IGN: IgnaTheKing
You are losing damn it! you need something but what! is it a good attack, a tremendous speed OR BOTH!
then lets see this little guy!!!!
[Spoiler]
POKEDEX NUMBER OF HOENN: 204- last pokemon GENERATION 3 Type: Ice, Dragon
1. The concept
Name of the concept: Counter Attack; Sweeper, Physical Sweeper
It is just an idea, I did not have anything more to do so I decided to make one at last, it is mine and I can demostrate it if you want to ;D took me a long time to make
General description : Dracomass is a powerful dragon pokemon designed to resist and try to battle the Ice pokemons. He has a great Attack and Speed. In the aspect of learning tms, he is really a good choise because he can learn a good range of them including almost every ice, fire and dragon attack due to the types. He becomes extremely dangerous when he uses those fire attacks against the ice pokemons, he has a great potential but he and all of the pokemons are limited to 4 attacks, he also has a low defense.Due to the weaknesses the people will start using more fire, steel, fighting and rock pokemons and the people will not use the types flying, Grass and Ground pokemons as much.
Justification: He is a great choise when you fight against the ice type, having this pokemon in your team also means that the ice attacks wont hurt Dracomass as much as the others dragon pokemons because the principal type of Dracomass is the Ice, However, the ice weaknesses will hurt him a lot. His attack and speed are beasts and can make an instant counter attack making the metagame and the battle more entertaining, more interesting and more dynamic. This icy dragon pokemon is necessary in the game since in generation 3, they didnt put it. Explanation: Many people look for a dragon team has I do because I love dragons.
When we face a trainer this trainer can have an Ice type pokemon and destroy us in 2 secs,
but with Dracomass we have at least one opportunity to face this type putting also the pokemon in disadvantage because now he is vulnerable to several types,
adding more variety to the metagame, do you know the expression? Variety is the spice of life, well in a metagame it is always applied.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.Typing: I think this is a pokemon that needs to be in a game because in the third generation we face some ice pokemons (I remember Plubio with Sealeo defeating me) and although we are not talking of the other generations I also see it necessary in Sinnoh.
Game freak did put kyurem- he is a dragon, ice type but I feel that is convenient to put a ice, dragon type in the generation 3 and not that late.
Many Ice Pokemons like Jinx(G.1), Dewgong (G.1) , Piloswine(G.2), Regice(G.3) ,Glalie(G.3), Castform Ice (G.3) and a lot more powerful ice pokemons were created in the generation 1, 2 and 3.
This data are statistics and it is true that Kindra, Salamence, Flygon and Dragonite were out but Dragonite was almost unreachable because you needed the GBA link cable and the dragon pokemons were harder to train making it unfair for the dragon trainers.
-Dracomass has a great speed and an awesome attack almost as good as the one of salamence making it one of the most powerful dragon pokemons, if you are losing against any pokemon the stat of the speed and attack is really useful, once you lose a pokemon you can send dracomass to the fight and with his huge speed he can actually attack first and win the battle.
MAIN REASON FOR INCLUDING HIM TO METAGAME; Apart from being one more in the lack of dragon types he is great for strategy and a metagame, he is effective 2X to Dragon, Ground, Grass and Flying and he produces 1/2 to the steel, water,fire and Ice, that added to a dragon type adds more variaty to the combat because he is unprotected to dragon but he is effective to the 2X types mentioned above.
- My inspiration came from the love that I have to my dragon pokemons, it is my favorite type and I have been always waiting to create one until now!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.Threats: Through the stats the following will be the ones
-Attacks of ONE-HIT K.O like Fissure that is effective against the electric type.
-Not a mayor threat although dangerous: Pokemons will low speed due to the high speed of Dracomass
- Not a mayor threat although dangerous: Pokemons will high defense due to the high attack of Dracomass that will break the defense Through the types:
-Pokemons that are in disadvantage and considered threats!!!: Dragonite, Pidgeon, Sceptile, Marowak etc..
- Types that are in disadvantage: the dragon, flying, Grass and Ground types
I chose the following Pokemon because I wanted to give a more competitive look to Pokemon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.Abilities:
Primary: shed skin
Grass is kind of safe always because it has several attacks that can put you in a range of status but not anymore because Dracomass uses the same ability of Dragonite ``shed skin´´
Shed skin cures the Pokemon changing the skin having the opportunity to defeat the plant Pokemon with an ice attack. Secondary: Water Veil
Although is not a water pokemon he has this special ability to protect himself against one of his weaknesses, the fire type.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.STATS!
BASE STATS
HP: 93 Speed: 120
Attack: 135 Sp.Attack: 105
Defense: 75 Sp.Defense: 75
TOTAL: 603
similar to the other dragons with a difference of 3 in the total, he has great stats but he has a lack of dfense, putting his defense low makes an opportunity for the enemy to defeat him and making it FAIR for both trainers, a good combination of stats that has to be in a metagame.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.Counters
Great pokemons that can counter him: Steelix, Golem, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Arcanine, Charizard
Pokemon that learn ONE-HIT K.O attacks like fissure, Horn drill, Guillotine and Sheer Cold, this last one although it is a ice type it kills dracomass in one touch since the attack is a OHKO, Fissure can be frustrated with magnet rise but unluckily that attack was only available since gen 4 and we are in the third one. As I said in the general description ,due to the weaknesses the people will start using more fire, steel, fighting and rock pokemons and the people will not use the types flying, Grass and Ground pokemons as much.
Any pokemon that is: Fire, Dragon, Fighting, Steel and rock are great against this type of pokemon
*I wanted several types of Pokemon to be great counters for Dracomass because I dont want it UBER, this is because being an ice pokemon has more weaknesses than a dragon pokemon but it offers more opportunities to the fight and makes it more entertaining for the player/trainer.

7.Name: Dracomass
-the first part of the name comes from latin, Draco means Dragon
-the second part is an English word that represents thekg that he has, aprox. 50kg- he is very light and he has one of the best speeds ingame, it means a dragon with mass: referring to the speed
of the mentioned Pokemon.

Explosion Reasoning: I want it to learn several moves that are not Ice type and Dragon type, he learns a good range of them and he does learn as well some of the normal Ice & dragon attacks, that is basically my reasoning, he can fly because he also learns a flying attack and he learns the HM Fly, he can use strenght and Cut as well
-The attacks are basically excellent combining the ice great attacks with the deadly dragon ones. This is unique and new and it is the base of the reasoning, because appart from having the dragon and ice attacks he also uses & learns the other types moves, this is essencial for the counter attack and can suprise the enemy in many ways to make the battle effective to the player and the enemy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9.Roles in a team
These are the roles of Dracomass. Anti-Leads- due to great speed and the attack he can kill the pokemons leads, this pokemon is the first pokemon in the enemy team, also there are another leads called setups that spread over the field things like Spikes, Toxic Spikes or Stealh rock, the antilead needs to be the fastest in attack and it also needs to be a great attacker to finish the leads, Dracomass has this stats
ATTACKS - Hyperbeam if permitted -> Ice Beam, Dragon Dance, Flamethrower, Dragon Claw
STATS Hp: 300 Attack: 380 Sp.Attack: 260 Defense: 214 Sp.Defense: 220 Speed: 340
NATURE- Brave
Does not require an item for this position other than berries. Suicide-Leads- This is a lead that has an attack like autodestruction, when you are in the battle and you are losing with Dracomass, dracomass can use his speed and finish the pokemon using autodestruction.
ATTACKS- Explosion, earthquake, Dragon dance, Extreme speed
STATS: Hp: 290 Attack: 375 Sp.Attack: 250 Defense: 250 Sp.Defense:200 Speed: 345
NATURE-Naughty
ITEM: Chesto berry to keep awake the pokemon, to make sure the strategy works and the pokemon is able to explote
Sweepers- these are the pokemons that have a great speed and use it to finish the pokemons that have a great attack
ATTACKS- Extreme Speed, Rest, Fire Blast, Blizzard
STATS- Hp:290 Attack: 350 Sp.Attack: 250 Defense: 230 Sp.Defense: 200 Speed: 370
NATURE-Hasty
ITEM-A object that can increase the speed, but it is not really necesary. Physical sweepers- this role is a bit different and in my opinion the best one for Dracomass, It is based on the attack and the speed, for those that play lol it is like an assassin, a guy that comes with a tremendous attack and speed, easy kill and change in pokemon, this is the perfect role for him.
ATTACKS-
STATS- Hp 290 Attack: 375 Sp.Attack: 180 Defense: 250 Sp.Defense 200 Speed: 370
NATURE- Adamant
ITEM- Not necesary.

10.Pokedex Entries When you see it in a cave, running is not an option, it will catch you with his tremendous speed. It habits in the Dark and cold caves because it does not like humans although it is a fantastic companion if you train him from little. He lives in the dark freezing caves and he is capable of seeing in the dark, it scares the trainers that enter the cave and only the best trainers can catch him in his territory, he is capable of surviving years with only water
Many have studied him and scientifics have confirmed that this pokemon has been living for thousand of years in the darkest cold caves, this pokemon uses a lot the fire and the ice making it really dangerous in his enviroment.
examples for species
Dracomass- The light aggressive dragon
Dracomass- The darkness dragon
Dracomass- The cave dragon
