man, i keep coming back to look at the head. I made a Final Fantasy X Aeon with the same head shape and ive never been able to recreate despite my deep desire to return to that design, and yet you so effortlessly managed to ace it.
Man i miss that design

The head was the first thing I imagined when I was thinking of streamlining Warvern. It's just a cool dragonic/maybe monsterbird head shape, I guess that was my stroke of luck!
Man you definitely have the skills - I think you should revisit it! I'd love to see that!

I think I can't really stress how much I liked the whole change of this variant, it's simply so well detailed and so biologically correct! I don't dislike Alolan forms (though A-Raichu could have a better explanation) but if every Alolan form (or whaterver future regional variation) were like this I would love every single one!
Also, the idea of Decisive Blitz is really cool!

I might have gone overboard with the psuedoscience behind it xD
I think I can get away with that in this case mostly due Fighting and Flying as types are the most 'realistic' types. In the sense that they rely on the application of body parts to do techniques (even the wind based moves are in most cases done by manipulating the air flow with wings). Not as supernatural as say, fire or psychic. A lot of the existing alolan forms have minute physical changes but can have drastic shifts in type, which lends me to believe Pokémon don't necessarily need to adapt their general physical traits too much if their type can compensate - you see this with the more 'supernatural' types.
Before I go on an incomprehensible tangent, I just wanted to say thanks! I actually liked A-Raichu since I see it as a nod to the blue-eyed Pikachu (Puka) episode in season 1 of the anime. I just don't like its ears Dx (Being shell based is neat, but they just look weird to me)
I liked the idea of Gale Wings but wanted a bit of a strategic element to it, Decisive Blitz was the answer I came up with. I'm not sure how viable an ability it is, but I'm glad you like it!

Oh well, you're pretty right, if it isn't a change that relies so much in the physical then it wouldn't need so many changes in that part. But what can I say ? I enjoyed so much the whole explanation of the change!
You're welcome! I like it too (in fact more than the regular Raichu, it's really cute!) but I don't like that the most probable reason of it's change is told as "It could be thanks to eating pancakes" haha
I don't think that Decisive Blitz would be an abusable ability like many others, but it could be useful in long battles to take advantage of that priority when both sides have been throwing attacks and walling them effectively so the battle doesn't change until some player makes a drastic change or the pokémon start running out their PP.
Also, thank you so much for the watch!

I tried to do Warvern justice - hopefully I did!
I'm glad I'm not judging for this contest, I feel especially the top 3 are gonna be such close calls. Everyone did really well this round!

This wasn't the original design I was going to submit too, I spent the last 2 nights after work revamping this guy because of the other entries - especially yours and JWNuts' entries. That's why I'm pretty late T_T
