I love this design even though I'm bias towards lizards. This is definitely going to my team.

 

[Rafavert]

Unless he has some massive bulk, those are all major common attack types (both physical and special) and that 4x EQ weakness is just going to be brutal or every single one of these things is going to need an Air Balloon.

Ya he's a huge check against fairies (except Sylveon, probably) but he's super exposed. And the steel types that he can poison will probably all have EQ or are Scissor.

What does Scissor have that helps it against Salandit?

 

[CNCOMICS]

Creepy as hell with a unique setup, this will definitely be one of my mains when I get back into Pokemon.

this shit is hilarious it needs to be re-emphasized

For a kid-friendly franchise, Pokemon has some of the darkest descriptions I've ever encountered. Wish there was a spin-off game or novel that could dig into some of them.

 

[Golden Slumbers]

This dude'll be on my team

 

[Unicorn]

Oh fuuuuuuck a new poison type. Instantly sold! Can poison everyone. I NEEEEED him!

 

[WrenchNinja]

That's a sick ability

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

Gotta love those horrifying implications. Gonna put this one on the same team as cacturne.

 

[Bishop89]

Gliscor would be a nice counter right?

Heatran would be better

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I think I'm going to give it this movelist.

Salandit female

Fire Fang Sludge Wave
Attract Toxic

 

[Loco4Coco]

GameFreak is killing it with the pokemon this gen! Also that ability is so good, hopefully it evolves.

It'd be cool if it evolved into a Komodo dragon or something like that

 

[Loco4Coco]

Yes!

 

[SkullHydra]

I need fanart of Salandit and Scraggy being best friends, and I need it now!

It'd be cool if it evolved into a Komodo dragon or something like that

I need this! The saliva of Komodo Dragons being poisonous is so perfect!

 

[Faenix1]

Will there be a chart before release all

X pokemon are exclusive to X game, while Y pokemon are exclusive to Y game or does that usually happen after release? I can't remember how lon it was until that info was out for X/Y

 

[TWILT]

Yo dat ability tho

Looks cool. Hope it's evos look even better.

 

[RomanceDawn]

So cool and actually kind of scary looking when it stares at you head on.

A Komodo Dragon evolution would be fitting with the poisonous theme zince their mouths are known for being so dirty a bite is basically toxic like being poisoned. Though hopefully if it gets some Komodo influence it still stays an amphibian.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Heatran would be better

Heatran can get poisoned whereas Gliscor has Poison Heal so he wants to be poisoned.

 

[Vena]

What does Scissor have that helps it against Salandit?

On further thought, not much. And this thing is actually a pretty good potential check against those three Bug or Grass/Steel walls. Ferrothorn doesn't have anything immediately obvious either. Also checks Skarmory pretty well.

That said this is yet another thing that may make Gliscor even more desirable.

 

[J@hranimo]

Oh i had one of these things growing up

Nah! Make a Komodo dragon Pokémon with an ability that poisons the opponent whenever he uses a bite move.

i believe if a pokemon is going to be exclusive to one game say will say it when it 's revealed along side a pokemon that's exclusive to the other game

it could just have Strong Jaw

 

[MasterSheen]

People sleeping on this mon I see. Having a 4x weakness to a common attack type doesn't necessarily mean that it will be difficult to use. Heatran is a very good pokemon, for example.

Unless he has some massive bulk, those are all major common attack types (both physical and special) and that 4x EQ weakness is just going to be brutal or every single one of these things is going to need an Air Balloon.

Ya he's a huge check against fairies (except Sylveon, probably) but he's super exposed. And the steel types that he can poison will probably all have EQ or are Scissor.

Not that Steel types are all safe because, you know, part fire

That's hardly new =p

 

[papertoonz]

That's hardly new =p

not all new pokemon need a new ability

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

So far my team that I have planned covers six typings

Grass/flying
Fire/poison
Electric/steel

Come on gamefreak now I need a great water Pokemon

 

[mStudios]

It's beatiful

 

[Rafavert]

not all new pokemon need a new ability

True, but isn't a Komodo Mon capable of poisoning the foe whenever it uses a biting attack much more interesting than a Komodo Mon with boosted power on biting attacks?

 

[Zaventem]

Looks pretty reserved in design. Much preferred to overly spiky shit so i'm happy. Also Skarmory got poisoned? i thought steel types were immune.

 

[Kitzilla]

Grunt Pokemon confirmed.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

I like how it has a stocking cover on its face like a bandit lol

 

[Aaronrules380]

It's ability is called corrosive. Lets it poison pokemon regardless of type, so it can poison steel and poison types who are normally immune to the status

 

[Majukun]

fire-poison was a kind of type i wanted for a while.

 

[SkullHydra]

That's Salandit's ability. Corrosion means nothing is safe from it's Poison.

EDIT: Dang it, Aaron.

not really, not when poison fang is a thing

 

[.JayZii]

I like it. Especially its little bandit mask and Snidley Whiplash and Muttley smirk.

 

[freoleo29]

If this thing is a special attacker then Gliscor is not a counter, Hp ice may OHKO it

 

[MulderYuffie]

i'm okay with it doesn't look bad.

 

[Rafavert]

not really, not when poison fang is a thing

Poison Fang has a 20% chance of poisoning and applies toxic poison. Not really what I'm suggesting.

 

[MaximumSpider]

INSTANT SPOT ON MY TEAM! I LOVE LIZARDS!

 

[Vital Tundra]

Sitting on its design im starting to love his design to the point that he is my favorite so far. Hope he turns out as good as Krookodile, thats my boy.

 

[Aaronrules380]

INSTANT SPOT ON MY TEAM! I LOVE LIZARDS!

It's an amphibian though

 

[Garjon]

Hmm with Corrosion, I wonder if some Poison-type (eg Acid Spray) moves will now become super effective on Steel types. It'd certainly reduce the usefulness of Ferrothorn.

To be honest, I never understood Poison being completely ineffective on Steel.

 

[Orochinagis]

Looks like a super venomous frog trolling as a normal harmless salamander

 

[Garjon]

If this thing is a special attacker then Gliscor is not a counter, Hp ice may OHKO it

It's pokedex seems to indicate it being more of a technical mon than a wallbreaker, though Pokedex descriptions don't exactly translate into stat distribution!

 

[papertoonz]

50% and so what? it's pretty much does what your saying and strong jaw would let it use other options

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

This is definitely the bad guys Pokemon in this game so I'm getting poisoned a lot so

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I'm looking at you pidgeot
Mach 5 my ass

 

[Obscuritas]

Poison damages organic things, and steel is cleary not organic. I know, not all steel pokemons are robots like Beldum, but they are still covered by metals and that prevents the poison from making effect. "Corrosion" makes more sense, cause it gives the idea that the poison is able to go more deeper and bypass their metal armor.

 

[papertoonz]

I'm looking at you pidgeot
Mach 5 my ass

and yet still not even the fastest gen 1 pokemon

 

[Zaventem]

To be honest, I never understood Poison being completely ineffective on Steel.

Well i saw it as steel types not being "organic" so it always made sense to me.
