Design a new psychic-type Pokémon!

Posted by Ford James in Pokémon

Psychic-type Pokémon are some of the coolest in the whole franchise. Alakazam? Badass. Xatu? Noble. Munna? Adorable. This bounty is your chance to design a new psychic-type to (theoretically) join the ranks!

Previous iterations of this bounty permitted text-based entries, but for this one, we want you to get creative! Only submissions with a visual mockup of your psychic type Pokémon are eligible for a prize, and alongside designing your Pokémon, we want you to consider the finer details too: give it a name, consider if it has a dual-type, its evolutionary chain, moveset, and more. Note that AI generated images are forbidden and will be ineligible for a prize.

The very best new psychic-type Pokémon will win $15, with $10 going to second place and $5 to third. Don't forget to verify any images on social media!

Another family art evening, but this time we’re experimenting with a new drawing gadget – the S Pen. I know, it looks terrible, and we ran out of space to add moves and evolutions, but we’re continuing to explore new possibilities! The concept was a collaborative effort by the whole family, with the sketch done by me and the skillful colouring by my son.

This fun project inspired the creation of Psykarrot, a Psychic/Grass Pokemon, and though it’s not perfect, it’s all part of the process of bringing new ideas to life.

Type: Psychic/Grass

Alanim is the base Pokémon with 2 evolutions, 1st is the Seragan and the 2nd is the Thronan. They are inspired in the angels described in the bible of the Christianity religion and Pokemóns like Lugia, Arceus and Unown. All the Pokemon stages are Psychic and Flying types and theirs wings allow them to flight some meters above the ground.

They mais powers are focused in healing and predictions, like the "Healing Wish" and "Forewarn". The last evolution will receive an special ability, the "clairvoyance", that will allow the Pokémon to predict the moves of the opponents, it is a move that can be used 5 times only and when used the Pokémon will, by random, get the status of this ability on 1 to 3 turns.

The Flying abilities are way less common but they will have abilities like "Air Cutter" and "Feather Dance".

But telling about the story behind the origin of the Pokémon I though like it be ancients creatures from legends like the the legends of Arceus and they were created after the birth of Arceus and worked for him to keep the balance in the universe.

Mysteon.

My new Pokemon is an evolution from Eevee. It can be evolved by leveling up while holding a Psychic Shard during the day in a location with strong psychic energy like near a psychic type gym or at a specific mystical site.

It has the ability to synchronise so when Nysteon is affected by a status condition, the opponent is inflicted with the same condition. It also has a hidden ability with is Magic Guard. The means that Mysteon only takes damage from attach negating any damage from weather, status conditions of recoils.

Some stats for you below!

HP 60
Attack 60
Defense 65
Spc attack 130
Spc defence 95
Speed 110

Signature move

Name: Mind veil
Type: psychic
Category: special
Power: 90
Accuracy: 100
PP: 10
Effect: the user creates a psychic veil that protects it from status conditions for 5 turns. During this time, the users special defence is also increased by 1 stage at a time.

Some additional moves include Psychic, Calm Mind, Dazzling Gleam, Shadow Ball, Future Sight, Reflect, Light Screen, Psyshock and Moonblast.

I wanted the look of Mysteon to be sleek and elegant. A form that embodies the ethereal nature. I feel like my design combines elegance, mystery and mystical attributes that is expected of a psychic type Pokemon while also staying true to the Eeveelution design principles.
