GIGANTAMAX HYDREIGON by SkarmorySilver on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"Overcome by Gigantamax energy, Hydreigon's wings become massive enough to whip up tremendous windstorms. As it flies, it blots out the sun and casts the land below in shadow, the only warning it gives before it descends to attack."
" Its three heads have their own personalities and argue constantly, but work in deadly harmony as it fights. Soaring high over the battlefield, its mouths fire off devastating beams of energy, reducing everything to smoldering rubble. "

Height: 100'
Ability: Levitate

G-Max Rampage: A Dragon-type attack that Gigantamax Hydreigon use. It ignores stats, type effectiveness, and barriers.
(Notes: This attack hits Fairy-types for neutral damage. It is not affected by changes to the target's stats, and bypasses the effects of targets' Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, and Mist.)

First Gigantamax form, whoo! I always wanted to do something with Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxes since their reveal, but didn't know whether or not to integrate them into Sundo... I figured after a while though that they'd be a worthwhile investment, especially because they and a bunch of other form-changing gimmicks will likely be a thing in my next fakemon region as well, all tied together by a similar plot device to the Scrolls of Sundo. And Scrolls also enable Dyna/Gigantamaxing at specific locations, so there's that too!

I'll keep the descriptions for these Gigantamax forms relatively brief, since there isn't much to talk about for them anyhow lol. The only comment I have to say about this one is that it's somewhat based on Hydreigon being originally designed as a tank dragon. You have to look a little closely to see the treads, but they're there, and the necks now looking like turret gun nozzles is also a nod to the same idea. There's also obviously a bit of Legendary Ghidorah in there, but the extra eyes on the wings are also a nod to how some dragons in medieval artwork had eyes elsewhere on their bodies.

Hope you like this one! I've got a few more Gigantamax ideas in the works, so stay tuned for those in the coming days!
