New Forms for Johto and Sinnoh Mascot Legendary Pokemon

I Meme Everything

With Primal Reversion for Groudon and Kyogre, and Mega Evolution for Rayquaza, the Weather Trio is the first mascot trio to receive new forms in the main series games. Today, I'll be going over what the new forms for the Johto and Sinnoh mascot legendaries should get.

Ho-Oh and Lugia

I think that Ho-Oh and Lugia should get Shadow forms. Shadow Pokemon was a concept introduced in Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. Shadow Lugia was introduced in that game, so I would like this concept in a main series game. Also, if Lugia got a Shadow form, Ho-Oh deserves one as well. However, the mechanics for Shadow forms would be different in a main series game. The Pokemon would have to hold an item, like with Mega Evolution and Primal Reversion. For Ho-Oh, I came up with the Shadow Charcoal, and for Lugia, I came up with the Shadow Shell. Here are the stats for each:

Shadow Ho-Oh

Type: Fire/Ghost

HP: 106

Attack: 170

Defense: 125

Special Attack: 110

Special Defense: 154

Speed: 115

BST: 780

Ability: Drought

Shadow Lugia

Type: Ghost/Flying

HP: 106

Attack: 140

Defense: 130

Special Attack: 140

Special Defense: 154

Speed: 110

BST: 780

Ability: Filter

Now that we're done with the Johto mascots, let's move on to Sinnoh.

Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina

Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina should get Primal Reversions. Primal Dialga was the final boss of PMD Explorers. That's right; Dialga was Primal BEFORE it was cool, so step aside, Kyogre and Groudon. And, of course, it's only fair if Palkia and Giratina get Primals as well. They would have to hold their respective orbs to achieve these forms. The new forms would be how powerful they were when they created the universe. Let's go over their stats:

Primal Dialga

Type: Dragon/Steel

HP: 100

Attack: 150

Defense: 130

Special Attack: 180

Special Defense: 130

Speed: 90

Primal Palkia

Type: Dragon/Water

HP: 130

Attack: 130

Defense: 120

Special Attack: 180

Special Defense: 120

Speed: 100

BST: 780

Ability: Ability: Hyperspace (This Pokemon removes hazards upon switching in and also ignores all opponents' abilities)

Primal Giratina

Type: Dragon/Ghost

HP: 150

Attack: 150

Defense: 150

Special Attack: 100

Special Defense: 150

Nice.

I Meme Everything

^Which form is your favourite?

Ultrazero80

Primal Groudon.

I Meme Everything

^No, I meant out of Ho-Oh, Lugia, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina

Ultrazero80

Oh well I think it would be Primal Dialga.

I Meme Everything

^Huh, I thought your favourite Gen 4 legendary was Palkia.

My personal favourite is Primal Giratina. But then again, what would you expect from someone whose profile picture is Giratina?

Ultrazero80

Palkia's my favorite, but I just really like the colors on Primal Dialga.

I Meme Everything

^Yeah, it's beautiful. Not to mention that Primal Dialga is grossly OP with the Time Rupture ability, which negates the recharge turn for Roar of Time, making it absolutely devastating

I Meme Everything

140 Base Speed on Primal Palkia is a bit OP...

I Meme Everything

There. I nerfed it to 100 and increased its HP instead.

Something Real

TYRANT - How very nice! I greatly enjoy looking at each of the creatures you have presented in this post! Rayquaza is still my favorite! :)

I Meme Everything

^Thanks. Which is your favourite out of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina?
