No. 773: Silvally

It's a well-known anime fact that dramatically removing a helmet or mask increases your power tenfold.

Why wasn't this just a form? Or Mega-Evolution? Dude just removed some headgear, that's it. And the chicken head underneath looks actually kinda cool, until you realize he's got cat ears thrown in for good measure, and a dozen other superfluous details. btw that metal visor? Digimon as heck.

Also, was the "can be any time" gimmick really so awesome they had to do it twice? Like yeah Arceus cool cool I get it whatever. But we done that, so why are we doing it again? Silvally is practically a Legendary anyway, he's just a shitty Arceus.

Sorry, dude. I'm more interested in what the hell Pokemon you took those grasshopper ass lookin' legs from, than whatever monster mash you've got going on. But at least you ditched the headgear.


Overall: 3/10

  1. 'Das the whole point tho'. It's supposed to be a synthetic bioengineered Arceus.
    The Aether Foundation created a mecha-god to fight the Ultra Beasts for them should the need be.

  2. Silvally is supposed to be a failed clone of Arceus, like a chimera-type created from a bunch of jumbled parts of other Pokemon. Its design is kind of a mess, but it all ties into the really interesting and rich lore surrounding it, so I feel like you're giving it a bad rap here.

  3. Yeah, that's kind of a point, it's supposed to be a failed variation of Arceus. That helmet was for power restraining.
