Evolves with Dusk Stone

Design: imgur.com/R7qXLKv
When Strawlit evolves, the "Jack-O-Lantern" head starts to erode, turning a darker color as it starts to decompose and going from a smile to a frown. Its arms and legs are now jointed and its left arm now ends in a small sickle; its right arm now ends in a twisted, gnarled hand from the branch that makes up that arm. There is a tear in the front of the cloth on the main body.

Does not evolve

Design: imgur.com/MRcMWCh
The once happy Jack-O-Lantern head has now decomposed and caved in on itself. The small sickle on its left hand has grown into a large scythe that's nearly half as tall as Strawrath. The tattered cloth is ripped in multiple places from wear and tear.

Bump

[Salient]

Design could use some help. Otherwise, looks good for now.

[Cyberknight98]

Yeah, the drawings were a rough draft sketch I did just because I was bored... I know I can't draw for crap.

[kizzo212]

- Doesn't seem like the sort of Pokemon that would get bulk-up. Only grass types that do get it are the breloom and chesnaught line (fighting types), and gogoat (just gets random bizarre moves in general), and even without that correlation doesn't seem to fit particularly well.
- Strawlit learns Bullet Seed pretty late. Aside from Remoraid and Octillery (which are a bit weird for even getting the move), the latest the move is learnt at is lv26, generally being from 15-25. If it needs a stronger grass move then I don't see why it can't get seed bomb like strawvest.
- Is probably worth indicating where you would put Grass Sickle, as that is now 1/2 approved, and I think it would fit well in the level-up moves as opposed to elsewhere.
- Going along with the above, maybe its worth having it being able to learn Grassy Terrain, probably by egg move, but could also work as level-up or reminder.
- Seeing as it gets bullet seed and leech seed, why not worry seed?
- Gyro Ball and Iron Head on Strawvest, and the line in general, seems a bit strange.
- Dig as a TM move seems a bit strange. Also, why do the earlier evolutions get hyper beam / giga impact?
- Do agree with Salient that the designs could maybe be altered a little bit. I guess the fact they are rough has a part to play, but in general, although the slightly spooky feel is nice, could maybe be made to look less like a murderous pumpkin scarecrow monster, since it isn't ghost or dark type, and might distinguish it from cacturne a bit more (which I just realised is the "Scarecrow Pokemon" ...idk why you have scarecrows in the desert..., but this seems different enough)

[Cyberknight98]

-Removed Giga Impact and Hyper Beam from the prior evolutions, that was an oversight.
-Removed Bulk Up and Dig from TM list
-Gyro Ball and Iron head were meant to fill in as the standard steel type attacks. I thought about making this pokemon Grass/Ghost and Grass/Dark, but we already have a Grass/Ghost type in Kyoru and I was afraid it wouldn't have enough variation from Cacturne.
-Changed when it learns Bullet Seed

[rexthegamer]

Level-up moves:
Start: Leer
Start: Absorb
Start: Rototiller
Start: Grassy Terrain
Level 4: Scratch
Level 8: Sand Attack
Level 12: Bullet Seed
Level 16: Grass Sickle
Level 20: Ingrain
Level 25: Metal Claw
Level 30: Slash
Level 35: Leech Seed
Level 40: Seed Bomb
Level 50: Curse
You go 4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5 then jump 10? Why not 45: Curse? Or why not 46 to show that it jumps 6?

For me Evo stage 3: Should be 232 exp yield

"Wild Strawraths can become quite violent if their territory is intruded upon" This is overused in my opinion, i'd suggest changing it.

[Cyberknight98]

-The gap between level 40 and 50 was an oversight, I'll change it accordingly.

-Strawrath's exp yield is correct at 236. This matches other third stage mons with the same BST, such as Dusknoir and Venusaur.

[rexthegamer]

-Don't really see how it can use wood hammer, evolutions 1/2 maybe 3 but the first one is defiantly looking like it can't use this move.
-Steel wing could be added somehow? Considering it's not actually a wing the sickle could still act like it.
-Possibly Gyro ball? It could swing round with it's sickle to do the damage and the slow speed deals more damage.
-AS: Wild Strawraths can become quite violent if their territory is intruded upon. Is still overused in alot of fakemons.
That's it so far, i'll wait for someone else to look at this before i consider approving it for my amazing 0.5

[kizzo212]

The only steel types that learn steel wing actually have wings of sorts, can't pretend a sickle is a wing really. Metal Claw is similar enough so its fine with just that imo. Still iffy on Gyro Ball but then idk wtf golurk, doublade and aromatisse and stuff are doing to use it so guess it can work.

[Cyberknight98]

Steel Wing Beheeyem tho.

Anyways, this is done. Really just need approval on Scarecrow before this can be fully approved.

[Salient]

If this is gonna get a signature ability, might as well have it be its only ability.

Boost Strawvest's BST to 410.

Hone Claws is questionable, even if it has the scythe.

Other than that, this looks good. Would like to see it on Route 6.

[Cyberknight98]

Yeaah, but Harvest is just too perfect not to include, flavor-wise.

I'll boost Strawvest's BST and remove Hone Claws if you think I should.

[Cyberknight98]

Scarecrow has been approved, which means the Strawrath line is also ready for approval!

[Devoxys]

Strawvest Base EXP Yield should be 144
Strawrath Base EXP Yield should be 232.

Fix those, then Approved 1/3

[rexthegamer]

Flash cannon? Doesn't really seem suitable IMO
Choose one dex entry, you only need one, preferably NOT the "If it attacks it they will become angered" This is used alot.

After that approval 1.5/3 ^_^ GJ

[Salient]

-Maybe rename to Strawlet? Strawlit might be taken the wrong way.
-"Berry farmers use Strawlit to scare off any wild Pokemon that threaten to eat their crops."
-Remove Leer (remove Sand Attack, replace with Leer?) and Grassy Terrain (should be later on in movepool) from Start moves. Switch Absorb and Scratch?
-Don't know if I can see this getting any of the following: Bullet Seed (through level-up), Metal Claw (I'm imagining strawfingers as its hands, or roots (ooo)), Curse, Leech Seed, Seed Bomb.
-Where's Razor Leaf? Forest's Curse? (yes I know it's signature, but I see it fitting on Strawrath)

Otherwise, everything else looks good. Might make sense to make it slightly heavier.
I'll see if I can try to draw something better for the line, maybe slightly based off of Skull Kid from MM.

[Cyberknight98]

- Renamed to Strawlet
- Changed the Pokedex Entry accordingly
- Replaced Sand Attack with Leer; moved Grassy Terrain up; Switched absorb and scratch.
- I removed Bullet Seed, but Curse, Leech Seed, and Seed Bomb still would fit, imo. I could replace one with Razor Leaf if necessary. I wasn't planning on adding Forest's Curse, since it's signature.
- Metal Claw fits in with the whole scythe thing, and even if Strawlet doesn't have its scythe hand yet, many Pokemon get Metal Claw even if they have nothing to do with metal, Shedinja for example.
- They're made relatively light, since... y'know... made of straw 'n all...

[Salient]

I know it's supposed to be light, but could he slightly lighter. Seed Bomb can stay, Curse too but I suggest making them by tutor and egg move (respectively) only.

[Cyberknight98]

Think everything's ready, Salient.

[Salient]

Eh, I still have some issues with this. I'll either do it after class or PM me on Skype so we can talk about them.

[Cyberknight98]

Bump

[rexthegamer]

I count as a full vote now.

[Salient]

Msg me on skype, gonna try to draw this but would like your input.
