This art won 1st place in the Cover Art Contest for the Pokemon Workshop PMD Album Collab 2. I am hyped beyond belief for this win because this piece was up against a lot of strong entries, which I will try to find and reblog after I post this.

Electabuzz is the odd one out in its own evolution line

Electabuzz, as best as I can tell, is an electricity-themed hybrid between a tiger, and a Japanese oni like Raijin.

And like Magmar, Lickitung, Jynx, Porygon and Mr. Mime it seems to me like one of those Pokémon that were never really designed to have evolutions, but rather meant to exist as curious one-offs to add diversity to the roster, and for that purpose, yeah, Electabuzz is a decent design.

But it becomes the awkward middle child when we introduce its later evolutions, Elekid and Electivirre. Elekid is literally an electric plug, and an adorable one at that, with its gregarious little face and stubby body, and Electivire is... an electric mix of a gorilla and the abominable snowman? With tentacle tails? Beyond that, though, it complements Elekid, because on its back, what should there be but an outlet to match Elekid's head, which is a solid bit of design theme continuity... that doesn't interact at ALL with Electabuzz, who feels very separate from their themes.

There's an attempt at continuity, with the tesla coil-esque bulb antennae on Electabuzz and Electavire, but it remains painfully obvious that these ideas were conceived separately and put together with a little bit of duct tape.
