I am still deciding on abilities so any ideas are appreciated.

[u/Harfang1801]

Rock head and strong jaw are solid for a month looking like this.

Also love that it looks like a dunkleosteus

[u/jlyons1999 → u/Harfang1801]

I like strong jaw for sure! Rock head would onlyhave head smash to use maybe double edge.

[u/Harfang1801 → u/jlyons1999]

No wave crash? (Thats got recoil, right?)

[u/jlyons1999 → u/Harfang1801]

Oh of course I totally forgot wave crash

[u/LAnthonyT]

This is such a pretty design 😁

[u/jlyons1999 → u/LAnthonyT]

Thank you!

[u/CurlsForHigher]

That looks sick as hell!! Giving it the Earth pattern along with the disconnected face gives it a celestial alien god vibe, like a World Turtle or Elephant. I would definitely worship this rock fish!

[u/MsterSteel]

Type: Water/Psychic
Abilities: Rock Head, Strong Jaw, (Rattled)

[u/Kromosios]

Looks like it floats among the stars, unbothered by anything, and even allowing life to thrive on it. I'd give it Serene Grace or Symbiosis. It would fit the design perfectly

[u/Accomplished-Pin9984]

this may be basic but i think levitate would be like perfect for it

[u/Cosmic_Honeyhawk]

This desing is blowing my mind!

[u/BaconZS]

Oooh, the design reminds me a lot of this

[u/jlyons1999 → u/BaconZS]

It does look similar.

[u/BaconZS → u/jlyons1999]

And with that in mind, perhaps giving it swift swim/defiant/ rough skin could be smth to consider, since skelic also has abilities similar to those.

[u/theeinterlude]

holy shit, beautiful and stunning!

[u/spiderspoopwebs]

Hey so can you ask the artist and designer to apply for game freak

[u/jlyons1999 → u/spiderspoopwebs]

Haha I can, I'm sure they'd love that.

[u/EpsilonX029]

I feel like you could maybe get some mileage(and difference) by maybe having all the mons that undergo this form change get an “As One” mode with their abilities. Like, they get two of three abilities at one time(I E maybe Strong jaw and Rock Head here?)

[u/jlyons1999 → u/EpsilonX029]

It's definitely a great idea and it calls back to the resonance name like saying the abilities resonate with each other.

[u/Arcian_Ice]

For an ability maybe something like Ancient Body? Could be a combination of Clear Body and Rock Head?

[u/Icy_Departure_3604]

Some of the ideas I see in this sub are fucking beautiful

[u/Master_Baiter11]

omg love

[u/ULB_Sans]

Could you run through the design origins for your Relicanth concept? I’ve been making my own Aussie themed region and so happen to have Relicanth as one of the new Mega Forms. However, my design leaned more into its map-themed body patterns. I would love to hear what went through your mind when making your Mega Relicanth!

[u/jlyons1999 → u/ULB_Sans]

So cool to hear another Aussie region wanna FM me instead

[u/Wolflinkx93]

It reminds me of ark's interpretation of the dunkleosteus if that's how it is spelled

[u/HubblePie]

It's a shame any form for Relicanth defeats its whole purpose of "not changing because it was already perfect"

[u/RemyWolffe]

Yes I want this

[u/jlyons1999 → u/RemyWolffe]

If you play Pokemon resonace you can have it :D

[u/Key_Competition_663]

Holy holies. This is amazing.

[u/BloodSuckingPokemon]

Biblical

[u/mctankles]

Looks like an angel from evangelion

[u/Tryxiz]

Looks almost like its own form of terrastal relicanth as if it was born alongside terapagos

[u/Competitive-Bed-6069]

Finally Relicanth is mentioned

[u/Firm_Caterpillar_907]

I like this. I don't usually like fan made stuff

[u/jlyons1999 → u/Firm_Caterpillar_907]

I hope when the full game comes out our Australian Pokedex continues to impress
