>>44601291They were indeed designed around the idea of Smogon making their own starters and what fun ideas they could explore with it. Caribolt is a Grass/Electric type physical powerhouse with Galvanize, Smokomodo is a Fire/Ground type mixed attacker with Technician to give it strong attacks and good priority (such as STAB technician Bone Rush) as well has having decent utility, and Snaelstrom is a fat Water/Bug type with Poison Heal and ridiculous bulk and utility.
They even went to the effort of giving them all 3D cell-shaded models like Gen 7 had, since they were made around that time. I don't care much for the deer, but I really love the other two design-wise and battle-wise. Smokomodo's probably my favorite though for his sick design and constant geysers of smoke. Plus Bone Rush is fun to use with him.
