No. 951: Capsakid

 Green Hot Chili Peppers

I was so happy when I caught Capsakid (after I realized that I wasn't looking at a random green bean zooming around near my ankles) because of two things:

One, he looks like a little freak. There's some avian features going on, like a beak and possibly an eggshell on his head? But at the same time, not really. He's just an abstract weirdo, and I want more of that back in Pokemon.

Two: He's a pepper. People have yearned for the forbidden Grass/Fire typing for years, and chili peppers is a common answer. You see it in fakemon designs all the time. To see Gamefreak doing it themselves? Hell yeah!

With that said, the single tooth bothers me. You already have a perfectly good beak, either bend that down further to complete the silhouette, or dispense with it entirely.

Overall: 7/10
