Description Drisyphus is born with a compulsive behaviour. It will make it life's goal to do the biggest dirt ball there is. 
Drisyphus are found in the mountain where they spend their entire life climbing it up and down and up and down.

Legends had it that Drisyphus had been punished to do so by a god. 
Although nowadays, science has proven that this is just a courting method.
The bigger the balls, the most attractive to the opposite gender. 

The abdomen of Drisyphus can rotate and move in any direction. This makes it a very pratical tool for digging even more dirt. 

After spending much time climbing a mountain, Drisyphus evolves into Atlarden. 
This pokémon is very picky about the size of its ball but also about its quality. It selects only the better soil. 
It will travel the world until it finds the perfect garden to "cultivate" its dirt ball. 

Soil that has been chosen by a Atlarden is extremely fertile. 
It is so fertile indeed that the fruits that grow in it shine brightly. An apple from such a tree looks like gold or ruby. 
Farmers covet it but also know how dangerous it is to set foot in an Atlarden's garden. 

Atlarden will almost always carry its dung on its back.
Most mythologies shared the belief that a giant Atlarden was carrying the world on its back.
Although it is just silly, this says a lot about how strong that pokémon it. 

Special skill for that pokémon: Dirt selector: Holding one of 5 plates (flame, icicle, meadow, stone or toxic) will add the type of the plate to any ground move this pokémon uses.

I really like these ... they have some very intersting mythology attached to the

Is their drill part in their body able to drill? I believeyou tell that in the description but it's unclear to me

Yeah ! It can move and rotate independently from the rest of the body. They use it do dig more dirt. 
So basically, it can drill !

hans-sniekers-art In reply to Lucky-Trident [2016-10-21 07:00:14 +0000 UTC]

So it's like their underbelly?

It's a cool feature, that's for sure.

Insects's bodies are made of 3 parts : the head, the thorax and the abdomen. 
This pokémon's abdomen can be used as a drill.

Drills are cool ! 
Row ! Row ! Fight the Power !

Yeah I know an insect is built like that
It just looked as if the body would be strange to turn and drill like that ...

Row row fight the power xd, I looked it up and it's a ... peculiar song ... from which anime is that?

Lucky-Trident In reply to hans-sniekers-art [2016-10-21 12:42:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. It's weird that it can rotate its abdomen. But then again, an electric yellow mouse is kind of weird too. XD
I'll make it more obvious that it rotate on the digital version. 

Gurren Lagann !
It's a very famous show from studio Gainax. If you are into anime, I recommend watching it. 
The main weapon in that show is a drill.

I could imagine dlc for pokemon DLC 

I mean there is a interesting concept that Ive seen a little bit and that is breeding new new pokemon because if you know a bit on macroevolution you could get a new species 

but just a concept

Lucky-Trident In reply to fishut564 [2016-10-20 18:23:57 +0000 UTC]

DLC for pokémon DLC ? Do you mean DLC for pokémon S&M ? 

Making pokémons from breeding would be interesting. But also very limited and a pain to developped and to design...

fishut564 In reply to Lucky-Trident [2016-10-20 19:17:29 +0000 UTC]

It doesnt really have to be that it coulb be like a really rare occurence like hidden grottos like 

Maybe have a special island where its like a safari zone like but you could only catch 6 pokemon due to it being a protected island

Lucky-Trident In reply to fishut564 [2016-10-20 20:52:25 +0000 UTC]

Maybe then it could be done... But even so, just combining 6 pokémons makes a lot of possibilities. You'll have to design them !

fishut564 In reply to Lucky-Trident [2016-10-20 22:25:32 +0000 UTC]

True but it wouldn't be that I thought maybe just like 30 different ones not including evolutions

Lucky-Trident In reply to fishut564 [2016-10-21 07:20:28 +0000 UTC]

Something like that. 
So you would have a generation with 60 brand new pokémon + 6 that can breed + 30 that can be breeded. 

A fan game would dare do that ! Nintendo... I'm not sure.

I love these designs and the explanation is really coo-"the bigger the balls, the most attractive..." ... ... oh.

Hum... Yeah... I just couldn't resist it...
Just thinking about people reading that makes me giggle. 

Also, Sisyphus and Atlas mythos are so cool !
