Monke is best

That chest is weird

It's supposed to be rock-themed drummer to complete with other rock punk pokemon (Obstagoon and Toxtricity) Its gigantamax form make it clearer

If it was Fire/Rock, it could just conjure up its own rocks instead of using an existing one.

Rilaboom should have been based on one of those baboons with the big red asses. They could have made it slap its ass and play it like a drum.

I don't think this detracts from the main point which is that it's just a gorilla walking around with a drum on its back

I remember hoping it would have wooden pecs and that it would pound its chest gorilla style to lay down the beats. Still wish it did that.

I won't forgive them for not giving him chest "drums" to beat. It was right there in front of their noses, but GF designers have the subtlty of a boner at the beach.

as many faults as inteleon has, it's the only one of the Galar starters that naturally integrates its gimmick into its design, and I appreciate that

I kind of like this fan design that uses that concept, aside from the wooden "headphones" which serve no purpose

Rillaboom is easily the worst design and it's not even close. The drum itself feels like an afterthought considering it's barely even seen with it. It carries its drum on its back, but it's way smaller than normal, and it just suddenly gets bigger when it pops out?

I know Cinderace, and especially Intelleon are not very "good looking", but please be objective when you talk about the merits of the three. The other two may have faults, but at least there is a consistent design philosophy behind them. Rillaboom is just a mess of ideas that somehow manages to miss the simple idea of a gorilla beating his own chest for a drum. It's just that bad.

Also, to add, it's easily the worst offender of any jobmon. Beating your drum causes huge plants to spawn from the ground? That doesn't even make sense. Cinderace is a soccer player, but it makes sense for high-powered kicks to be incredibly lethal. Intelleon may be a spy, but snipe shot is an incredibly accurate attack with a high crit chance. Drum beating... lowers your speed? Because why not.

I don't find it sane to bang on him for having a drum in a franchise whose first iteration had pokemons that have speedos and belts as part of their bodies
