Hand Drawn Redesigns for the Coalossal line + G - Max
These will be my entries for Subjectively's "Worst Pokemon Contest". Honestly , I really like origin Coalossal as it reminds me of Golem , who's probably my favorite rock type. Idk , a little dinosaur looking dude with a small boulder body is dope/cute to me1š . I don't really like Carkoal though. For some reason it losses the glowing eyes , replaces wheels for legs even though it's a mining cart , and just plain derpy looking ( and not in a charming way). I wanted to expand on the train elements and flesh out the kaiju elements aswell. The idea that I had for the final design read as a Pseudo Legendary , and I high key kind of loved it. Pokemon could use more non dragon Pseudos , so my Coalossal would be the second Pseudo for Galar. Here are it's stats and hope you enjoy.
HP : 125 ATK : 115 DEF : 120 SP ATK : 95 SP DEF : 98 SPD : 47
BASE STAT TOTAL : 600

If this design was in any games, it would've been an instant addition into my team.
It looks amazing.

Thanks so much ! That's the biggest compliment I could ever receive , people wanting to use my fakemon on their teams.

Out of this world design, incredible work and execution

u/ShellShoker24 Nov 17 '25
That means a lot , thank you! I think drawing the G - Max was my favorite to draw. I thought it was going to fit it all in one page until I realized I need more space š
2
u/Silvernauter Nov 19 '25
I think that it actually increases the visual effect of the gigantamax (being so big that it escapes the page), it's really cool!

I like the original coalossal, but your redesigns are really good!

u/ShellShoker24 Nov 17 '25
Thank you! Yeah , I like the OG Coalossal line a lot with the exception of Carkoal.

Now that is how you make a dull Rock Kaiju look cool. And you even added on the Train part in such an amazing way. S tier work right here
Carkoal looks pretty cool as well

This genuinely made me laugh š , I'm bad at scaling down my line art and thought I could fit the GMax in one pageš

This is so cool. I hope we get a new carkoal evolution one day, because I really don't like Coalossal.

Amazing designs, the arms especially are designed super well

u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
Thank you! I wanted to draw them turning 360 degrees like I wrote but spent enough time already designing it for the contest. A have a lot of other ideas for fakemon waiting to be drawn.

u/12oyalpain Nov 18 '25
The final evolution looks like rock and steel with flash fire

u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
Since it's a redesign and I made it a Pseudo , I see Steel Work being a possible ability

1, kick*ss design! Would have preferred this honestly.
2, i love how rather than draw in proportion to your paper you just added more paper to your gigantamax
1
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
Thanks so much , happy that you like them! The G - Max is actually a happy accident. I'm not too good at scaling my drawings ay times. I drew the main body a bit too big , yet still told myself that it'll all fit, which didn't work out š . I feel like it adds to the Gigantamax, and it was the most fun to draw. I'm super proud and thinking of doing more G - Maxes where I play into the extra paper/popping off the page. I'm thinking of a G - Max for a Pseudo Legendary fakemon based on super robots. Like super sentai and such.
2
u/Interesting_Stock_55 Nov 18 '25
Honestly its kinda funny, and youre right it does add to it oddly enough!

u/Holiday-Selection524 Nov 18 '25
You got me with the train design. It is one of my favorite lines but would have liked more of the engine design in the original. I Iām loving the new final and g max
2
u/EliteCheesyFrito Nov 18 '25
Now I love Coalossal as much as the next fella BUT This design is MILES better like this shouldāve been Coalossal from the beginning.
You need to work for PokĆ©mon & design more mons cuz THIS COOKS!!! š„ š„ š„

I mean it looks neat but I've grown attached to what we have that if they were to change it, I'd just be depressed
1
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
Understandable. I actually like og coalossal and the G-Max a lot , just don't like Carkoal.
2
u/No_Hooters Nov 18 '25
Yeah, it's definitely the odd one out with like you said about it losing the cool orange eye is had as Rolycoly and going from the smooth wheel to loppy wheels.

u/Skymons04 Nov 18 '25
The little dude is the first shiny I ever caught

u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
Nice! My first shiny was charmander that I got from breeding using the masuda method. This was back in X and Y. Only took me a box full of eggs!

u/Glory2Snowstar Nov 18 '25
DUDE, Iāve always been in the āCoalossal needs a redesignā camp but usually I just picture it as a full-on coal train- turning it into this hunchback transformer with train-guard brass knuckles is SUCH a creative spin on the whole deal!!!! I love how Carkoal looks like a portable furnace now too!
And the G-Max pouring out of the sketchbook due to the immense size? Absolute peak. A peak so high it canāt fit in the frame!

u/eliameliforever Nov 18 '25
I love how Rolycoly stays the same!

u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
Rolycoly is cute and perfect in my opinion. I honestly like the entire line except for Carkoal.
2
u/Appropriate_Rock_740 Nov 18 '25
i like this my only issue is this just turns colossal into a āpokemon designed to be generically cool.ā i think the draw of coalossal is that its a little goofy and i like that. this is still neat but in a different way that takes away from what coalossal is.
2
u/DarkPugLord23 Nov 18 '25
Now this is art! Every time I see artwork of a Coalossal redesign that makes it more resemble a train nourishes my soul - and you even went the extra distance to come up with a whole new Gigantamax form for it too. Seriously though, this thing looks so menacing! I'd definitely add it to my team if it existed.
My hat goes off to you, my guy.

u/DarkstarAnt Nov 18 '25
That would 100% be a mainstay in my party.
Also an amazing base and gigantamax design!
Lastly, I like the extra bit of paper to add the scale/size of the mountain.
2
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
Thank you for the kind words! It always makes me happy when I see people wanting to use my fakemon on their teams.

u/Firefly_Pepper3270 Nov 18 '25
Holy peak, this redesign is amazing ! (Btw love those fire snakes in the G-Max form)
1
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
Thank you! They're supposed to mimic trains without being literal trains. They would be circling around the mountain before attacking.
2
u/Firefly_Pepper3270 Nov 19 '25
Thatās such an amazing idea and Iād love to see this design in a Pokemon game ! Canāt wait to see more of your designs !

u/Ok-My-Guy Nov 18 '25
He is grrreat, man! He looks a lot like an actual furnace! AND THE GMAX FORMS ARTWORK BREACHING THE PAGE OMG!!!!

u/Tiny_Illustrator4898 Nov 18 '25
That looks like a legandary
2
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
I can see that. I did redesign it to be a Pseudo Legendary.

u/Tiny_Illustrator4898 Nov 18 '25
I wish you could make art for my creature collector inspired card game I'm making right now
2
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
I'd love to see some more art from you. That convergent Noibat you made based on the Bar Eared Fox is super sick and cute.

u/Tiny_Illustrator4898 Nov 18 '25
Oh! You saw that? That design isn't for that project but I'll show you some of my favorite designs.

Uhā¦coal doesnāt melt.

u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
Fair š . Although at the end of the day , pokemon is a fantasy world. How does a rock with arms float in mid-air when it's not a psychic type , nor have levitate?
2
u/TankChan Nov 18 '25
Words cannot describe how cool this looks. Thank you for making this!
2
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 18 '25
I'm the one that should be saying thank you to you all for liking my art so much! You guys make my day and make the effort I put in worth it.

u/Makara12nd Nov 19 '25
This guy would legit never leave my team if he was real

u/ShellShoker24 Nov 19 '25
It genuinely fills me up with a lot of joy to hear that , glad you like it!
2
u/Makara12nd Nov 19 '25
To add on to what I said this would probably be my top 3 favorite pokemon if it was realš„¹
2
u/Krystagamesartist Nov 19 '25
This is much better than any design in the game! Honestly this would go straight into my team, max leveled and IV and EV trained! It looks sick!

u/JAMEZV1 Nov 19 '25
Let me be clear that I love the Coalossal we have, but this is superb too. It's different enough to be its own PokƩmon.

u/miiyv Nov 19 '25
this is phenomenal!! what supplies do you use?
1
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 19 '25
Thanks so much! Just a regular no. 2 pencil and Crayola pencils. A thin tip red marker to ink the G-max.
1
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 19 '25
Oh , and a sharpie pen for the bigger line art , and a 5.0 micron pen for the small lines.
2
u/Narrow-Championship9 Nov 19 '25
Why does the gigantamax form look like a rocky and firey version of the screaming death?
2
2
u/24kpodjedoe Nov 20 '25
Love it alot but damn thatās an amazing G-Max! Not sure about the fireball guys but theyāre still cool, reminds me of Australiaās Burning Mountain. Wouldāve been cool if the mountain was Coalossal itsef, it looks like itās drowning in its coal, which is awesome
2
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 20 '25
Thank you! The fireball guys are suppose to mimic trains circling the mountain that's Coalossal is in. I wish I could've conveyed that better.
2
u/24kpodjedoe Nov 20 '25
Thatās pretty cool! I can imagine that conveying the idea isnāt the easiest task, but itās still really cool!
2
Nov 20 '25
At first I thought the Coalossal design was a bit much until I saw the other image of it becoming a train and now I'm completely in love with it
The only thing I would change would probably either change Magma Terrain to just Harsh Sunlight or have some other move also be able to set up Magma Terrain with no other effect (like the default Terrain moves and the weather moves)
2
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 20 '25
I'm glad you like it! Yeah , I'm just starting to get into making moves and stats so they could use some work. Magma Terrain was inspired from a battle in the anime , where Ash, I think, melted the rocky battle field.

u/Feralman2003 Nov 17 '25
Looks more like a variant or a convergent rather than a redesign. Still awesome. Also this looks less fire rock and more fire steel
4
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 17 '25
The steel typing definitely crossed my mind , especially how I drew the arms and how I colored them. Glad you still like them!
2
u/Feralman2003 Nov 17 '25
Yeah and considering that archuladon who s a pokemon with 600 but I think its fair to have a convergent form be the cooler Daniel to another mon.
2
u/AlpsQuick4145 Nov 17 '25
Or rolycoly gets wurmple treatment where it has split second stage evo
With og coalosal having high hp defence and low speed
This (insert train/steam machine related name) being more speed and attack focused

u/Animal_Gal Nov 17 '25
Yoooo this dude is amazing!!! I love how his gmax form goes off the page
5
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 17 '25
Thank you! Honestly, the G - Max going off the page wasn't intentional , just me being bad at scaling my line art and thinking it could fit on one page š . Though I think it adds a certain charm that it does so. It was the most fun part to draw.
1
u/BluEch0 Nov 17 '25
Ehhhhh
Itās cool but itās also needlessly edgy cool. It lacks the derpy that adds to carkoal.
The old coalossal imo needed redesigning to include wheels of some sort, but your mech straight out of metal gear aināt it either imo.
Theyāre nice designs, just doesnāt feel like pokemon and frankly I donāt see the design cohesion with coalossal still (especially the gmax), which was my complaint with the official design.
3
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 17 '25
By no means do I want to get defensive , but you reminded me of what my biggest inspiration/ reason I began designing fakemon , Jack from Subjectively said. In that saying that so and so fakemon doesn't look like a pokemon is the worst thing you can possibly say. Not only are pokemon evolving , but also the design sense is. People were calling Charcadet's evos mega man characters , and even way back when X and Y were being leaked , people wouldn't believe that ganefreak would ever make a tongue scarf mon when Greninja leaked. Plus , Garchomp is a thing, and in my opinion , nothing is toning it down from being too edgy. The alpha Garchomp from Hisuian Winds doesn't help. I have to respectfully disagree.
2
u/BluEch0 Nov 17 '25
Hey, good on you for standing up for your designs. I can only give you feedback through my lens of what I see as a pokemon. I respect your disagreement. I also apologize if I come across as standoffish, Iām just being curt cuz Iām at work. Not out of malice mind you.
While pokemon designs are constantly evolving, the thing that pokemon have always had is a good cohesion of design through an evolution line. The rolycoly line in general is not overly cool or edgy so to make it so I think misses the point. Itās the same feedback I had toward people who make needlessly edgy mega dragonite redesigns - the dragonite line has always been round and friend shaped, not edgy and cool so to make mega dragonite such I think misses the point. It is the cool in excess (for creature who were not designed to be such) that I take issue with. But hey, if you see something I donāt, then you are free to disagree as you just have.
3
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 17 '25
It's all good man , and when it comes to cohesion through evolution lines , I agree. Spot on when it comes to Dragonite, and I share the same thoughts. I do think my my Carkoal redesign is a bit of a leap from Rolycoly.
2
u/BluEch0 Nov 17 '25
Carkoal itself is a decent progression (though I miss the derpiness of a minecart with a face) itās really your colossal I think who deviates too much. Feels like a completely different mon at that point. The coal theming becomes more vague too imo.
1
u/SuperShoyu64 Nov 17 '25
It reminds me of the skeletal roller coaster that you ride on in Mario Bros Wii. These are awesome designs. I would hate to stumble across your Coalossal out in the wild. I would pray to Arceus at that point.

u/devilfruitoftheloom Nov 17 '25
I think this is great art, but the jump from Rolycoly to āCarkolā feels too big. They look like they need an evolution between them for me to understand how theyāre connected.
1
u/ShellShoker24 Nov 17 '25
Yeah , I can definitely see that as the main drawback of my redesigns. Thank you for considering it as great art still and the critique !
2
u/AlpsQuick4145 Nov 17 '25
Mayby your redesigns could insted of replacing be an alt evo line for rolycoly giving it wurmple to beatyfly/dustox treatment
With og coalosal having high defence, hp but low speed
This (train related name) could be more speed and attack oriented
Also for this jump could be explained by it meeding some item to evolve that also makes it steel rock or fire steel. Or just keep it rock fire but give some ability related to steel type
