Saw this in a thread on Smogon dedicated to making new stages for weak Pokemon, Magcargo could definitely use one.

The color scheme does salvage it a bit, but I'd say a revisit to its tail and bead eyes could separate it even further and less likely to be accused of being a clone.
>>24818641GREAT concept for the head, but I'm not the biggest fan of those lightning bolts lining the back and tail, they just seem tacked on there to further cement its typing (unless I'm missing something). If such bolts need to be included, see if they can be incorporated into the belly or overall body pattern, and not just lining the edge of the back.
