Nova 31 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 While everyone's hyped up for the new Sun/Moon releases, we ramp up our competition and announce one of our own! Quiksilk, the Clock Pokemon, is a BUG/GROUND type, similar to Nincada in canon. It's a shame there was never a fully evolved Bug/Ground, since it's a pretty neat typing, and Nincada isn't really useful in Little Cup either, so we're here to set that first one straight. EDIT: Wormadam - Sand does not exist. Deal with it. It is said that Quiksilk has the ability to control time, and, while never directly observed by anyone, it is believed Quiksilks can open themselves and stop time when scared or threatened. Like many Ground types, Quiksilk resides in the desert, where it has adapted to the harsh climate. Its abilities are Pressure and Clear Body, both of which provide a niche against opposing attackers. Quiksilk truly shines, however, when it acquires its Hidden Ability, but we'll leave that one for you to figure out. This one is one of the few creations of our former member Elly, and my personal favorite of those she designed. It's kind of her legacy, so to speak That's all for today, folks!

Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch 1650 Posted May 10, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted May 10, 2016 Pressure makes sense for a time-based Pokemon, because it's like it fast-forwards to the future to where a move is used again . o . When I first looked at it, I thought it looked like a crab and assumed it'd be Water. Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Elliot 1 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 If your dream has always been to use one of your Pokemon as a phone strap, now you can! Link to post Share on other sites
Odybld 70 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I think the design department's drunk. Who the hell uses metal-limbed spiked spiders as phone straps?! This fellow looks cute tho. Tough Claws as the HA? Anyway I like these looks Link to post Share on other sites
Cepheus 7 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Bug/Ground huh... If I only had seen the picture / sprite I would have assumed at least a steel-type due to that Chain-tail thing... and holy damn, it actually has 8 legs as a spider! (canon Pokemon only have 4 or 6) ... and now I can't remember if your other spider-mon had 8 legs or not... ability to control time you say? - hmmmm... In before it becomes a Bug/Dragon with Roar of Time! [yeah you mentioned "fully evolved bug/ground type"...] and I guess it's hidden ability has something to do with it... hmmm... time... speeding up... increses speed... ground type... Sand Rush! - hell or even Speed Boost! or maybe Prankster - status moves gain priority = manipulating time to move first... ... ... Stall might also be an option to always go last... but I can't really see a use for it for a Bug/Ground mon... edit: or it might just get Trick Room really early through level up also - it's a pocketwatch not a clock...

Bazaro 133 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 It's also made of glass, not metal. It's a pocketwatch/hourglass/spider thing and I love it. More bugs for my potential mono, I guess (so many bugs x_x) Hexatis, Elftik, Lucifly, Quiksilk, Andetle, Lunapillar, Colourva... there's so many announced already. We getting more ground types from Duster's team so we can learn how to counter them :^) As for the announcement itself... Quiksilk, the Clock Pokemon, is a BUG/GROUND type, similar to Nincada in canon. It's a shame there was never a fully evolved Bug/Ground, since it's a pretty neat typing, and Nincada isn't really useful in Little Cup either, so we're here to set that first one straight. *Casually ignoring Wormadam Sandy Cloak* ;( ✓ yoself b4u shrek yoself again EDIT: Quiksilks would make for amazing keychains js Link to post Share on other sites
NickCrash 250 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 May I ask why the sprite looks different than the concept art? Or is that the steampunk shiny version? Pokemon has Quicksand in its name, so you guys really took a lot of thought to associate this one with time. I can say I'm impressed. Hopefully it doesn't roar. That said, quicksand doesn't increase your speed, but decrease the opponents. Prankster seems like a nice ability, unless you created a new one. Can't say I see this as a Sand Rusher since it looks nomadic and easily rattled. Duster will use it... with Eviolite. Link to post Share on other sites
AuthorReborn 8 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Two potential abilities I'm surprised no one has put out there yet: Analytic and Technician. Analytic: this guess is mostly based on the fact that it's a pocketwatch and timing and the like. I'm mostly just putting this one here as speculation. Technician: this one could be very nice on a Bug/Ground type due to providing strong STAB moves with bonus effects. It gets Bug Bite to devour opposing berries and Bulldoze for dropping the Speed of everyone, not to mention things like Rock Tomb, which also benefit from Technician.

I made the sprite before Zim made the artwork, and since I colored it based on a pencil sketch, there's quite a few differences between my coloration and Zim's Link to post Share on other sites

Cobalt996 10 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Okay, so another thing I can strap to my klefkichain. An eight-legged spider is a nice change from the canon. EDIT: Wormadam - Sand does not exist. Deal with it.It is said that Quiksilk has the ability to control time. So Quiksilk removed Wormadam-Sand from time. Interesting. It forgot Grass cloak though.

Jmanultrax1 38 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 aw based on the post I thought it was from the "fully evolved" part, my bad. still I want to find this in the game and use it. Link to post Share on other sites
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch 1650 Posted May 14, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted May 14, 2016 Yes you are. I guess I really can't tell the difference between them. This isn't the first time I thought a spider was a crab or vice versa. Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Elliot 1 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 aw based on the post I thought it was from the "fully evolved" part, my bad. still I want to find this in the game and use it. Well I have good news. This is going to be a common-ish encounter in the desert... Although the desert is going to have so many different Pokemon, running into the one you want might prove complicated lol. Link to post Share on other sites

Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch 1650 Posted May 14, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted May 14, 2016 For the Pokemon already revealed, you can look at the Fold's List of Announced Things thread. But for evolutions, they want players to find out for themselves who evolves into what and how. Link to post Share on other sites
