Cry: clyp.it/iicwuwgd


Dex Entries:
1) It seeks attention by starting small fires in unusual places. However, it's actually quite shy and will dart out of view when someone catches sight of it.
2) Its skin is actually a light shade of green. The gray color is a thick coating of ash produced by its own flames that plays a role in regulating body temperature.

More info: The evolved form of Bryre. Incendriad is often found to live deep in the woods, typically concealing itself from other inhabitants. Despite this timidness, it's known to play sly tricks on passerby to gain their attention, usually by sparking small fires or creating hole traps which it covers with leaves. The leaves that Incendriad grows on its body develop extremely quickly, as they are often burned away by its own hair, which reaches temperatures of a few thousand degrees. The residue from these burned leaves cover its skin, turning it a grayish color rather than the natural light green that Incendriad has at birth. These leaves are also used for storage. Incendriad will keep small objects, berries, or powders under its leaves for quick use. Incendriad wears a mask of red clay over part of its face, which is traditional for its species.

Evolves at level 27

Cry: clyp.it/1nkplevc

Dex Entries:
1) Bryre is a very forgetful Pokemon. Often it will attempt to braid leaves into its smoldering hair which immediately burn up and disappear.
2) It sometimes appears at night to try to aid weary travelers through the woods. However, it often can't remember the way and leads them to the wrong destination.

More info: Bryre's dim flames can help light up the night for nearby Pokemon in the woods. However, it's very naive and often attracts trouble this way from dangerous Pokemon and people. When in danger, it will manipulate its flaming hair to take on frightening appearances, which usually helps scare off threats. If Bryre catches sight of itself doing this, usually in a reflection, it will often become scared itself. Although it's quite innocent, Bryre becomes cunning when it evolves.

[Ace]

I'm liking the concept and the typing as well. Imo the BST is a bit too high, though. I'd either have it reduced or possibly increased to 600. Reason for that is because this Pokemon reminds me of the 'cute legendary' of each region (Like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi etc). Snaquaza, Galom what do you guys think?

Oh and some lore behind the Pokemon like a dex entry would be cool!

[Galom]

If this is going to be non-Legendary, the BST is way, way too high.

I would not be against having something like this as a "Mew"-esque legend as you mentioned, though. I do like the concept art, btw.

[Trickster]

Either one is fine. I didn't really pay attention to the BST as I was making it because I wanted to keep a theme of ending each stat in 1 or 7 to fit with the levels. I also wanted it to be able to take a hit and be good for physical or special offense, but I'll lower things if needed.

Lowered BST (524): 77 HP, 91 Atk, 77 Def, 91 SpA, 77 SpD, 111 Spe
Raised BST (600): 87 HP, 107 Atk, 91 Def, 107 SpA, 91 SpD, 117 Spe

Anyway here are some Pokedex entries:

1) It seeks attention by starting small fires in unusual places. However, it's actually quite shy and will dart out of view when someone catches sight of it.
2) Its skin is actually a light shade of green. The gray color is a thick coating of ash produced by its own flames that plays a role in regulating body temperature.

Also, I could add a prevolution if we decide that this BST is still too high and it doesn't become legendary.

[Snaquaza]

I want to warn you that if you want to turn this into a legendary, it will have to participate in one, or multiple competitions to gain the spot. I'd prefer just using it as a general Pokemon with the lowered BST, but if you want to safe it that's fine.

Anyway welcome to these forums ^_^. Could I see your justification for Prankster? A lot of people have been adding it onto their 'mons and honestly, most of the time it doesn't fit well enough. Flash Fire seems nice as well. I'd recommend changing Harvest into another ability as well, solely because I can't see this Pokemon growing berries with a flaming head. That said, I would strangely advice it to be Drought. Normally I'm really opposed to abilities like that, but it seems to fit with this Pokemon, and you could easily make a lore around it.

Moves seem fine, although I oppose Close Combat and Extreme Speed. Both are rare moves rarely given to Pokemon, Close Combat for non-fighting types. Sleep Powder is fine for now, but it may need some more obvious way of using it. However, it seems quite easy to create some fun legend about this Pokemon, so it'd be easy to add something like "it can shed powders, relaxing those around it". Although I do want to see something like that.

I dont' see anything extraordinary about the TMs, for the breeding moves my main problem is that I don't see it using Spikes. The other moves seem fine, although it may be good to add some more attacking moves there.

It seems like Pokedex entries and species name are still lacking, so add those. Good job otherwise, I like the design and the stats seem fine (once they're decided upon).

EDIT: Never mind, add the Pokedex entries into the OP once you've decided on them. A preevolution sounds good as well. Maybe it'd be an idea to make the EV Yield Speed based, since that's its highest stat.

[Trickster]

I mainly gave it prankster because it's supposed to be an impish sprite of sorts. I gave it a sort of devilish look on its face for that reason. It also sets fires for attention so it's essentially trolling people. The reason I gave it Harvest is because of the way that farmers set fire to their fields in order to help them grow better in the future, but it's true that this isn't typically the kind of Pokemon to get Harvest.

Would it be better if I switched ExtremeSpeed for Sucker Punch and Close Combat for Drain Punch? I would change the ways it learned the moves, of course, since learning Drain Punch as its final move would be odd. I could also give it all or some of Focus Blast, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, Sludge Wave, and/or Dazzling Gleam for TM moves. The reason I gave it Spikes was because I was originally planning on making its legs or arms thorny as I was drawing it, but it never happened. I could remove it if you want.

I've also added the species name in the OP as the Burning Nymph Pokemon, added the dex entries, and changed the EV Yield to Speed.

[Galom]

I would definitely support Sucker Punch > Extreme Speed and Drain Punch > Close Combat, yes. If it's going to get Drain Punch and be non-Legendary, it would get it as an Egg Move from Mienshao (Human-Like), and if it's going to get Sucker Punch it'd get it from Cacturne (Human-Like).

Of the moves you listed for TMs, I would agree with adding Focus Blast and Dazzling Gleam, and you could probably also get away with Thunderbolt and Thunder Wave if you really wanted to.

Unless you plan on adding the thorns you mentioned to the design, remove Spikes from the movepool.

I'd feel this mon is pretty complete after these changes tbh; I like the species name and the dex entries, and I can't spot any missing details, but Snaq has always been better at that than me. Tag me again once you've made any extra changes so I can come and judge.

[Trickster]

Okay, I changed those things. I also gave it Leech Seed, changed Flare Blitz to a level up move, and gave it Power-Up Punch.

[Galom]

Have you considered giving it a pre-evolution? While there are single-stage Pokemon with very high BSTs (like Lapras), they are relatively uncommon. A pre-evolution to this would also be pretty easy to design, since you're given a lot of freedom with humanoid Pokemon; it can be something really simple like Petilil.

That said, since this Pokemon looks pretty powerful appearance-wise, I would not necessarily oppose it retaining a BST of around 524 even lacking a pre-evo, but I do think it would seem more natural with one, so it's something you should consider.

Just let me know when you've decided what to do, and I'll stamp this. I like the appearance a lot, and it's probably something I'll use when I can eventually play through this game lol.

[Trickster]

I drew this pretty quickly and will likely improve upon it later, but here's what it could potentially look like: i.imgur.com/7qXyBHn.png
Will post info on this pre-evo in a bit.

Edit: Okay added the info for the Pre-evolution, Bryre.

[Galom]

Damn dude, the art for the pre-evo is looking really clean. If you truly drew that really quickly, I'm super impressed. Overall I like this line a lot.

Approved 1/3. Tagging Snaquaza and Ace for their judgements.

[Hawkie]

First off your art is brilliant, 10/10. I really like the concept behind these 'mons and the Dex Entries are better than a lot I've seen, the pre-evo's one about setting fire whilst braiding it's hair made me laugh. Overall they seem balanced, and with the changes you made I think they're ready to go. Cool line.

[Snaquaza]

I don't have enough time to look into this right now, but here's a thing I thought of. Maybe a cool lore that could be told somewhere is that it's always growing new leaves, because they keep burning away. Because of this the layer of ash on its skin could determine their age, and the amount of leaves could determine their vitality.

Also for move rememberer moves. These are just normal "starting" moves, but since you only get the latest four moves, you can't get them due to it not being level 1. If you want Leaf Storm to be level 1, you need to add one more levelup move, since right now it'd just learn it when being caught at a low level.

[Ace]

This has improved quite a bit. I really like the designs for both these Pokemon, the lore behind them is quite interesting as well. Solid Stuff! Approved 2/3. 
@snaquaza, you're last so remember to include everything~

[Trickster]

I'll just change Leaf Storm to be a move that it learns at a high level instead. I've also submitted an idea for a new move that this line, among other things, would learn so I'll update the moveset after the move gets approved/rejected.

Edit: Oh, also don't I need parents for the breeding moves? I'll figure those out too and update it with the other stuff.

[Trickster]

Okay, I've updated the learnsets a little bit, including giving the egg moves parents. Snaquaza would I add lore by changing the Pokedex entries or just adding a paragraph about it? Also, try to look this over again when you get the chance because I think it's about done.

Edit: lol not sure where this fits into the project but I was bored and made cries for them, just for fun:
Incendriad: clyp.it/iicwuwgd
Bryre: clyp.it/1nkplevc

[Snaquaza]

Just add a paragraph about it and we can fit it into the game somewhere. And cries are fine to put at your Pokemon, although most people can't do it by themselves. Will look at it in detail later today.

[Ace]

What did you use to make the cries, btw? Seems pretty useful.

[Trickster]

I pretty much just messed around with a bunch of synth sounds using Audacity. Anyway, here's a couple paragraph things:

Bryre: Bryre's dim flames can help light up the night for nearby Pokemon in the woods. However, it's very naive and often attracts trouble this way from dangerous Pokemon and people. When in danger, it will manipulate its flaming hair to take on frightening appearances, which usually helps scare off threats. If Bryre catches sight of itself doing this, usually in a reflection, it will often become scared itself. Although it's quite innocent, Bryre becomes cunning when it evolves.

Incendriad: The evolved form of Bryre. Incendriad is often found to live deep in the woods, typically concealing itself from other inhabitants. Despite this timidness, it's known to play sly tricks on passerby to gain their attention, usually by sparking small fires or creating hole traps which it covers with leaves. The leaves that Incendriad grows on its body develop extremely quickly, as they are often burned away by its own hair, which reaches temperatures of a few thousand degrees. The residue from these burned leaves cover its skin, turning it a grayish color rather than the natural light green that Incendriad has at birth. These leaves are also used for storage. Incendriad will keep small objects, berries, or powders under its leaves for quick use. Incendriad wears a mask of red clay over part of its face, which is traditional for its species.
