The yellow one is a guitar and the blue one a bass right? is there any other difference to them?

Walks the fine line between good, memorable design and furrybait.

Furry bait, so no. It's absolute oversexualized garbage.

I think that says more about you than the actual design

Amped (Yellow) gets Venoshock and Shift Gear.
Low-Key (Blue) gets Venom Drench and Magnetic Flux.
There's no other differences between the two other than appearance. Amped is arguably better due to access to Shift Gear (for mixed and physical sets), but Low-Key is usable if you don't plan on teaching it Shift Gear.

But aren’t all the amped natures the worst ones possible for it

Yes, but with Nature Mints that doesn't really matter.

Even if you don't plan to use Shift Gear Low Key gives away unnecessary information about your set since its exclusive moves are completely useless and basically all it does is saying "I am NOT a Shift Gear set".

Punk Rock boosted sound moves are better than being yet another set up sweeper.

Looks cool
Plays cool and has a neat signature and ability
Pretty bad in doubles I think but not bad in singles
>>42517346
Toxtricity is well designed but its far from ambiguous. Its a heavily themed pokemon. That said however, everyone who hates themed pokemons for no other reasons besides that is autistic.

By "ambiguous monster" I meant its not based on one specific animal like a lot of earlier Pokémon. I know it's themed, hence "cool concept".

Shift Gear Toxtricity runs almost exclusively special moves, maybe the odd Fire Punch for Ferrothorn. The point anyway is that even if it is not its best set running Low Key gives away informations to the opponent that is now certain that you are not going to boost your speed from Team Preview and can plan accordingly.

The “ambiguity” of a Pokémon design comes from how vague the creature looks. Not their “theme”.
The Whismur family are obviously sound themed, but have traits of multiple animals

Snorlax is obviously a gluttonous pokemon but isn’t obviously based on one animal

Slowpoke is a sluggish pokemon but what the creature is unclear for many people. THAT kind of ambiguous

You know what? This is true.
I also find it weird how Amped doesn't have Gear Up instead of Shift Gear. Shift Gear IS better, but Gear Up and Magnetic Flux are offensive/defense counterparts to each other that make use of Plus/Minus, just as Venoshock is an offensive move and Venom Drench is a defensive move that both take advantage of the Poison status. Give em both Shift Gear and toss Gear Up on Amped so they're more proper counterparts. Maybe even add something wacky but thematically sensible like, Amped keeps Fire Punch but Low-Key gets Ice Punch instead.
