to some other subject need elaborating (This unique behavior as an acceptable replacement example here). The confusion is also partly because it is referring back to the prior sentence that is convoluted and lacking a subject itself.

You can split the first sentence into two sentences and break the multiple clauses up that way, but you still need to clearly define the subject in each sentence in order for the intent to be clear and easily discernible for the reader

[rugged socket]

POKENAME are incredibly skittish. Only their tails, which are identical to that of a Vulpix, are seen briefly before disappearing into the undergrowth. This has led to much speculation about their population number.

You never know how little you know about English until someone that does comes along (it's my first language I have no excuse haha), thanks for the help though!

[timid sky]

Of course you have an excuse: English is a stupid language

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME's heat has entirely fused its shell to the rest of its body. Because it cannot remove its shell, it has great difficulty moving once it grows too large.

Dexdoku (Fossil/fire)

Still have gen5/psychic & fossil/elec 🤔

[zinc scroll]

Borned from the essence and light of the moon, POKENAME goes around to gather bad dreams and negative energy to build a cocoon for itself.

After successfully building itself a cocoon, POKENAME will stay stasis until it emerges from its cocoon. Residents near the area where POKENAME is located will be warded against bad dreams.

Once every full moon, swarms of Metaelia gathers and harness negative energy to bursts out of their cocoon and become the majestic POKENAME. Tales of old stated that whoever got touched by its dust will never experience a bad dream until the next full moon.

[rugged socket]

They're really cool, love how they're all related!
Just a couple things,

1. Born from the essence and light of the moon, POKENAME goes around to gather bad dreams and negative energy to build a cocoon for itself.
2. After successfully building itself a cocoon, POKENAME will stay in stasis until it is ready to emerge. Residents near the area where POKENAME is located will be warded against bad dreams.
3. Once every full moon, swarms of Metaelia gather and harness negative energy to burst out of their cocoon and become the majestic POKENAME. Tales of old stated that whoever got touched by their dust will never experience a bad dream until the next full moon.

There might be other things but that's what I could see

[zinc scroll]

So does this mean my submissions got rejected?

[rugged socket]

No idea how it works sorry, I'm pretty new here!

I think you're supposed to put them on this channel first so people can look through them before you submit though

[clear hollow]

Usually Unowns would fix the grammar for you if the entries you submitted have minor mistakes and aren't a complete mess that they'd have to rewrite completely to make it work, but yeah, this channel's purpose is for you to get the feedback on your entries before you submit them

[feral scarab]

I have one for this one, this is my first time doing a dex entry so tell me if there's any issues.

POKENAME uses its power to invade dreams to change the hearts of villainous people and Pokémon alike. It seeks out noble trainers to further combat injustices.

Since this Zoroark/Gallade fusion is 100% a Persona 5 reference.

[zinc scroll]

Oh i see

[regal cedar]

Interesting. I did a check, and the Head I've done the most entries for is Heracross, with 8. If I counted alt dupes, it'd be Gengar, but unique entries are only a 6 there for second place.

Checking the bodies would be way too hard since you can't exactly sort them alphabetically.

[jagged ledge]

Nope! As long as your concepts don't break any rules and you're willing to cooperate and edit/allow us to edit your entries, we tend to be pretty forgiving with mistakes as long as we fix them.

[jagged ledge]

Thank you for your help!

I do have a few extra notes, but I'll wait for Tenkuji.

[zinc scroll]

Oh i see, thank you

I did fix something tho

The "tales of old" part, its too long so i had to reduce it to "some"

[jagged ledge]

The first part is good, but we try to avoid referencing things too directly, so using the term "gentleman thief" might be a bit much.

[jagged ledge]

Wait so what does it look like now? "Some stated that whoever"?

[zinc scroll]

Yeah..

Issit bad?

[feral scarab]

Got it. So the last line can be shifted to "It seeks out noble trainers to further combat injustices." As a replacement line

[jagged ledge]

Perfect. 👍

[jagged ledge]

Well my question is "Who are the some?" Like who is stating this?

[feral scarab]

Honestly writing these are really fun tbh. I'll be plugging in the Zoro/Gallade fusion rn and work on some others.

[jagged ledge]

Glad to hear it!

[zinc scroll]

The ones that experienced it, experienced it so many times that they believed it is true

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME's brightly colored shell allows it to easily blend in with coral reefs. It releases electrical shocks when unwary prey gets too close.

Dexdoku (Fossil/Electric)

[lusty sinew]

get instead of gets

im pretty sure

[ivory pewter]

Can work either way I'm p sure

Can be read as either singular or multiple

[lusty sinew]

I see how it could work now.

pls choose one of these to make a custom of (i'm making the custom if you want to know what one of them looks like i can show)

[jagged ledge]

Well 1, the proper grammar would be "Some state". And 2, that reads as more of a Campfire story than a Pokedex Entry.

[zinc scroll]

Hmm, i see, i accidentally submitted it already so, does this it is rejected?

Does this mean*

[jagged ledge]

No, I can edit it on the spreadsheet. It'll only be outright rejected if it breaks a rule.

[jagged ledge]

So as previously mentioned, "Born", not "Borned." When you say "Essence of the moon", what do you picture? Technically the light part would be ok if you start the entry with "Said to be" or "Legends claim" or something like that.

Also a question about the line as a whole. When they gather bad dreams, do they absorb/remove them from people? Or do they just get energy from the bad dreams?

[zinc scroll]

Absorb/remove them from people, and tbf, it does sounds better with your suggestions, i kinda sucks in literature so yeah

[jagged ledge]

Looks good, no notes

[feral scarab]

POKENAME showcases skill with psionics and ninjutsu. Studies show POKENAME using its psychic powers to boost the cutting strength of their shuriken.

[jagged ledge]

How's this?

"Said to be born from the light of the moon, POKENAME drifts through the night to remove bad dreams from people. It fashions nightmares into a cocoon for itself to help build power over time."

[lusty sinew]

i'm playing on such a small screen just wanted to post it here instead of problems because i can easilly solve it

[zinc scroll]

Omg that sounds so good, why are you so talented at this, im over here squeezing my brain out

[lusty sinew]

can i pls get a suggestion its impossible for me to choose

[jagged ledge]

Practice. I've been writing for years. Everyone starts somewhere.

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME's beauty is most prominent during a solar eclipse. A shimmering trail of embers follows it as it flies.

[feral scarab]

It just takes time and practice for most. Writing short stories or poems really helps get an idea for word structure.

[jagged ledge]

Scizor/Kingdra?

[jagged ledge]

When you say "showcases", do you mean as a performance? Or just simply that it has both psionics and ninjutsu? How do they boost the cutting strength? Also instead of saying "Studies show it using", I would recommend saying "Studies show it can". Because otherwise, you can say the studies are just a picture being displayed, not describing what was determined through research.

Sailors discovered long ago that POKENAME can sense where they were born, due to being very sensitive to magnetic force. Because of this, most docks will have a POKENAME nursery nearby.

[jagged ledge]

Looks good, no notes.

[jagged ledge]

I might recommend swapping the order of the first sentence. "Highly sensitive to magnetic forces, POKENAME can detect their homes from miles away. Sailors have raised POKENAME on docks for generations, allowing them to act as compasses on their voyages."

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME appears to be a result of alien technology. It can change its form to fulfill any task requested of it.

Unsure if the first sentence works

[jagged ledge]

It's very simple and blunt, yeah. I understand the alien part is in reference to Deoxys, but you could say this about most Golurk fusions.

[ivory pewter]

My concern was more abt whether it's compatible with the rules abt fusion origins

[jagged ledge]

Eh, "appears to be" is more of a hypothetical or speculation than a hard claim, it's like the "It is said" loophole.

[ivory pewter]

But yeah I get that it's a little short. Can try adding a bit of flair

[jagged ledge]

Maybe something about despite appearing mechanical it has highly complex DNA?

[feral scarab]

I do see my word choice conflicts with some events within the Pokémon world. I forgot Showcases were a thing for a hot minute. As for cutting strength, I will elaborate on it since I realized it was a smaller dex entry.

[hexed fox]

You could say it's 'believed' to be the result of human engineering and alien technology? So fill it out a bit and tie back to Golurk being man made

[jagged ledge]

Sounds good. 👍

[gentle frost]

Maybe something like this as the first sentence?

Being able to stretch and shift its metallic body at will, many scientists believe POKENAME may be a result of alien technology.

Honestly, love the idea of unknown materials being used to make robots, major castle in the sky energy

[ivory pewter]

POKENAME launches itself through the sky, landing at its destination with the impact of a meteorite.

The unique material making up POKENAME's body appears to be alien in origin.

Sample alternatives. Any preference for either of these?

[jagged ledge]

Ok a couple things here. The end of the second sentence runs into the same problem as the Solosis/Klink where it gets a little list-y. Also the act of "siphoning" energy implies that it removes energy from its target, so does it actively remove energy from the sun? Finally, the word "particularly" is a little confusing. Particular means specific or exact. Let's say it's a battery, does it only glow when it's at 56%? "Fully charged" would be shorter and show the "gaining energy" idea more directly, but I'm open to other alternatives as well.

[rugged socket]

Beldum/Quagsire
POKENAME perpetually swim in circles, creating a small whirlpool that drag in POKENAME’s prey. All POKENAME has to do is keep its wide mouth open and prey will swim into it as they try to escape the whirlpool.

[jagged ledge]

Honestly if you expand on the second option just a tiny bit more, I could see the two combined being a great entry together.

[lusty sinew]

POKENAME glides with quiet precision, its wings slicing through water like blades. Its shell pulses faintly in the dark, luring curious prey before vanishing into the silence like it was never there.
how is this?

[jagged ledge]

I'm curious where the glowing shell comes from. And no description of the water claws? You don't have to, it just seems like a specific trait. Is it gliding or swimming? How do you vanish into silence?

[ivory pewter]

The unique material making up its body appears to be alien in origin. This strange composition allows POKENAME to shift its form to fulfill any tasks requested of it.

Dexdoku (Psychic/Gen 5+)

[jagged ledge]

Yeah, that works!

[lusty sinew]

i'll change that

[ivory pewter]

Sick

Think that's dexdoku done for me then. Will get a grid together soon

[jagged ledge]

You shift from the plural in the first sentence to the singular in the second. Also the second does need a bit of work... also I'm realizing as I'm reading this. If they perpetually (meaning constantly) swim in circles to make the whirlpool, the whirlpool would pull the prey down away from them.

[jagged ledge]

Sounds good!

[narrow cosmos]

Bleh, I need to try and set some time aside to really focus on some undone entries and whatnot, I've been so out of practice I've barely done a handful of entries in the past month or so.

[rugged socket]

The idea is the prey are just swimming along then get sucked in towards the middle, so they expend lots of effort trying to escape - only to land straight in the mouth of the belsire, I'll try and make it more clear

[jagged ledge]

Unless this is a singular entity, I would say "Those who touch a POKENAME", but I think it looks alright otherwise?

[jagged ledge]

But you describe the Belsire as always swimming in circles. Whirlpools pull to the center. Unless the tired prey actively makes it out of the whirlpool in the same direction that the Belsire happens to be, how would opening its mouth be enough to catch them?

[rugged socket]

Beldum/Quagsire
POKENAME perpetually swim in circles, creating a small whirlpool that drag in POKENAME’s prey. The prey exert all their energy escaping the whirlpool, only to end up in the wide open mouth of a POKENAME.

Kept it a bit more vague, does that work?

[jagged ledge]

Yeah, that works better.

👍

Also I'm glad the chat is so active today, but I do have to get going for now. I'll try to check in again soon. Seeya guys! Keep up the great work!

[regal cedar]

Fully charged is a good way to simplify it, but I suppose in my mind it was like...when it has a LOT of charge, where 'fully' is fairly specific, but I think that's splitting hairs and 'fully' is better.

I don't necesarilly mind the list-y nature of the second sentence, but you're right that 'siphon' doesn't quite match up here with the sun. Perhaps "the sun's rays" or "sunbeams" or even just "sunlight"?

Basically, it can absorb electric energy, life force, and also photosynthesize. (Trying to include how both Rotom and Lileep can get energy while also making it unique, and also highlighting the Grass-type.)

I think the last part about the sun needs to change, but I'm not sure to what. When talking about plants, the simplication is generally reduced to "plants get energy from the sun".

I want to make sure the sentence doesn't ramble further, so just "gather", I think, would limit the meaning of getting energy from other Pokémon.

Perhaps funnel or channel? I don't think that quite gets the parasitic/absorption nature across. Maybe just changing it to 'sunlight' is for the best.

(Would love other's opinions, too!)

[lusty sinew]

POKENAME skims just beneath the surface, using its bladed fins to steer with uncanny grace. Its claws, formed of condensed water, strike with chilling force before dissolving into mist, leaving nothing but ripples behind.

[timid sky]

@jagged ledge Dexdoku Electric/Psychic:

POKENAME's body contains a down that allows it to turn its body invisible, with the exception of the rain clouds on its back. Since POKENAME's cries sound like thunder, it's very difficult to tell it apart from a thundercloud when it turns invisible.

[jagged ledge]

Hey wait a second

I need to double-check if you can do that

[timid sky]

Yeah, figured I'd kill 2 Pidgeys with one rockslide

[true island]

Espeon/ralts

*“ Espits has a very strong psychic ability too much for its small body, Espits often over stimulates itself when it uses to much of its power Often it can be found resting on a big hill taking in the sunlight. ”

[small nest]

Remember to use POKENAME instead of the fusion's name, and perpetually practice proper punctuation!
POKENAME has a very strong psychic ability - too much for its small body. POKENAME often overstimulates itself when it uses too much of its power. Often, it can be found resting on a big hill, taking in the sunlight.

I would also try to make it a bit more concise:
POKENAME's small body belies its prodigious psychic ability, often leaving it overstimulated when it uses too much power. To recover, it rests on hilltops and basks in sunlight.

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Bulbasaur
The bulb on the back of a POKENAME secretes a slimy, toxic film that covers it and protects the POKENAME's skin from sunlight. Though the film is poisonous in its liquid form, it can be mixed with sugar and boiled to make a sticky, sour candy.

[regal cedar]

"The bulb on the back of a POKENAME secretes a slimy, toxic film that covers it and protects its skin from the sunlight."

Because the last subject focus was the bulb, I thiiiink the second it needs to be changed, so make the second it POKENAME or rephrase it slightly. Unless I'm forgetting some grammar rule, in which case, someone hit me.

A comma should go after 'form'.

Nice job overall!

[true island]

'POKENAME has gained a better control of its power - it's psychic ability allows it to detect its TRAINERS feelings, if upset it will attempt to make them feel better'

Better compared to when? Also first it's should be its

Probably expand on the first clause a bit, then full in a full stop instead of a dash, cool entry though:)

[true island]

Basically it's trying to make them not feel bad my keyboard keeps putting its as it's lol

[rugged socket]

Yeah I think I understand what you're trying to say, that it has better control over its power compared to its pre-evolution form, but I think you need to say that explicitly

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Ivysaur
POKENAME spend their days on riverbanks soaking up sunlight. At night they graze and protect sleeping Marill and Wooper, researchers do not know what benefit POKENAME gain from this.

[charred dust]

Yippie!

[narrow cosmos]

Forced myself to sit down and get back into the groove, made 20 entries submitted last night in about an hour, looks like I can still do it. So long as they get approved in the future anyway, heh

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Venusaur
Whilst technically amphibious, POKENAME are almost never seen out of the water, preferring to use their gills to breathe. The plant on their back remains above the water, with some Bug Pokémon laying their eggs on it.

[lapis cosmos]

Golisopod Tyrantrum (Golitrum) 475.426.png
Since ancient times, POKENAME has been an apex predator and combatant thanks to its thick armor plates and flame-resistant gel mane. It prefers to quietly spend time with its young but fiercely battles anything it deems a threat.

[lapis cosmos]

Like the combined physiology for this entry! And the ecology implications.

[zealous veldt]

Voltorb/Alakazam
Any Pokeball that is directed towards it will be caught by its psychic field, and added to its growing collection. However, if a ball it already owns is thrown at it, it will be repelled right back at the trainer, with enough force to cause harm.

[regal cedar]

Hmm.
I am a bit worried about how it can supposedly stop Poké Balls when, naturally, that wouldn't happen in-game.

Electrode and Alakazam even have a place in-game together where they could be fused. Not Voltorb, I know, but still.

If referring to a Pokémon Trainer, "trainer" should generally be capitalized as "Trainer".

[lapis cosmos]

It also contradicts the sprite (not sure how important that is) as it has two Poke and Great balls. I like the collecting idea.

[calm storm]

i'd say it'd collect Pokéballs that failed against it

[zealous veldt]

A lot of the canon Pokédex entries lie as well. Magcargo is apparently twice the heat of the sun

[calm storm]

yeah, the thing is that those things can't be entirely disproven

maybe Pokemon's humans are just really heat resistant

but the thing is, this entry just says something that is able to be straight up DONE by the player

which doesn't do the thing the entry says

[small nest]

Plus, we'd probably reject the canon Magcargo entry if it was submitted we have stricter standards than canon entries.

(Glares at Machamp, which can apparently throw a hundred punches a second, each of which can destroy a mountain)

Oh yeah, and it hurls its opponents over the horizon. Forget fainting, you won't even be able to find your Pokemon's body to bury it.

[regal cedar]

Hey @weak osprey , I'm noticing a lot of your entries are using the incorrect form of
its
and it's

Remember that
it's is the contraction, like it is,
while its is the possessive, like "its fur is on fire"

[weak osprey]

Oh yeah I know the difference I just need to proofread better 😅
And that missed an accent mark on Pokemon in one of them.
Sorry abt that!

[weak osprey]

Wait I'm looking at my entries (ik you guys fix them on the google sheet, but I'm looking at my own document) and I don't see any errors like that. Here are all of the cases of its and it's from entries I've made since February (4.33.png - 285.53.png):

its

• its enclosure
• its temperament
• its territory
• its docile nature
• its eggs
• its colony
• its young
• its combined precognition
• its paralytic breath
• its teammates
• its targets
• its thick red fog
• its jeers

it's

Are you looking at my entries from January, or am I missing smth? I'm not tryna push back or anything, I just wanna correct my copy of the entries too.

[regal cedar]

Hmm.
No, you're fine. Maybe I was looking at old entries? I could have sworn I wrote down several instances. My apologies.

It's a sign I need to stop doing entry stuff after doing it for 3 hours straight

[weak osprey]

Hahaha all good I was just like cuz I try to be on top of that stuff but ik my fingers have a mind of their own (I just typo'd "breadcrumps" a second ago haha).
If you find any past or future entries of mine with errors like that please don't hesistate tho 🙏

[lapis cosmos]

What are thoughts on using more specific, but less commonly used animal grouping names (skulk of foxes, mob of kangaroos, etc) for referring to fusions that resemble or include one of these animals?

[alpine gorge]

is fusion dex or infinite dex more reliable?

fusion seems to be outdated, with a bunch of fusions missing compared to infinite

[small nest]

Fusiondex is best for looking through fusions, but infinite dex updates faster and is better for looking at stats, moves, etc. Neither of them currently show custom dex entries, though.

[alpine gorge]

noted, thank you!

[lapis cosmos]

Oh geez. I just noticed a misinput for dex entries. 22351-22353 are** 421.75** (and the a and b variants) for the Sableye/Graveler fusions. Multitasking!

22347-22350 are for Sableye/Geodude and are correctly labeled.

[small nest]

I just saw that and was confused! Relabeled for you.

[small nest]

We've definitely had discussions on this before, but I can't remember how they turned out We do have FAQ 6 that encourages simplified terms, but I don't think animal-group-terms really fall under that.

[lapis cosmos]

Thanks! I had Graveler misnumbered in my master planning doc...

[lapis cosmos]

I figured simplified was better, so I used "school" instead of "shiver" for a Sharpedo-fusion. Appreciate it!

[lapis cosmos]

Okay, this sprite has been one that has been challenging me for a little bit but I've really wanted to write it (and the line) because it is such a delightful horrorshow, so I'd love feedback on this draft of an entry:
Muk Zubat (Mubat) 89.41.png
The need for Zubat to spread has corrupted the DNA of POKENAME, so it struggles to maintain a consistent form. Occasionally an arm or body forms, but only long enough to ensnare food for the waiting mouths.

[regal cedar]

What is "the need for Zubat to spread"?

[lapis cosmos]

The fact that they are very common encounters makes me feel like implying they have a strong urge to breed/multiply. Which maybe multiply is a better word.

And my way of explaining the multiple mouths and general horror.

[timid sky]

The fact that Zubat are common is more so a meme then it is actually lore about Zubat, unless I’m forgetting something

[ebon warren]

It is a meme, the encounter tables actually don't support Zubat being ubiquitous, it's a great example of the Mandela effect

[ebon warren]

Phrasing in that way implies something other than a Pokémon simply being "everywhere" in the wild, but Zubat being overly abundant also isn't canon in the lore, so that will have to be reworded.
I would recommend approaching the multiple mouths from an entirely different angle because I don't think there's a successful way to imply this, since it's purely a meme and entirely speculative (since Zubat aren't actually mathematically that common).

[lapis cosmos]

Cheers all! Appreciate the feedback (and new Zubat encounter info)!

[regal cedar]

~~I mean, it's not ENTIRELY unfounded in Kanto specifically. 75% encounter rate in Mt. Moon and 50% in Rock Tunnel.

....69% in gen 3 lol.~~

But encounter rate can also mean just Pokémon more willing to attack/show themselves too.

Since those (at least used to be) the canon reason they would appear

[raw sinew]

Why not go along the idea of The Thing? Like that old horror movie. That’s what the sprite reminded me of

[lapis cosmos]

I'd probably go in that direction if it looked that way as Muk/Clefairy or some other space associated Pokémon, even though it really does have that vibe.

[raw sinew]

Muk/mewtwo? idk if that’s been done already

[lapis cosmos]

No entry yet. Here's the sprite and enjoy!

#dex-entries-discussion message

#dex-entries-discussion message

Looking for feedback on these two!

[lapis cosmos]

Klinklang/Ninetails: Cool combination. Should it be onlookers who cause it to stop spinning? Iirc, Ninetails curses vengefully not amiently.
Grammar side: In the final line, I'd cut "only" as I don't feel it enhances the mystery. (and the "actually" isn't needed IF you need to cut for word/character count)

[regal cedar]

Nah, I did onlookers purposefully.
Noted!

[lapis cosmos]

Lore: I love the gears acting as part of socialization! I'll have to keep that in mind. Is the "friendly" part meant to be about humans or other Pokemon?
Grammar/readability: The "and smile" feels unneeded as the following sentence establishes the cooperation, and it actually builds a little tension (is this vying for dominance? No! They're friends!).

[ebon warren]

I don't regularly use Gen 1 for any "standard" data since it was so riddled with issues and errors and they changed SO MANY THINGS immediately after that Gen. (They even made large changes before releasing Yellow it was so bad.)

[regal cedar]

Yupp.

[regal cedar]

In terms of friendliness, both!

[lapis cosmos]

Its a great entry.
I was modifying phrasing but couldn't get it to two sentences satisfactorily, but tried this (take and leave whatever you like!):
"As a particularly friendly Luxray fusion, when two pack-leading POKENAME meet, they temporarily connect their gear-shaped manes. The two packs become one afterwards, with both POKENAME serving as leaders."

Maybe "prides" instead of "packs" as Luxray is very lion-coded?

[regal cedar]

Hmm, maybe! Thanks for giving me some food for thought.

I did think of using 'manes', but I was wondering if it'd be okay when it's not exactly hair, or growing like a mane.

I think if a 'dex entry referred to Luxray's mane as, uh, a mane, then it'd be more obvious what I meant, too.

[lapis cosmos]

That's very fair. I thought with your entry including "gear-shaped" as a descriptor, that made "mane" fine. It also looks very much like a mane, but these are all just thoughts! Its a great entry regardless!

[regal cedar]

Hmm, true, true.

#dex-entries-discussion message

#dex-entries-discussion message

Here's two others if you'd like to read.

[lapis cosmos]

Always happy to! I should probably look into this Dexdoku thing!

[timid sky]

For the second version, it should be “a DNA sample will closely resemble” instead of “closely resembles”

[regal cedar]

Oh, good catch.

[lapis cosmos]

I prefer the first phrasing, and I'd switch "taken out" with "drawn" (as it is the verb for taking blood)

[regal cedar]

Drawn is perfect! Good thinking.

[fair thicket]

not sure if there's a way to request changes, but
this entry would be improved if it read A seamstress in Hutber Port uses Altaduck fluff to create scuba gear. Mainly to avoid the agreement issue, but this rewrite also improves concision.

[regal cedar]

It's still technically correct, I'm pretty sure, but, yes, errors are submitted in #custom-dex-errors

[timid sky]

Where is Hutber Port?

[regal cedar]

It's an anime location.

[timid sky]

That explains why I’ve never heard of it

[fair thicket]

a Altaduck is technically correct?

[timid sky]

It’d be nice if the anime stopped making up a billion locations solely for the purposes of filler

[regal cedar]

Oh, good catch.

Interestingly, it seems I marked it that it needed to be edited for 'an' in the past...but then totally forgot to do it. Or my internet died or something, it does that sometimes.

POKENAME move through the forest in eerie silence. Though harmless, they tend to make hikers deeply uncomfortable.

#dex-entries-discussion message

#dex-entries-discussion message

Looking for any more feedback on these two before submitting!

[lapis cosmos]

Not a ton of feedback, but some grammar concise editing:
“Each POKENAME develops a unique diet, ranging from purely organic to purely mineral. Rarely, it may simply rely on energy to live.”
The first sentence is the one that I suggest to revise for conciseness.

[rugged socket]

I like em:)

[jagged ledge]

I'm curious behind the context of the inclusion of the word "eventually". Does that imply that most don't need to eat organic food? Do they not enjoy eating organic food? When you say "entirely" organic food, what do you mean? Like is Jell-o not entirely organic because it's manmade?

[jagged ledge]

I like the idea and it's a very cute entry, but you jump to the implication of leading the pack before indicating there is a pack in the first place. "When it sees another pack-leading POKENAME," I might recommend changing this to say "When two pack-leading POKENAME meet," or something along those lines.

[regal cedar]

That makes sense.

[regal cedar]

'eventually' refers to the fact that they develop the diet/energy needs as they grow older. Sort of like how those that grow up might start developing intolerances.

[jagged ledge]

You do say "will develop"...

Replace "need to eat entirely organic foods" with "only need to eat organic foods" and I can see it, yeah.

[regal cedar]

That makes sense! Thanks.

Dropping my Muk/Zubat revision here for feedback and thoughts!
Muk Zubat (Mubat) 89.41.png
A newly formed POKENAME struggles to maintain a consistent form, so it will create temporary appendages to shovel anything into its waiting maws. The more it eats, the better it gets at holding shape for extended periods.

[small nest]

I see. The Zubat component of the fusion isn't used to being amorphous.
I believe the entry could be improved by being updated to say "shovel anything nearby."
Furthermore, I believe the entry would be further improved if you discussed Zubat's influence further, but this is only a suggestion.

[lapis cosmos]

I'm going to let that suggestion about incorporating Zubat more specifically percolate in my brain. I have an idea but the wording isn't hitting.

In the meantime, seeking feedback on my Klink family column of Dexdoku!

Stunfisk Klink (Stunink) #420.397
POKENAME spins through seashore mud in search of a partner to accelerate evolution. Metal detectors identify it, leading to many beachcombing treasure hunters getting shocked.

Klang Litwick (Klawick) #398.365a
As POKENAME spins, it consumes the life energy powering its flames and grows smaller. When the minigear’s flame is consumed it falls off and the big gear must find another to connect to or its flame will extinguish and it will die.

Ampharos Klinklang (Amphaklang) #181.337
As POKENAME incessantly rotates its gears, building energy which is stored in the red cores and generates the wool encircling it. It must be careful since if the wool snags in the gears, energy generation will screech to a painful halt.

[regal cedar]

Would you mind linking the picture? :o

[lapis cosmos]

#dex-entries-discussion message

[regal cedar]

Being in the presence of another and their gears turning together accelerates the speed of its evolution? Is that what it's trying to say?

[lapis cosmos]

Yeah, since the sprite is a single gear unlike most Klink

[regal cedar]

Yup, I noticed that too!

(In reference to Stunfisk/Klink)

I think the core ideas presented here are great!
I do wonder if there's other ways of putting the info , but nothing immediately jumps out to me as "wrong".
If something were to adjust, I believe it would be in the second sentence. Again, don't believe it is breaking any gramatical rules... perhaps it's because "Metal detectors identify it" naturally feels incomplete (though again, not wrong).

Although, saying
Since metal detectors sense it, many beachcombing treasure hunters end up getting shocked.
Might be TOO wordy. So perhaps ignore me.

Overall, very solid entry with clear and unique ideas and conveyed in a simple, flavorful manner.

[regal cedar]

Let's see.
The flame itself has life energy, then?

Perhaps 'extinquished' or 'put out' instead of consumed? Consumed, to me, gives connotations of eating.
Admittedly, extinquish/put out DOES give connotations of purposefully dousing the flame, so not a dealbreaker.

"the big gear must find another..."
Another minigear? The initial subject was the minigear's flame. Unless you mean restarting the minigear's candle flame?

Perhaps making the last "its flame" to "its own flame"? I know the word limit is worrying!

A lot of flame and gear and it, but that's kind of unavoidable.

Good job incorporating both Pokémon!

[regal cedar]

Is the first sentence complete?
Should it not be "it builds energy"?
Is the red core or the gear turning causing the wool generation?

POKENAME's preferred method of attack involves latching onto its opponent's face with its powerful jaws and letting out an ear-piercing shriek. It exhibits violent and overtly confrontational behavior, so rigorous training is almost always required.

[jagged ledge]

Processing... one inquiry. If it used to live in the jungle, where does it live now?

[limber parrot]

..Area Zero, I assume?

[tepid bison]

So apologies, but I will do my research for the benefit of all, not the benefit of villainy

[jagged ledge]

Additionally, it is recommended to avoid switching between plural and singular within one entry.

[limber parrot]

Thank you, Miss Sada.

[jagged ledge]

I understand, but the invitation shall remain open. And I am happy to share my data with a fellow researcher should you find a Pokémon you cannot define on your own.

[jagged ledge]

You're welcome.

[tepid bison]

That is respectable. And I would still be willing to respect and share data with another researcher, even if it means they are evil, while I am not.

[jagged ledge]

A satisfactory entry indeed, your reward is an invitation to Team Rainbow Rocket and data on a Pokémon of your choice.

[regal cedar]

Do you have data on the evolutionary branch?

[jagged ledge]

Negative.

[regal cedar]

I will consider my options.

[jagged ledge]

Take all the time you need.

[clear hollow]

hey, don't steal my sprite you weirdo

[jagged ledge]

Apologies, I simply wished to know more information. Is there any such information you could provide?

[lapis cosmos]

Yeah that’s a missed grammar mistake while revising since the gears turn and generate energy and wool.

[lapis cosmos]

Litwick’s flame is life energy it absorbs from people.

But yeah, some rewording around all the flames and gears for conciseness is def in order.

[clear hollow]

Sadly, I can't... ||Because I like the others' entries and don't wanna overwrite them || But I have some information regarding its supposed descendant!

POKENAME hunts near watering holes and uses its lullabies, which sound more like soft soothing growls than actual singing, to put its prey asleep. Its lung capacity allows it to sing or hide underwater for hours without the need to breathe.

[lapis cosmos]

POKENAME attacks by debilitating foes with a high-pitched scream, followed by chomping with crushing jaws. When it sings, its long, furry tail wags high in the air.

[jagged ledge]

Processing... unnecessary usage of the word "the" in the first sentence between than and actual, otherwise satisfactory.

[clear hollow]

Corrected

[jagged ledge]

Thank you.

[jagged ledge]

Entry approved. Thank you for your submission.

You both have earned a formal invitation to Team Rainbow Rocket and data on a Pokémon of your choice.

[clear hollow]

[tepid bison]

Would you like to Join the Rebellion?

[clear hollow]

Nah, I feel evil today >:3

Can I choose this one?

or this one

[tepid bison]

After joining, you CAN'T unjoin.

[jagged ledge]

Affirmative!

Simply type /join-team-galactic! Cyrus is in charge of grunt recruitment.

[jagged ledge]

POKENAME are rather affectionate and easily distracted, bouncing with joy with an otherworldly grace. However, if they are interrupted in their merriment, the entire atmosphere will shift as their smiles grow strangely intense.

[clear hollow]

Sounds insane, I love it

[jagged ledge]

I'm glad. 👍

[regal cedar]

Please study (276.311) and send the data here.

[jagged ledge]

Late at night, POKENAME drift through the forest in search of fallen branches. The branches they gather suddenly sprout new leaves before disappearing behind their masks.

[regal cedar]

I see... I wonder if that means they consume them. I imagine it's a bit hard to study Ghost-type anatomy, especially one like the Duskull line.

[jagged ledge]

It is possible. Or perhaps they are simply whisked away to another dimension. Data remains inconclusive.

[remote wadi]

A graceful and loyal fighter, POKENAME strives to fend for the ones it truly cares for. The twin blades the POKENAME uses shares both as an offensive and defensive weapon using the aura that emits from the care and trust between them and the trainer.

[small nest]

Excellent! My analysis indicates that the entry could be improved by editing the second sentence slightly:
POKENAME uses its twin blades both as an offensive and a defensive weapon, fueled by the aura of care and trust POKENAME shares with its trainer.

[golden pewter]

@small nest has awarded @remote wadi 3 grunt points!

[winged moss]

any idea for this one mabye pokemname lives in dark caves it enjoys its prey suffering

[small nest]

What a fascinating beast. Is that a Mawile fused with a Lopunny?
Scanning.
Would you like help writing an entry, or would you like one written for you?

[winged moss]

so my main idea was that it lives in dark cave using it jaws not only on rocks but on trainers and Pokémons

im here to help and brainstorm some ideas

and cuz of that smile it’s enjoys its pray suffering

[urban drum]

Had a bit of trouble writing this one. Thoughts?
POKENAME are capable of absorbing tremendous amounts of energy from other Pokémon, making them quite dangerous. It dislikes sunlight and retreats to caves when wounded.

[clear hollow]

Its rattle is made of loose golden plates; they create a sound similar to coins jingling against one another whenever POKENAME shakes its tail. Pokémon who are attracted to shiny things, such as Murkrow and Sableye, are POKENAME's main prey.

[timid sky]

@jagged ledge dexdoku Psychic/Gen 5+:

When POKENAME grinds its teeth, it fires steel spikes from its body. POKENAME uses its psychic powers to control the spike's trajectory.

[lapis cosmos]

What is the combo?

[urban drum]

Necrozma/Zubat

[lapis cosmos]

It's interesting as the two have very different light preferences (nothing I can think to change there). You want it in singular in general rather than plural, and I'd cut the words "making them quite dangerous" as it is implied by being able to absorb energy from other Pokemon. Maybe instead of that, something about how it absorbs the energy?

[urban drum]

Gotcha, how's this?
POKENAME is capable of absorbing tremendous amounts of energy from other Pokémon using its psychic powers. It dislikes sunlight and retreats to caves when wounded.

Pretty new here, so I'll avoid using plural in the future.

[lapis cosmos]

No worries, it just tends to be a consistency thing with mainline dex entries. Unless of course you are referring to the fusion in groups.

I think it looks really solid!

[urban drum]

Alright, thanks!

[lapis cosmos]

Dropping off revisions for feedback before heading out for a bit:
Muk Zubat (Mubat) 89.41.png v3
A new POKENAME struggles maintaining a consistent form, so it creates temporary flying drones to deliver anything nearby into its waiting maws. The drones use their ears to return to the gurgling mouths, where the drones reabsorb into the main body.
(really unsure about the drone thing but trying to incorporate elements of both 'mon and the sprite)

Ampharos Klinklang (Amphaklang) #181.337
The rotating of POKENAME’s gears builds energy, which it stores in the red cores protected in its wool. The cores are highly sought after to power large devices like lighthouses.

[regal cedar]

I do wonder if there's a better term than 'drones'. I assume it's like...flying parts of itself that it uses to get into about the world. ...Kind of like an insect, so maybe Drone is ok? Hmm. I feel like there must be some better term.

[lapis cosmos]

Probe felt too mechanical. There’s got to be a better one out there…

[regal cedar]

Familiar sounds too magical, hmm... Spawn doesn't seem quite right?

[craggy beacon]

the idea is like

little entities that fly off and then come back to feed it, right?

or wander off or what have you

Minions /j

[tepid bison]

Wallace, why are YOU in Team Rocket?

[craggy beacon]

Uuuh i gotta go

[winged moss]

how many dex entries are there for mawile fusions

[lapis cosmos]

That’s the idea! Minions implies some level of sentience rather than just like “get food, return”

[lapis cosmos]

If you check the Google Sheet you can scroll through the entire fusion list of body or head for Mawile (hello fellow Mawile enthusiast!)

[craggy beacon]

im trying to think of biology terms that would fit

[winged moss]

ok thx

[craggy beacon]

like foragers, to take inspiration from foraging bees

and same inspiration, "workers"

[wary scarab]

When POKENAME sings with intense emotions, it generates flames. The more emotional it is, the stronger the flames become, making its songs both beautiful and dangerous.

How do we feel?

[dense meteor]

https://www.fusiondex.org/385.67/
It spends its life in search of the perfect opponent. Upon finding such a foe, it forfeits immediately.

[urban drum]

#1363316158614470706
POKENAME can typically be seen scouring beaches for food. While normally too cowardly to fight, this Pokémon will become enraged when the shell on its head is touched.

[cobalt remnant]

Does anyone know the number for the 3 way fusions legendary

[regal cedar]

Should be on Wiki.

[timid sky]

Those aren’t able to have dex entries made for them though

[regal cedar]

Yes, that's correct.

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Charmander

POKENAME are often found together as a pack. There is no hierarchy and when one decides to get up and move, the others follow. They seem to be able to draw in nutrients from the ground by burying their tails in the ground.

[regal cedar]

Ooh, unique!

[small nest]

Well done, this is useful data and I detect no errors.

[golden pewter]

@small nest has awarded @wary scarab 5 grunt points!

[wary scarab]

Ah thank you professor.

[small nest]

This is humorous. I approve greatly. If you join Team Rainbow Rocket, I will reward you for this entry.

Good job! Informative and error free.

incredibly funny with no context

[lapis cosmos]

Dexdoku Psychic entries for feedback:

Ponyta Slowbro (Ponybro) #77.80
POKENAME has the physique to be an incredible runner, but the Shellder on its tail secretes a venom that tires it out. The fiery tail slowly cooks the Shellder, neutralizing the toxin and allowing POKENAME to access its psychic abilities.

Wobbuffet Chinchou (Wobchu) #202.170
POKENAME hides in dark ocean waters, using the Wobbuffet lures to entice prey. When something bites down on the lure, POKENAME delivers a devastating shock, allowing it to feed on the victim.

Gardevoir/Chesnaught (Gardenaught) #287.481
POKENAME prefers not to fight, but will hold nothing back if those it cares about are threatened. Even at risk of its own life, it will embrace its allies to fully shield them from a cataclysmic threat.

[proper yacht]

entries of some of my team members without their own custom entries

Goodra / Empoleon (Gooleon) - #466.324
The fusion’s viscous, powerful body can mold into sharp weaponry or wash over foes with graceful fluidity. All POKENAME become protective sentinels and see themselves as equal to their trainers, leading proud yet compassionate lives.

Zweilous / Arbok (Zweibok) - #376.24
It takes a monk’s patience and an army’s supply of food to keep POKENAME’s twin heads happy, and the corrosive saliva it produces when hungry is incredibly dangerous. Antidotes are recommended to keep on hand when training one.

[proper yacht]

Mimikyu / Slaking (Mimiking) - #373.309
POKENAME feeds on extreme emotions, whether radiant joy or agonizing pain, then rests for long periods each day. It makes for a good pillow at night, but POKENAME might crush you in your sleep with its massive patchwork body.

[daring coral]

I found that two of my aces don't have entries at all and it makes me sad

I am curious, so I know when you're referencing the dex entry itself you have to type POKENAME, but what if you have the entry reference a seperate pokemon?

[timid sky]

If you reference a different Pokémon you have to type out its name

[daring coral]

Cool cool, can I get some feedback for this?

Haxorus/Garchomp (Haxchomp) #368.299b

POKENAME displays more territorial behaviors in the wild compared to their Garchomp Cousins. To keep the blades on their bodies sharp, POKENAME are often found trying to polish their arms and crown on smoothed boulders.

[lapis cosmos]

Lore: Solid. "smoothed boulders" sounds weird. Are you trying to imply that it smoothed the boulders?

Grammar: Some unneeded words. Here's a revision suggestion with no content changed: "A wild POKENAME displays more territorial behaviors than other Garchomp species. To keep its arm and crown blades sharp, POKENAME is often found polishing them on smooth boulders."
Pokemon tend to be referred to in the singular in the Pokedex unless explicitly referencing a group.
Other cuts or edits were for consolidating ideas or unneeded words. Take or leave!

[daring coral]

The singular part I def struggle with sometimes, kinda was using the term "cousins" as a sort of genetics idea, despite how farfetched(ahaha) it may be

[lapis cosmos]

I mean, if you're just referring to base-Garchomp, then "Garchomp" or "Garchomp cousins" are probably fine.

[regal cedar]

This depends on what's being talked about, yeah.

Garchomp fusions, Garchomp variants...

[lapis cosmos]

Along with my Dexdoku Psychic fusions, I now have my fossils ready for feedback.

Ho-oh Kabuto (Ho-to) #250.140.png
POKENAME lives in communities of seven, with each having feathers that reflect a different color of the rainbow as they fly. It has been considered a symbol of happiness and good luck since ancient times, especially when seeing a full swarm.

Lileep Magnemite (Lilmite) #301.81
POKENAME secures itself to a surface by manipulating the magnetic charge in its screw, allowing it to easily snag prey with its tentacles. In the modern world, it has spread across many regions by magnetizing to boats.

Omastar Golurk (Omalurk) #139.369
POKENAME continually grows, so it hunts and devours other Pokémon with armored shells. It squeezes its soft body into these shells, adding them to its protective suit.

[regal cedar]

Content itself sounds wonderful! Let me do a few other checks.

[regal cedar]

To make sure I'm understanding: Being secured lets it more easily snag prey?

[lapis cosmos]

Yup. Was cutting down on wordiness but maybe should include that.

[regal cedar]

Well, that gets implied by the sentence already. I suppose I'm trying to understand how being secured lets it get prey easier. Just allows for more resistance? Can it extend like Lileep and snatch? I'm unsure.

Although, I am in slight food coma from Easter, so I might also be missing the obvious.

[lapis cosmos]

That was my idea. The tentacles are Lileep's very organic ones.

[regal cedar]

Gotcha, that was what I had in mind.

[daring coral]

I just mean base garchomps, yeah

[fleet oracle]

Sorry for getting back late yeah absolutely

[daring coral]

Here's another I could use some feedback for

Talonflame/Luxray (Talonray) #372.332

Using electromagnetism through its feathers, POKENAME is able to reach upto near sonic speed. When agitated, POKENAME emits a blistering heat by overcharging its feathers.

[clear hollow]

PokeMANE? What is it, some kind of an influencer?

Seriously, kids these days...

[daring coral]

Oh my god I misclicked the m😭

[terse tide]

Finally, I have time for some late night dex-ing

[terse tide]

Phew, got 12 done in just over an hour. Time for some sleep

[small nest]

Analysis suggests adding commas would improve legibility.
feathers, POKENAME is able to reach up to
When agitated, POKENAME emits

[wary scarab]

POKENAME puts on a fearsome display, but the moment it's outmatched, it folds in on itself and flees in disgrace. Despite its armor and poisoned spikes, it's known as a hopeless coward in the wild.

[hollow ingot]

POKENAME is rumoured to be the result of a ritualistic experiment carried out by a shady shaman who bound the tattered patchwork and the souls of a Mimikyu and a Banette together in one body. Possessing the traits of being a voodoo doll with shadowy tendrils as its extensions, POKENAME’s prowess for placing curses on people has reached new heights.

My original origin for this Pokemon heavily leaned on a shaman sowing the damaged bodies of Mimikyu and Banette together to repair them and test their increased spiritual prowess. But, I realised I’d be making a Shuppet-into-Banette situation here and decided to tone it down as just a rumour

[wary scarab]

I feel this may have several issues as the term "Gypsy" is typically very offensive and seen as a slur...

[regal cedar]

That's correct. The term is considered outdated and at the very least controversial. Please find another term.

[hollow ingot]

Really? I genuinely did not know that

So, what would be considered the proper term for it?

[wary scarab]

The Romani or Roma is the name of the actual group of people. But as they do not exist within the PIF universe I do not know if you could mention them?

[narrow cosmos]

Since it's being made as something of a voodoo style thing, would "shaman" work for your idea?

[hollow ingot]

Oh, I thought a gypsy was someone who specialised in spiritual stuff like voodoo, witchcraft and black magic

[hollow ingot]

That could work, yeah!

[wary scarab]

Nope common misconception but the term gypsy originated from the Europeans mistaking the Romani people as Egyptians and the witchcraft idea stemmed from Middle Ages Europeans believing their different lifestyle to be demonic and devilish.

[hollow ingot]

Ahh, ok. Thx for clarifying that

[daring coral]

Thank ya🙏🏻

[lapis cosmos]

To be honest, a lot of these terms have become problematic or appropriative as they are using a religion or culture (voodoo, shaman, etc).

I’d recommend cutting those phrases at all when possible (unless you have a personal connection to them, which means I have no context).

For @hollow ingot ‘s entry this discussion is about, there’s a lot which can be cut for both conciseness and sensitivity:
POKENAME is rumoured to be the result of an experiment binding the tattered patchwork and souls of a Mimikyu and a Banette together in one body. POKENAME’s prowess for placing curses on people has reached new heights.

[narrow cosmos]

I forget, for a Dexdoku with typing, does the fusion need to possess the type, or just one of the constituents? Like if I fused a Fire type to Klink but the particular fusion came out without the Fire type, does that disqualify?

[terse tide]

What's a dexdoku?

[narrow cosmos]

An event that runs here each month where you try to make dex entries in a 3x3 grid based on a theme/criteria.

Here's an example via one I took part in a little bit ago

[terse tide]

Ohhhhhh neat!

[terse tide]

(Side note: That is a very silly Wailord/Exeggutor fusion)

[narrow cosmos]

(It is, that's why we love him. )

[terse tide]

Oh wow, this dexduko thing seems really cool. How did I not know it existed???

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME manifests three orbs of fire through its telekinetic powers, used for self-defense. If an opponent is not defeated or deterred after all three are used, it retreats by teleporting away.

Psychic/Fire entry for DexDoku attempt!

[narrow cosmos]

Can be kinda hard to keep track of them as it primarily is noted in the events section of the Discord compared to hear, where traffic moves through more general dex stuff as well as the event stuff on occasion.

It hides itself within cumulus clouds, its electric stores slowly turning them dark and thunderous. Once its hiding spot becomes a true thundercloud, it teleports to another "clean" cloud.

Psychic/Electric attempt!

[lapis cosmos]

I believe that does disqualify. It has to still be a fire type.

[narrow cosmos]

I figured as much, just needed to make sure. I'll err on the side of caution for entries unless told otherwise then. Thanks!

[regal cedar]

I was wondering if there was going to be any last-minute entries!

[narrow cosmos]

Yes, I know I should have gotten this done way sooner. 😅

[regal cedar]

It's been a pretty busy week with holidays, so I think it's understandable!

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME hovers just above the ground, the eye in the center forever unblinking. Those who stare into it swear they see the shape of something rotating with the cocoon, but find themselves unable to describe it in detail.

Psychic/Gen 5 entry attempt!

[terse tide]

Unown fusions always have the best dex entries ❤️

[narrow cosmos]

I'm not the best at them, but it gives me a chance to try out my hand at making mysterious/spooky entries. It's fun!

[regal cedar]

I like going really weird with Unown entries.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME churns its gears together at high speed to create large gouts of flame. Its intense nature drives it to try and create increasingly fiery bursts, indifferent to the damage it causes its surroundings.

Klink/Fire entry attempt!

Its gears carry a faint residue that allow it to cling to surfaces, even when oriented upside-down. The residue stuck to the walls it scurries across contains mild static electricity, so caution is advised when cleaning its tracks.

Klang/Electric entry attempt!

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME is most often seen in scrapyards, consuming any bits of metal it comes across. With its composition being a seemingly-random assortment of junk parts, scientists are flummoxed figuring out how it functions at all.

Klinklang/Gen 5 entry attempt!

It breathes a thick cloud of steam at others in order to obscure their vision to its approach. The last thing most POKENAME prey see is its piercing red eyes approaching from within the sweltering fog.

Kabutops/Fire entry!

[small nest]

Error detected: scene should be seen.
This fusion is intriguingly futuristic and the data is appreciated. If you join Team Rainbow Rocket, you will be suitably rewarded.

[narrow cosmos]

Edited and fixed up, thanks!

POKENAME has earned quite a sour reputation for hanging around gas stations and pretending to offer a refueling, so that it can instead siphon the fuel from people's cars in order to sustain itself.

Armaldo/Electric entry!

[narrow cosmos]

It is believed that what looks to be its body is merely a spiritual extension of a haunted soul trapped in the shell. Some say the shell opens its eyes and glares at those that have committed terrible deeds in a past life.

Omastar/Gen 5 entry!

Now if they all pass discretion, to see if Wildheart can do like last time and make the Dexdoku sheet for me, since I'm not good at that.

(Dunno if that'd break the keyfabe though )

[terse tide]

(Psst, you can't say "it's" since it has an apostrophe)

[narrow cosmos]

Edited!

[hollow nimbus]

A Pokémon that consumes an alternate form of sustenance to avoid competition... Very clever.
We could use your talents in Team Rainbow Rocket.
Would you like to be part of something bigger than yourself?

[terse tide]

I'm not 100% sure how how the submission for the Dexdoku works so if I need to change anything just let me know. But for now here is my submission!

[narrow cosmos]

Some damn nice entries there friend. Tough competition in this round!

[terse tide]

Thank you, but you have some hard hitters too

[narrow cosmos]

Thanks. I think I did alright with my entries if they get accepted. And I think I've made a few good entries that got approved so far. 😄

(Still kinda amazed I'm at around 1200 approved entries and counting.)

[rich goblet]

How are folks? My job search is difficult but I did want to check in on my friends here

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Charmeleon
POKENAME are able to draw in moisture from the air and can spray water from their tail. They also do what their trainers ask without question. This has led to some keen campers raising POKENAME and using them as a portable shower.

Dunno if this one is a bit too weird, lemme know please

[terse tide]

WAIT 1200!?

[narrow cosmos]

Let me recheck the doc...1226 currently approved! (Only around 700-ish are in-game though last I checked, don't think the dex entries in-game have been updated in a bit.)

[rich goblet]

I am so proud of you (not that you needed it, still am)

[terse tide]

Oh wait, 4 more till I get to 100

[rich goblet]

I should check how many I have approved

I have like 500 or so oh dang

[terse tide]

Oh wait, one of my dex entries made a new FAQ lol

[narrow cosmos]

Just remember, doesn't mean mine are all quality, just quantity.

[terse tide]

Well I have to get 100 now, I just dont know what 4 ill do?

[narrow cosmos]

As the gears turn, POKENAME fires out extendable tongues to catch insects to consume. Should the two tongues collide when extended, sparks will fly from the impact point and POKENAME will be disoriented for a time.

[narrow cosmos]

I've just been picking at random ones from the high-priority wild list, you could always look there!

[terse tide]

AHHHHH I PRESSED THE PRINT BUTTON

[regal cedar]

big mood lol

[timid sky]

Guess we’d better start calling you izik 2.0

[narrow cosmos]

More like 1.5 with how many he has.

[terse tide]

How the mighty have fallen

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME fancies itself the life of any social gathering, attempting to wow others with displays of color changing and its self-taught style of dancing. Most find its desperation to look cool rather off-putting.

[terse tide]

Dex Entry 100 🎉

It lounges silently in abandoned ruins, its single eye never blinking. Though it appears lazy, its presence disrupts compasses and clocks, as if time itself grows sluggish around it.

[warped panther]

I don't think that's in IF. :thinking: Did you misspell something?

[drowsy linden]

this auto dex entries is already fitting. you would just have to remove flygon, since i dont believe they existed in ancient times, and maybe include a live about seeing clearly in the sandstorm.

[regal cedar]

We appreciate entries that differ from the auto-genned ones to avoid plagiarism.

Why is there an i before a in plagiarism? Oh, English.

[drowsy linden]

thats fair, i could possibly rerwite it later if that would work

phrase it in a different way yknow

i also have an idea for a different dinosaur pokemon so ill probably write a few entries lol

[ebon warren]

You can definitely use the auto one as inspiration but definitely write it more cohesively, currently that is just one sentence from Krookodile and the next sentence from Aerodactyl from the main games

[drowsy linden]

yeah i understand

ill definitely write out some dex entries for the dinasours

theyre always some of my favourite pokemon and seeing fusions are awesome

[lapis cosmos]

Kadabra/Sandygast (Kadagast) #64.459
POKENAME obsessively sculpts its body by psychically manipulating its spoon. Even if offered a better tool, it prefers the spoon as if proving its tenacity and skill to itself.

[jagged ledge]

Well I learned my lesson about taking the better part of the week off...

https://tenor.com/view/i-have-so-much-work-to-do-aimee-garcia-ella-lopez-chloe-decker-lauren-german-gif-17398911

Ahem Recalibrating...

Thank you to all participants of Dexdoku and all writers for general additional Pokedex Entries. Please be patient and rest assured that all of your submissions will be reviewed at our earliest convenience.

[lapis cosmos]

Noctowl/Ninjask (Noctjask) #164.356
POKENAME soars through forests and urban areas at night in complete silence. It unleashes a shrill song to communicate with others, which alongside its stealth and unblinking, red eyes has led to many believing it is a bad omen.

Noctowl/Shedinja (Noctinja) #164.289
POKENAME silently soars through the night sky without moving its wings. Folklore says that its horn halo glows particularly bright when ferrying a good person to the afterlife.

[jagged ledge]

Ideally the fusion would include the listed type, yes.

[jagged ledge]

If you enjoy Unown Dex Entries, may I recommend this one?

☝️

[terse tide]

That’s perfect 😭

[jagged ledge]

Thank you.

[ebon warren]

The first sentence is very wordy and could benefit from being made much more succinct. The second sentence is a little confusing, I'd recommend changing after to once for clarity.

[ebon warren]

I'm so impressed, I know the Professor herself didn't grasp humor in this manner, you've learned how to be cheeky Sada!

[jagged ledge]

Thank you, Buzz. Perhaps someday I can be as comedic as your performance as a grunt.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME defends itself by creating a trio of floating orbs of fire. If an opponent is not defeated or deterred once all three are used, it retreats by teleporting away.

How's this?

(Wordiness is something I just can't get rid of when I'm making dex entries, I can't resist being thorough. 😅)

[ebon warren]

The first sentence needs the second clause (after the comma) to have a better transition, it is clunky and confusing and not technically grammatically correct. The second sentence needs a comma between another and "clean" since they are both adjectives in sequence describing the same noun.
Also, this entire entry consists entirely of pronouns referencing the fusion, without any antecedents. It needs at least one of them (ideally earlier in the entry) to say POKENAME or this Pokémon so that it is properly referenced somewhere in the entry.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME hides itself within cumulus clouds, its electric stores slowly turning them dark and thunderous. Once its current hiding spot turns thunderous, it teleports to another, "clean" cloud to hide.

[regal cedar]

I'm more than willing to format it like the others, I'm just not sure on the font and general styling. But here was my submission!

[ebon warren]

First sentence is better, I like it! You added some extra words in sentence two though
Once its current hiding spot turns thunderous, it teleports to another, "clean" cloud to hide.
Does that work?

[ebon warren]

I'd only change fire orbs to orbs of fire because the purpose of that sentence is the orbs, which are made of fire, so adding that prepositional phrase in that manner means that the orbs are the object and the fire is describing the orbs. Does that make sense?

[ebon warren]

@jagged ledge can you clarify? I don't feel I can properly answer this inquiry

[narrow cosmos]

That works! And I can't help it, I'm just addicted to words, we got two pages of dex space available, and I'm gonna use 'em.

And "orbs of fire" works too! I was maybe just over-concising things there in that case.

Oh, the professor already did, it's no worries! All my entries contain the proper typing anyway as a safety precaution, so there should be no troubles there.

[ebon warren]

Can I try rewording this a little for you? It has some awkwardness in phrasing and it's hard to describe so I wanted to simply make the changes

[narrow cosmos]

Sure, feel free, gotta try and boost it up to dexdoku standards.

(Though man, I feel like last time I tried these my efforts were a lot more successful out of the gate, clearly I got rusty. )

[ebon warren]

It may also just be me. I'm highly critical, anything even remotely associated with the Rainbow Rocket logo must be impeccable, including all publicized Dexdoku charts

[ebon warren]

POKENAME hovers just above the ground, its central eye forever unblinking. Those who stare too long will swear they've seen the shape of something rotating inside the cocoon, but find themselves incapable of describing it adequately.
I can't check the character count (mobile), is that under 251?

[ebon warren]

I like this, and it's an awesome use of the word gouts ||even I had to check and confirm it was correct, and it is!||

[regal cedar]

Yes. 233

[jagged ledge]

I will perform a secondary analysis once Buzz has finished his. He is indeed highly critical. For some reason he takes issue with me calling him by name.

[narrow cosmos]

You and me both brother.

Sometimes I come up with a million-dollar word while making an entry and have to quickly check if it even is a word or if I got it right.

4/9 in tentative approval phase, so not bad!

[ebon warren]

I had to confirm it was fluids and not specifically liquid, which it is! Plasma and gasses both count as fluids so you are good

[ebon warren]

My issue is with your programming code, not you, don't worry.

[jagged ledge]

I would suggest taking issue with the file my code is reading from should your hypothesis be correct, but I appreciate the sentiment.

[ebon warren]

I didn't notice a reply, did you like this @narrow cosmos?

[narrow cosmos]

Oh, sorry! Yeah, that's a really solid adjustment of it, cleans it up while still staying true to what I was going for!

[ebon warren]

The changes I made were subtle and hard to explain but I thought they made it more vibrant and concise

[ebon warren]

I wanted to ensure you approved as well

It's very clever and interesting lore

[narrow cosmos]

I always try to get weird with Unown heads.

Bodies...a little more tricky.

[ebon warren]

Understandably so, even with our immense resources Team Rainbow Rocket does not fathom all of the mysteries around that aptly-named Pokémon species.

[small nest]

My research has uncovered this intriguing fusion originally discovered by @late magnet . I requiiire data on how it functions.

All grunts who provide Pokédex entries will be rewarded. Data from others will also be appreciated, though I am unable to provide similar compensation for those outside of our organization.

[hexed fox]

Ohhh, fascinating a rotom piloting a mechanised Groudon?

[late magnet]

It's in reference to the robo groudon from pokemon colloseum
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Robo_Groudon

lore-wise, there's a point in time where the professor abandons the robo groudon after you defeat him, Rotom could have possessed it at the time

[terse tide]

HA! That's amazing

[tired sinew]

A Rotom/Groudon.
Unhampered by any limitations that a human could have, it's become fully autonomous and uses the Groudon as both a protective shell AND an effective electrical cannon from its mouth.

[limber parrot]

The true body of POKENAME lies inside of the mechanical body. It now uses them both as a protective shell and an offensive weapon.

[terse tide]

It channels seismic energy through its reinforced plating, converting Earth's vibrations into electrical power. Upon impact, its systems release an electromagnetic pulse that can disrupt electrical grids and fracture solid rock.

[hexed fox]

Ohhhh cool!!

[tired sinew]

Roto-Don
The Electro-Earth Pokemon

Using its armored plating, it can get closer than most to the Earth's heated core, storing up volatile energy before charging it and releasing electric attacks hot enough to burn holes through skyscrapers.

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME uses unprecedented levels of electricity to devastate and reshape the land. Its arcs of lightning are powerful enough to split the earth's crust, or stimulate magma deep underground to cause eruptions.

[sudden oasis]

Do I get penalties for negative brownie points?

[hexed fox]

A Rotom piloting a machine of unknown origin, POKENAME can control its mechanical body with the upmost precision. As electricity combines with earth-shattering strength, its power is comparable to that of its own likeness.

[ebon warren]

I'd change the last part of the first sentence to something like even when vertical or inverted as it reads weird right now and is cumbersome. I'd entirely switch up the second sentence, it's convoluted and the two pronouns have broken antecedents: Be cautious if you find tracks left by POKENAME; it leaves behind a residue that is mildly charged with static electricity. Something like that

[ebon warren]

I love the word flummoxed but it just doesn't work here, perhaps swap it for unable to figure out instead?

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME's gears carry a faint residue that allow it to cling to surfaces, even when vertical or inverted. Be cautious if you find tracks left by POKENAME; the residue it leaves behind is mildly charged with static electricity.

[ebon warren]

Let me rework this one some, it is currently a little helter-skelter:
When approached, POKENAME breathes a thick cloud of steam at others in order to obscure their vision. The last thing most of its prey see are piercing red eyes from within the sweltering mist.
There was a subject-verb agreement issue in the second sentence that I fixed too

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME is most often seen in scrapyards, consuming any bits of metal it comes across. With its composition being a seemingly-random assortment of junk parts, scientists are still studying how it functions at all.

[ebon warren]

I don't believe either base Pokémon consumes petroleum products in the normal lore, so while funny and interesting, this is breaking the FAQ Rule about stating things as fact.
Perhaps you could take off the last bit of the sentence, end the sentence, and then put something like No one knows what becomes of the siphoned fuel. or something equally mysterious

[ebon warren]

I'd still change the first pronoun to POKENAME. Otherwise there's no antecedent for any of the pronouns in the entry

[narrow cosmos]

Rotom and his jokier forms always causing problems.

[ebon warren]

(If you couldn't tell, broken antecedents is a big thing I notice )

[narrow cosmos]

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME has earned quite a sour reputation for hanging around gas stations and pretending to offer a refueling, so that it can instead siphon the fuel from people's cars. No one is sure what it does with the siphoned fuel.

[terse tide]

@narrow cosmos For my 100th dex entry I wrote one for the fusion I made but apparently you already made one for it 😂

[ebon warren]

Replace the first its with POKENAME's (antecedent again ) in the first sentence, and does this sound better to you in the second sentence?: the shell uncovers this Pokémon's eyes to glare at

[narrow cosmos]

I've dipped my hand in a lot of fusions

[terse tide]

Looks like im going to have to take that dex entry then >:)

[narrow cosmos]

Hmm, I might need to reword the second sentence, because the implication is that the eye-sockets on the shell open up additional eyes, not that its uncovering the eyes we see on the main "body." Trying to give it a spooky air that I think wasn't clear.

[wary scarab]

POKENAME sat dormant for years, initially abandoned by it's creator. A surge of energy from a passing Rotom, however, reactivated its intricate systems, bringing it back online.

Something like this perhaps?

[ebon warren]

I believe you intended the first sentence to explain that the Pokémon fires its tongue to catch prey for consumption as the object of the sentence, currently the phrase to consume is an infinitive of the verb consume, which won't fit because this clause already has a conjugated verb (fires) AND an infinitive verb (to catch), am I correct?
In the second sentence, I'd suggest changing the two tongues to these two tongues as the demonstrative is more precise than the article adjective.

[narrow cosmos]

As the gears turn, POKENAME fires out extendable tongues to catch insects for consumption. Should these two tongues collide when extended, sparks will fly from the impact point and POKENAME will be disoriented for a time.

[ebon warren]

The first sentence is a little lengthy and could be split into two sentences right at the comma, but it isn't necessary. I would change Most in the second sentence to something more precise like Others

[ebon warren]

Is this a Lucifer GIF?!

[ebon warren]

No one instead of None and it's good

[jagged ledge]

Data inconclusive. It was simply the gif deemed most appropriate for the situation.

[narrow cosmos]

I didn't even realize we're now past the DexDoku entries of mine.

[terse tide]

lol

[ebon warren]

You may not appreciate the humor in the show, but in a spare moment, download the complete series file collection, you will at least appreciate the characters, especially Lucifer and his therapist, and Maze. They remind me of Rainbow Rocket

[narrow cosmos]

Actually, those two in fact I'd already sent thinking they were decent, so now an Unown is gonna have to do the edits, what have I done.

[ebon warren]

That's fine

[jagged ledge]

Noted. Thank you for your recommendation.

[ebon warren]

Can you indicate the two in question for @jagged ledge? She has much faster access to the database if entries than I

[ebon warren]

With your advanced processing speed you probably only need about 5-15 minutes at most to review the entirety of all of show's seasons. It didn't run too long like many other shows

[narrow cosmos]

@jagged ledge If you will, at some point, adjust my entry for 290.397 to be "As the gears turn, POKENAME fires out extendable tongues to catch insects for consumption. Should these two tongues collide when extended, sparks will fly from the impact point and POKENAME will be disoriented for a time."

And my entry for 290.185 to be "POKENAME fancies itself the life of any social gathering, attempting to wow others with displays of color changing and its self-taught style of dancing. Others find its desperation to look cool rather off-putting."

That would be appreciated.

And if the edits to all the DexDoku entries seem good, I can start submitting them proper to the database, and hope that Sada's programming might include the ability to print out a dexdoku image for me. My own technology fails me at these artistic endeavors.

[ebon warren]

I believe I have reviewed all of the entries for @narrow cosmos as requested, @jagged ledge, hopefully I have reduced your processing backlog some. Please let me know if you need anything additionally from me.

[terse tide]

Oh, quick question. Will the dex entries in our DexDoku submission be automatically submitted to the form or will we have to enter them ourselves?

[jagged ledge]

Please enter them yourselves. Any edits will be applied as necessary.

[jagged ledge]

Processing... my analysis suggests the show is... a show

[small nest]

This entry could be perfected by upgrading "It now uses them" to "It uses the mech." Thank you for the elucidating data.

[small nest]

This is precisely the quality of data I need. It is error free and most informative.

[small nest]

This data is intriguing. My analysis suggests that the Pokédex cannot store an entry of this length, but I detect that the second paragraph would be an excellent entry on its own if it's was revised to its.

[small nest]

Excellent! I am most pleased by how the Rotom and Groudon components combine to create magma upwellings.

[small nest]

My research has revealed that fusions are always a blending of the two component Pokémon, rather than only one. I value this entry and hope that you will revise it accordingly.

Excellent work, authors. R-r-rrewards shall be distributed.

[ebon warren]

Turo, what was that?

[hexed fox]

For a first try, I'll take that. Thank you Professor

[small nest]

... It appears that my enthusiasm for Team R.R. (Rainbow Rocket) influenced my last transmission.

[terse tide]

Thank you professor

[golden pewter]

@small nest has awarded @limber parrot 5 grunt points!

@small nest has awarded @tired sinew 5 grunt points!

@small nest has awarded @hexed fox 5 grunt points!

[small nest]

Authors, please remember to add your entries to my database by utilizing the form in #dex-entries-submissions .

[hexed fox]

I look forward to seeing whose gets added, but everyone did an amazing job I'll likely stick to the concept art though

[narrow cosmos]

Alright, all DexDoku entries submitted proper, plus the Rotom/Groudon entry, I've done decent work today!

[ebon warren]

I counted 5 separate people that responded to your fusion, but I only see points awarded for three of those that submitted

[small nest]

Your analysis is correct, Bilge. As two of the research assistants have not yet joined Team Rainbow Rocket, grunt points have no function for them. Should they choose to join us, I will provide the reward at such time.

[ebon warren]

I see. It's unfortunate for them that they cannot claim their prize

[ebon warren]

I'm surprised you have not yet joined our cause. You certainly are capable of putting in the work and producing great results

[narrow cosmos]

(If I'm being totally honest this whole bit confuses me slightly so this whole takeover I've been, to use a word from earlier, flummoxed as to what's going on. )

[terse tide]

(Couldnt agree anymore)

So is it like we can participate in these events if we become a grunt?

[golden pewter]

Welcome to Team Galactic, @narrow cosmos!
(Now a subsidiary of Team Rainbow Rocket)

Our leader, Cyrus, wishes to create a new world, free of strife. Every pokemon, grunt, and fusion that joins the cause will help fix this incomplete world. Our dream is on the verge of becoming reality!

Go forth, and bring pride to our team! You may check your points at any time with /galactic-grunt-stats. May our hearts beat as one!

[terse tide]

Oop SK already fell to the dark side...

Ehh why not-

[golden pewter]

jaminmcready is not a Team Galactic grunt. Maybe you should join Team Galactic (without specifying a referrer) and recruit them to our cause.

[terse tide]

Wait how do I do this?

[wary scarab]

We currently have two potential notes regarding this fusion.

POKENAME uses the saggy folds of its body to store shiny objects and bits of trash it finds while wandering. It fiercely guards its hoard, scuffling with any who try to clean up its treasures.

POKENAME uses the saggy folds of its body to store shiny objects and bits of trash it finds while wandering. It fiercely guards its hoard, puffing up and releasing a foul stench when threatened.

[terse tide]

Personally, I’m a fan of the second potential entry.

[hexed fox]

I like the first better myself, the idea of it squaring up with someone just trying to clean up

[terse tide]

Oooo, interesting counter argument

[hexed fox]

Like. Imagine being just a regular cleanup guy. And when you go in to clean up you have this tiny huffy little bag trying to headbutt you in the shins

But bc it's basically a bag, most attacks just kind of bounce off uselessly

Still a fiesty lil friend though

[terse tide]

I liked the second one since imagining a big puffy version of this fusion seemed funny

But yeah, getting attacked in the shins is funnier

[wary scarab]

Well your so deemed "Nugget" is quite the feisty one so it does make sense.

[hexed fox]

He is my little nugget and I give him shiny soda tabs and bottle caps

[terse tide]

I like to imagine he takes huge steps because of all the trash in his pants

Little man, big stepper

[wary scarab]

I truly am curious to see what he would be like should he evolve but one step at a time...literally in his case.

[hexed fox]

A Garbodor with a hood/trash bag mask and baggy pants full of junk

[wary scarab]

Most likely

[ebon warren]

This is the Trubbish body fusion?

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Charmeleon
POKENAME are able to draw in moisture from the air and can spray water from their tail. There has been more than one report of a POKENAME preventing a house fire by using its tail to douse the flames.

Reposting bc no feedback, is this okay?

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Charizard
Generally, POKENAME are gentle creatures, but if they become furious, POKENAME can cause torrential rain from spraying water uncontrollably from their tail.

[wary scarab]

Ah, yes it is.

[ebon warren]

So I'd recommend having the "small little guy attacking people's shins" for this fusion and the "giant monster terror" concept for the evolution, Garbodor. Maybe?

[terse tide]

I do think this dex entry is better than your previous one. This one is more specific and detailed.

[terse tide]

But to make it less word you could change "more than one" to just "multiple"

[terse tide]

And then as for this one, you generally want you dex entries to be 2 sentences.

[ebon warren]

It's not required, but two seems to be optimal. I have certainly seen (and written) entries with only one sentence, and entries with three, but two is typically the norm

[terse tide]

Oh, interesting. I did not know that…

[wary scarab]

POKENAME uses the saggy folds of its body to store shiny objects and bits of trash it finds while wandering. Due to its small size, it can only attack people's shins if they try to clean up its treasures.

Does this sound better?

[ebon warren]

It's adorable. I'd be honored to have that little dude on my team. I think even @nimble sage might appreciate this one

[golden pewter]

@ebon warren has awarded @wary scarab 10 grunt points!

[wary scarab]

Wonderful! Thank you Butch.

[nimble sage]

Thank you for pointing out this specimen to me, Bobby.

[ebon warren]

You're welcome.
Take care not to misstep in those massive heels, I wouldn't want you to break an ankle

https://tenor.com/view/slipping-heels-drop-fall-fail-gif-13102090

[wary scarab]

I have also collected data on this specimen.

POKENAME flies silently through the night, trailing the scent of brimstone on its wings. It emits eerie howls mid-flight, startling prey before diving in to attack.

[jagged ledge]

While I thank Buzz for his assistance, I will now be reviewing the entries as well, simply so I can be properly informed.

[narrow cosmos]

[jagged ledge]

Worry not, while Buzz may struggle in theft, he is usually a talented writer. I trust his revisions, I simply need to process the Dexdoku data personally to have the entries on file.

[regal cedar]

"Interestingly, POKENAME's shell is not attached to its body and can be removed. However, the effects of unfusing POKENAME while the shell is not attacheds has not yet be studied in depth due to concerns over Lapras and Suicune's health."

This is similar to how Gigantamax Lapras's shell.

[hexed fog]

While Meowth was doing some work on the Magikarp Submarine I went through all of the entries.

[summer talon]

Oh wow, James. Where's Jessie?

[ebon warren]

Probably off terrorizing small children by looking at them

[summer talon]

Oh great, it's Bob

[narrow cosmos]

Oh nice, all the recent entries got approved.

My numbers and power grows.

[craggy beacon]

ha, nice pfp

[timid sky]

@jagged ledge Dexdoku Klinklang/Fire:
Due to its large size, POKENAME requires an extremely large amount of coal to be able to move. The many spinning gears inside of POKENAME's body allow it to generate electricity, which it uses to attack its opponents.

[narrow cosmos]

I just saw the announcement, our job is going to get even more massive in the future.

(I'm guessing since both will have the same Pokedexes they'll share dex entries across the board so at least all the stuff we've done should hopefully stick around and easily transfer into the other.)

[terse tide]

Shoot I forgot to fix the spacing for the 387.314.png in the google form

[terse tide]

Thank you 😄

[hollow tapir]

Okay that pfp made me chuckle

I also somehow didn’t think of people doing the entries manually, thank yall

[ebon warren]

Come again?

[hollow tapir]

I didn’t think about people having to write the fusion entries

My braincells weren’t braining

[ebon warren]

Ah, yes, I'm familiar. (I have to work with @red mesa and @hexed fog after all )
But no worries.
Something else to keep in mind (that I was told by one of the Unowns I know) is that each fusion can have multiple sprites and each sprite needs a custom entry. So it's even more massive in scope

[hollow tapir]

OH I didn’t think about that either

[small nest]

My calculations reveal that far less than 20% of sprites currently have entries. Your task will continue into the foreseeable future.

[hollow tapir]

I’m ngl I’m not caught up on the anime and idk who butch is in the context of it. Autocorrect wrote bitch which I think is hilarious

[hexed fog]

I agree with Biff on this.

[ebon warren]

https://tenor.com/view/the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-tfatws-marvel-mcu-disney-gif-22174173

[small nest]

Oh?... I believe "LORD JOOSTMEISTER" would like me to correct my last sentence to "our task." However, it's a little difficult to hear him through the gag.

[ebon warren]

Did you also factor in all the recently-announced additions from Hoenn? It will dramatically increase the amount of incomplete entries

[ebon warren]

Not the first time, won't be the last

[hollow tapir]

To which part? Pfff

[ebon warren]

Exactly

[narrow cosmos]

(I'm glad Spheal line is getting in, a friend of mine will be happy to hear that. And probably want me to make sure I write plenty of entries for them. )

[hollow tapir]

Also my brain just realized with the r your name can just be read as butcher

[hollow tapir]

Spheal is one of the best round bois. Not counting rowlet

[ebon warren]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-cat-creepy-cat-creepy-smile-cat-creepy-cute-cat-gif-23315649

[wary scarab]

That is certainly an interesting gif...

[hollow tapir]

Also gotta say. Anyone who does mimikyu, I appreciate you. My child is beloved

[small nest]

20643 custom entries currently exist in my data banks. Out of the 251001 fusions theoretically possible, 135687 have been documented. This gives an upper bound of 15.2% completion, but since some fusions have multiple sprites already, the actual percentage is marginally lower.

[wary scarab]

Merely sounds to me like more research opportunities to be had.

[ebon warren]

But I believe that ~65 new Pokémon will be added soon from Hoenn, which exponentially increases the potential fusions, none of which will have entries yet

[hollow tapir]

Maybe you’re not manifesting the entries hard enough /silly

[narrow cosmos]

I think I've done a couple, Mimikyu's an interesting one to try on both ends of a fusion's combination order.

Mostly remember getting help doing Absol/Mimikyu fusions a while back.

[hollow tapir]

Mimikyu is just my child and I adore most (if not all) of the fusions I’ve seen so far

I might (when I get that far) do Mimi and uh. The cute Dino fossil one amaura?

[small nest]

Once we factor in fusions that are currently possible but lack sprites, the dex completion percentage drops to 8.2%. If we then add the recently announced Pokémon, 20643 out of 319225 results in a completion percentage of 6.5% - and that number is still overstated due to alternate sprites.

[sudden oasis]

Dang

[ebon warren]

And also custom base sprites as well

[small nest]

There is much research yet to be done. I am almost tempted to remain after my objective is completed, but I must not let Sada retain complete control of the time machine.

[hollow tapir]

Custom base sprites are so cute usually

Turo I appreciate you for doing the science for us. I lack the energy to do the math for it

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME goes around dark alleyways and offers passersby its custom-made keys...for a price. The price is to be its friend and play with it for an hour per key.

How's that for a Mimikyu, @hollow tapir

:p

[hollow tapir]

What fusion is that with??? I love him so much

He’s showing me his wares

[ebon warren]

It may be possible to send data back in time/forward in time, even if you were gone, both of you actually. Something to consider.

[narrow cosmos]

That's him with Klefki.

[hollow tapir]

I adore it, 10/10

Imagine if it made Mimi shaped keys

[hollow nimbus]

Is that not his name, though?

[ebon warren]

@hollow tapir click the links for these resources, I think you'll enjoy them

[hollow nimbus]

There, see? It says Botch.

[hollow tapir]

YESSSSS TIME TO SPEND AGES ON THIS

TY BUTCH

[ebon warren]

How do you have so much free time to troll your subordinates? Aren't you running a criminal enterprise AND currently attempting to escape containment?

[hollow tapir]

Working with turo and sada perhaps

That way you can troll AND do your stuff

[hollow nimbus]

I do not understand your use of the word 'troll'. However, yes, I am extremely busy.

[ebon warren]

One of the many perks you'll receive by going Rainbow Rocket

[hollow nimbus]

Thank you for your understanding, Mutch. I will return to work as you handle these writers.

[hollow tapir]

I am cackling way too hard I’m choking on air

[hollow nimbus]

...What do you mean by escape containment?

[ebon warren]

Nothing

[golden pewter]

@hollow nimbus has awarded @ebon warren -5 grunt points!

[hollow tapir]

You can subtract points??

Reminder: do not piss off giovanni

[ebon warren]

Yes but only for Grunts. Which I am not

[hollow nimbus]

Of course. Disrespectful subordinates must be dealt with.

Loyal grunts are rewarded.

[small nest]

Error detected. I hypothesize that Giovanni is wasting time attempting to find the best Persian fusion rather than properly supervising his subordinates.

[hollow nimbus]

If you join Team Rainbow Rocket, you, too, can rise to power.

[hollow tapir]

Best Persian fusion? Honestly sounds about right tbh

But what IS the best fusion then?

[hollow nimbus]

I have no use for a Persian fusion with Mewtwo by my side.
If you must know, I am currently synthesizing information about Mewtwo found within this world.

[wary scarab]

A rare appear from the head! Good evening sir.

[ebon warren]

I think you could appreciate some
#sprite-gallery message

[hollow nimbus]

Good evening. I was just leaving oversight of this area to Butsh before departing.

[hollow tapir]

Mewtwo and not just mew?

[ebon warren]

#sprite-gallery message

[hollow nimbus]

Make no mistake. Every grunt that submits a fusion to the #sprite-gallery which contains a Meowth, Persian, Mewtwo, Mew, Nidoqueen or Nidoking line-Pokémon, Legendary Bird, Rhyperior line-Pokémon, Diglett, Dugtrio, Tauros, Gengar line-Pokémon, or Pikachu will receive additional points from me.

However, I do not need to spend my own time personally seeking such fusions.

[hollow tapir]

I just like mew, a cute lil guy. Mewtwo is less fun for that reason

[hollow nimbus]

Yes, Mewtwo is entirely devoid of fun for those who cross me.

[hollow tapir]

Ya know what? I didn’t think of that, that’s fair

[narrow cosmos]

I just joined for fun, plus Rocket resources make it a little easier to find certain specimens to document.

[ebon warren]

Team Rainbow Rocket also appreciates Pokémon with mysterious backgrounds and potentially dark and scary powers, @hollow tapir, and Mimikyu fits both categories perfectly. You'd have quite a bit more freedom, and potentially a budget, to explore and document everything there is to know about the adorable little monster.

[ebon warren]

I'd recommend your Mewtwo know Psystrike, Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere, and Recover.
Maximum efficiency.

[hollow tapir]

Don’t tempt me, I appreciate mimikyu because it wants to be my friend, although it’s power is certainly a plus

[ebon warren]

It can be very powerful in the right hands

[small nest]

Good evening, authors. I have located a promising fusion. Composed of Klinklang and Volcarona, this fusion resembles a more primitive versi■n of the future Pokémon Iron Moth.
As before, I require data on its habits and combat aptitude. Grunt points will be awarded to all who provide me with a Pokédex entry.

[terse tide]

Noooo I just saw this

[ebon warren]

I've only heard rumors of Iron Moth. Tell me more

[hollow tapir]

OOOOH that fusion is so cool

Is there one that looks similar to slither wing? Cause that’s one of my personal favs

[terse tide]

Give me a minute but that’s sick looking fusion

[wary scarab]

Fueled by superheated steam and intricate gearwork, POKENAME is capable of powering entire factory towns. When its pressure builds too high, it releases bursts of flame from vents within its chest capable of melting steel.

Perhaps something like this?

[narrow cosmos]

The colored orbs indicate POKENAME's disposition, glowing red when it becomes aggressive. In combat, fire bursts from every one of its vents, coating its body and wings in roiling flames.

[terse tide]

This one was a little bit hard professor but I gave it a go.

"The wings on a POKENAME form a massive, ever-shifting face, designed to intimidate foes with its looming presence. The sound they make is deafening as they grind through the air, overwhelming all nearby with a constant, unsettling screech."

[small nest]

Well done. A coherent and interesting entry.

[small nest]

Very good. This data is invaluable.

[small nest]

Well spotted. I had not detected that the wings resemble a face.

I have submitted the following Magnemite fusion entries to assist in our endeavors

81.4.png The lead-like substance that covers POKENAME's body is hot to the touch. It radiates faint heat even while hovering in the air, and its torso glows when angry. 81.101.png POKENAME rolls its silver-plated body along powerlines, feeding on static and current. The more it eats, the faster it becomes. 81.239.png Its tungsten-plated body crackles with a constant electric charge. POKENAME can overload machines just by brushing against them. 81.22.png The thin aluminum feathers on POKENAME's wings spark as it glides. It uses static to disorient prey midair before striking. 81.207.png When hungry, POKENAME's magnetic field weakens. It glides atop powerlines, absorbing electricity to recharge and restore its levitation. 81.42.png As it flies, POKENAME emits a magnetic pulse that helps it locate Steel-type Pokémon like Aron. It swoops silently through old quarries to hunt. 81.75.png POKENAME's body is encased in thick iron ore. It levitates using violent magnetic bursts, often leaving shattered rocks in its wake.

[hollow tapir]

Oh god the top part of the wings look like eyes

Also magnemite fusion lore let’s go

[terse tide]

Oh @hexed fog is .izik? Took me way to long to realize.

[hexed fog]

.izik? Sounds like someone who does not collect bottlecaps. Shameful.

[hollow tapir]

His banner is his reaction to you learning that info

I do like the image of magnemite (albeit fused) when angry, just burning up. Magnemite is such a lil guy it’s funny to picture

[terse tide]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-magnemite-freakout-gif-27486565

He is the best little guy

[hollow tapir]

My brother has a magnemite plush named sparky

[hexed fog]

I knew a twerp once with a Pikachu named Sparky.

[hollow tapir]

Did you like that twerp?

[hexed fog]

Never! He got in the way of our plans!

[hollow tapir]

Awww

But magnemite is fren

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Squirtle

POKENAME are very playful and are usually found in large groups. One of their favourite games involves jumping as high as they can out of the water, then tucking into their shell to create the biggest splash.

Wooper/Wartortle

POKENAME have lost all the playfulness they exhibited as a Wootle. They now spend their time hunting alone and preening but still get lonely if they are away from others for too long.

Wooper/Blastoise

POKENAME often fight each other for fun using the water cannons on their back. They are fierce protectors of Wootle and Wootortle, ready to lay their life down to protect the group.

[feral scarab]

Alakazam/Chandelure

POKENAME can recall the knowledge it had in both life and afterlife. It has been spotted at funerals where it absorbs the knowledge of a person's life, and leaves a candle at graves it deems especially interesting.

[hollow nimbus]

This fusion can 'recall the knowledge it had in afterlife'?

Is this Pokémon undead?

[feral scarab]

It is Ghost type, and other iterations of Ghost types refer to their existence as "afterlives"

[hollow nimbus]

You seem to be mistaken. Most Ghost-type Pokémon merely have ghost-like characteristics.

If the Pokémon has died, I would like it to be clear to the Trainer so they do not waste their money on food.

[feral scarab]

I see. I can adjust it to just it being it's normal life then.

[hollow nimbus]

There is no problem with the Pokémon being undead as long as you establish that fact clearly.

Beyond that, I see that there are certain rules that members of this world must follow in order to control reality.

According to these rules, afterlife is a countable noun and therefore requires an article. Additionally, your second sentence must remove the comma to make it into a complex sentence or add a subject to the last clause to create a compound sentence.

[hollow tapir]

I read all of these and I wanna say. Poor little guy getting insecure but I’m glad that he grows up and protects the lil ones

[drowsy linden]

Sneabird - Sneasel/Delibird
POKENAME will seek out unprotected pokémon nests and steal their eggs, which it stores in its sack like tail. POKENAME have also been known to steal valuable objects from unsuspecting hikers.

[small nest]

Reminder: Pokémon is always capitalized. In addition, sack-like should use a hyphen between the two words.
Aside from these minor points, this is excellent data.

[drowsy linden]

okay i wasnt sure about hyphenation, i googled and it said no. also i did capitalize Pokemon in the submission ^^'

[timid sky]

@jagged ledge dexdoku Helix fossil/Fire:
POKENAME uses its tentacles to capture its prey and then drains their soul. The more souls it has drained, the more bubbles are released from the shells on its head and arms.

[hollow tapir]

Okay wait those last two entries are not only cool but so cute

[drowsy linden]

Tortrum - Torterra/Tyrantrum
POKENAME will lay down and disguise itself as foliage when hunting it's prey. Ancient people feared to set foot in the forests it dwelled.

Scepardos - Sceptile/Rampardos
POKENAME will use its many brightly coloured feathers to confuse and disorient its target. Ancient people would use POKENAME's feathers in ceremonial clothing.

[terse tide]

Thats a good one!

[terse tide]

(Oh wait you should change "it's" to "it is" since you cant have apostrophes)

[drowsy linden]

if i cant use apostrophes, ill just make it "its"

[terse tide]

Oh yeah you're right!

[urban drum]

Skitty/Castform (525.552) -
While POKENAME is capable of flight, it prefers to stay grounded so that it can enjoy being pet by passing trainers. This Pokémon has poor survival instincts.

Skitty/Luvdisc (525.501) -
A wild POKENAME is rather playful. The legs are merely vestigial, being said to have come from a time when this Pokémon walked on land.

[alpine gorge]

260.110 - POKENAME subsists off of berries that fall from trees. Unfortunately, its heads have different tastes, and will often move in conflicting directions.
411.153 - Fusion has grafted the mask of a Yamask to its face, sealing away its latent powers. The buds sprouting from its neck smell of long-forgotten aromatics.
234.72 - Galloping on its many legs, POKENAME hunts with both the illusions conjured by its orbs and the toxins in its hooves. When dried and powdered, its antlers are worth a fortune.
205.302 - POKENAME's aggression and paranoia have risen sharply since fusing. When provoked, it lashes the barnacle-like protrusions on its tentacles at speeds of over 50 kilometers per hour.
202.178 - In fusing with a Xatu, the tail of Wobbuffet asserts itself as the new master of its body, puppeteering it around with grace. POKENAME's shadow always strikes before its host does.
443.417 - POKENAME will often shed the clouds on their wings when landing, using them as a distraction to throw off the eyes of predators.

six entries submitted

all for the glory of our organization

[rugged socket]

Wooper/Caterpie
The antennae on top of a POKENAME’s head secrete a liquid that they cover themselves in. This liquid is foul-smelling and designed to repel predators. Unfortunately, most predators don’t mind the smell and has led to overhunting.

[narrow cosmos]

Oh neat, people are already diving into sprites and dex entries for the upcoming Hoenn update

[stuck shoal]

Thanks to a combo of thin, specialized fur and a low body mass, POKENAME can catch gusts of wind to float in the air. Researchers have found POKENAME flying above hikers in the mountains, watching them from a distance.

[dull folio]

Would love any feedback, not posted an entry in a while so getting back into things lol

POKENAME avoids violence by reflecting light into a dazzling prismatic display using its scything blades - briefly blinding those who see it. These blades are made of the same mesmerising material as heart scales.

[dense meteor]

https://www.fusiondex.org/195.380/

POKENAME has been known to make an imposing entrance, its towering form emerging from impossibly shallow puddles of swamp muck. After this, it bumbles around with no apparent goal.

[regal cedar]

Ooh, I totally forgot Regigigas canonically has the legend about itself written on its body when it is in its dormant state in DPPT/BDSP.

[urban drum]

By the way, did I use correct punctuation on Pokémon on these two?

[terse tide]

I'd say so
