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.

PokeDex:

No. ???
Manedragon
Venomous
Type / Normal Poison
HT 3'11"
WT 99.2lb

Flavor texts:
Silver

It prefers to hunt
alone and is ready
to strike with its

venom. Yet it
forms unique bonds
with its own kind.

Gold:

Its venomous bite
can defeat larger
prey than itself.

Despite its name
and looks it's not
a true dragon.

Has anyone managed to get a Lapras ex from the event? I'm currently at 6 Butterfree, 4 Pikachu, 10 Clefairy, and 5 Mankey, but no Lapras. I'm wondering if it's even possible or if I'm just really unlucky. What has your experience been?

Give him some candy or he'll eat your dreams tonight!

Hi everyone, I've been trying the new app for the TCG and so far it's been quite a nice experience. Obviously the predatory mechanisms that were obvious to be present are quite hard to ignore, and the slight dumbing down of an (already way too) easy battle system surely makes challenges a bit more frustrating in that they get quite simple to read. However, the UX Is slick as hell and the way packets are opened really makes you feel all of that sweet dopamine hit you get from the real thing. Have you had any way to try It as well? What do you think about It?
