These days I'm feeling void of imagination, so I focus on little things. One of these things was to rework Plusle and Minun into a single, stronger, and more visually diverse pokemon. While drawing this, I discovered that if you read their species and pokedex entries, Plusle and Minun are cheerleading pokemon, something that isn't apparent by their design as they are generic-pikaclones at best. This of course doesn't mean they aren't cute (they are cute af imo) but I wanted some sweet justice for their designs. So... here's Cheearge (cheering+charge) combining both of them, giving them pom poms and fusing their coloschemes. Also added some details like the stripes on the back and near their eyes so that they could resemble chipmunks in a way. Plus, I thought that you could have rows and pyramids of Cheearge dancing like cheerleaders with their negative side touching their positive side.

Statistically speaking, I made both its ATK and DEF, and SAT and SDE the same balancing out Plusle and Minun's different stat distribution, and added a little boost to the speed.
HP       60
ATK   50
DEF   50
SAT 85
SDE 85
SPD 100
TOT   430
As for the abilities, their second ability would be Lightning Rod, while their hidden would be Volt Absorb. As for their first ability, I would completely ditch Plus and Minus as abilities and create the ability Magnet Catch (name subject to change). In a double battle, if two pokemon out in battle both have the ability Magnet Catch, their SAT and SDE increase by 50%. Additionally, but I don't know about this one, it could have some use in single battles as well, as if a pokemon with Magnet Catch is fighting a wild pokemon that is Electric or Steel, the chances of catching that pokemon increase by 10 or 20%. I'm no mathematician and I'm not that well documented in pokemon's math and calculations, so I don't know how much broken this would be, but I think (with the right tweaks) it could be interesting to have an ability that interacts with the game in a way we haven't seen before. Of course, the ability will replace, and will be limited, to the pokemon that had Plus or Minus.

Let me know what you think of this redesign!
