No. 952: Scovillain

 two heads are worse than one

Scovillain artwork by Ken Sugimori
Well, that was disappointing. I do applaud Scovillain for the typing, the overall concept, and for bringing back the iconic Gen 1 Single White Toenail, but dear lord are there problems here. The biggest one is that those necks look ready to snap right off. I know plant stems are pretty skinny, but surely it would look better to taper in the opposite direction? (it's not just a quirk of the artwork's perspective, either - they're actually modeled that way)

Almost as important is the bizarre way those lower teeth are cutting through their jaws. I guess the teeth are supposed to be like pepper seeds, but uh... are pepper seeds known for poking through the pepper like that? It looks painful at best, and if it wasn't for the artwork I would have assumed they were a model clipping issue.


See? Now was that so hard? In my version, the red head is always the one to shoot Fire attacks, and the green head always does Grass attacks. Also it gets Drought as a hidden ability. But alas, the perfect ideal can never exist. So we are left with the flawed reality.


Overall: 6/10
