No. 944: Shroodle

oodles of shroodles

Now what am I looking at here, exactly

Shroodle looks like the head of some larger character, but they cut off the body and just stuck a few tiny feets to the bottom of it. And even if I accept this creature whose eyes are so preposterously large they could not each be contained within the same small body, what's going on with the nose situation? I guess those are buckteeth, dipped in purple venom, but they look like boogers hanging on the end of the nose.

And it's Poison/Normal at the end of all that hideousness? Get away from me with your tiny tuft of hair.


Overall: 2/10

  1. Someone please explain the reasoning behind making a poison normal type literally all it does is neutralize one of its resistances

  2. according to the pokedex they're teeth

    I don't like this pokemon
    It's rare I genuinely distaste a pokemon but the design Is just so weird and was based off a hyper specific thing. the evolution doesn't look connected and It doesn't look anything like the rodents bulbapedia says It could be Inspired by

    I just don't get this mon. I think of a decapitated salandit

    1. I know you didn't like It but I think smeargle executed this better, maybe by virtue of my sister liking It back then. I think a paintbrush tail makes a lot more sense than... teeth?

      Grafaiai Is fine honestly but I think shroodle SUCKS

    2. in retrospect, Smeargle clears this entire line no problem. Alas, what I have written, I have written.
