These are the Gimmick-mon of each Gen

0/10

>>28263555
>Cicada Shell

I wouldn't say that's the most interesting idea on the block.

Crabrawler should have been Water and art styles don't exist.

The ginmick mon of GEN VI is Furfrou not Meowstick.

>>28263555
Gen 3 should be Castform or Kecleon.

>>28263555
>no plusle and minun

>meowstic
>more gimmicky than Aegislash

>>28263590
Furfrou's gimmick was purely cosmetic, which is outside the criteria I set when making this

>>28263613
That's two pokemon

>>28263589
It's about the concept in battle as well

>>28263648
That's just a form change that changes stats. Not very unique/

.Forgetting Chatot

it will have an Alolan form now

How in the fuck did you manage to forget this worthless piece of adorable shit?

>>28263723

What Pokemon had an in-battle stat-altering form change caused by using certain moves before Aegislash?

>gimmick mons
>no pic related

Some more:

>Castform
>Aegislash
>Wormadam
>Darmanitan

>>28263924

Also Cherrim.

>>28263723
>literally has power trick as an ability

How is that not unique?

>>28263885
I didnt forget them, they are mentioned in the post. Shedinja is just a bigger gimmick

>>28263908
We've had form changes based on abilities, form changes based on weather, form changes based on location and form changes based on having a move. What makes Aeigslash more interesting than those? Meowstic is almost entirely unique

>>28263965
Darmanitan would have probably been a better one for Unova

>>28263989
>Darmanitan would have probably been a better one for Unova
I just realized that Darmantian Zen could be retconned as either a Mega or Alolan form, making it viable and freeing up that ability slot in one fell swoop.

>>28264033
...maybe an Alola form. Or honestly, just improving how it works a la Ditto getting Imposter.

>>28263923
I knew I forgot one from Johto.

>>28263868
I might just make a new image with say, the top 4 from each gen rather than just the main one.

>>28263589
>coconut crab
>water

>>28264501
Doduo is based on a flightless bird yet it can fly, why can't a coconut crab Pokemon swim?

>>28265020
Because crabs are bugs, not fish

>>28263555
>Basculin
>Not Zoroark

>>28263555
The gimmick mon for Gen 7 is definitely Pyukumuku the sea cucumber. Its ability makes it a free destiny bond on switch-in and nothing else.

>>28263555
Zoroark and Aegislash are the gimmicks battle wise. Basculin is Gastrodon with trait based on color instead or random and Mewstic is Nidoking + Nidoqueen in the sale Pokédex entry

>>28265057
>>28265200
How the fuck did I forget Zoroark. That's definitely the right answer. Still feel Mewostic's gimmick is bigger tha Aegislash and it's justy that Aegislash is a lot better as a pokemon, but I do get what you mean

>>28265104
To be fair, Wishiwashi, Minior and Lurantis could all be ones too.

>>28263589
>implying owls are birds

>>28263555
Thanks gonna make a team of them. Think I'll omit Ditto to use Mimikyu.

>>28266104
Why omit Ditto?

Oh right, we now have more Gens than spaces on a team.

Remember that Zoroark/Darmanitan is more the gimmick than Basculin

>>28263555
I think from Gen 3 on there are also secondary gimmickmons, those being Castform, Cherrim, Archeops, and Aegislash.

>>28265104

>Its ability makes it a free destiny bond on switch-in and nothing else.

Nah, it's not that crazy. It just makes the enemy lose however much HP it had left when it was hit by the move that faints it.

>>28265305

What about Lurantis strikes you as being a gimmick? I can't think of anything, unless you also consider sudowoodo a gimmick.

>>28267702

Cherrim isn't gem 3

>>28263555
Your inclusion of Basculin is very flimsy, to say the least.

THE MOST SHOCKING GIMMICK OF ALL POKEMON, REPERCUSSIONS ARE STILL FELT

>>28267790
Learn to read

>>28263555
>Basculin
>Not Sawsbuck
>Not Darumatan
>not Cofagrigus

>>28267738
I do, but both of them are purely in design. Definitely not enough to come close to the ones in OP that I did. It will probably learn Bug moves the same way Sudowoodo knows Wood Hammer.

>>28267702
Not even that late. Like I said, Eevee,s evolution tree or Wobuffet are also interesting gimmicks

>>28267809
yeah

>>28267913
>"design concept that comes through during how it's used in battle"
>Sawsbuck

>>28267853
It is, I suppose. Though now they're just different pokemon

>>28267913

Mummy isn't really that big of an ability gimmick.

Tertiary gimmickmon for sure tho

Here is my gimmickmon team:
>Chansey
>Wobbuffet
>Slaking
>Rotom
>Sawsbuck
>Greninja

I'd go with Chatot for Gen 4. Still the only move besides Sketch itself that can't be Sketched.

Or Arceus, honestly.

>>28263589
It would make more sense if Crabrawler was Fighting/Ground than having the Water typing

>>28263555
You've at least mentioned them, but I feel like not evolving brings them up the be the 'main' gimmick mons. My list would be:
Ditto
Smeargle
Castform
Chatot
Basculin/Audino
Carbink
Mimikyu
Not like it matters, just thought to share.

If I had to pick one from each generation I'd go with:

>Eevee
>Togepi
>Castform
>Spiritomb
>Deerling/Sawsbuck
>Furfrou

Not sure about Gen VII yet.

This feels really cynical to just call them gimmick Pokemon, but whatever. It's cool when the 700+ Pokemon aren't all identical in abilities in and out of battle. Idk.

This is as bad as the shitty thread from last night attempting to point out the 'inanimate mons' of each gen, with the OP failing to do any of it right.

Good job, OP.

>>28268421
I saw that thread and no it isnt

>>28268147
Good call on "not evolving" but I think a better one would be "is it still unique"

Castform was unique at the time, but other weather based form changes exist now. (At least one does)

>>28268147
>>28268253
>Audino
>Carbink
>Togepi
>Spiritomb
why?

>>28268266
Gimmick isnt an inherently negative word outside shitposters though.

>not a single mention of delibird or unown

>>28270222
Fuck, them too
