I converted my speculative species into a thematically fitting normal/poison Pokemon.

Venom Bite is the only custom move.
Physical, poison, 120 power, 70% accuracy and 30% chance to poison the target.
It’s supposed to be poison variant of the Gen 2 Thunder.

No actual rom hack was done. This was a cheeky video edit, but all of the stats, sprite and flavor texts are within the original game constraints. Gen 2 Pokemon have 10 character limit so “Maned dragon” had to be abbreviated.

I scaled the IVs and EVs referring to my L73 Vaporeon, so every stat should be plausible and moves in the video is what Manedragon would have in wild.
They’re not optimized for anything.

It prefers to hunt
alone and is ready
to strike with its
venom. Yet it
forms unique bonds
with its own kind.

Its venomous bite
can defeat larger
prey than itself.
Despite its name
and looks it's not
a true dragon.

    Pretty good work with the design on the original spec species, the idea of adapting it into something like Normal/Poison feels sound.

    Any particular reason why you used the G2 Pokédex style (and limitations)?
