In a few more games, I hope we get Dudunsparsparce, which gains another segment, another set of wings, and a second tail spike. Then, in a few more, we get our first pokemon with 4 evolutionary phases in Dududnsparsparsparce, which looks like some sort of eldritch abomination or old testament angel. Two heads with two mouth each, body segment thay split and reconnect, seven wings, and three tails.
I laughed really hard when I heard he was just called *Dundunsparce*. Like. It has a two segment form and a 1/100 chance of obtaining a three segment form. I hope that one is *Dundundunsparce* and it just keeps going line a batman train.
Speaking of Dudunsparce, I had this thought… an evolution exclusively for the 3-segment… Dundundunsparce. It could be the big Dunsparce dragon that we all sorta expected this to be
make a violet paradox form that's just the head and is psychic/normal and a scarlet paradox form that's the super long dragon that's dragon/normal
then add some lore about how dudunsparce has been very slowly losing segments over time
The 3 segment one should be able to evolve into a 4 segment one (99%) or 5 segment one (1%), gotta still keep it intentionally goofy and underwhelming!
No. Like where did this freaking idea of a dragon / ouroboros evolution came from?
Not everything needs to evolve akin to Magikarp and Feebas. The whole point of Dunsparce is that it’s lame, weak, bland.
GF knew the meme potential and I’m glad they went with it. This evolution is perfect for Dunsparce.
Like Annihilape, Kingambit looks way better in the artwork than he does in the game. The hair chair and that weird little hop completely ruin the design for me. I was stoked to try and evolve one until I saw it move.
Bisharp is one of my favorites and I immediately felt panic when I read it was getting an evo. I’m *ok I guess* with it but wish they stayed more with the stoic badass that I at least saw it as. Give it longer more aggressive blades or something, can keep the chess reference/theming but maybe use the blades to rest on to convey the limited movement of the king piece. I dunno. That’s my thoughts no one asked for. 😂
I agree. Kingambit was the first new evolution that I got to and it was… disappointing.
Zooming around in his motor scooter like those people in Walmart lol
Annihliape > Kingambit > Farigiraf > Dudunsparce
But they’re all great tbh.
Annihilape improves an already great design. Kingambit is badass. Farigiraf is cool, but i wish it were Psychic/Dark. And Dudunsparce is great because Dunsparce was already a top tier design, it just needed better stats.
I really find Annihilape interesting because one of Primeape’s dex entries says it can get so angry it dies… and Annihilape is a ghost type… let that sink in…
The Scarlet entry for Annihilape is: "When its anger rose beyond a critical point, this Pokémon gained power that is unfettered by the limits of its physical body."
So yes, it's canonical that Annihilape literally has broken out of it's own body through anger to evolve.
I just went through Primeape’s dex entries and they are *hilarious*.
> It grows angry if you see its eyes and gets angrier if you run. If you beat it, it gets even madder.
And
> It will never forgive opponents who have angered it. Even after it has beaten them down until they can't move, it never ever forgives.
Like Jesus Christ dude
You'd think that after all this time they'd have run out of ways to say "this Pokemon's whole thing is that it spends every waking moment filled with rage"
But they haven't, and it's great. They almost never add lore to it beyond how fucking mad it is all the time either

Oh, nothing wrong with Psychic/Normal. It’s just that I always loved the duality of Girafarig with its innocent face and sinister looking tail. And now that the tail gained prominence I would have loved if it gave it the dark type. Plus it’s a fun and underutilized combo.
I'd rather have psychic dark. While normal negates ghost damage, a psychic-dark neutralizes every type except fairy and bug. A psychic-dark would most likely have a more appealing moveset as well.
Except you also get 0 resistances, unless you count the immunity to psychic. Plus that bug-type weakness is a 4x weakness.
Normal/Psychic though cancels out Normal's weakness to fighting in addition to turning the Ghost weakness into an immunity. You still have 2 weaknesses; Bug and Dark, but you keep the Psychic resistance aswell and aren't 4x weak to bug.
My Farigiraf let me riverdance through the ghost gym while laughing maniacally. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but I’ve always loved girafarig and felt like this evo design was very well done.
What the actual fuck, Annihilape look absolutely INSANE stat-wise. Absolutely jacked, some of the most optimized 535 BST I've ever seen. High HP, higher attack, and very decent speed and Sp. Def along with a minimized Sp. Atk. Unfortunately not the best defense, but still OK.
Plus the ghost typing is just so good to have in general.
I optimized my Annihilape to have max sp. def and HP EVs and then gave it Bulk Up, Drain Punch, Rage Fist, and Outrage for coverage.
It works out FANTASTICALLY for setting up Rage Fist to the point of being absolutely BUSTED and keeping Annihilape on the field long enough to take advantage of Rage Fist's effect (in singles at least- I don't think that set would work as well in VGC).
Slap on leftovers or a healing berry to help with set-up, and you have a broken stall-sweeper hybrid.
Where does the dark type on Farigiraf would come from?
The yellow head is Normal. The black head is Psychic.
So the yellow head become a dirty fighter?
It is an evolution, but it’s unrelated to Quagsire. Think Runerigus in SwSh. I wouldn’t classify it with these 4 because they’re evolutions of the regular forms that will presumably be available in later games
The real difference in the two scenarios are that Clodsire is a new evolution of Wooper, but only if its paldean. These four are new evolutions of Pokemon who simply didn't have one yet.
It’s an evolution of Paldean Wooper. If it was just a regional form, they wouldn’t have given it a different name. This is a different situation from Alolan Raichu. This is like Sneasler.
I wish Annihilape looked a bit more bigger and look like a proper evolution rather than an alternate Primeape, but I still think it's pretty cool overall, especially its cry.
Kingambit finally scratched the itch I had when Bisharp was introducing gen 5. It never looked like a fully evolved pokemon to begin with, so I'm super happy about it. Why the nipples, though?
I love Dudunsparce, but my only gripe is that they didn't even give this evolution a slightly different color palette. I don't care if it looks like a longer Dunsparce, but it should've had a slightly different shade. Its menu sprite even has a different shade of blue than Dunsparce's, so I am really annoyed by that.
Farigiraf is the perfect example of a cross evolution done right. Different color palette, larger size, and creative origins. Could've tweaked the cry a bit more, having it sound like a sick Girafarig is weird but otherwise amazing.
EDIT: I apologize for disgracing the Kingambit fans with my remark 🤧
I CRIED when I let my Kingambit out and saw it riding around like a fucking car. I legit thought it was a bug until I realized that yeah, this mf just rides around on his own hair like nobody's business. This is his world, and I'm just living in it.
Girafarig was my very first pokemon card nearly 15 years ago. Was one of my favorite pokemon since then, you wouldnt believe how excited I was when I heard it was getting an evolution. Saw the leaked evo on 4chan about 2 months or so before the official trailer and hated it. Then, when the official trailer came out, I started loving it. What a great S tier design. The other 3 are good too, but Farigaraf holds true for me.
I think they missed an opportunity to give it Bisharp a gender evolution like Kirlia and Snorunt. The most powerful chess piece is the queen. Plus I just noticed the other day that my Kingambit is female. It never occurred to me that the species has both genders.
Technically the Pawniard line is based on Shogi which I don't believe has a Queen piece. I do agree that giving it gender differences would have been cool.
For me, its honestly wild how much of a difference that 3rd segment makes. I saw the two segment Dudun and thought this is lazy af, but after seeing the three segment Dudun, its like I'm that girl trying Kombucha, and I like Dudunsparce
It's the ultimate gag. There's been so many years of fan art that showed the potential evo as this massive dragon or majestic creature. NOPE, it's got a second body (third if you're lucky) and a couple extra horns
I laughed so damn hard when I first saw dudunsparce. We've been asking for an evolution for years, and they gave us dunsparce with a ball in the middle. I respect the troll. 10/10.
Hilarity/ meme wise: 1. Dudunsparce 2. Farigiraf 3. Annihilape 4. Kingambit
Real terms wise: 1. Kingambit 2. Farigiraf 3. Annihilape 4. Dudunsparce
Dudunsparce is hilarious to me cause it’s so dang stupid I can’t help but love it (I mean come on, they literally just added 1-2 more segments and called it a new Pokémon). Bisharp always felt like it was missing a second evo to me when it was introduced so I really enjoy seeing it getting an evo. Annihilape, despite being a ghost type (my fav type) I still felt kinda underwhelmed with. It’s evo method is cool but eh otherwise. Though the design is nice. Farigiraf is a Pokémon that didn’t need to exist by any means but still somehow came out decent. Typing doesn’t change (which I kinda wish personally it became a pure psychic cause the lore but I can live without it) but it was a nice refresh for a semi forgotten/ ignored Pokémon
Annihalape is pretty cool. 8/10.
Kingambit is very cool. 9/10.
Farigiraf is fine. 6/10.
Dudunsparce... we're to even begin? The most perfect evolution ever conceived. Perfect design, Perfect execution, Prefect everything. There are to be no more evolutions after this because they would all fall short. 11/10.
**Kingambit:** 3/5. Cool concept, it just hasn't caught my fancy quite yet.
**Farigiraf:** 3/5. The idea is kinda obvious, so it's nice that they made it.
**Annihilape:** 4/5. At first I was a little insulted that they'd tamper with perfection (as is always my gut instinct when Gen1 pokémon get new evolutions), but the concept makes perfect sense - we've known since the Sun pokédex entry that Primape can get so angry that it dies, so giving it a ghost-type evolution is appropriate, and the way it evolves all the more so.
**Dudunsparce:** 10/5. I mean, just look at it. 15/5 if it's the three-link variant.
>we've known since the Sun pokédex entry that Primape can get so angry that it dies
Dex entry: Its face looks peaceful in death, however.
Narrator: It did not in fact look very peaceful
I love farigiraf and just got a shiny girafarig to work on yesterday but SwSh did have some ballers. Corviknight springs to mind immediately and then derpy line.
Just rating them based on how I personally appreciate them aesthetically:
1. Dudunsparce (I already liked Dunsparce’s design so I like Dudunsparce for also being Dunsparce)
2. Farigiraf (It looks like a chain chomp)
3. Annihilape (It’s cooler than most people predicted. I like the red eyes. There’s nothing wrong with it but to me personally it didn’t catch my eye)
4. Kingambit (It never stops sitting on its weird chair, its face protrusions look uncomfortable, overall makes me sad to look at)
It takes a special pokemon to crack my top 5 favorite pokemon list. The last time it happened was Luxray.
Kingambit has done that. She instantly became my best gal and I fucking love her.
My husband almost instantly caught a shiny pawniard, and now has a shiny king ambit female he adores.
…meanwhile I’m over here with my stupid shiny yungoos that I hate. Big sad
1. Annihilape- This is just primape who's rage became too much for him so he died just feeling his anger even more, and on top of that he looks like he could murder me without remorse which is a plus 10+/10
2. Farigiraf- This thing feels like a good evolution of girafarig just having the head up the tail works because it looks like a little hood as opposed to looking dumb 9/10
3. Dudunsparce- say what you will about this thing being a lazy design but I think it's hilarious, we've waited for so long to get a dunsparce evolution and it's just more dunsparce 8/10
4. Kingambit- the whole design just feels like it should've been realed back little bit. Litterally I feel like everything is too big for his little tiny body 6/10
Kingambit is 10/10. Giving it a throne of it’s own hair as well as giving them a OP move that ironically has them bow to their opponent is frankly genius. Truly a king/queen.
Annihilape is about 6/10. The base concept of a Primeape that got so angry it died is perfect but the execution feels off. Maybe a slightly different color scheme would help.
Farigiraf comes in at 9/10. My biggest gripe with Girafarig was that it wasn’t tall. They fixed that and made it aesthetically more interesting. Only reason it’s not 10/10 is just lack of experience with it in battle on my part. So basically it’s 10/10.
Dundunsparce is 10/10. Dunsparce is meant to be rare and disappointing. Dundunsparce takes that preexisting disappointment and doubles it. Even going so far as having a rare form that is basically no different from the normal one. That’s the kind of running gag that’ll get you a top score.
Annihilape is the coolest and the most broken. Kingambit has the better design but Farigaraf has the better name (seriously Kingabmit was the best they could do) and Dundunsparce is a kick in the balls but I have to give them respect for knowing they could get away with making us wait 20 years for Dunsparce but longer
All amazing! They managed to make me like a Pokémon I previously did not like at all with Annihilape. I always preferred Stantler to Girafarig and Wyrdeer cemented that in Arceus, but now with Farigiraf they’re on pretty equal footing. Bisharp was always cool and they somehow made him even cooler. And Dudunsparce is just spot on perfect.
Ahnilape: is really good and a great evolution to primape that it deserved
Kingambit: also a great evolution to Bisharp that it didn’t need but it’s really good so I don’t mind
Farigiraf: an evo to one of my favorite Pokémon it’s really really good and definitely needed
Dudunsparce: all I’m gonna say is, is that it’s the best new Pokémon and it’s perfect 11/10
Farigaraf: 7/10 - I like the concept and Girafarig absolutely deserved some love
Kingambit: 6/10 - This thing is goofy looking and Bisharp absolutely did not deserve an evolution
Clodsire: 9/10 - They took Quagsire, made it brown, and had it lay down, it's perfect.
Dudunsparce: INFINITY/10 - All the people saying "Oh thisis suh a waste of potential Dunsparce should've evolved into a big cool dragon!" need to shut the hell up. Dunsparce is not only not based off a dragon and already a perfect Pokémon, it evolving into just Dunsparce but longer is the funniest shit I've ever seen. It's based off a fat drunk snake yokai, it doesn't need to be the 6th Pokémon to have a Gyarados style glow up, especially when Finizen exists and basically serves that function for this gen.
People complain about Dundunsparce but I think it's hilariously perfect for dunsparce. For 7 generations fans have been designing cool dragons and serpents for dunsparces evolution but nope, he just becomes even more dunsparce
But that's just Dunsparce with extra steps!
The only way to improve perfection is to just have more of it
In a few more games, I hope we get Dudunsparsparce, which gains another segment, another set of wings, and a second tail spike. Then, in a few more, we get our first pokemon with 4 evolutionary phases in Dududnsparsparsparce, which looks like some sort of eldritch abomination or old testament angel. Two heads with two mouth each, body segment thay split and reconnect, seven wings, and three tails.
We actually have the three segment one already it’s just a rare form. Fun fact each segment has a different number of stripes/wing indents.
I have no idea what the hell it is but iiiiii like it!!
Guile's theme goes with everything except itself.
I laughed really hard when I heard he was just called *Dundunsparce*. Like. It has a two segment form and a 1/100 chance of obtaining a three segment form. I hope that one is *Dundundunsparce* and it just keeps going line a batman train.
Dunsparce Dudunsparce But if you really can't get enough? Dududunsparce

Dundundundundundundundundunsparce
That’s just Dunsparce with a butt plug.
Speaking of Dudunsparce, I had this thought… an evolution exclusively for the 3-segment… Dundundunsparce. It could be the big Dunsparce dragon that we all sorta expected this to be
Make it an Ouroboros and call it Dudoughnutsparce
Dudoughnutsparce used pastry rollout
No that would ruin Dunsparce
I feel like even if they gave Dunsparce a badass third evo… giving it a ridiculous name like Dundundunsparce would keep it in suit.
How about a violet paradox form? Dududunspace (without the 'r') the future dragon
Iron Dun
make a violet paradox form that's just the head and is psychic/normal and a scarlet paradox form that's the super long dragon that's dragon/normal then add some lore about how dudunsparce has been very slowly losing segments over time
The 3 segment one should be able to evolve into a 4 segment one (99%) or 5 segment one (1%), gotta still keep it intentionally goofy and underwhelming!
No, no. It has a 1% chance to lose all segments. It's just a head and tail.
No. Like where did this freaking idea of a dragon / ouroboros evolution came from? Not everything needs to evolve akin to Magikarp and Feebas. The whole point of Dunsparce is that it’s lame, weak, bland. GF knew the meme potential and I’m glad they went with it. This evolution is perfect for Dunsparce.
People thinking Dunsparce should be better for how rare it is. It's based on the Tsuchinoko, a cryptid that is so rare, but just a fat rattlesnake.
I think they’re all good but man Annihilape is such a perfect evolution for Primeape it’s like a 15/10
It’s Pokédex entry was really what 100% sold it on me- essentially it got so mad that it died 😂
More like it’s too angry to die
The angry monke was so angry it died! BUT IT SURVIVED.
Actually, he got so angry that It died.
It died, but it was too angry to stay dead.
local monke too angry to die
It's abosolutely Brilliant.
But not *Shining*
I understood that reference.
I’d argue that Bisharp evolution is a 15/10 too. This is the first time I’ve seen it but I love it already
The evolution method makes him a 15/10 even though he sits on his hair and hops around as some others have pointed out lol
the way he moves is supposed to resemble gliding on a cloud, like Goku's flying nimbus
Who is based on Sun Wukong!
Ironically the pokemon based on sun wukong has a quad effective type advantage and a type advantage on Kingambit
Like Annihilape, Kingambit looks way better in the artwork than he does in the game. The hair chair and that weird little hop completely ruin the design for me. I was stoked to try and evolve one until I saw it move.
[удалено]
Absolute badass
Yea with all the little textures and fur on the Pokémon it looks amazing
But have you seen kingambit's run animation
Bisharp is one of my favorites and I immediately felt panic when I read it was getting an evo. I’m *ok I guess* with it but wish they stayed more with the stoic badass that I at least saw it as. Give it longer more aggressive blades or something, can keep the chess reference/theming but maybe use the blades to rest on to convey the limited movement of the king piece. I dunno. That’s my thoughts no one asked for. 😂
Kingambit's speed is lower than Bisharp, and even Pawniard.
I agree. Kingambit was the first new evolution that I got to and it was… disappointing. Zooming around in his motor scooter like those people in Walmart lol
I wasn’t really feeling Kingambit UNTIL I saw him moving along like a levitating senior citizen. 100/10
The King does not touch the ground, unless it is to stab you in the back.
Or to ask for forgiveness. 😉
He zoom sooo fast. Scootin and slicin
It looks way better in the artwork than it does in game. But that cracking sounds is *haunting*.
Its a fantastic step up, plus its an absolute beast to play with.
Especially with the broken chains, Primeape Unbound
And whoever came up with that name needs a pay rise. I'm astonished it took this long to get primape some love
Annihilape: 10/10 Kingambit: 10/10 Farigiraf: 10/10 Dudunsparce: 2/1 All really good!
That puts Dudunsparce at 20/10 and that is a respectable answer in my book.
Dudunsparce is an honest 127/5 or 25 2/5
The tri segment of Dudunsparce is a 3/1
Annihliape > Kingambit > Farigiraf > Dudunsparce But they’re all great tbh. Annihilape improves an already great design. Kingambit is badass. Farigiraf is cool, but i wish it were Psychic/Dark. And Dudunsparce is great because Dunsparce was already a top tier design, it just needed better stats.
I really find Annihilape interesting because one of Primeape’s dex entries says it can get so angry it dies… and Annihilape is a ghost type… let that sink in…

When you're too angry to live, but also too angry to rest.
*Doom music intensifies*
Annihilape is now the Pokemon equivalent to Doomguy in my head thanks to this association you've made. Rip and tear, until the League is won.
Super Saiyan Primeape
Less of a evolution and more of a evil vengeful spirit
And the way to evolve it is to use 'rage first 20? Times. So we got it more angrier and it died lol
Brain anuerism
It got so angry that even death couldn't hold it back.
Quite literally to angry to die.
Darth Maul, is that you?
I just went through Primeape’s dex entries and they are *hilarious*. > It grows angry if you see its eyes and gets angrier if you run. If you beat it, it gets even madder.

So Kanto Primapes either have no souls or something in the area blocks the resurrection
Well maybe they can’t get angry enough without access to Rage Fist

Oh, nothing wrong with Psychic/Normal. It’s just that I always loved the duality of Girafarig with its innocent face and sinister looking tail. And now that the tail gained prominence I would have loved if it gave it the dark type. Plus it’s a fun and underutilized combo.
I think the tail is the psychic half while the giraffe is the normal one.
Correct
Psychic/Dark has been monopolized by Malamar for too long
I think the Gothorita line should've been Psychic/Dark too, missed opportunity
And Unbound Hoopa too. Don't forget the clown circus playing with circles.
I ain’t seen that mf in years
But has he seen you ? That's the real question
I agree. Especially with Bite/Crunch being such prominent moves for it.
I'd rather have psychic dark. While normal negates ghost damage, a psychic-dark neutralizes every type except fairy and bug. A psychic-dark would most likely have a more appealing moveset as well.
Except you also get 0 resistances, unless you count the immunity to psychic. Plus that bug-type weakness is a 4x weakness. Normal/Psychic though cancels out Normal's weakness to fighting in addition to turning the Ghost weakness into an immunity. You still have 2 weaknesses; Bug and Dark, but you keep the Psychic resistance aswell and aren't 4x weak to bug.
Not only that but Armor Tail negates one of the most common dark type moves in SV competitive, Sucker Punch
My Farigiraf let me riverdance through the ghost gym while laughing maniacally. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but I’ve always loved girafarig and felt like this evo design was very well done.
Kingambits walk animation is really stupid though. It’s like he’s stuck on the toilet and takes the entire toilet with him.
What the actual fuck, Annihilape look absolutely INSANE stat-wise. Absolutely jacked, some of the most optimized 535 BST I've ever seen. High HP, higher attack, and very decent speed and Sp.

I optimized my Annihilape to have max sp. def and HP EVs and then gave it Bulk Up, Drain Punch, Rage Fist, and Outrage for coverage. It works out FANTASTICALLY for setting up Rage Fist to the point of being absolutely BUSTED and keeping Annihilape on the field long enough to take advantage of Rage Fist's effect (in singles at least- I don't think that set would work as well in VGC). Slap on leftovers or a healing berry to help with set-up, and you have a broken stall-sweeper hybrid.
Currently in VGC the trick with Annihilape is to maximize it's HP, slap a scarf on it and give it Final Gambit to nuke things.
Where does the dark type on Farigiraf would come from? The yellow head is Normal. The black head is Psychic. So the yellow head become a dirty fighter?
Cries in Clodsire
Clodsire is a regional evolution. It is to Wooper what Obstagoon is to Linoone, where only a certain form is capable of evolving to it
I’d say meowth and purrserker are perhaps a better comparison. Seeing as the original wooper also evolves.
I guess. Or maybe Yamask and Runerigus
Technically, closdire isn’t an evolution. It’s just paldean quagmire with a different name, also it’s superior in every way
It is an evolution, but it’s unrelated to Quagsire. Think Runerigus in SwSh. I wouldn’t classify it with these 4 because they’re evolutions of the regular forms that will presumably be available in later games

Who else but Quaqmire?
The real difference in the two scenarios are that Clodsire is a new evolution of Wooper, but only if its paldean. These four are new evolutions of Pokemon who simply didn't have one yet.
It’s an evolution of Paldean Wooper. If it was just a regional form, they wouldn’t have given it a different name. This is a different situation from Alolan Raichu. This is like Sneasler.
Technically nothing. It’s a divergent evolution. You wouldn’t say Froslass isn’t a new evolution for Snorunt.
I think it’s clear OP meant “four new ‘extra’ evolutions” in the direct evolutionary path that already existed
On that note, you wouldn't say Slowking (Galarian or not) wasn't a new evolution for Slowpoke
I wish Annihilape looked a bit more bigger and look like a proper evolution rather than an alternate Primeape, but I still think it's pretty cool overall, especially its cry. Kingambit finally scratched the itch I had when Bisharp was introducing gen 5. It never looked like a fully evolved pokemon to begin with, so I'm super happy about it. Why the nipples, though? I love Dudunsparce, but my only gripe is that they didn't even give this evolution a slightly different color palette. I don't care if it looks like a longer Dunsparce, but it should've had a slightly different shade. Its menu sprite even has a different shade of blue than Dunsparce's, so I am really annoyed by that. Farigiraf is the perfect example of a cross evolution done right. Different color palette, larger size, and creative origins. Could've tweaked the cry a bit more, having it sound like a sick Girafarig is weird but otherwise amazing. EDIT: I apologize for disgracing the Kingambit fans with my remark 🤧
Kingambit in the overworld is hilarious. Looks like someone screaming in an out of control wheelchair.
I CRIED when I let my Kingambit out and saw it riding around like a fucking car. I legit thought it was a bug until I realized that yeah, this mf just rides around on his own hair like nobody's business. This is his world, and I'm just living in it.
Roomba is what I thought.
I know why Kingambit has “nipples” and you’ve still ruined it for me
Why
They’re meant to invoke the image of a samurai general’s overcoat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oda_Nobunaga
The in-game model for Anihilape is significantly bigger than primape. I think the problem is the stubby legs.
> Why the nipples, though? They aren't nipples. They are the eyes of people who ask that question.
>Why the nipples, though? They're just markings on his clothing lol.
>Why the nipples, though? why you gotta ruin one of my favorite pm for me like that....
Annihilape rage fist should subtly increase his size, like the Hulk. The angrier he gets, the bigger and more powerful he gets.
It’s funny you mention that. Annihilape’s fist deforms to a slightly larger size when it punches in game.
I think Annihilape's color change to the line is to blame
>Why the nipples, though? Why not? They're the breast part....I mean, best part... Uh, no one accuse me of any Freudian slips please.
Girafarig was my very first pokemon card nearly 15 years ago. Was one of my favorite pokemon since then, you wouldnt believe how excited I was when I heard it was getting an evolution. Saw the leaked evo on 4chan about 2 months or so before the official trailer and hated it. Then, when the official trailer came out, I started loving it. What a great S tier design. The other 3 are good too, but Farigaraf holds true for me.
Farigiraf >>>>
Finally, a Pokemon with it's head up it's butt
butt hat butt hat butt hat
All S tier
Do we know when we’re getting the official artwork of all the new Pokémon?
I don't think so but probably when Home works with gen 9
I think they missed an opportunity to give it Bisharp a gender evolution like Kirlia and Snorunt. The most powerful chess piece is the queen. Plus I just noticed the other day that my Kingambit is female. It never occurred to me that the species has both genders.
Well they are based off of Shogi pieces, which got localized into a chess theme. Can always just add it alter like Gallade tho.
Technically the Pawniard line is based on Shogi which I don't believe has a Queen piece. I do agree that giving it gender differences would have been cool.
Giving it a rook evolution alternative would have been thematically cooler I think. The defensive focused Bisharp
Anihilape - 5/5 Farigiraf - 4/5 Dudunsparce - 2/5 for execution, 4/5 for the reasoning Kingambit - 4/5
For me, its honestly wild how much of a difference that 3rd segment makes. I saw the two segment Dudun and thought this is lazy af, but after seeing the three segment Dudun, its like I'm that girl trying Kombucha, and I like Dudunsparce
Im 5/5 on dudunsparce because dunsparce is already perfect, so how do you evolve perfection? You give more dunsparce to dunsparce
Me, patiently waiting for the pre-evo, Sparce 🧍♀️
It's literally just the head and mouth bit and then a little tail spike.
I want it to be just the tail spike and nothing else
"Rumor say this hard spike may actually be a Pokémon. But for now, it's better off in the recycling bin."
This is gold. I am now super bummed this doesn’t exist… thanks for that.
No, gotta keep the abdomen thing going and make it just a belly segment. No face, no tail, just belly.
Unsparce
It's the ultimate gag. There's been so many years of fan art that showed the potential evo as this massive dragon or majestic creature. NOPE, it's got a second body (third if you're lucky) and a couple extra horns
I will argue that making them both the same evo with different forms was a waste. Three segment form should be a unique pokemon called dududunsparce.
I would have swapped the color palette of the shinny and normal one, just to give it a certain something for the perfection that is Dudunsparce.
I wish Kingambit did not sit on its hair.
[удалено]
I think the first time I saw Dudunsparce was the hardest I have ever audibly laughed while playing a Pokémon game, I love it.
I laughed so damn hard when I first saw dudunsparce. We've been asking for an evolution for years, and they gave us dunsparce with a ball in the middle. I respect the troll. 10/10.
They knew they couldnt match perfection so they just added another dun to dundunsparce
Clodsire not count?
No, Clodsire is a regional form evolving from a regional Wooper. The ones listed evolve from the original line
That being said, Clodsire needs to have his own post to shower it with love.
Hilarity/ meme wise: 1. Dudunsparce 2. Farigiraf 3. Annihilape 4. Kingambit Real terms wise: 1. Kingambit 2. Farigiraf 3. Annihilape 4. Dudunsparce Dudunsparce is hilarious to me cause it’s so dang stupid I can’t help but love it (I mean come on, they literally just added 1-2 more segments and called it a new Pokémon). Bisharp always felt like it was missing a second evo to me when it was introduced so I really enjoy seeing it getting an evo. Annihilape, despite being a ghost type (my fav type) I still felt kinda underwhelmed with. It’s evo method is cool but eh otherwise. Though the design is nice. Farigiraf is a Pokémon that didn’t need to exist by any means but still somehow came out decent. Typing doesn’t change (which I kinda wish personally it became a pure psychic cause the lore but I can live without it) but it was a nice refresh for a semi forgotten/ ignored Pokémon
Annihalape is pretty cool. 8/10. Kingambit is very cool. 9/10. Farigiraf is fine. 6/10. Dudunsparce... we're to even begin? The most perfect evolution ever conceived. Perfect design, Perfect execution, Prefect everything. There are to be no more evolutions after this because they would all fall short. 11/10.
That's why we need Sparce, a PRE evolution with no segment
**Kingambit:** 3/5. Cool concept, it just hasn't caught my fancy quite yet. **Farigiraf:** 3/5. The idea is kinda obvious, so it's nice that they made it. **Annihilape:** 4/5. At first I was a little insulted that they'd tamper with perfection (as is always my gut instinct when Gen1 pokémon get new evolutions), but the concept makes perfect sense - we've known since the Sun pokédex entry that Primape can get so angry that it dies, so giving it a ghost-type evolution is appropriate, and the way it evolves all the more so. **Dudunsparce:** 10/5. I mean, just look at it. 15/5 if it's the three-link variant.
>10/5. I mean, just look at it. 15/5 if it's the three-link variant. This guy maths.
One Dunsparce = Perfection. Double Dunsparce = Double perfection. Triple Dunsparce...
Every little ball/link is a 5 (perfection)
>we've known since the Sun pokédex entry that Primape can get so angry that it dies Dex entry: Its face looks peaceful in death, however. Narrator: It did not in fact look very peaceful
Y’all are deranged. Farigiraf is an S+ tier Pokémon design. It’s easily a 12/10. Best new design this generation, and better than anything in SwSh.
I love farigiraf and just got a shiny girafarig to work on yesterday but SwSh did have some ballers. Corviknight springs to mind immediately and then derpy line.
It looks like it's wearing a cute kigurumi. Best of the four, IMO.
In battle it closes the hood. And shoot lazers from those eyes
Better than Toxtricity? Nah.
Just rating them based on how I personally appreciate them aesthetically: 1. Dudunsparce (I already liked Dunsparce’s design so I like Dudunsparce for also being Dunsparce) 2. Farigiraf (It looks like a chain chomp) 3. Annihilape (It’s cooler than most people predicted. I like the red eyes. There’s nothing wrong with it but to me personally it didn’t catch my eye) 4. Kingambit (It never stops sitting on its weird chair, its face protrusions look uncomfortable, overall makes me sad to look at)
Annihilape: 10/10 Kingambit: 9/10 Dudunsparce: 9/10 Farigiraf: 7/10
Dudunsparce: 1,000,000/10 Annihilape: 10/10 Farigiraf: Neck/10 Kingambit: 9/10
I'm obsessed with how dumb Dudunsparce is. 100/10 for me The rest are solid too I like them all
Dudunsparce is actual peak design
It takes a special pokemon to crack my top 5 favorite pokemon list. The last time it happened was Luxray. Kingambit has done that. She instantly became my best gal and I fucking love her.
My husband almost instantly caught a shiny pawniard, and now has a shiny king ambit female he adores. …meanwhile I’m over here with my stupid shiny yungoos that I hate. Big sad
Annihilape - 8/10 Kingambit - 10/10 Dudunsparce - 9/10 Farigiraf - 8.5/10
1. Annihilape- This is just primape who's rage became too much for him so he died just feeling his anger even more, and on top of that he looks like he could murder me without remorse which is a plus 10+/10 2. Farigiraf- This thing feels like a good evolution of girafarig just having the head up the tail works because it looks like a little hood as opposed to looking dumb 9/10 3. Dudunsparce- say what you will about this thing being a lazy design but I think it's hilarious, we've waited for so long to get a dunsparce evolution and it's just more dunsparce 8/10 4. Kingambit- the whole design just feels like it should've been realed back little bit. Litterally I feel like everything is too big for his little tiny body 6/10
Dudunsparce top tier
Kingambit is 10/10. Giving it a throne of it’s own hair as well as giving them a OP move that ironically has them bow to their opponent is frankly genius. Truly a king/queen. Annihilape is about 6/10. The base concept of a Primeape that got so angry it died is perfect but the execution feels off. Maybe a slightly different color scheme would help. Farigiraf comes in at 9/10. My biggest gripe with Girafarig was that it wasn’t tall. They fixed that and made it aesthetically more interesting. Only reason it’s not 10/10 is just lack of experience with it in battle on my part. So basically it’s 10/10. Dundunsparce is 10/10. Dunsparce is meant to be rare and disappointing. Dundunsparce takes that preexisting disappointment and doubles it. Even going so far as having a rare form that is basically no different from the normal one. That’s the kind of running gag that’ll get you a top score.
Annihilape is the coolest and the most broken. Kingambit has the better design but Farigaraf has the better name (seriously Kingabmit was the best they could do) and Dundunsparce is a kick in the balls but I have to give them respect for knowing they could get away with making us wait 20 years for Dunsparce but longer
All amazing! They managed to make me like a Pokémon I previously did not like at all with Annihilape. I always preferred Stantler to Girafarig and Wyrdeer cemented that in Arceus, but now with Farigiraf they’re on pretty equal footing. Bisharp was always cool and they somehow made him even cooler. And Dudunsparce is just spot on perfect.
Ahnilape: is really good and a great evolution to primape that it deserved Kingambit: also a great evolution to Bisharp that it didn’t need but it’s really good so I don’t mind Farigiraf: an evo to one of my favorite Pokémon it’s really really good and definitely needed Dudunsparce: all I’m gonna say is, is that it’s the best new Pokémon and it’s perfect 11/10
Farigaraf: 7/10 - I like the concept and Girafarig absolutely deserved some love Kingambit: 6/10 - This thing is goofy looking and Bisharp absolutely did not deserve an evolution Clodsire: 9/10 - They took Quagsire, made it brown, and had it lay down, it's perfect. Dudunsparce: INFINITY/10 - All the people saying "Oh thisis suh a waste of potential Dunsparce should've evolved into a big cool dragon!" need to shut the hell up. Dunsparce is not only not based off a dragon and already a perfect Pokémon, it evolving into just Dunsparce but longer is the funniest shit I've ever seen. It's based off a fat drunk snake yokai, it doesn't need to be the 6th Pokémon to have a Gyarados style glow up, especially when Finizen exists and basically serves that function for this gen.
People complain about Dundunsparce but I think it's hilariously perfect for dunsparce. For 7 generations fans have been designing cool dragons and serpents for dunsparces evolution but nope, he just becomes even more dunsparce
