Moveset required for Wyvital, Wyvernal and Wyvernate; Ghost/Dragon, pseudolegendary, evolving at levels 25 and 50. Wyvernate has to be able to know Lick, Dragon Claw, Dragon Breath and Twister somehow. Changes to the original design include spindly little back-claw-arms on Wyvital, and larger ones on Wyvernal; the spikes on Wyvernate's wings are extended and enlarged to match.

What gen can I go up to? I should be able to write something up in the next couple of days providing you can give a bit more info on what you want RE strengths/weaknesses
Gen3, and I'm thinking high ATK, SP. ATK and SPD, with low defenses and middling HP. Relatively speaking, anyway, its BST is 600 at the end of the line.

Okay so I'm guessing it'll be a frontline fighter, not support.

Pretty much THE frontline fighter, yeah.

I don't think I've ever seen a defensive / support oriented pseudolegendary though. Well, maybe Metagross, but his defense was just a side effect of having a sweet defensive typing and high defense.

Every pseudolegendary ever in the vanilla games have excelled in attack, with the exception of Hydreigon, who has good attack, but excels in sp.atk.

...you make a good point there, actually. I might have to do something about that.

In accordance with the above observation regarding defensive pseudolegendaries, the mon based on the Golden Tortoise Beetle is now a pseudolegendary; its preevolution is available as a post-Champion gift event, and neither one is available anywhere else.

Because a lot of what you don't see in the games is that they have a secret balance between the types. (For example, Bugs are meant to get to max power very quickly. Normals have large elemental variety of learned attacks. I think also Ghosts tend to be "light")

A Semi-legendary (a term I dislike... as it refers to the three evolution pokemon that are very powerful in each game and usually a dragon) cannot be a defensive support because that breaks the theme where they are supposed to be on par with the starters.

At the same time however Pokemon does break its own rules all the time.

Current base stats for the starter lines:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm going to go with my understanding of starter mechanics. It usually goes Tanky mon > Frail speedster > all rounder. EG: Torterra was tanky, Infernape was frail speedster and Empoleon had nicely rounded stats. I like the base stats on them, but I think the final ones need a bit of tidying up to bring their specialised stats into sharper relief.

Stormane's stats seem kinda frail to me. Don't know why. Defensively it has 84-89-84, so it's presumably (typing willing) an allrounder. Offensively it's 84-90-103, so its offense only just edges out its defense. I'd give it 84-79-74 and change its speed to 123.

Verminuke's stats look pretty tasty. I'd say that with its 98-109-109 you intend it to be a good support/tank mon.

Paniconda's 96-111-85 is very nice. I'd say its stats are very good as is.

Well, typewise Stormane is a special attacker in terms of offense, since this is gen3, but it is intended to have balanced stats with high speed.

Verminuke is indeed a tank. Since its speed is so low, its moveset will also include Revenge.

EDIT: Tweaked the stats to match the limits I set. Apparently even with a calculator I can fail math at 2am. Editing the list soon.

Pretty much THE frontline fighter, yeah.

K. its just that im not sure what to do with the usually aggresive Dragon type and the more subtle Ghost type. Trying to find a set of moves that'll fit them. How do you feel about having Sword Dance AND Dragon Dance? I was thinking about also giving it of couple of Flying type moves and MAYBE Dark type, but I really don't know much about the pokemon in general. Will it have any special abilities? What kind of environment would it be found in? Frm that I can determine its moves. Not enough information.

Ability is Pressure, environment is way deep in a high mountain cave. Swords Dance and Dragon Dance would probably only both be available to the final form. I'm basically making this up as I go, since the person who came up with it is almost never available to talk to about it.

Couple too many moves, yeah, but otherwise it's looking pretty good! Except I don't think there are any Pokemon that learn HM moves naturally?
