[wraith bison]

I wanna suggest the entry to the maker to post with the sprite

Thus asking

Plus it doubles as practice

[rich goblet]

Oh! In that case...

I think it hits on FAQ-9 becasue it refers to one POKENAME rather than as a species

[vivid spire]

Random idea for Glaceplume:

#272.45: Native to frozen mountain peaks, POKENAME disguises its pollen as snowflakes. If ingested, it makes the Trainer or Pokémon feel numb, before fainting them. Friendly by natures it runs to downed creatures, healing them with its nectar.

[rich goblet]

I'm a little confused, its pollen is disguised to be ingested, then it heals them with its nectar? Does it do this to seem like a nice pokemon?

[vivid spire]

Fair point, how about an EIDIT!

Native to frozen mountain peaks, POKENAME's pollen appears as snowflakes. If ingested, it makes the Trainer or Pokémon feel numb, before fainting them. Friendly by natures it runs to downed creatures, healing them with its nectar.

[hollow nimbus]

The first clause you have there is an adjectival clause, which is a phrase that acts as a descriptor for the subject. You can't start sentences with adjectival clauses.

[rich goblet]

I still think its a little off, maybe you could say like, "It feels bad for hurting others, so it heals them with its nectar"

I think a Pokemon would know that its pollen hurts others

Hi RealThree! 😄

[hollow nimbus]

The easiest way to fix that is to add a predicate like a verb

"Because it is native to frozen mountain peaks" or something like that
Then you have 'it is' acting as the action, and 'because' making it into a dependent clause

Hi 👋

[vivid spire]

What if I combined the first and second sentence?

[hollow nimbus]

Show me what you have in mind

I can't say for certain whether you've done it right until you've done it XD

[vivid spire]

Native to frozen mountain peaks, POKENAME's pollen appears as snowflakes, which if ingested make Trainers or Pokémon feel numb, before fainting them.

[hollow nimbus]

Well, a few points

One, you're still starting a sentence with an adjectival clause

[vivid spire]

Maybe if I cut the first phrase….

[hollow nimbus]

'native to frozen mountain peaks' is an attribute of the subject with no actions in the clause

You just have to add a predicate

Next, the phrase which if ingested needs to have a comma before and after if ingested:
appears as snowflakes, which, if ingested, make Trainers

Lastly, you don't need a comma before before fainting them

So, all together, my suggested edits are this:

POKENAME is native to frozen mountain peaks, and its pollen appears as snowflakes, which, if ingested, make Trainers or Pokémon feel numb before fainting them.

Even after that, there's a few tweaks that could be made

First of all, I think the entry was better as two separate sentences. Splitting different thoughts into separate sentences helps to guide the reader along your train of thought

Next, make Trainers or Pokémon feel numb before fainting them seems a bit off, intuitively.
Perhaps it's because 'make' and 'fainting' are slightly different tenses, or maybe it's because it contains feel numb before fainting them, making it sound like the victims are causing something else to faint.

Changing it to makes Trainers or Pokémon feel numb before they faint can solve that issue.

(Additionally, I would have to check the definition of the word, but I have a suspicion that using 'fainting' as something that can be done to someone instead of something that one experiences is a Pokémon-fan-use of the word, and the typical way to say it would be 'causing to faint' or similar.)

[vivid spire]

Had it all edited and then my phone deleted it. Rewritten with your suggestions so far:

POKENAME is native to frozen mountain peaks and its pollen appears as snowflakes. When ingested it makes Trainers or Pokémon feel numb before they faint. Friendly by nature it runs to downed creatures, healing them with its nectar.

Maybe add “the” in front of “downed creatures”?

[hollow nimbus]

You only need to add 'the' if you want to specify that it runs over to those specific creatures instead of any downed creatures. It depends on your vision.
Other than that, you are missing three commas

POKENAME is native to frozen mountain peaks**,** and its pollen appears as snowflakes. When ingested**,** it makes Trainers or Pokémon feel numb before they faint. Friendly by nature**,** it runs to downed creatures, healing them with its nectar.

However, your last sentence is also starting with an adjectival clause. Take a note from your first sentence, where you added a subject (POKENAME) and a predicate (is) to make it into an independent clause.

[vivid spire]

Okay I changed the last sentence a bit because of the clunky dialog I used earlier:

POKENAME is native to frozen mountain peaks, and its pollen appears as snowflakes. When ingested, it makes Trainers or Pokémon feel numb before they faint. They feel bad poisoning passersby, and run to the downed creatures healing them with their nectar.

[hollow nimbus]

Since the last sentence now lacks a subject in the second clause, the comma is not needed.
I would add about before poisoning passersby so it doesn't seem like they are reaching out to feel passersby that are bad and poisoning (Which is how I accidentally read it the first time)

The comma would go after downed creatures, though

They feel bad about poisoning passersby and run to the downed creatures, healing them with their nectar.

[vivid spire]

POKENAME is native to frozen mountain peaks, and its pollen appears as snowflakes. When ingested, it makes Trainers or Pokémon feel numb before they faint. They feel bad about poisoning passersby and run to the downed creatures, healing them with their nectar.

[hollow nimbus]

Okay, just one more nitpick and then you should be done

Just saying When ingested without specifying the subject means that the subject is still what was the subject in the last sentence. The last sentence's subject was 'POKENAME', so you are accidentally saying that ingesting the fusion causes numbness.

If you change it to When this pollen is ingested, you will have changed the subject

[hollow nimbus]

||I think this is the error that I have to fix most often in Izik's entries ||

[vivid spire]

Thank you for taking me through step by step, here is the final draft and glad I’m not the only one to have this issue

POKENAME is native to frozen mountain peaks, and its pollen appears as snowflakes. When this pollen is ingested, it makes Trainers or Pokémon feel numb before they faint. They feel bad about poisoning passersby and run to the downed creatures, healing them with their nectar.

[hollow nimbus]

Looks good

I hope you learned a bit about grammar
My greatest wish with this is for people to learn from their mistakes so their abilities can grow

It gets easier

[vivid spire]

Now for something different, Empoqueen:

#324.31: Referred to as the Empress of the Waves, POKENAME's wake is sought out by Surfers due to their size. When an Electric type attempts to battle, it burrows to the sea floor causing whirlpools to pull the foe down.

Hopefully I avoided the pitfalls of my last entry

[median canopy]

Milotic/Misdreavus #335.200
"POKENAME sits at the bottom of deep lakes and sings enchantingly. People and Pokémon alike have been hypnotized into drowning from following after it's music."

I feel like my phrasing might be a bit awkward here so very open to critique

[rich goblet]

Personally would change the first sentence a bit

POKENAME sits at the bottom of deep lakes and sings enchanting songs

I'm not sure if enchantingly is a word but if it is, it is a mouthful

[median canopy]

much obliged

[vivid spire]

It is and also it is

Another entry, Empokahn:

#324.115: POKENAME is a tremendous cook, and in the wild searches for the freshest seaside ingredients to feed its young. When its chick is threatened, it breaks the foe with high pressure Hydro Pumps.

It looks so happy!

[median canopy]

i love that one lol

[rich goblet]

#413.199 POKENAME have a sharp crown that is covered with sharp thorns. These thorns dig into its skull, and the resulting pain enhances its psychic power.

[storm light]

#39.466
The beautiful songs POKENAME sings are able to put any who hear them into a restful sleep. Melodies recorded from them are sold all over the world as sleep aids.

[hexed fog]

gimme 10 pokemon that are used in savoury dishes

[vivid spire]

You know I can’t say no to a challenge. PARAKARP:

#37.129 Parakarp: Considered by many as a rare Johto delicacy, POKENAME's meat when filleted is pre-seasoned by its internal spores. Unfortunately for the Chefs, their bite is paralytic in nature, allowing the to Splash back into the rivers they call home.

[rich goblet]

80.224

POKENAME have edible tentacles that grow back over time, which is harvested every year during the autumn season. It is mixed into balls of batter to form Takoyaki, which are sold during autumn festivals.

[vivid spire]

Fish not your thing? HOW ABOUT A SANDROS?!?

#27.128: Some say the tougher POKENAME's hide, the sweeter their meat. Kept in herds on the open ranges of Unova, they burrow into the dust to stay cool during the summer.

[vivid spire]

What’s that you say, you don’t want a dinner item? How about a Dugchic breakfast:

#51.279: Known to lay unfertilized eggs daily, POKENAME are kept in self-sufficient flocks. When threats appear, they burrow under the earth, popping up at set distances to spit embers to protect their young.

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/119.98/

POKENAME are baked to bring out the juicy oils that are stored in its body. It is usually served with a side of rice and a few slices of citrus to balance the natural salt content of the dish.

Oh dang, I submitted it with a mistake, shoot

Ah that’s what I get for trying to do it from my phone

https://www.fusiondex.org/203.128/

POKENAME are raised by ranchers in large fields of grass. Its juicy, tender meat is made into various cuts that resemble beef, where it is grilled and served at restaurants.

[vivid spire]

Might be a bit incomplete, BUT EVERY DISH should be seasoned by Gloora:

#44.63: Although POKENAME never seems to be awake, it moves more in its sleep during the day. Many dishes are flavored with their harvested drool adding a salty sweet taste.

[vivid spire]

What’s that, you’re vegetarian, you say? GUESS YOU CAN HAVE GEOMITE SALT:

#74.81: Deep in Kanto mines, POKENAME resides using its magnetism to dig out ore, and revealing salt. Many restaurants buy this savory seasoning at a high price.

[vivid spire]

What these options AREN’T savory enough?!? Then let’s get to deep frying!

#443.27 Altashrew: Surrounded in fluffy durable clouds, POKENAME rolls up in a ball to stop floating in the air. Trainers are encouraged to shear this fluff, which makes great breading when deep fried.

[hexed fog]

Loooool yesss

[vivid spire]

Now you might be saying, Ghost Slythe have you gone off your rocker? Perhaps, but I’ll finish this with dessert!

#491.167 Swirak: Popular Pokémon at fair booths, POKENAME's silk is sweet in nature and bundled up as cotton candy. They often have to fight off Flying types that try to steal children's candy.

Also, side note, these entries have managed to make me hungry

[rich goblet]

@vivid spire You’re on a roll there, you might even get more entries than me at some point

[vivid spire]

At some point, perhaps, but if you keep going at the clip you do, you could very well keep ahead!

[rich goblet]

I’m just happy the dex is slowly getting filled

[vivid spire]

Me too! I love these prompts, because they really make me think, “which Pokémon would do this?”

[rich goblet]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6aTkeUT/

We should make an entry about this but I can’t find a pokemon that I think would work

[vivid spire]

I definitely will think on this one…. Maybe it could be a behavior of a Krabby fusion on Tentacool?

Also, non food related idea, Vulmantis:

#37.476: Hatched among Vulpix herds, POKENAME blends in with its adoptive family, even learning to control fire. When near rivers, its facade drops as it actively hunts for Water type prey.

[rich goblet]

Maybe, I was thinking of one like, tentacool carrying another pokemon, but I gotta go for now. Bbl

[dense anvil]

i really love the idea of a fusion blending in with one of its parts :O

[obsidian steppe]

Chandelure/Gardevoir (367.287)
Using its psychic powers, POKENAME creates fake mansions to lure in lost travelers. Once they enter, POKENAME traps their souls within torch flames so that it will never be lonely.

Dunsparce/Dragonite (206.149)
POKENAME live in massive underground caverns dug out over hundreds of years. It's rarely seen by humans, but will appear in moments of need to rescue cavers from their untimely demise.

[obsidian steppe]

Aurorus/Noivern (462.441)
POKENAME lives atop the highest peaks, summoning a veil of blizzards to surround its home. Its mighty roar can freeze intruders, launching them off the mountain in an instant.

[storm light]

feels like it needs something to pad but not sure what to put
#105.465
POKENAME uses the bones of fallen foes as armor to protect its weak points. Each piece is treasured and will only be replaced if broken beyond repair.

[vivid spire]

Hmmm it does feel somewhat incomplete.

What if it added something to the bones like Scrimshaw? Or maybe something about using its favorite trophy bone as a weapon?

[obsidian steppe]

Absol/Meloetta (Pirouette) (310.467)
POKENAME appears to people nearing their end, because of this many treat it as a bringer of death. In truth, POKENAME’s song comforts those on their deathbed, protecting them from ghost Pokémon and leading their spirit safely to the afterlife.

[vivid spire]

Really good entry, two grammar nitpicks. First you don’t need the comma after “because of this”. And the … should be just a singular period. Otherwise I think its solid

[dreamy crater]

It might just be me, but "because of this" sounds wrong in the sentence. Putting "so" in its place sounds more correct to me, but I'm not completely sure.

[wraith bison]

For this sprite it shld be fine to share

Cuz it's in the gallary

It's sceptile/slacking

POKENAME are viciously strong creatures. They used to be extremely slothful but have overcome their nature via the power of photosynthesis, but due to relying upon the sun for energy they lay dormant throughout the night.

[rugged socket]

Fine to write an entry for, but you won't be able to submit it until it gets added to the game, which will be in about 2 months

[wraith bison]

Practice but thx

[rugged socket]

Farfetch’d/Wooper

The appendeges on its face are designed to look like plant stems. POKENAME buries itself in mud, with one of them sticking out, waiting for another Pokémon to graze on it. It contains a toxin that makes the Pokémon throw up, which POKENAME feeds on.

Is this too gross?

[scenic badge]

a bit

[vivid spire]

It would go against a FAQ (can’t remember which ATM), but what could work instead is if it attracted a certain type of Pokémon (Bug types?) and they non graphically fed on the poisoned ones

Or like Piranhas, they swarmed the poisoned one

[rugged socket]

Yeah I changed it quite a bit, thanks:)

[vivid spire]

Not so early in the morning, idea for Arcarantis:

#59.477: Many claim POKENAME is from Sinnoh's Distortion World, using its fast speed to jump between the sky islands. What has been observed is it changes its flame colors to attract Flying and Bug types to devour.

Perhaps the flaming Mantis is not your style, in that case how about a ground gator? Sandieon:

#409.134: The bane of Swimmers, POKENAME blends perfectly with the mud and silt at the bottom of lakes. It lies motionless until anything blocks the sunlight, causing it to explode to the surface and bite with enough force to bend steel.

[vivid spire]

NGL I see Nidotile and immediately am transported to Jurassic Park:

POKENAME are pack hunters, as they always hunt prey in groups of four. They take turns in specialized roles to distract prey before they all strike with razor-sharp, venomous claws.

And then there’s this cute bumblebee lookalike, Beeorb:

#15.100: Even though aerodynamically questionable, POKENAME is said to zip through the air faster than static. When it lands, Trainers mistake it for an Ultraball, and suffer an explosive surprise.

[rich goblet]

The grammar on this one needs a bit of work

Suggested edits made below:
POKENAME are pack hunters, as they always hunt prey in groups of four. They take turns in specialized roles to distract prey before they all strike with razor-sharp, venomous claws.

[vivid spire]

Agreed, I will use the suggested edit

[regal cedar]

I forgot Relicanth just....walks. Or, feels, anyways. "walks on the seafloor with its pectoral fins".

[rich goblet]

I forgot too, like what do you mean a fish walks

[rich goblet]

I need some inspiration

I might just pick a random youtube video and see how I feel afterwards

[regal cedar]

I'm not the DexDoku guy, but I've had this chart whipped up for a long time.

Try and fill this out!

[rich goblet]

Okidoki

[rich goblet]

Is that route 1 or route 29, just wondering

[regal cedar]

either or

[rich goblet]

Okidoki, not sure if you had a preference

[rich goblet]

@regal cedar Your grid was fun, I'll be submitting these shortly 😄

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o9zH3mIoi9CLJIqAIiJBUxZ3I9FOi1qErUa-IESqhbQ/edit?usp=sharing

After lunch of course

[regal cedar]

Mhm! The idea in my mind was "what pokémon would someone have on their team"

[chrome bane]

The character-limit is 250, right?

[regal cedar]

Yes, that's our hard limit.

[regal cedar]

Don't forget to capitalize Trainers in 7.41!

I would alter 8.172 to say "After this happens" or "If this happens", personally.

You should format 7.17 as "Bug-type".

[rich goblet]

I submit them a while ago! You’ll need to fix them for me if you don’t reject them

Thanks for the feedback though, always appreciate it

[chrome bane]

How's this for an entry?

I juat finished an Infernape/Granbull and I want to attatch a dex entry to my sprite entry:
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1404556280034754640

POKENAME takes great pride in defending its honor and the honor of its Trainer. If it feels offended, its crown of flames erupts into a raging firestorm and POKENAME lashes out in a blazing-fast fury.

[vivid spire]

It is a solid entry, the only change I would suggest is dropping the second POKENAME and changing it to a “it”

Saves on characters and people will know what you’re referring to

[chrome bane]

I originally wrote it like that, but I was worried it sounded like the "it" was referring to the previously mentioned "crown of flames"

[vivid spire]

You could add “and then it” so it refers back to the fusion instead

[chrome bane]

Thats great. Ill do that

Any other suggestions/feedback before i post the final version alongside the sprite when I upload it to the Sprite Gallery?

[vivid spire]

No, I think its solid otherwise

[chrome bane]

Thanks!

[vivid spire]

Had a, dare I say, crazy idea for Charxorus that does NOT involve tusks:

#6.368: On moonlit nights, POKENAME cuts across the skies seeking any foolish enough to challenge it. When attacked, it dives using its diamond hard teeth to hold foes, then suplexes them hard enough to shatter stone.

[regal cedar]

horror film

[balmy knot]

Quick question; I'm working on my first ever custom dex entry, and I wondered how I should go about it when referencing other Pokemon? For example, if I'm referring to two Pokemon that are used to fuse into it, how would I say it when submitting? Is using another Pokemn's name even allowed?

I imagine it's alright, since "POKENAME" is what is used to call on the name in the custom entry?

[rich goblet]

I'm not sure what the official stance is, but my opinion is that referring to its composite Pokémon is boring because the player knows what fusion it is.

POKENAME is just a scripted way to refer to itself, and is prefered to typing out the name of the fusion since the tag makes sure its right

[balmy knot]

Okay, I'll edit it then! 🙂

[regal cedar]

POKENAME just automatically plugs in the Pokémon species of the fusion.

[rich goblet]

You can also just post your draft for advice Sprizzler! 🙂

[regal cedar]

If you're saying Machoke, type in Machoke.

If you mention Shellder in a Slowbro Fusion, mention Shellder, not POKENAME.

[balmy knot]

So this is again my first attempt ever, but I wondered if you think this fits?

"Covered in battle-forged scales, POKENAME lurks in deep riverbeds. Though feared for its appearance, it remains docile unless threatened."

[hexed fog]

Sounds good! Ty

[rich goblet]

No way that's your first time, that's pretty compelling!

Good job

[balmy knot]

Thank you! 😭 ❤️ I write stories as a side job lol

[hexed fog]

Ok guys! New assignment! 10 pokemon that collect mushrooms for a reason you decide

[rich goblet]

If you want more info on like what is and isn't allowed, you can check out the FAQ in this document. It also gives you access to tracking your dex entry

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOqitOP72D-s_es1-F7OzVPUkKJ3tytjfvhptx1KAK8/edit?resourcekey#gid=1870730174

[vivid spire]

Here we go on an adventure… its a bear, its a fox, NO ITS TEDDIRA:

#216.63: POKENAME has to prepare its body long hibernations by gathering mushrooms to eat. If threatened it lets out a howl, drawing Ursaring to its defense.

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/19.427

POKENAME lives in frigid climates that are extremely cold and low in moisture. It collects and stores mushrooms in its burrow, which it takes care of like trophies.

[vivid spire]

Chefs love Balm mushrooms you know, and they need a gathering buddy, Foiard!

#476.330: Used by Chefs on Balm Mushroom hunts in the woods, POKENAME communicates with the roots of plants. When it senses fungi nearby, it expertly harvests them with steely slashes.

[vivid spire]

But what, you might ask, eats fungus underground? None other than Gowile:

#76.300: While its secondary set of jaws sharpens its crystals mining ores, POKENAME's main body is forced to subsist on subterranean mushrooms. When threatened it allows hits to bounce off its rock armor before using a deadly Crunch.

Also Ngl, worried about the character limit for this one

[vivid spire]

Last one before I need to sleep for work, what if we had a Mushroom rancher? This would be his guard Panine:

#46.59: Used heavily by Ranchers to herd Paras, POKENAME is a watchful and gentle guard Pokémon. When given its favorite mushroom treat, it often sends out sparks of various colors to entertain children.

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/47.257/

POKENAME have a difficult time camouflaging into its habitat, so it collects and grows mushrooms to try to blend in. When it decides there are enough mushrooms, it will partially bury itself into the mushroom patch.

[balmy knot]

https://www.fusiondex.org/129.95/

POKENAME is often found along the riverbed, searching for food and shelter. Despite its size, it is considered a weak bottom-feeder.

[rich goblet]

Oh, by the way, if you check the pins there’s a bunch of tips and stuff. Going to sleep soon but I’ll be around and active so we will meet again

[balmy knot]

Thank you! I'm hoping to contribute as much as I can.

[storm light]

Looking through the fusiondex for sprites to write for and uh

#custom-dex-errors

[regal cedar]

already handled

[vivid spire]

Time for another Early morning with Ghost Slythe. This time I try another Haxorus fusion without mentioning the word “tusks”:

#31.368 Nidoxorus: Using the toxic barbs on the sides of their skulls, POKENAME can pierce through the thickest of hides. Intense territorial disputes between these Pokémon cause localized earthquakes, as each slams their opponent into a daze for a finishing barb strike.

[vivid spire]

What happens when a butterfly decides to become predatory? Butterzen:

#12.483: When POKENAME flaps their wings, fine scales fill the air surrounding them, causing a burning sensation on exposed skin. Natural Beedrill predators, they will hit a nest with their stick before cooking the inhabitants that pour out in a dizzying Fire Spin.

[vivid spire]

It’s time for the one I had the HARDEST TIME not making a joke entry, Maxen:

#67.483: It is said if POKENAME ever dropped the weight in its tail, it could run faster than Ponyta. However, it enjoys showing off its strength, holding the barbell in a loose grip while powering up its Flame Charge.

The puns write themselves, “Are you even Maxen?” “My gains are Maxen!”

[vivid spire]

Maybe half baked, here is my idea for Nidophox:

#31.484: POKENAME weaves toxic spells using a radioactive Moon Stone focus, that are sure to hit with its psychic powers. To avoid harming its Trainer, it encloses the radiation in a psychic field.

Now for one I’ve been struggling to work on, Buttertile:

#12.278: With its muted colors, POKENAME blends in with the jungle canopy, its wings serving as a warning to its strength. If a fight is not going its way, it severs its tail as a distraction which grows back within a few days.

[terse pawn]

504.502
POKENAME are omnivores that wander around restlessly to find anything they could eat by using their great sense of smell. They will chase anyone that carries food with them.

[regal cedar]

https://www.fusiondex.org/335.378/

Good morning! For today's warmup, please write an entry for this Pokémon.

For a bonus, try to incorporate "mist", "dew", or "fog" into the entry.

[vivid spire]

You know I can’t say no to a challenge:

#335.378 Milotias: In the early morning mist, many gather near the coasts of Hoenn to watch POKENAME's graceful aerobatics. It is said if any in the crowd think of catching them, they dive deep, psychically causing a tidal wave.

[terse pawn]

336.288b
POKENAME have the destructive power to shatter entire buildings with Dragon Claw. They have a code of honor like knights and try to hold back their ferocious instincts.

[terse pawn]

255.377
The smaller heads of POKENAME are used to chant incantations for the larger middle head to unleash their attacks. Researchers have discovered that only the smaller heads have brains and that they control the central head.

[tall tree]

POKENAME swims below the surface in the deepest parts of the ocean, when it comes up for air, it is surrounded by a cloud of fog. This makes it troublesome for sailers.

[regal cedar]

sailors!

[vivid spire]

I love it, just one spelling nitpick: Sailors

[vivid spire]

JYNX!

[tall tree]

Sorry I’m running on an hour of sleep, words aren’t words anymore

[vivid spire]

Understandable, but considering your exhaustion still a solid warmup entry

[tall tree]

Thank you 😅 little embarrassed that I somehow managed to misspell sailors in my sleep deprived state.

[vivid spire]

No need to be embarrassed, sleep deprivation is the worst! (Coming from a dad of 3)

[rich goblet]

POKENAME form a fog that obscures their presence, are drawn to the elderly when they visit lakes. They help the elderly relive memories using their psychic powers, restoring a sense of nostalgia for a moment.

Anyone have any feedback on this one? I like it enough I want to send it in.

[rich goblet]

@regal cedar What do you think? :3

[regal cedar]

"When it comes up for air, it is surrounded by a cloud of fog." should be its own sentence, so put a period before it, too. And sailors needs fixing, yeah

[rich goblet]

I think I'll just submit it, let the Unowns fix it post submission

[narrow cosmos]

I send so many off just firing them willy-nilly. If I think too hard about them I'll second-guess myself too much.

Otherwise this chat would be bombarded with a lot of entries once I get going.

[rich goblet]

Good point, I might just keep firing away

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME gnaws on wood pieces until they're worn down into the shape of an egg. It then nurtures and protects the wooden egg, in practice for one day nurturing the real deal.

[vivid spire]

I need to start just submitting, but usually wait 2 to 3 hours for feedback

[vivid spire]

I have an idea for that sprite but it’s not on Fusion dex

[shy portal]

i just made it hjfkgjlhk
ill post it to sprite gallery later

[vivid spire]

Excellent…. I don’t want to write for the current eldritch abomination

[shy portal]

[topaz stream]

guys can we still post dex entries along with sprites in the sprite gallery?

POKENAME fuse peridot shards into their chlorophyll-rich bodies, absorbing minerals from cave walls to fuel psychic power. They cling to ceilings and dance in eerie calm, releasing psionic pulses that scramble enemies' thoughts.

[topaz stream]

<@&1210701164426039366> I might have asked that question before but uh I forgor

[hexed fog]

please dont

it isnt working atm

[topaz stream]

oh ok ok

[hexed fog]

like itll eventually happen

but when that happens it could be literally months upon months from now and itll result in lots of dupes

[topaz stream]

I see, so do I have to re-send all the ones I posted there?

[topaz stream]

should I send the ones I have there through the form?

[hexed fog]

once theyre in the game yeah

[topaz stream]

alright

POKENAME is mostly docile by nature, but won't hesitate to come to the aid of smaller Pokémon being picked on. It fires scalding hot milk from its arms to burn and repel aggressors, before gently nursing the victims to health.

[cunning solar]

Hey, how do I find a Pokémon’s file name on fusiondex.org?

[timid sky]

The thing highlighted in yellow is the file name

[cunning solar]

Cool thanks

[indigo turtle]

Pumpkaboo: When a Pumpkaboo attempts to steal the soul of a Sableye, it becomes overwhelmed by the creature’s malevolent essence. Twisted from within, it becomes the host of a far darker spirit.

Gourgeist: It is said that each gem on its body indicates a soul harvested. The size of each gem depicts the strength of the damned.

[harsh ermine]

Hey, I'm wondering how to write a dex entry before submitting a sprite. I have one right here: #1404939311111078009 I'm pretty sure it's supposed to show a black box around the dex entry, but I don't know what symbol or command to use.

[indigo turtle]

The grave (`` `) sumbol

[harsh ermine]

Oh. I was using the apostrophe. '

[harsh ermine]

Thanks!

[indigo turtle]

Or you can select the text and select <>

[harsh ermine]

Okay. Thanks again!

[radiant hemlock]

It sounds like they're asking people to not do this right now, as they aren't being uploaded into the game correctly. Unless I'm misunderstanding @hexed fog ?

[hexed fog]

Please

Do not

It isnt working

It was announced too early

[harsh ermine]

Okay, nevermind then.

[indigo turtle]

Does this also apply to the google form, or can dex entries just simply not be submitted?

[topaz stream]

POKENAME tunnels to mountain peaks and waits for thunderstorms, using its spiraling horn as a lightning rod. Its rugged, spike-lined armor acts as a natural conductor, growing more charged with every thunderstrike.

Feedback?

[hexed fog]

you can only submit entries of sprites currently int he game via the form and it is functioning fine

[terse pawn]

Will keep that in mind.

[rich goblet]

I need like a weekly theme, I feel scatterbrained with my entries recently

I can’t wait for the dex entry event I’m so excited

[vivid spire]

I jokingly want to give you, “Fusions that steal bread”

[rich goblet]

I might do at least one after my shift!

[vivid spire]

Wouldn’t be fair to extend a challenge without doing one myself

I give you the master of mayhem, Onduck:

#95.55: POKENAME stands still in city parks, waiting for lone passing humans. Using Water Gun, it trips the loners up and then takes any bread on their person.

[violet ermine]

Minor punctuation thing, the second sentence could use a comma after “Water Gun” to separate the introductory phrase properly

Love the idea though, we could use some more devious goober-type entries

[vivid spire]

Yes we do need more of them!

And edited!

Had another kinda goofy idea for Ratvile:

#20.262: In the colder regions of Sinnoh, Trainers hold an annual POKENAME trap contest. These Pokémon are known to freeze through locks, easily stealing entire pantries of food, yet are cunning enough to notice and avoid traps.

[timid sky]

Trainers

[vivid spire]

Updated, any other thoughts? Feedback?

[rich goblet]

Nah it’s a solid dex entry

https://www.fusiondex.org/215.21/

POKENAME flock around bakeries in the hopes of getting a few pieces from customers that leave. In response, bakeries have a sign to discourage feeding wild Pokémon.

[vivid spire]

I love it; the only suggestion is replacing the second POKENAME with “the Flying types”

[rich goblet]

Will do

Actually, it doesn’t flow very well to me hm

Oh I got it

[vivid spire]

Perfect! I love it

[narrow cosmos]

POKENAME breaths fire onto its needles to coat them with flame, making its jabs more deadly. If truly enraged, it will fire flaming needles nonstop until it collapses from exhaustion.

[storm light]

perhaps change " breaths fire onto its needles to coat them with flame" to "coats its needles with fierce flames, making its jabs more deadly." ?

could also exchange more deadly for deadlier or more powerful

[round cave]

It's "breathes", not "breaths"

[rugged socket]

Hey guys, give me your favourite Pokémon, got something cooking up

[storm light]

Ninetales

[vivid spire]

Scyther

[vivid spire]

Had a CRAZY idea for Weavtales:

#262.38: Natural tricksters, POKENAME use bait and switch tactics, as a group they decide to stalk a single person. They then will pose as the same Pokémon, appearing wherever that Trainer goes, highlighting themselves in cold crimson flame. If discovered, they place a hex on the person.

[vivid spire]

On a Weavile kick this early morning, and saw this amazing Sprite for Exegguvile:

#103.262: Found on the shores of frozen over lakes, POKENAME stands out harshly against the wintery environment. It attracts Bug types that over-winter, wraps them in vines and devours them. However, they are completely docile to lost Trainers.

[vivid spire]

Weavile morning continues with probably one of my new favorite sprites, Scepvile:

#278.262: At home in humid Hoenn jungles, POKENAME flares its head crest to appear larger to foes and to cool off. When threatened, it runs fast enough to skim on top of water. If cornered, it shocks the enemy with an icy cold punch.

[rugged socket]

Maybe tweak to If threatened, it runs fast enough to skim on top of water. If cornered, it shocks the enemy with an icy cold punch.

[vivid spire]

Edited, decided to change the first if to a when

ANNNNDDD speaking of Weavile entries, time for the Fairy entry based more off mythology, Weavlia:

#262.286: It is said POKENAME host tea parties in forest clearings and any Trainer that speaks their name is bound to it. When battling it pulls the Scizor scythe from thin air, pirouetting gracefully through savage slashes.

[vivid spire]

Weavoir’s a sprite called to me:

#262.287a: Groups of POKENAME gather in the woods to dance and improve their future sight. Afterwards the Pokémon scatter, hunting lone prey and taking them down with vicious Bites.

[regal cedar]

Hello everyone. For today's warm-up, please write about the Rock/Water type Onduck, Onix/Psyduck.

https://www.fusiondex.org/95.54/

[hexed fog]

"oh lets take a break from spriting and look at some dex approvals" 344 to go through? sounds good

we need more

I'd love some entries about pokemon who help treasure hunters/pearl divers

[regal cedar]

makes me wonder if meowth/chinchou or evolved forms have entries

[rich goblet]

POKENAME gets headaches whenever it headbutts other Pokémon using its rock-solid head. It burrows through caves to find mineral water to cure its headache.

[regal cedar]

Hmm, mineral water is found at some springs, I don't think caves would help. Burrowing, presumably head-first, seems counterintuitive to a headache if it gets them via headbutting.

[rich goblet]

Good point, back to the drawing board.

[rich goblet]

POKENAME feeds off of large boulders, which it breaks down using its rock-solid headbutt. To cure its resulting headache, it wanders to the nearest spring to drink mineral water.

[terse pawn]

Hisuian zoroark
But if we're talking in I.F then it's Mimikyu

[terse pawn]

Ooooh

I gotchu

Legend says POKENAME will lead anyone who gives it a Black Pearl to great treasures and then rises to the afterlife

@hexed fog whatchu think

[regal cedar]

Let's follow proper English conventions. What does the last portion mean?

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/52.215/

POKENAME enjoys the thrill of hunting for treasure, and easily spots traps. It is a favorite among treasure hunters, who rely on its keen senses to avoid or disarm traps.

[hexed fog]

@rich goblet please remember to avoid using real animals in entries

instead of oysters- Shellder

[rich goblet]

I think this is the first time its happened, will do! 😄

[hexed fog]

the ingame dex has now been updated with all approved entries

please allow a couple days for the update to roll out, no updating of your game will happen as it is automatic

[radiant hemlock]

Chinitty 170.525.png: Although typically found near the ocean floor, POKENAME is a valuable companion for pearl divers. It uses the flashing bulb on its tail to light the diver's way, allowing them to search in deeper waters.

Cofaitty 362.525.png: POKENAME pilfers ancient tombs in search of artifacts to add to its collection of toys. It will lead treasure hunters to gold as long as it is promised a portion of the spoils in return.

Dhelitty 453.525.png: POKENAME are born from the debris of sunken ships, and will always remember the exact location of their shipwreck. Although it's difficult to gain its trust, treasure seekers will be rewarded handsomely for doing so.

Couldn't pick one so I tried three lol

[vivid spire]

I can’t say no to a challenge, EVEN ON A BUSY WORK DAY! Clefxen is looking for a party:

#36.483: In the wild POKENAME act like mercenaries, joining Treasure Hunters especially on their adventures. Using their fairy-like agility, they easily defeat traps, then use their wand to disable them with flames. At the end of the adventure, they take their fair share, violently if necessary.

[rugged socket]

Any more favourite Pokémon?

[timid sky]

Save some for the dex entry contest

[rugged socket]

I'm making a new unofficial event

Want more people to join haha so tryna bribe them with their fave mon

[vivid spire]

Holy cow, didn’t have time to read the other entries, and Duck we were on the same wavelength

[scenic badge]

oh it seems like no one of the dex entries I submited in sprite gallery got in

[rugged socket]

Yeah don't worry, I think it's way behind. I believe they may get added eventually, but you can submit them in the Google Form if you want them in sooner

[scenic badge]

oh I see

thank you

[vivid spire]

@hexed fog has said that feature was announced prematurely. As @rugged socket stated they will be put in eventually, but if you want to see them sooner, you have to submit them in the google docs form after the sprite is in the game

[hexed fog]

(please dont put it in your gallery post for now to avoid dups)

[fresh gazelle]

Despite the hard shell around its body, POKENAME enjoy being pet and are very clingy, being usually found in groups, or near bigger pokémon. It catches food with the claw on its head.

this good?

[radiant hemlock]

“Enjoy being petted” is more grammatically correct! I would also consider splitting into three sentences so you don’t have a run-on. “Despite the hard shell on its body, POKENAME enjoys being petted. It is very clingy and will often stay in groups or follow bigger Pokémon. It catches food with the claw on its head.”

I like the concept tho it’s very cute

[hexed fog]

I'd love more entries about the sleeping patterns of some pokemon

[tall tree]

Is there any other way to find out what sprites need entries? I can’t get the fusion dex to load at all.

[vivid spire]

A CHALLENGE?!?! On this the busiest day of work…. Okay, have a Weavra:

#262.63: POKENAME always sleeps through the night, able to effectively hide from Psychic types. Once the sun rises, it immediately awakens, teleporting to lands where it is still night.

[vivid spire]

Okay couldn’t resist a second entry after I saw the snuggle bug that is Snorpod:

#143.11a: Hanging from especially sturdy trees, POKENAME swaddles itself in layers of silk. If it tosses too much in its sleep, the tree falls down awakening it in an instant. Irate at being awake, it strips the nearest berry tree of all fruit.

[hexed fog]

you can go through the sheet itself

[tall tree]

How do I do that?

[fresh gazelle]

thank you very much!

Despite the hard shell around its body, POKENAME enjoy being petted. It is very clingy, being usually found in groups, or near bigger pokémon. It catches food with the claw on its head.

I suppose it is ready now

jsut gotta fix a few errors on the sprite real quick

Sightings of POKENAME are always accompanied by strange effects such as distortions on the shape and appearance of nearby objects. Despite its violent nature, it gets very docile to any creature it befriends.

[fresh gazelle]

lmao this is actually pretty hilarious and cute

[fresh gazelle]

I don't think I can

[fresh gazelle]

the site? well, there are two

fusiondex.org and infinitefusiondex.com

oh, wait

IFD doesn't have the dex entries nvm

[vivid spire]

Awww I want one of these now

[fresh gazelle]

me too

I'll upload the sprite and entry later today

[tall tree]

Yeah I basically have no way of being able to find sprites that don’t have entries so I can only participate if someone posts a sprite and asks for an entry for it.

[fresh gazelle]

but getting Giratina in the game is hard iirc

[fresh gazelle]

there should be a chat with the new entries that are approved yeah

[vivid spire]

I mostly play Randomized mode, so I’ll run across it someday to die in the grass

[topaz stream]

POKENAME's highly conductive armor lets it effectively turn its arms into railguns, launching plasma-boosted rocks from its hand holes at extreme velocity. When no rocks are loaded, it fires concentrated plasma instead, though at a shorter range.

I'm unsure if it should be "effectively lets it" or "lets it effectively", help?

[tall tree]

Yeah that would be really helpful because I’d love to actually participate

[radiant hemlock]

Skitkoth 525.385.png: POKENAME rarely moves by choice, but when it’s tired it will use its long arms to reach up and grab hold of its own tail. It then uses the tail as a pillow and curls up to sleep.

[vivid spire]

“Allows it to effectively turn its arms into Railguns”

[topaz stream]

I think that exceeds the limit by 1 lol

[vivid spire]

I would say change hand holes to arms

[tall tree]

If that’s the case they could take out the “though” in the last sentence so it’s just “at a shorter range.”

[topaz stream]

bet

[topaz stream]

I thought that'd make it a bit repetitive

[vivid spire]

It might, to be fair I missed the though in the last sentence and was thinking that could cut a few characters

[topaz stream]

mhm mhm

[tall tree]

Yeah it would still make sense without the “though.” And would save you on characters

[radiant hemlock]

You could also remove that section entirely. I don't think you lose a ton of meaning if it's just: "POKENAME's highly conductive armor lets it launch plasma-boosted rocks from its hand holes at extreme velocity."

[vivid spire]

allows instead of lets

Oh I didn’t know an asterisk makes it italics

[tall tree]

And double asterisks make it bold

[topaz stream]

eh, I thought that'd be too short

you mean bold

[vivid spire]

You learn something new every day

[tall tree]

I think that’s still a decent size, a lot of the canon pokemon entries from the games aren’t super long.

[topaz stream]

and you can change text size with #

[topaz stream]

hm yea I suppose

[radiant hemlock]

You can also still keep the second sentence! I just didn't paste it because I wasn't editing that part lol

[tall tree]

You mean ## text size

[topaz stream]

oh so you meant removing the effectively?

[topaz stream]

lol it has to be at the start

like this

[tall tree]

Yeah I forgot you can’t insert it in the middle of sentence

[radiant hemlock]

Yea, so something like "POKENAME's highly conductive armor allows it to launch plasma-boosted rocks from its hand holes at extreme velocity. When no rocks are loaded, it fires concentrated plasma instead, though at a shorter range."

[topaz stream]

oh removing the railgun analogy

[tall tree]

That would also work, it’s not too long I don’t think.

[topaz stream]

yeah that could work

I find it funny to imagine big bird over here shooting electrified rocks at mach 9

https://tenor.com/view/big-bird-angry-door-fall-gif-11404358

that carrot nose aint just for show

[fresh gazelle]

oh, dang

I have only played modern so far

[terse pawn]

What about mine??

[hexed fog]

?

[terse pawn]

Here it is

Plz check it out

[hexed fog]

is Black Pearl an ingame item?

if it isnt it shouldnt be capsd

[terse pawn]

It isn't
But I was thinking of it for like smth special for dhelmise

[hexed fog]

I'd add something to do with corsola

yeah you cant just cap random things lol

the other half is corsola yea?

[terse pawn]

Nah
Blissey

[hexed fog]

Oh

[terse pawn]

That's why it helps people

[hexed fog]

then yeah it def needs something blissey related

helping someone find treasures isnt really a blissey thing

theyre caretakers

like you can say it does something but both pokemon need to be spoken on

even if it's just slightly

[terse pawn]

Ooooooor
Instead of giving it a black pearl u have to do something caretaking related

Like defeating it without any of ur mons getting below half health

[hexed fog]

what do either of those things have to do with caretaking :/

No mons... like are people punching this thing?

also 'half health' would be denied, since it's a game mechanic

[terse pawn]

326.263
POKENAME are Pokémon with the ability to use the magnetic field to search for hidden treasure. The dowsers on the side of their bodies will always point to buried treasure without fail.

[terse pawn]

YAAAASSSSS

Dope entry for goofy ahh fusion
I love it

[amber summit]

Can't BELIEVE no one's done this one yet, best sprite in the game

329.336.png
Many legends exist of kings riding into battle on the back of POKENAME, striking terror into ally and foe alike.

[thorn ingot]

Pokedex entries should typically be 2 sentences here.

[storm light]

So when using phrases like "The lion's share" would it be more appropriate to substitute it with an equivalent Pokemon? Like for the phrase from before, i was thinking "The Pyroar's share."

[vivid spire]

Perhaps, but you have to be careful to use Pokemon already in the game. The Unowns would also have the final say

[storm light]

ah, alright

Do you think Luxray would be lion-like enough to fill that?

Also willing to hear other Pokemon that could fill it

OOH

Snorlax

They eat a ton

[vivid spire]

With its mane it’s certainly Lion-like. It might be better to write it as “the Bulk of” or “Most of”

Honestly Flareon is the only other that comes right to mind

[storm light]

This is the one i was writing for

#229.20
POKENAME commands a pack of its younger brethren. It will coordinate attacks on stores selling food to steal as much as the pack can before fleeing. POKENAME gets the biggest piece of the pie while its brethren are stuck eating scraps.

[vivid spire]

I would be more tempted to write is as “the biggest piece of the pie while its brethren are stuck eating scraps”

Maybe it would be a judgement call for a Unown

[storm light]

also noticed used it and they in it as well, changing they to 'the pack'

[vivid spire]

Had a crazy idea for this Skarvoir sprite:

#227.287: When flocks of Skarmory get in territorial disputes, POKENAME descend from the heavens. Getting in between the feuding parties, it declares judgements with its scepter, and ensures obedience with razor sharp bladed wings.

[rich goblet]

It's hard to explain, but 'territorial disputes' fits better in my head. It's more dex like maybe?

[vivid spire]

Agreed and changed

[storm light]

Double Ultra Necrozma fusion, wdyt?

#470.470
The light pouring from POKENAME is so extremely bright it could likely be seen from a galaxy away. The potential for human study of this Pokémon is minor not only due to its rarity, but because the light it emits harsh enough to burn.

[topaz stream]

In combat, POKENAME sprouts vines from its arms to ensnare its foes. Once they’re pulled into range, it unleashes kicks with blinding speed, chaining strikes in rapid succession.

thoughts?

[topaz stream]

I personally would put it like this:
The light pouring from POKENAME is so extremely bright it could be seen from a galaxy away. Study of this Pokémon is practically impossible, not only due to its rarity, but because of the risk of blindness

[storm light]

I was thinking of changing it to be theorized it could be seen from a galaxy away, I'm not sure if the Pokemon world has the ability to have people going that far out into space

[topaz stream]

mhm yea it could be just an extrapolation too

[rugged socket]

Hey guys, I've set up a new dex event if you want to try it out, let me know any changes you think should be made, happy dexxing

[vivid spire]

As everyone now knows, I can’t say no to a challenge. Claimed a few for the workday today, and for the “Scyther that Thrives in a Dusty Environment” I present Sandther:

#28.123: Found in the eyes of sandstorms, POKENAME circles in the air watching for Trapinch. When one is found, it dives through normally stinging dust, kicking its prey over to get at their soft underbelly.

[rugged socket]

That's a pretty awesome entry, wouldn't want any coming at me

[vivid spire]

The original idea for this struck me for this yesterday, driving past a construction site with a dust devil. The prompt brought it all together

[vivid spire]

Second prompt idea for the space “Like to dress up in their trainer’s clothes”:

#329.123 Aegither: POKENAME practice daily against each other, leaving their armor stronger than ever, but destroying their scarves. They float with ghostly powers through their Trainer's drying laundry until they find a replacement.

Or would it be better to be sarcastic and say “find a replacement to borrow?”

[rugged socket]

Yeah that's better

Haha

Maybe say like unintentionally destroying their scarves

Or smn

[vivid spire]

POKENAME practice daily against each other, leaving their armor stronger than ever, unintentionally destroying their scarves. They float with ghostly powers through their Trainer's drying laundry until they find a replacement to borrow.

[rugged socket]

Community DexSlog: Torterra/'Corner' - Flaafy/Torterra

Many small Pokémon make their nests on POKENAME, climbing up onto it at night to sleep. If it is ever backed into a corner, POKENAME expels a massive electric charge, standing its fur on end, and jolting the Pokémon on it awake.

[vivid spire]

Aww that’s cute. DON’T WAKE THE TAG ALONGS! One question what is the “Corner Star” entry?

[rugged socket]

So you need to include the word 'corner' in your entry somewhere

Might make it themed if I do more, but atm it's all just random

All the info should be in the 'Info' tab

[vivid spire]

Ahh I see it now. Am working on cell while supervising at work, so didn’t scroll far enough over

[rugged socket]

Ahh fair play, what is it you do if you don't mind me asking?

[vivid spire]

I work as a factory Shift Supervisor currently. Make sure my employees stay on task and work through breaks and lunches.

10 hours of working on my feet, so it’s good to have this to use my creativity

[rugged socket]

Oof that's rough man but yeah for sure

[vivid spire]

At least it keeps my body in shape

Otherwise I’d be playing games all day

[vivid spire]

One more for the morning, thought I would take a stab at a Nintales “is used behind the camera for movies” prompt:

#38.64 Ninebra: Widely known for their strong psychic senses, POKENAME is better known providing special effects in movies. Directors hire them to add practical pyrotechnics into scenes without harming Actors.

[rugged socket]

Would it be better to say Despite their strong psychic senses...

Is a great entry though!

Do you want me to fill in the grid with your entries?

[vivid spire]

Yes please. For future reference do we fill it in with sprites, solid colors or the entry itself?

Despite their strong psychic senses, POKENAME is better known providing special effects in movies. Directors hire them to add practical pyrotechnics into scenes without harming Actors.

[vivid spire]

One more entry, this one for Pikachu mentioned in a Scyther entry. I present the mouthful that is Electrther:

#101.123: While POKENAME has wings, they are made of pure electricity and it must hold itself aloft by magnetism. Contained in its wings' and claws' magnetic field is more voltage than is produced by Pikachu.

[vivid spire]

One more for the morning, before I have to focus more on work, for Mimikyu, “Like to dress up in Trainer’s clothes”, and this time for Mimivoir:

#373.287b: Doing its best to act elegant, POKENAME attempts to dress up in fancy clothes. While off-putting to most, those Trainers who bond with them often find shirts missing only to see it added onto their costume.

[rugged socket]

So you put the sprite in the left hand box, need to resize it so might have to be on pc, then fill in the right hand box with the dex entry

[vivid spire]

Yeah I’ll probably have to work on that either after work or on the weekend

[rugged socket]

It's all good, as long as claims are in it doesn't need to be real-time

And if you can't put the sprite in you can just put the number in and I can do it

[rugged socket]

Community DexSlog: Kabuto/Speed - Kabuto/Shuckle

POKENAME is so slow that battles are often over before they even get out of their shell. Some Trainers try to increase their Speed by coaxing them out of their shell and throwing berries at them to dodge. Most hit without them even flinching.

[vivid spire]

One suggestion, drop the first “them” from the last sentence, because I feel like it flows from the previous sentence’s them

[vivid spire]

Okay here’s my “big grin” idea for Kabuto, Kabuvee:

#140.133 Kabuvee: In ancient times, POKENAME was used as night watch, their bright red eyes scaring off threats. It enjoys having its rock hard shell polished, purring while the Trainer works.

[vivid spire]

Ngl, I love the “like to dress up in trainer clothes category so thought I’d take a shot at Fearkazam:

#22.65: Normally found guarding desert temples, POKENAME descends psychically from above and hits intruders with its staff. Archaeologists who catch them find all their socks woven into a nest while it wears one of their hoodies.

[terse pawn]

387.326
Wild POKENAME use the magnetic field to determine where to migrate across the vast ocean. They often travel in groups and will use their magnetic waves to communicate with each other.

[terse pawn]

314.326
The geomagnetic abilities of POKENAME are without equal. Ancient people out at sea had used them to navigate through vast oceans.

[rugged socket]

Aw man I want one aha

[rugged socket]

Community DexSlog: Empoleon/Green sprite - Spinarak/Empoleon

POKENAME lives in icy caves, and delicately carves out the ice to look like a web. This is POKENAME’s pride, and if anything dares to break it, they pounce on the unsuspecting creature from above, paralysing them.

Grid so far! 12/100 complete

[terse pawn]

387.325
Wild POKENAME eat pearls and use the magnetic field to traverse the seabed to hunt for Clampearl that hold them. They would also hunt Spoink whenever POKENAME are on land.

[rugged socket]

I would change the second sentence to They also hunt Spoink whenever they are on land.

[vivid spire]

Had to REALLY look for a sprite that talked to me for the Green Scyther entry, and I found Bellther:

#182.123: POKENAME actively hunts Bug type Pokémon who attempt to devour dancing Bellossom. In quiet moments, they can be seen swaying through the air in a humanly impossible blade dance.

[vivid spire]

One more while I’m at lunch, Ninetales really was difficult to find a Green Sprite. But then I encountered Suntales:

#192.38a: Always following the Sun, POKENAME march from East to West every day, powering up their bodies. When the sun sets, they use Will-o’-Wisp following whatever direction they happen to be facing.

[rugged socket]

Great entry, but it might need something at the end? Maybe something like Plants in the vicinity seem to grow especially quickly.

[wind oxide]

Is there like a page where we can see the most/least used fusions?

or is that not trackable data?

[wind oxide]

where is this grid at?

[rugged socket]

Not that I know of

[rich goblet]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eEDisY-UaS44v_kBY8tNA4qmVEP6fToEKTzBPN_bcro/edit?usp=sharing

This the grid

[wind oxide]

#119.38
Known for their dazzling displays, POKENAME are known to be kept in separate fish tanks because of their aggressive behaviours, and are thought to steal the tails of other fish to use as their own.

[rugged socket]

Haha love that XD

Would you mind filling in the claim sheet so it doesn't get double booked

[vivid spire]

Corrected:

#192.38a Suntales: Always following the Sun, POKENAME march from East to West every day, powering up their bodies. When the sun sets, they use Will-o’-Wisp following whatever direction they happen to be facing. Plants in its vicinity seem to grow especially fast

[wind oxide]

how do I do that? 😄

[rugged socket]

In the 'Claim Here' tab, just put your username in the right box

[wind oxide]

I think I did it right, can you check?

[rugged socket]

Yep, spot on

[wind oxide]

@rugged socket #438.38 Known as the burning dust, rubber eating pokemon, POKENAME tend to live in hoarder houses. They collect all the dust around them to use as fuel for their incineration moves. They're highly protective of their hoarder owners.

[rugged socket]

Community DexSlog: Regice/Pikachu mentioned - Joltik/Regice

Legends claim that the first known POKENAME formed when a Joltik had attached itself to a Pikachu. The Pikachu used a thunderbolt to dislodge it, which caused it to hurtle into an unsuspecting Regice. To this day they seem to be wary of Pikachu.

[rugged socket]

Would maybe split it into 3 sentences?

POKENAME are known as the burning dust, rubber-eating Pokémon. They tend to live in hoarder houses, collecting all the dust around them to use as fuel for their incineration moves. They're highly protective of their hoarder owners.

[wind oxide]

#38.124
Known to dress in their trainer's clothes, POKENAME love to attend cosplay events. They never give back the garments they borrow.

[rugged socket]

Love that, would probably tweak second sentence to They never give back the garments they borrow.

[rugged socket]

Community DexSlog: Porygon/Dust - Porygon2/Sandshrew

POKENAME only come out of cyberspace if they find a very dusty system. They build nests out of dust next to a PC, draining data from it. They don’t manage to stay in one place long, as the interference they cause often results in spring-cleaning.

[wind oxide]

#52.38

Known to bring good luck in gambling, POKENAME can turn a losing streak into a winning streak by just being in the room. The game corner, therefore, has banned these Pokémon from entering the premises.

[rugged socket]

That's a sick entry, think that's my fave so far

Remember Pokémon needs accent and capital

[wind oxide]

I can't do accent on my keyboard 🙁

copied yours

[rugged socket]

No worries

[wind oxide]

@rugged socket

#38.356
In the summer months, POKENAME are known to swarm in plagues with speeds rivaling lightning bolts. Their wings flutter so fast that the swarms create fire tornados in their wake.

[rugged socket]

Community DexSlog: Wooper/Fish tank - Blissey/Wooper

Aquariums use POKENAME as an indicator of the mood of the other fish. If they are hyperactive, the tank is healthy, if they barely move, it needs attention. Children like to watch them dart around, blowing bubbles at the other members of the tank.

[wind oxide]

places the nine-king in the same tank

[vivid spire]

Alright, an entry for Empoleon who is comfortable around dust…. How about a Pokémon archaeologist, Maroleon?

#105.324: Deep in the heart of the desert, POKENAME digs for skulls of ancient Pokémon. When found, they dust them off and add any outstanding specimens to their collection. If one is especially magnificent, they replace their helm.

[terse pawn]

149.212
Legends say that a paladin founded an order of knights with the help of his POKENAME to protect his kingdom. The overwhelming power of its Dragon Rush had mowed down any that dared to challenge it.

[rich goblet]

Do paladins exist in the Pokemon world?

[vivid spire]

We know knights do, so it could be a possibility

[terse pawn]

Team Plasma had knight garb, so they had a concept of knights and paladins

[rich goblet]

Doesn't paladin imply like a god or something? I dunno, just making sure its vague enough

[wind oxide]

#201.38

It's said the eyes of POKENAME shine with unknown malice at foes who dare look. Brimstone laced death comes swiftly to its challengers.

(for the Use as many different letters to start words ninetales)

[wind oxide]

well, palafin would argue, yes.

[rich goblet]

I'll let the Unowns handle it I suppose, its a cool entry regardless

[wind oxide]

@rugged socket #26.38

Beloved by Pikachu, POKENAME serve as portable chargers for whole packs of the electric rodents. It's said that one can charge up to 100 Pikachu in a day using their tails as charging cables.

[vivid spire]

A couple of nitpicks, and I’m not saying these are right or wrong:

the second Pikachu of the first sentence should be replaced with “the Pokémon”

And I think internal combustion brings more to Mind cars than electricity. If you want to use its fire to generate electricity it might need a different descriptor

[storm light]

Had to do one before taking a look at DexSlog, wdyt?

#433.483
The dance of a POKENAME is slow, yet methodical. Its subtle movements coerce spirits from beyond to swirl around it as it dances. The spirit orbs then ignite with fire as they are hurled to attack its foes.

[wind oxide]

yeah, I changed the last part. I'll switch to the pokemon, but I was afraid that it would make it seem like it was charging whole packs of itself (since Pikachu isn't the last noun used in the sentence)

[wind oxide]

I'd use ignite rather than alight

[wind oxide]

Beloved by Pikachu, POKENAME serve as portable chargers for whole packs of the Pokémon. It's said that one can charge up to 100 Pikachu in a day using their tails as charging cables.

I just hope it doesn't sound like it's charging whole packs of itself.

[vivid spire]

It sounds good to me. Maybe another set of eyes has a different opinion?

[storm light]

so apparently alight is an adjective, not a verb like i initially thought. i just used it bc it was the first thing that came to my mind that fit with how i wrote the entry lol Definitely will fix that

[wind oxide]

right, it's already ignited if it's alight

😄

I made that mistake a while back, so it's the only thing I was thinking

[storm light]

The entire time i was writing it, i had a daydream of Orixen dancing like how i wrote it and with how it looked, alight just felt right

[wind oxide]

It's an awesome dex entry!

[vivid spire]

Another solution would be to drop beloved by Pikachu and keep the second one

But I feel it robs personality from the entry

[wind oxide]

that's what I thought too, 😵‍💫

[wind oxide]

Oh I think I fixed it. #dex-entries-discussion message

[vivid spire]

Ready for a Regice that would totally wear its trainer’s clothes? Regivoir:

#448.287: Considered to be the harbinger of winter, POKENAME's very presence freezes lakes. A cold lonely Pokémon, it is said whoever offers it a scarf becomes their Trainer.

[rich goblet]

My brain is turning into mush lately, I wish I was at home

I have AC at home but I need to do WORK to LIVE

I hope my entries are okay, I can barely think, let the day just end

[wind oxide]

I wish I was a dex-entry unown

[rich goblet]

You can apply at #become-a-staff-helper

[vivid spire]

I feel your pain. ATM my job is on a factory floor with the temps at or above 100

[rich goblet]

I should stop making dex entries when its hot out, I reread some of my entries and feel self conscious

[vivid spire]

Your entries are fire, but there’s no shame in taking a break, especially in the heat

[rich goblet]

It's more like I don't have much to do once work is done, so I make entries

[wind oxide]

I did, I need to get 10(?) entries approved.

I have submitted 13 so far, so I just need to be patient.

[rich goblet]

Good luck!

[scenic badge]

If POKENAME cries are heard, then it's said an everlasting bond is formed somewhere in the world. This fact made it become the symbol of love in eastern countries.

[wind oxide]

I'd fix the grammar of the first sentence by saying:

If POKENAME cries are heard, then it's said an everlasting bond is formed somewhere in the world.

Changed "is" to "are" and long lasting to everlasting, but just a suggestion.

[jagged ledge]

@barren ingot @wind oxide Please use all lowercase when submitting your usernames. 👍

[jagged ledge]

If/then statements require a comma before the then because "If a condition is met, then the outcome occurs" are technically two separate prepositional clauses. 👍

[wind oxide]

my bad

is that on the forms?

the ones through the google forms

[jagged ledge]

No worries Welcome to Dex Entries btw.

[wind oxide]

also very true 😄

[scenic badge]

It’s much better thank you

[jagged ledge]

Yeah, we're still working on the credits system, but the form gives us a special highlight if a username has an error.

[jagged ledge]

Also please note the suggested comma

[fresh gazelle]

POKENAME is capable of surviving in both the deep sea and land. Despite the goofy look, it is a capable swimmer and walker, being well adapted for both conditions.

help?

[jagged ledge]

I would say "Both on land and in the deep sea." to add a clearer distinction since "in land" isn't really accurate.

The second sentence is kinda subjective while just saying the same thing as the first?

[wind oxide]

POKENAME is capable of surviving in both the deep sea and land. Despite the goofy look, it is a capable swimmer and walker, being well adapted for both conditions.

Maybe:

POKENAME has habitats in both the deep sea and on land. Despite its apparent goofy look, it's adept at survival both in the crushing depths of the oceans and harsh terrestrial environments.

[fresh gazelle]

that's a good point

[wind oxide]

That way the second sentence builds on the first one, rather than just restating it?

[jagged ledge]

Well you need to consider the implications of the wording change. If it is a singular entry, "has habitats" would also potentially imply migration? Unless we shift to plural in that the species have habitats, but that still has the issue of functionally being the same thing. "They live in these environments. They survive in these environments."

Also quick grammar note: "survival in both"

[fresh gazelle]

POKENAME is capable of surviving both on land and in the deep sea, being a capable swimmer and walker. It never sleeps, but its body shows signs of resting during 6 to 8 hours a day @wind oxide tis better?

I remembered fishes usually don't really sleep

and got this idea

I wanted to say it sleeps during the day

but how is it gonna sleep during the day when in the deep sea?

[jagged ledge]

Maybe say something like "It never sleeps, but it enters a state of rest when dwelling in warmer climates."?

[hollow nimbus]

You can also just completely ignore real fish and say that it sleeps because it's a made-up Pokémon in a made-up world

But fish do seem to be aware of the time of day somehow

There are certain species that move to different depths throughout the day

Iirc, Humboldt squid will rest in deeper waters, and in the morning, they swim higher up to hunt together. Once it's about midday, they go back down to the deep

(Fish do sleep, though. Their sleep just tends to have different characteristics than mammalian sleep.)

[jagged ledge]

I am only seeing 4 on the form?

[jagged ledge]

Also please use POKENAME when writing entries, the algorithm will fill in the name. Saves us issues like where "Meowsaur" could be any of the Bulbasaur line.

[wind oxide]

? Oh the contest too 😄

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eEDisY-UaS44v_kBY8tNA4qmVEP6fToEKTzBPN_bcro/edit?gid=1870601595#gid=1870601595

[jagged ledge]

Oh, that's not an official submission. You'll still have to get them approved on the official submission form.

[wind oxide]

I mis-counted maybe? But I made all of the bulbasaur / meowth line

[wind oxide]

O I C

So I need to submit these

Got it

[jagged ledge]

Submit them and have them reviewed, but yes

[wind oxide]

I get it, but I didn't know we had to submit these, I thought they were magically going into a DB or something 🙂

I'm new

[hollow nimbus]

This seems to be a personally-owned sheet belonging to a member of the community. Whatever they're doing with it, we have no say over it. As such, entries there have no quality assurance from the editing team here, and that sheet cannot be used as material for an application.

[wind oxide]

drat

[jagged ledge]

DB?

Also please note: Even if there are contests or official events, you still need to manually submit your entries on the form if you want them to appear in game.

[jagged ledge]

No worries, that's why we're here to help.

[hollow tapir]

Database maybe?

[jagged ledge]

Probably

Unless

[rugged socket]

Yep sorry, I'll put something on the sheet tomorrow to let people know

All the entries look great, I'll update the chart tomorrow with any entries not yet on it, you're smashing it guys 🎉

[vivid spire]

Another Scyther entry for the non official competition sheet. This one featuring Sneather’s speed!

#215.123: Using its wings for an extra boost, POKENAME moves faster than a race car and maneuvers sharply. Generally seen in pairs, each takes turns attacking while confounding their foes.

[regal cedar]

I'd probably remove the comma after car since the and accomplishes what's wanted and there isn't a list of over 2 items.

[vivid spire]

Now a toughie was finding a Scyther fusion that fit in a fish tank. Then I found Scyto:

#123.140: Small enough to be carried in a fish tank, POKENAME depend on their menacing false eyes to keep predators away. Their facade melts when they are petted, as they enjoy snuggling up to their Trainers.

[jagged ledge]

Adjective placement: "False eyes" is one subject, so it would be better to say "menacing false eyes"

[jagged ledge]

"Their facade melts when they are petted, as they enjoy snuggling up to their Trainers."

[vivid spire]

Updated and thank you for the help!

[terse pawn]

378.281a
An ancient tribe of Dragon-type Trainers had used POKENAME as mounts and flew around all of Hoenn. They will use Safeguard to protect their riders if they sense danger during their flights.

[fresh gazelle]

exactly, and their bodily functions reduce less than the ones of us terrestrial beings, it's just I thought it'd be interesting for this fusion, specially since this creature have a closed eye

[vivid spire]

Had another Brainwave for Mimikyu for one that is supposed to help Movies behind the camera, Mimigon:

#373.137: Its costume made from outdated electronics, POKENAME is surprisingly adept at vocal mimicry and digital art. As such, movie studios employ them to digitally enhance scenes.

[terse pawn]

That Pokémon looks friend shaped

[vivid spire]

It is just a friendly little guy. I want 20!

[rich goblet]

I just realized I don't know how big a fish tank is

I hope the entry I did for Empoleon was okay in light of that

[vivid spire]

To be fair “Fish tank” is only as big as your budget

They only call it an aquarium if it’s open to the public

[rich goblet]

@rugged socket I think we should put images after all the cells are filled, trying to put them in cells as people go makes them shuffle a little. What do you think?

[storm light]

Little guy :)

#63.147
POKENAME's skin is soft after it molts, making it vulnerable to attack. If it senses danger, it will release a Dragon Breath in the danger's direction before teleporting away. Multiple people have reported POKENAME teleporting into their homes.

[rich goblet]

To be a bit more action packed, you can just assume it does the thing you want it to do.

When it senses danger, it fires a Dragon Breath toward the danger before teleporting away.

[regal cedar]

This Pokémon is both predator and prey: while its horn allows it to easily overwhelm smaller lifeforms, larger and fiercer hunters of the north, such as Walrein, find its fatty flesh most delectable.

Wanting feedback.

[fresh gazelle]

ok Ill just send my mom

sorry I cant give feedback rn I can bareolyu think

too tired

[rugged socket]

Yeah if it's causing issues good idea

[barren ingot]

Alright, will do from now on 👍

[vivid spire]

Early morning and you know what that means. MORE DEX ENTRIES! This time a Scyther who works behind the movie scenes, Tentather:

#72.123: Normally found gliding through the water, POKENAME's tentacles are adept at catching Magikarp as they swim by. Able to pick locks and do other fine detail work, this Pokémon has found use acting as makeup artists for films.

[vivid spire]

Short and sweet entry for Scyther “Corner”, involving the Ghostly Gasther:

#92.123: Found under corner street lamps, POKENAME stands eerily still. When spotted, it floats into the air without using its wings and chases its victim as if possessed.

[vivid spire]

Another Movie studio idea for Regice, but this time they’re fighting to use Regitales:

#448.38: Due to its internal body heat and Arctic cold exterior, POKENAME is constantly shrouded by fog. Movie studios and Scientists fight over whether to use them in place of fog machines or to study weather patterns.

[vivid spire]

Empoleon and Big grins, so interesting how many of its sprites look angry/sad. There’s at least ONE fusion you can count on looking happy. Presenting Empogar:

#327.94a: Calling polluted factory waters home, POKENAME use their coloration to confound Tentacool's normally stellar sight. When one swims by, this Pokémon extends its reach with Shadow Claws, grasping its prey and taking them down to the depths.

[vivid spire]

Another Pokémon that will wear their trainer’s clothes, this one MUST BE PROTECTED! Dewper:

#87.194: POKENAME cluster together during low tide on cool muddy beaches to nap and practice Mud slaps. When caught, they have extreme separation anxiety and must have a hat from their Trainer to feel safe.

[vivid spire]

Really enjoying writing for Pokémon that would wear their trainer’s clothes, and decided to write an entry for Kabureon:

#140.197: With its iron hard shell, POKENAME blocks incoming attacks while its night vision enhanced eyes glare their foes into submission. Due to their sensitivity to sunlight, Trainers sunglasses often go missing.

[vivid spire]

This one especially I need to be sure is not TOO referential, but I saw Poryfairy and immediately thought it was a match for Pokémon who wear their trainer’s clothes:

#233.35a: Rumors abound that POKENAME is an escaped arcade mascot. When it strikes, it puts on clothes to match the attack type. How it gets its Trainer's clothes from their backpack is currently unknown.

[vivid spire]

One final early-ish morning entry for Pokémon that would wear their trainer’s clothes, this one a bit more Fairy-like. Torvoir:

#318.287: A welcoming island presence, POKENAME are attuned to the land, rescuing Pokémon from natural disasters and ensuring the rain forests are taken care of. People offer their clothes to ensure bountiful berry harvests, unaware its tail stretches any fabric.

[young hawk]

It's still "pet", not "petted", to pet is among the irregular verbs with unusual conjunctions.

[vivid spire]

Oops, already submitted it as such, but will remember in the future!

[young hawk]

Do we have an easy way of randomly obtaining a Pokémon without an entry to make one for?

[vivid spire]

Not currently, I’ve been going through Fusiondex.org, which was updated two entry updates ago, so it is pretty accurate

If you really want to dig into which do or do not have entries you can check the Approved tab, which lists them out by number, but that also requires a lot of sorting and cross referencing fusiondex.org

[young hawk]

I see, I see. Let's try one...

#213.301a Living among barren, rocky underwater landscapes, POKENAME are true pioneers and pave the way for more complex life to find its niche. They crush up rocks as they migrate, creating habitats for other Pokémon.

[vivid spire]

I like it, and the wording is spot on for a Dex entry. One thing I’m not 100% on is if you need a comma between barren and rocky

[young hawk]

I guess it depends on if rocky describes just the landscape or the underwater landscape.

[vivid spire]

Either way it’s a solid entry and the Unowns can decide after submission

[young hawk]

Very well!

#427.560: POKENAME create ice floats on which they drift among frozen coastlines. "Visits" by these Pokémon often end in chaos, as they pillage and play pranks to their unwilling hosts as they please.

[jagged ledge]

No, you do not need a comma after barren

[midnight siren]

3 things:

1. visits doesn't need to be in quotes - they are just visiting whatever town
2. pranks to their should be pranks on their
3. among should probably be along

[young hawk]

#269.91b: A rare sight on secluded beaches, POKENAME's body shines with a light promising fortune and prosperity. Its outer shell, however, seems to fully block the ability to perceive this effect.

[radiant hemlock]

How do we handle dex entries if a Pokemon has two sprites that are versions of the same design?

https://www.fusiondex.org/525.483/
For example, I wrote the dex entry for 525.483a, and 525.483 is the same sprite design with a skitty added in. Should those dex entries be the same because it is in essence the same Pokemon? Or should they get different entries?

[dull folio]

They have different entries

The alt sprite already has an entry though so no guarantees it will show up in game

[wind oxide]

I'll get those dex entries in the DB today, it's been non-stop at work, sorry.

[radiant hemlock]

That's the entry I wrote! I was just looking back at it and wondering whether I should have submitted it for both versions since they are so similar lol

[dull folio]

Ahh all good then yeah you might as well no one else has claimed it already so power to you

[regal cedar]

Hello everyone. For today's warmup, try to write an entry for this Pokémon.

https://www.fusiondex.org/227.83/

[rich goblet]

POKENAME skewers fruits off of tree branches using its trusty spear. It flies between different forests to taste new types of fruit.

@regal cedar This one was surprisingly hard to come up with something, what do you think about the blurb I wrote above? 😄

[regal cedar]

Hey, works for me!

[rich goblet]

You mean there's no errors in this one?

I surprise myself

[rugged socket]

Community DexSlog: Porygon2/Big grin sprite - Porygon2/Koffing

POKENAME have assumed the image of a harmless internet prank, but are in fact a dangerous virus. Other specialist Porygon2 fusions are tasked with cleaning out any system that gets infected.

Great work today @wind oxide @vivid spire @rich goblet we're at 43/100 entries completed! If anyone else wants to join in we'd love to have you:)

[vivid spire]

Work got crazy at the end of the day for me, so I have two more claims I’m gonna write for

[vivid spire]

First of all a green Kabuto sprite, which is surprisingly hard to find. Cacto was perfect:

#457.140: Found surrounding desert oases, POKENAME only move during arid rainstorms. Due to other Pokémon attempting to drain their water, they sharpen their quills daily to pierce hardened hides.

[jagged ledge]

We ask you don't describe singular instances (entries should reflect species-wide traits) or present the origins of the fusions as fact, as the intention is for wild fusions to be more mysterious as mentioned in the FAQs.

[rugged socket]

Yeah my bad, cheers

[vivid spire]

I’m hoping this doesn’t come off as a joke entry, I did not want to refer to the Netflix Pokémon show with this entry, but here is a Mimikyu entry mentioning Pikachu:

#373.30: Able to easily blend in at conventions, POKENAME quietly stalks Pikachu that are present. During the talent competition, it strikes the electric rat with a paralytic poison dart, before seeking another.

[jagged ledge]

Conventions? Like Comic Con? Also saying "the electric rat" doesn't really fit Dex Tone

[vivid spire]

Are anime or art or Pokémon conventions a thing in universe?

Not wanting to cause a FAQ problem

Ohh wait I have two idea, one moment while I edit

[vivid spire]

Edited quite a bit:

Able to easily blend in during Pokémon Contests, POKENAME quietly stalks Pikachu that are competing. During the opening ceremonies, it strikes the Electric type with a paralytic poison dart, before vanishing into the crowd.

[jagged ledge]

I mean, most likely, but they aren't an active part of game lore, so you would have to describe them more specifically/set the scene and then that gets into question of inserting too much would building and insistence of what the game is over the entry itself. So the answer is "You can write it, just consider how you're using it."

[vivid spire]

Thoughts on the edit?

[jagged ledge]

I do think Pokémon Contests is a good replacement, but I would suggest simplifying your second reference to Pikachu as just "its targets", especially because you are describing repeat instances.

I suppose I just question the intention of "blending in". With Nidorina? With mascot costumes?

[vivid spire]

Correct with mascot costumes…. Maybe during a celebration of some kind instead…

Parades would be a better fit perhaps

[jagged ledge]

I wish I was able to help more, but I need to work on Dexdoku for now before logging off for the night, but I wish you the best and believe in you to find a solution. 👍

[vivid spire]

Okay I think this works pretty well now:

#373.30 Mimirina: Able to blend in during Pokémon Contests with the other mascots, POKENAME quietly stalks Pikachu that are competing. During the opening ceremonies, it strikes its target with a paralytic poison dart, before vanishing into the crowd.

[jagged ledge]

Congrats to @rich goblet For winning the previous round of Dexdoku, the next round is currently live!

[rich goblet]

WOO!

[terse pawn]

Congrats

[regal cedar]

I do love the simplicity and horror of this entry I did back when the word limit was small 😌

i also have grown to like this one a lot too

this one i dig too

i forget how disturbing/cute this one is 😭

[round cave]

My Elusive Dex entry, #1406090487827533874
When the Shellder on its head bites down, POKENAME gains insights on how to catch whatever prey it's hunting. While POKENAME cannot swim fast enough to catch its prey unlike Sharpedo, it instead uses its psychic powers to pull them into its jaws.
Feedback?

[rich goblet]

These two will forever be a favorite

[rich goblet]

Maybe the middle blurb could use some work, maybe like…

… gains insights on how to catch whatever prey it's hunting…

The two phrasing around the Sharpedo could use work too, but I don’t know how to fix that

[vivid spire]

Personally, this was my favorite to write and I think it came out the best:

Though I would write a just for fun entry, about Snortales:

#143.38 Snortales: It is currently unknown how long POKENAME naps over each month. When it awakens immediately it uses its flames to cook fresh berries, before curling up on impossibly soft and comfortable tails to sleep once more.

[terse pawn]

Comfy Pokémon

[vivid spire]

So sleepy

[shy portal]

beanbag tails

[vivid spire]

Out of the fusions I’ve seen, top ten most comfy

[hexed fog]

I would love to see some dex entries about pokemon that live in or utilize sewer systems

[regal cedar]

[hexed fog]

[rich goblet]

Is that a new Pokémon?

[willow venture]

What

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/18.88/

POKENAME swoops through sewers, looking for Rattata or other prey to snatch. It leaves trails of gooey residue that reeks of garbage.

[indigo turtle]

Its diamond claws can cut through stone — perfect for spelunking through the caves to find precious gems that it can snatch.
https://www.fusiondex.org/421.504/

When POKENAME find a really large gem, they will protect it at all costs. Sometimes, you can see the determination in their eyes.
https://www.fusiondex.org/421.505/

[vivid spire]

Funny enough I saw and fell in love with the sprite, but didn’t have any idea how to tackle it. Keep your distance from Grivoir:

#88.287: Amid the septic aromas of sewers, POKENAME trudge along. Rumored to have been cursed to live among its weakness, it has adapted to be able to absorb toxins and purify them within their bodies.

[fluid girder]

[vivid spire]

Another random one, the sprite itself is awesome, but I immediately thought they could live in the sewer, Tanark:

#114.338: One of few Grass types that require no light for energy, POKENAME generally is found clogging up sewers. Every night they exit their home, disguising themselves as Workers, but the smell gives them away.

[rugged socket]

Community DexSlog: Empoleon/dressing up - Lucario/Empoleon

Despite POKENAME's fierce exterior and ferociousness in battle, it has a softer side. It is happy play with a Trainer's children, and let them dress it up in ridiculous outfits, it even strikes poses, knowing the joy it causes.

[midnight siren]

488.448:

Despite its eyes always being closed, POKENAME is able to see up to 100km using its smoke to scope out prey. When POKENAME finds its prey it will expel a blazingly hot aura, cooking its prey instantly. - dex for elusive dex collab, i need some help with wording lol

[terse pawn]

149.130
Wild POKENAME will fly to any conflict near them in order to put an end to it with Hurricane. When it's time to sleep they dive into the water from the sky and sleep on the lakebed.

[terse pawn]

148.130
POKENAME spend most of their lives deep near lakebeds. They will swim to the surface and attack those that dare pollute their waters.

147.130
POKENAME are very playful and energetic Pokémon that love to roughhouse. Their violent playfulness is often mistaken as malice due to how they interact with fishing boats.

[hexed fog]

Why not some pokemon who guard sunken cargo or pirate ships

[hexed fog]

#discord-suggestions message

[terse pawn]

437.334
Ferocious wild POKENAME have recently been discovered using sunken ships as homes. Any daring treasure hunter that attempts to explore these vessels may not make it back alive.

[vivid spire]

This was tricky, and I need an extra set of eyes. It is an entry using as many words starting with different letters as possible, and I decided to use Rother:

#328.123: Through an unknown process, POKENAME quickly converts regular air into Xenon gas, juicing up its electricity and lighting its way. Zigzagging while hovering, it lands slashes on opponents, dodging blows fearlessly, yet creating nets of pure energy.

Currently I am only missing a word starting with the letter K

[vivid spire]

Don’t think I forgot about THIS challenge. I present Milovile:

#335.262: Found mainly in the depths of icy sea trade lanes, POKENAME set up colonies aboard sunken cargo vessels. Their bright coloration is to warn intruders to stay away and to protect their families they will freeze salt water around threats.

[rugged socket]

That's crazy, all but 1 letter is very impressive
Maybe say 'slashes and kicks opponents' to get the k in too?

[jagged ledge]

I'm a bit confused on the second sentence. The slashing opponents lets it dodge yet create nets?

[jagged ledge]

That would be over the character limit.

Writing exercises are fun, but remember the format for entry submissions. 👍

[vivid spire]

If I drop “yet” and replace it with “while” it would make more sense

[vivid spire]

Zigzagging while hovering, it lands slashes on opponents, dodging blows fearlessly, while creating nets of pure energy.

In your opinion would it flow better as “Hovering in a zigzag?

[regal cedar]

While it attacks in a zigzag pattern, it also creates nets?

I thought it might be Zigzagoon and a Bug-type honestly. Hmm. It is definitetly an odd entry.

[vivid spire]

Made for a prompt using as many letters of the alphabet as possible to start the words, I am definitely open to criticism/feedback for improving the entry

I suppose I could rework the second sentence, but must think the best way to do so…

[rich goblet]

Funny Dexdoku post

[vivid spire]

How is this for an edited entry, this time missing “Y”

Through an unknown process, POKENAME quickly converts regular air into Xenon gas, juicing up its electricity and lighting its way. Creating nets of static energy, it lands zapping kicks, hovering to dodge ferocious blows.

[vivid spire]

Edited version above, shorter and now missing Y

[boreal canyon]

i removed the smoke eyes so it's only this right now

[rugged socket]

Sorry, my bad, on my phone

[jagged ledge]

No worries

[jagged ledge]

I like the change to the first sentence, but I'm still struggling to see the connection between the actions. You're phrasing it as if these are all part of the same action, but it reads more as a list.

[jagged ledge]

A fun prompt, sure, but be cautious and make sure that you're still formatting the entry correctly and not just forcing in vocabulary.

[vivid spire]

Might be as easy of a fix as just connecting the two with a “Using this process, they create nets of static electricity, kick with zapping power and hover to dodge ferocious blows.”

And true I was focusing too much on the challenge and not enough on connecting the ideas

[jagged ledge]

Remember the comma after power and it should be good I think

[jagged ledge]

It's ok, just something to be mindful of.

[vivid spire]

Final draft, with the fixes suggested:

Through an unknown process, POKENAME quickly converts regular air into Xenon gas, juicing up its electricity and lighting its way. Using this process, they create nets of static electricity, kick with zapping power, and hover to dodge ferocious blows.

[vivid spire]

Another entry for Kabuto, this time one that lives in dusty places, Kabupunny:

#140.354: Living in arid, dusty environments, POKENAME use their ears as fans to dissipate heat. At night they navigate carefully, using their infrared vision to avoid predators and locate cacti for water.

[chilly bloom]

cactus should be either cacti or cactuses

[vivid spire]

Thank you for the feedback and it is corrected

[round cave]

Before posting, I want to make sure my entry's good:
When the Shellder on its head bites down, POKENAME gains insights on how to catch whatever prey it's hunting. While POKENAME cannot swim fast enough to catch its prey unlike Sharpedo, it instead uses its psychic powers to pull them into its jaws.

[fresh gazelle]

where is that person that was sad that couldn't write more entries, who wanted a mon to write an entry about?

[fresh gazelle]

add one eye back, so the entry will make sense 💪

[boreal canyon]

why ?

[fresh gazelle]

idk, because it looked very cool?

[boreal canyon]

also, does anyone has an idea for a dex for this little dude #1406291893016334376 ?

[glossy magnet]

Hey guys, sorry if this has been answered before but do dex entries submitted to sprite-gallery actually get into the game? I saw some custom entries posted in there back in April, but the in-game dex and fusiondex still only show the autospliced version

[glossy magnet]

Somethin about curses if you touch its body perhaps? Or mentioning Spoink's lore that it dies if it stops bouncing :(

[boreal canyon]

in theory it should if they were correctly formated

[boreal canyon]

meh, it was more of a troll addition because it looked funny but imo it looks better without them

[glossy magnet]

I haven't noticed any of the sprite gallery entries actually in the game, but hopefully they show up soon 🫡

[fresh gazelle]

it takes 1-2 months for them to get in

if you post at august 31st

it will be in the game in october 1st

if you post in august 1st

it will also be in the game in october 1st

[boreal canyon]

nah they're saying that sprites posted with dex entry doesn't have said dex entry

[fresh gazelle]

that sucks

I hope mine get

it takes a lot of mental energy to make entries

to me, at least

altho I can manually add them to the thingie later

[fresh gazelle]

is it a known problem, or a few cases thing?

[boreal canyon]

i don't play the game

[vivid spire]

Not sure, if they were submitted and approved, they generally get into game circulation within weeks. My first submission I found in my fusion dex within two days after approval.

[vivid spire]

Have you checked the approval/responses page to verify your submissions were approved?

I went through the responses/APPROVED entries list, and I am not seeing your entries. Did you submit them officially using the #dex-entries-submissions form?

[glossy magnet]

Nope, I just submitted them with my sprite to the sprite-gallery. As far as I can tell, *nobody's *submissions are going through if they just put them in the gallery.
It's nbd though! We can just resubmit them on the submissions form

[vivid spire]

Ahh yes, yesterday @hexed fog mentioned the entries put into the sprite gallery feature was prematurely announced. For now if you wish to write your sprite’s entry, you need to use the #dex-entries-submissions form.

[glossy magnet]

That makes more sense! Thanks!

[fresh gazelle]

but for sprites, it takes two months

good to know tho

[vivid spire]

Correct, you have to submit after the sprite is officially released in game

[jagged ledge]

Also worth noting is that Entries are only accepted for Sprites already in the game. If you submit an entry for something you upload to the gallery now, it will be marked as "No Sprite Yet."

[midnight siren]

POKENAME uses the smoke it constantly produces to spook its prey out from their burrows. When it finds its prey, POKENAME will expel a blazingly hot aura, cooking its prey instantly. - colllab entry for elusive dex, thoughts on the entry?

[rich goblet]

What Pokemon is this? It feels like a Regi but I don't know which one

[midnight siren]

torkoal/regice

[rich goblet]

POKENAME constantly produces smoke, which it uses to scare prey out from their burrows. As prey leaves its burrow, POKENAME release a blazing hot aura, cooking its prey instantly.

I think this helps clean up the grammar of your original post.

This is not the right channel for that, please head to #tech-support for help.

[pliant tinsel]

thx

[midnight siren]

cheers lad, my brain has not been cooperating today lol

produce i think should be produces tho - produce would be plural but the entry is written in singular

[rich goblet]

I never said I was good at cleaning up grammar

[hexed fog]

How about some entries about how certain pokemon survive icy tundras

[vivid spire]

Ahh yes, another Lopunny fusion idea from this challenge, Glacepunny:

#272.354: Found frolicking on tundra ice, POKENAME depend on their fine fur to lock in comfortable temperatures. If an Arctic storm grows too cold, they huddle together in a giant herd.

[rich goblet]

220.58 POKENAME has a thick layer of fur that protects it from frigid environments. When it gets wet, it sneezes out embers to try to warm itself up.

https://www.fusiondex.org/220.58/

[vivid spire]

GET THAT FUSION A TOWEL!

[rich goblet]

It’s baby

[hollow nimbus]

The person working on the system to submit entries from galposts is currently on hiatus, so it may be a bit until it's operational. The system hit an unexpected hitch, so it's not currently working.

Once it does work, all of the entries from the gallery will be harvested, starting from the originally announced posting date. If you submit your entries through gallery posts, it may be a longer time until they are submitted, but they will be submitted eventually.

We just ask that you don't do both form submissions and gallery post submissions for the same entry, or once the system is functional again, your entry will be duped.

[radiant hemlock]

Skitform 525.555.png: POKENAME is able to reorganize its molecules to suit its environment. In the snowy tundra, it grows a long, fluffy tail to wrap around its body and trap in heat.

[glossy magnet]

Oh no! I just submitted my eight gallery dex entries to the submission form about an hour ago!! Sorry! Should I delete them from my gallery posts or just let someone know so they won't get duped?

[hollow nimbus]

It would be helpful if you remove the dex portion from your gallery posts

Until the gallery dex entries are harvested, you can make any changes needed, allowing you time to make edits and removals as you feel is fit.

This will be true even when the system is operational, as the entries will be collected with the sprites at the end of the month.

[glossy magnet]

Thanks! Sorry again!

[hollow nimbus]

No prob

[hexed fog]

As always I request more pokemon used in remedies! Horns that are ground up, leaves used in salves, mucus cooked to syrup! Cure my burns, headaches and fevers!

[hollow nimbus]

If anyone needs remedies to unusual ailments, it's Izik

[hexed fog]

Truth

Oh and a cure for acid reflux

That'd be nice

[radiant hemlock]

Skitin 525.535.png: POKENAME’s usefulness and cute appearance make it a popular pet for beauty salons. Its highly corrosive stomach acid can be diluted into an effective treatment for skin blemishes.

[vivid spire]

Well well well… a hidden challenge. Here’s a nice home remedy made from Driflts:

#402.285: Ectoplasm from POKENAME is used in home remedies to decrease fever. Rumored to be sensitive towards the terminally ill, it actively seeks out hospitals to help the patients.

[terse pawn]

71.73
The sweet syrup-like venom that POKENAME produces to lure in prey has been used to create anesthesia. The paralyzing agent in the venom gets refined into a solution that helps put hospital patients to sleep and block pain.

[terse pawn]

45.71
Wild POKENAME would release a strong aroma from the leaf over their mouths to attract prey. These leaves have been used to make a kind of herbal tea that helps treat indigestion and constipation.

[round cave]

Can someone come up wit han entry for this one? I think I posted it close enough to the event that it could be submitted for Elusive Dex.

[hexed fog]

You guys rock

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/192.501/

POKENAME produces leaves that are harvested for its ability to neutralize stomach acid, which helps with acid reflux. It requires lots of sunlight and plenty of clean water to sprout big leaves.

[rich goblet]

I've been watching a lot of "How It's Made" videos and want to integrate fun facts into entries

I'm so sleepy right now though so I might try tomorrow

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/168.11/

POKENAME hangs from tree branches, attached to them with a sticky silk webbing. The webbing dissolves in water, which may cause it to fall onto the ground during a rainy season.

[terse pawn]

173.216
Many wild POKENAME gather together on the night of the full moon bringing Sitrus Berries to eat. They would feast until they're full and then sing until they rest at daybreak.

35.216
POKENAME often climb trees looking for fruit in the middle of the night. They will use Fling to hurl fruits at any approaching if they feel threatened.

36.217
Their acute sense of smell and hearing allows them to detect where ripe berries and streams of water are. Their light movements in the middle of the night allows them to move without being noticed.

[proven pier]

How about this for Luvsol?

POKENAME appears when it senses heartbreak. As a result, people have developed a hatred for it, causing it to seek solitude where its cries can be heard for miles.

[vivid spire]

Good entry, one correction would be “feel”, most scientific entries avoid using feel as a verb. I would replace it “be depressed” or “causing it to seek solitude where its cries can be heard for miles”

[vivid spire]

I have not given up on the grid of ideas, and thought maybe I could get a Porygon2 who fits in a fish tank. They all look like they’d float on the top of them, so I settled for Corgon2:

#222.233: POKENAME are found hovering around billboards advertising oceanic vacations. Used as natural filters for fish tanks, they have the uncanny ability to escape confinement by flickering through cyberspace.

[vivid spire]

One more, a Torterra fusion that works behind the movie scenes, Torziken:

#318.281: Naturally defensive, POKENAME take smaller Pokémon under their wing, protecting them against predators and teaching martial arts. When film sets need security, they generally use this Pokémon.

[terse pawn]

39.178
Wild POKENAME can be seen singing in monotone during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk. Their singing is actually a form of meditation.

40.178
The long ears of POKENAME are said to pick up sounds from other dimensions. When their ears begin to twitch rhythmically, they would let out a call when facing the sky as if they're responding to something.

[vivid spire]

I love it, but I think you can drop “when” and put a comma:

“let out a call, facing the sky”

Oh and separate they’re to they are

Personal warmup today, thought I would take a shot at writing Sharpvoir:

#437.287: Found replacing the figurehead on sunken ships, POKENAME sings a lilting melody, attracting in Water types. When they close in, it confuses its prey with a Water Pulse before finishing them with a vicious bite.

[terse pawn]

34.18
They have the ability to shoot feathers from their wings as if they are darts. Their feathers are coated with strong venom that can take down even the largest of Pokémon.

[rich goblet]

Question: Can I refer to Ouija Boards directly or should I use a more vague term?

Thanks in advance

[crimson ledge]

I'd recommend using the term 'spirit board', since Ouija is trademarked and more real life-specific.

[rich goblet]

Thank you!

[fresh gazelle]

how do I make this better written?
When threatened and in water, POKENAME uses the holes in its body to absorb water rapidly and shoot it from its mouth to propell itself. It fills its body with water to deal with warmer climates and shoot it at high pressures.

[vivid spire]

Okay, so let’s start with the first sentence. It is a little run-on-y.

My suggestion would be to change a bit of the sentence order. With how it’s currently written, before the first comma is unnecessary. My suggested change:

“When POKENAME is threatened, it absorbs water rapidly through the holes in its body, shooting the water from its mouth for propulsion.”

“To deal with warmer climates, it squirts hot water at high pressures.”

[fresh gazelle]

no no, to deal with warmer climates, it stores it, instead of shooting

(the second part)

but thank you very much!

When POKENAME is threatened, it absorbs water rapidly through the holes in its body, shooting it from its mouth for propulsion. It can store water on its body to deal with warmer climates

[fresh gazelle]

this better?

[vivid spire]

It looks great, another solid entry

[terse pawn]

250.483a
The orb within the staff can illuminate in seven colors. Wild POKENAME will use the power of their staves to ignite against the darkness.

249.483
They form their staves from taking Clampearl's pearl and transforming it with their power. They use their psychic abilities to calm the seas and rescue anyone that has been attacked by viscous Pokémon and pirates.

[median canopy]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to bring this up, but I was looking through the dex entries spreadsheet, and it looks like my entry for fusion 2.31 (Ivysaur/Nidoqueen) was used for both that fusion and a different fusion that I submitted an entry for, 3.14 (Venusaur/Kakuna)

"POKENAME's bulb needs more nutrients to bloom, so it roams in search of spots to soak up sunshine. It chases off Bug-types that prey on weaker Grass-type Pokémon."

This was posted for both fusions, even though it only applies to the first

The entry for the other was this: "The flower on its back took a tremendous amount of energy to bloom. POKENAME has to constantly use Harden to make up for its fragility."

[vivid spire]

The best place to report these sort of issues is in #custom-dex-errors , follow the pinned comment and say you wish for the entry only to apply to 2.31

[median canopy]

much obliged

[vivid spire]

You're welcome

[proven pier]

Good idea, I'll add that now 😄

[proven pier]

Actually I reworded it a little, how about:

POKENAME appears when it senses heartbreak, leading couples and trainers alike to develop a hatred for it. Consequently, it seeks solitude, and its cry can be heard from miles away.

[vivid spire]

Very good!

[rich goblet]

<@&1210701164426039366> Do Pokémon celebrate Christmas, or should I keep it vague like holiday festivals

[hollow nimbus]

Nope, FAQ says that there's no specific holidays

[rich goblet]

Oh I forgot the FAQ existed, thanks for the reminder 😄

[hollow nimbus]

||They celebrate Christmas in my heart, though 🎄 ||

[terse pawn]

I mean, Christmas is canon in the anime at least. Except Santa has Jynx instead of elves.

[summer saffron]

I think you should replace “they” with POKENAME in one of the instances

<@&1210701164426039366> Are there any special rules about feedback on contest entries? I want feedback on some entries I wrote but want to make sure I don't break any rules.

[vivid spire]

I have been receiving feedback in group because @midnight siren is in Team Ruby. Do you have any Unowns in group? If not, I do not believe there are rules preventing you from getting feedback here

[regal cedar]

i'm 70% sure you're free to discuss here? another unown help me out on this one

keep in mind for most (but not all) contest once you submit it's "locked in" or you need to ask someone to edit it or the like. may vary, make sure to check the rules

it may be specific to the contest

[rich goblet]

I getcha, one shot and all

[jagged ledge]

You can discuss with other people, but not a formal review with Unowns. Also Unowns that participate can't judge.

[regal cedar]

Oh, yes, exactly.

Formal ones, in the case of these contests in particular.

[vivid spire]

Should have mentioned @midnight siren said they’re participating in the contest

[regal cedar]

which one?

[vivid spire]

Dex writing

[ebon warren]

So it isn't written anywhere but it follows a normal "conflict of interest" procedure: anyone that is judging an event cannot comment on or be solicited for advice regarding anything being submitted to the event. That's a conflict for the judge.
This event has teams and it may vary by each individual contest, so keep that in mind. For example, I help with the #1240773622612889681 so I do NOT comment on any entries or sprites for it until after the submission deadline is closed. (We DO allow revisions to one or both, hence why I wait until that is no longer possible.)
Make sense?

[regal cedar]

Yeah! If you're ever unsure, check with the contest runners, for future reference!

Delibird/Arceus
225.315.png
POKENAME celebrate winter holiday festivals in remote towns and villages across the world, spreading joy and good will. They never remain in one place for long, making them nearly impossible to study.

Arceus/Metapod
315.11.png
Despite its diminutive state, POKENAME protects other wild Pokémon by manipulating time and space to redirect attacks. It is careful not to draw attention to itself because it is vulnerable in its soft cocoon.

Arceus/Chansey
315.113.png
POKENAME takes orphaned eggs and raises them itself because of its maternal instincts. After the eggs hatch, POKENAME helps them integrate back into the wild, so the adopted Pokémon does not feel lonely.

[sharp cloud]

[sharp cloud]

500.315
POKENAME has a very caring and protective nature towards Carbink, and travels between worlds to visit and bless them. It is merciless towards those that attack Carbink, whether provoked or not, and will unleash its wrath upon the attackers.

295.470
In this form, POKENAME is held together by remnants of the keystone. If they were to be removed from the body, the souls absorbed by this POKENAME will be scattered across neighboring realms.

The last entry I feel the last bit “so it does not feel lonely is confusing. Is it the Arceus fusion or the Pokémon it adopted?

[rich goblet]

Oh that's a good point! Thanks for pointing that out, one moment

[rich goblet]

How does it travel between worlds, also is that possible in PIF? I don't know so it might need a second opinion

[sharp cloud]

I mean doesn't necrozma just make wormhole and just goes?

[vivid spire]

Looking for feedback on my entries as well:

#315.212 Arczor: It is said POKENAME has the ability to rewrite reality, however it chooses to shape metal into impenetrable armor. Sightings, while rare, involve seeing it airborne, clamping raw ores in its claws and smithing them into new elemental plates.

#315.287 Arcvoir: POKENAME controls the law of gravity allowing them to crush threats, from individual Pokémon to entire villages. While elusive, they have been known to bond strongly with Trainers and protect these humans by taking them through wormholes.

#450.354 Necropunny: Any location POKENAME appears at becomes shrouded in darkness, as its skin absorbs light for energy. Its clawed ears are strong enough to cause devastating earthquakes, whereas its psychic mind can crush continents.

[rich goblet]

Oh it does? I didn't know that eheh

[sharp cloud]

Idk anime lore i roughly remember

[vivid spire]

Like The Code:

[rich goblet]

I think the first entry, first sentence could use work.

Maybe something like 'Despite its ability to rewrite reality, it prefers to shape metal into armor'

[vivid spire]

Like so?

Despite POKENAME's ability to rewrite reality, it prefers to shape metal into impenetrable armor. Sightings, while rare, involve seeing it airborne, clamping raw ores in its claws and smithing them into new elemental plates.

[rich goblet]

The second sentence doesn't feel focused enough for me. There's a lot of ideas that don't gel well

I think you can focus on the ore and plates bit with nix the sightings. A dex entry doesn't have to hold everything the pokemon can do

[vivid spire]

How about this?

While airborne, it summons raw ores, clamping them in its claws and smithing them into new elemental plates.

[rich goblet]

I still think the airborne bit doesn't add much, but it is grammatically correct

I think

(I am horrible at grammar take it with a huge grain of salt)

[vivid spire]

Understood, I think I have a style alternative for it

Trying to hard for the divine Arceus angle

It reaches into the earth, summoning raw ores, pulling them free in its claws, then smiths them into new elemental plates.

Any thoughts on the other two entries, Duck? I like having your set of eyes on it

[rich goblet]

I think there is more than one law of gravity, so "laws of gravity" makes more sense. You can connect the first sentence to the second by adding something like "crush threats against its trainer"

[vivid spire]

I agree with Laws of Gravity, however I think adding the second part might go over the character limit

[rich goblet]

Yeah it'd probably put you over, d'oh

[vivid spire]

Any thoughts on the last entry?

[rich goblet]

I genuinely don't know the Pokemon Necrozma enough to help out

It looks fine?

[vivid spire]

Thank you for your feedback!

[rich goblet]

Of course

[fluid girder]

[hollow nimbus]

If the airborne part is supposed to lend some setting to the entry, you could change it to something that more directly addresses that, such as 'high among the stars' or something else that matches the gravity of the situation (no pun intended)

[hexed fog]

I would love to see some entries about pokemon that eat, cultivate or use flowers! Preferably roses, lilies, violets or hydrangeas

[vivid spire]

You asked, I can’t resist. Say hello to Luvoir:

#477.287: Nicknamed Nature's Florist, POKENAME dances in dying meadows, attracting pollinators. Using unknown powers, Violets sprout under their feet’s as more Pokémon are brought to the area, making beautiful natural arrangements.

[vivid spire]

Another brainwave, though outside of the flowers mentioned, Bellqueen:

#182.31: Native to tropical shores, POKENAME tends to flowering Birds of Paradise. When rowdy Water types invade their home, these Pokémon call down a storm of razor sharp petals, rushing forward after to bowl the foes back to sea.

[fluid girder]

[wanton canopy]

POKENAME holds immense power and if it attacks you, it won't stop slicing until none of your cells are left. When POKENAME needs more energy, it will cut through stars and absorb their core, even if a planet with life orbited it, as it would do anything to not reverse back to it's weaker form

Does the absorbing stars part count as contradicting the game lore?

I haven't really played ultra sun and moon

POKENAME incantations put targets on a constant spin, it seens they use it to have a dance partner rather than cause any harm.

i dont make entries but elusive asks one

[scenic badge]

The first POKENAME was said to be full of goodness and empathy but after witnessing countless heartbreaks this pain manifested to denial of love and spread to the whole species. If any POKENAME runs into a couple they become violent.

wanted to use it for the dexslog but it has to many repeats letter and only 11 unique starting letters

POKENAME was thought to just be a plushy of quagsire until recently. Scientist theorize it took that shape to be love by childrens

13 letters

better then the luvdisc fusion with 11

I don't know if it fits the dexlog

[rugged socket]

Maybe something like - The first POKENAME was said to be full of goodness and empathy but after witnessing countless heartbreaks this pain manifested to denial of love and spread to the whole species. If any POKENAME runs into a couple they become violent.

Community DexSlog: Mimikyu/Big grin sprite - Mimikyu/Arbok

POKENAME has inspired several horror films as it has an uncanny ability to completely deflate its body. Films take many liberties with this, to the point where many people believe that POKENAME can turn into sand and reform.

[rich goblet]

https://www.fusiondex.org/10.234/

POKENAME eat brightly colored flowers that grow on bushes, which dye their antlers red. Sometimes their antlers get stuck in bushes, causing them to cry for help.

[timber flower]

POKENAME secretes a thick colourful substance from its tail tip, which it uses to paint false eyes on its hood to intimidate potential predators. The fluid is incredibly toxic and acts as another line of defence.

[clear hollow]

Known as the Emperor of the Seas in some cultures, this ruthless Pokémon is capable of creating underwater earthquakes powerful enough to cause giant tsunamis, should its pride be hurt. The trident-like ring on its back is able to attract storms.

I'd really appreciate some feedback, if there's anything to fix!

I'm not sure if the second sentence sounds good enough, but dunno what to change

[rugged socket]

It should be should its pride be hurt but otherwise that's a really cool entry!

[clear hollow]

Oh right, thanks! I'll edit it
