What if Its supposed to resemble a feathered raptor. The mention of scales on the dex probably hints at the fact that they were confused for so long. Looking at that evolution, it always kinda looked more like a headdress to me. SO in actuality its probably feathered, people assume its scales, similar to what happened with real life raptor. Plus this picture of the flying raptor I found looks like it could forsure be part fighting type.
Problem is its coloring is horrible, as well as that shit on its head. There's still hope the shiny can redeem it. Otherwise, raptor-pokemon is a cool idea.

he's a raptor/pangolin

Proportions are also kind of screwed. How is that thing supposed to do jabs and uppercuts like its description states if the arms are placed like that? It looks stiff as fuck. And also looks more steel-type than anything else. This is the evo line that has let me down the most thus far.
>>29134346
It is kind of growing on me, but yeah I wish it was dragon/steel, because then even if it was ugly (which it is), it would have great typing against fairy.
>>29134346
not really, it just takes a boxing stance

>its coloring is horrible
what?

Feathers on dinos look retarded. Fucking nerds trying to ruin dinos.

Apes without fur look retarded. Fucking evolution trying to ruin animals.

bids without feathers look retarded. Fucking nerds trying to ruin bird ancestors
I kind of hope that the shiny is a vibrant green
>>29134469
Yeah, but how can it take on a boxing stance if the structure of the elbows prevent its forearms from rotating forwards? Its not even a problem of the artwork because the 3D model is also like that. Its weird stiff arms look more like they were made for digging, like a bulldozer, which is why I'm dissapointed that its not steel-type.

He's a komodo dragon, obviously.

You know it's signature attack is literally clanging it's scales together, yes? It's scales with some feather-like stylings, which is fine because feathers are highly modified scales anyways.
>>29133616
Its appearance is certainly partially based on a feather raptor. They are scales, however. As >>29135750 said, feathers 'inherit' from scales, so this even makes sense in the real world.

Yes that was exactly what I was thinking. Theyre scales with the intent of looking like premature stages of the scale to feather change. Its a neat little detail that adds more complexity and character to the pokemon, making it seem more realistic and plausible. Plus the obnoxiously bright coloring can also be explained, similar to the mechanism many animals use to portray that they are threatening
>>29133616
Its based on my dog's turd
>>29135065
Say that to my face motherfucker.
>SO in actuality its probably feathered, people assume its scales
it's definitely scales
>>29133616
I wish the design didn't have the body scales. The arm scales look cool, the tail is fine, but the 4 hanging armor dreadlocks look bad. He needs an armor skirt or something.
>>29133616
I think it's based off that raptor.
>>29135128
It's not real, anon. The anatomy doesn't have to conform to that kind of standard.
