>>34602104>Ponyta4/10 - Produces a nice looking silhouette and has a charming face, the tame and luscious mane of fire shows it's relatively safe to have despite literally being on fire. There's very little appeal to it, though.
>Rapidash1/10 - Simply bland, nothing else to say.
>Blitzle5/10 - All the same things as Ponyta, but more cartoony and marketable as a result. The mane being spiky to resemble electricity is fun. Has some funky eyes and a squish-able baby nose. Brings much needed colour variety to the Electric Type.
>Zebstrika5/10 - Fairly clean progression of Blitzle with the same qualities. The tail has an interesting shape and the meaning behind it is easily understandable. Could do with more to its design but it's fine for what it is.
>Keldeo7/10 - Very nice contrast to the other swordsmen and nicely conveys the origin behind the design as a result, the tail matching the youngest musketeer's cap is also neat. Good harmony of the kelpie and kirin with the ability to shoot water out of its hooves, a lot of interesting things to the design.
>Keldeo-Resolute8/10 - Solidly represents its resolution with a more mature and determined look that also manages to stay young looking so it stays in theme. Its eyebrows becoming its horn is silly, but it's silly fun and subtly changes its personality telegraph by showing the ear-like eyebrows. Gaining three feathers that resemble the other three swordsmen is mundane but enjoyable and the new hairstyle is rather appealing.
>Mudbray6/10 - A basic, simple design but it doesn't need to be anything else. It's got a nice ugly-cute look, goofy facial expressions and has the square-ish pupils of donkeys giving it special eyes.
>Mudsdale7/10 - Dreadlocked hair as a result of the mud it uses is simple to understand while realistic in nature, giving Mudsdale some fresh new looks. Mud is nicely implemented into how it battles, giving it protection and also increasing its weight. Weird appeal, but the appeal is strong.
