Claydol literally beats every other nu design here in OP pic. I don't know why. It does feel a bit bland but not overdone really. It gives me the impression of Magnemite but clay and sort of like an EarthBound enemy too. It meshes really well with the ancient civilization theme that Hoenn had.
It's the last time GF tried to incorporate designs actually related to the world of the region.
The way Sinnoh tried to reflect worldbuilding in their designs was nothing but wet farts. Regigigas especially is nonsensical garbage compared to the original Regis.
