Just make it Electric/Dark and it'll fix 90% of the problems with it.

Why does it matter. Only KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and the Shillmons from later are ever marketed

They're still making Pokémon designs with this philosophy.

>>58042540 (OP)
can you please just make a regional variant thats half dark type and trade special attack and special defense for more attack please. Luxray is cool I look back and realize I used Luxray quite a bit and finding a shiny shinx like 20 minutes into violet cemented this shitter into my lil guys I like folder. Same thing happened with hoppip I got a shiny and used him just for support and debuff shit even though he's a shitter. It will never happen with sunkern though.

[Sunkern sheds a single tear while keeping its usual happy face]

uhm don't you know that it really needs STAB crunch?
please ignore that it's saddling it with more weaknesses that it doesn't need, including some obscure moves such as u-turn and close combat

if anything it should be electric/fairy as that type is associated with light, and fairy is generally a good typing

lmao

light is associated with psychic
see: necrozma, solgaleo, and lunala

>>58042607
It's black.
Everyone knows everything black is evil.

>>58043767
yeah electric/psychic would be an improvement for it too over either pure electric or electric/dark

>>58043774
everything blue is cold
make it electric/ice

>>58042540 (OP)
Imagine it getting an ice/electric regional form

>>58043767
Psychic is associated with SPACE, not light
All those Pokemon are space/ultra space related

>>58043822
Photon Geyser is Psychic-type tho

>Do not give the design scary
Does it have anything that parents could complain

Pokemon were made on the simpler side generally speaking so as to avoid the trap of creating something that looks more like a character than a creature.
