Well, that's not exactly what I had in mind for a mosquito-based

Yeah, right? This is EVEN BETTER

>>29929940
What baffles me about this UB is that usually pokemon that seem to be based on the combination of two seemingly random concepts actually have some sort of pun/connection hidden.

Is there anynything of the sort for "mosquito"+"bodybuilder"?

>>29930085

Like Pheromosa is based on two seemingly incompatible concepts ("roach"+"beauty") maybe this one is also based on an oxymoronic pair to further drive home how alien and incomprehensible UBs are supposed to be by Pokemon standards?

>>29930085
No but it works well anyway because its bulging muscles are like a puffed up mosquito after it sucks up blood.

>>29930085
Cartoony mosquito that sucks so much blood that it becomes buff is quite a simple concept.

Now, why it's half centaur is beyond me.

>>29930085
drains & gains

>>29930147
Mosquitoes have six limbs

>>29930147
It skipped legs day, obviously!

>>29930133
suprisingly intelligent, well done.

>>29930133
Cockroaches dislike getting dirty (which could easily translate into beauty), and Mosquitos, well, suck blood as mentioned.

So when you think about it, the UB-02 pair are based on simultaneously incompatible and yet compatible concepts. What a strange duo.

>Cockroaches dislike getting dirty

Uh really? That's quite ironic when you think about it because it's hard for us humans to associate them with cleanliness.

>>29930133
>roach
I thought it was obvious that she's based on copepods. The antenna and hair shape mimic the general body of one, even down to the long legs with weird pronged feet.
The concept is the same, though. Not too many people who would find copepods beautiful.

>>29930677
To be fair, most people don't know what a copepod is, though that is the more likely inspiration.

They're fastidious groomers, which is why you can poison them with boric acid.

>>29930133
so how do the other UBs factor?

''Pumping iron''

Blood w/iron

Also fits Mars theme

>>29932175
Also because it's a rocket because kaguya travels to the moon.

Can't say I expected it either.

>>29929940
Is this the first Bug-type to have more limbs than what it's based on? Mosquitos and other true flies only have a single pair of wings.

>>29932709
Well, snails don't have arms, so technically Accelgor is the first Bug-type with more limbs than what it's based on.
