>>55195815Wake should have been the baseline for all paradoxes. It take the design elements of Suicune and put them on a Pokemon that feel truly distinct from it. I can even give a nod to Raging Bolt here, even if I don't find the design nearly as immediately likable and it still keeps Raikou's face.
The other one that gets a little closer to the right idea would be Slither Wing. Sandy Shocks I like but that's mostly thanks to animations rather than the design itself. Iron Treads and Iron Valiant are also in that category of trying to create a new thing from old elements but lose favor by being fucking awful to look at. Scream Tail, Flutter Mane, Roaring Moon, and Iron Moth at least look good despite not being too different, so they get points for that. Gouging Fire, Great Tusk, Brute Bonnet, and maybe Iron Bundle are okay but are just worse looking versions of their inspirations. All the other iron fuckers look like shit.
Wake just mogs all of them.
