#365 Walrein used Ice Fang and Ice Ball in our Pokemon Generation III Art Tribute

Walrein using Ice Fang by XRed-moon

XRed-moon from the USA joined our Pokemon Tributes as one of the first new artists in January 2018, the same month we started the Generation III Project. In 2019 she returned with her submission of the cute Leafeon, which will appear a bit later on GA-HQ as well!

Have a look at her whole gallery here!

 

Ice Fang

“The user bites with cold-infused fangs. This may also make the target flinch or leave it frozen”

The Ice Fang is a strong Ice-Type attack that was introduced in Generation VI and as a 10% chance to Freeze its opponent or and also a 10% chance to inflict the Flinch status on it. The first Pokemon in the Pokedex that can learn it, is actually the Arbok.

Ice Fang was introduced to our Pokemon Art Collaboration by two of the Generation II Pokemon. Piloswine and Suicune!

 

Walrein using Ice Ball by Ra-ooo

Ra-ooo joined Game-Art-HQ in 2013 and became a contributor when he submitted an impressive and quite sad illustration of the Flute Boy from Zelda AlttP for the Link’s Friendlist Project in early 2014. He contributed multiple artworks to Link’s Blacklist and also a super unusual game (Super Bust A Move 3) for our Nintendo 64 Anniversary Tribute. His take on Exeggutor using the Barrage move was his first submission, followed by Dugtrio using Bulldoze. 

He returned in 2017 and 2018 for our Gen II and III tributes and is already a part of our just-announced Gen IV Collaboration as well!

Ice Ball

“The user continually rolls into the target over five turns. It becomes stronger each time it hits”

The Ice-Ball is a damage dealing Ice-Type move that was introduced in the Pokemon Generation III games.  This move will cause damage for five rounds, and every time it hits, its damage will be bigger, well imagine getting hit again and again by an Ice-Ball that grows and grows 🙂 

Sealeo was the first Pokemon in our series of Projects that used this move!

 

 

Walrein

“Walrein swims all over in frigid seawater while crushing icebergs with its grand, imposing tusks. Its thick layer of blubber makes enemy attacks bounce off harmlessly”

Walrein is a dual Ice/Water type Pokemon introduced in Generation III. It is the final form of Spheal, evolving from Sealeo at level 44. It lives mostly in icy cold waters and caves. This majestic walrus pokemon is known to swim in frigid seawater, where it breaks apart icebergs with it’s imposing tusks, which while able to shatter blocks of ice weighing ten tons with one blow, they can break apart during duels with other Walrein.
 
Said duells happen whenever an intruder invades on it’s territory, as Walrein are very protective of their herd of Spheals and Sealeos, and will even put their own life at the line to protect them. It’s covered in a thick layer of blubber that not only insulates it’s body from the harsh cold temperature but also provides extensive protection against enemy attacks, making them bounce off like it was nothing.
Despite it’s bulky build made for defense, most of it’s attacks are offensive and cover a lot of types. What makes it stand out among attackers, however, is that’s the only pokemon able to learn both non-normal One-Hit-KO moves, Sheer Cold through leveling and Fissure as an Egg Move.
