Figured I'd try my hand at making Paradox Pokemon from Scarlet and Violet. Darkvision is simply because they're only found in this one partially hidden cave. Quark Drive was the result of me realizing that since this is a construct it should have something akin to Living Construct... and I couldn't figure out how to make the actual Quark Drive work here like it does in the games, so it kinda works out since all Violet paradox pokemon have Quark Drive. This is also where "Violet Paradox" came from for the trait describing Iron Valiant's creature type as construct. The rest are a combination of Gardevoir and Gallade traits, including the languages they can learn. I realized this was a missed opportunity to give it proficiency with the Double Bladed Scimitar or at least give it a trait that allowed it to take the Revenant Blade feat, but since I believe that's a weapon exclusive to Eberron I decided against it. Either way, this thing is strong enough as it is. --MetalShadowOverlord (talk) 05:29, 12 July 2023 (MDT)
