This is a great concept! However, I think it needs a bit more to set it apart, as right now it's fairly plain. Also, why does it need defensive weapons if it relies on its speed? I'll make a movelist later. Ambush seems a bit OP. Might just be me. Also, I see Color Change as a gimmick ability that should be reserved for Kecleon. Well, maybe not since it's hard to strategize with it... but Quick Feet is possible.

Your suggestion is missing some of the most vital information required: a Pokédex entry. You need to provide two lines of information, 85-100 characters long in all. Your description of Cladator could be adapted to a Pokédex entry, but it'd be preferable if you supplied us with one.

Other than that, I agree with elementalpenguin in that Color Change is Kecleon's unique ability, which makes it different from all other Pokémon. I think that a strong justification would be needed for another Pokémon to use it. At the moment, Cladator's color-changing ability seems slightly tacked-on. Maybe you could make its knack for camouflage a bigger part of the concept, as opposed to just a side-idea?

Thanks for the critique penguin . I see him as a mid range predator like a fox so its at risk from bigger things so I included the paddles for protection. It is a hit and run predator so if its target survives its first hit it needs back up, hence the paddles. Maybe I should change Ambush to a Zap Cannon like attack 120 power/50 acc/ 100% chance of Flinch telll me what you think. I like colour change on him because it really shows that CLadator is super adaptable.

Gah, I forgot about Pokedex. What is wrong with me today? <_< Also, I believe Darkwolf mistyped - it's two lines, not three. Oh, and if it's mid-size, its size should be mid-size in the info - 4 foot 11 inches is still fairly tall. And the Zap Cannon type move might not be a good idea, since flinch is quite a bit less useful than paralyze.

Decent concept, but desperately needs something to set it apart. If we're going for it being adaptive and able to deflect the weirdest of attacks, I'd cut some speed and add defense, together with an ability that for example shielded it from extra effects of attacks(like Shield Dust, but fitting for a predator instead of a worm

) So it could be a swift in maneuvers and combat, not run speed, per say.

On the other hand, if we're going for a speedy surprise attacker, ditch the protective "shields" on it's hands and focus on it being able to ambush anyone, anywhere - and keep stats as they are, maybe cutting speed a bit since 130 is already the spot for third-fastest non-legendary shared with Crobat, Jolteon and few others. And give it an ambush-sort of an ability. For example, making it flinch the opposing pokemon when it switches in. Intimidate could work as well.

Or, if we want to expand the "mid-range predator" -idea, we can do that; make it have an ability that increases it's attack when facing a lighter/smaller pokemon and increase defense when facing something bigger.

My two cents at this point in time.

Maybe Ambush could work like a stronger Fake Out, guaranteed flinch but only on the first turn?

Ambush Physical Normal
80/99 10 PP
Only works on the first turn of battle. Guaranteed flinch.

Thanks for the feedback Ill work on the pokedex tonight and maybe update the picture. I want Cladator to be super fast and agile so i guess I'll ditch the paddles. I realy like your idea Zeldafan of Ambush being a super strong fake out. Ill update the entry later on tonight.

If you're going to go for speed and agility, then I agree with FoxOfWar and think you should reconsider Color Change as an ability, perhaps changing it to something more fitting.

I liked FoxOfWar's thoughts on that as well:

"Or, if we want to expand the "mid-range predator" -idea, we can do that; make it have an ability that increases it's attack when facing a lighter/smaller pokemon and increase defense when facing something bigger."

However, you don't need to come up with an all-new ability. Of the existing ones, I think that Intimidate, Keen Eye, Pressure, Quick Feet, and Steadfast could all possibly work.

As I said before, I like Quick Feet. However, if we're going for the speedy type that takes down prey immediately, Quick Feet might not actually work as that means it would have to have a status. I like Keen Eye.

Alright I updated the profile. I changed his name form Cladator to Predaptor. It goes better with the concept. With the ability I would choose guts over everything you guys suggested because it needs a trait that helps it out of stick situation like a useful adaptation. Thanks for the feedback though.

There is another vital piece of info missing: what level it learns the mvoes at. What moves it learns is useless if they are all learned at level 100 besides one status move that it learns by default.

Remember, Quick Feet is basically the speed version of Guts.

I updated the movelist. Elemental I dont see the use of quick feet since predaptor is already extremely fast for a pokemon.

I like this idea a lot. The Pokemon series has not enough vicious Pokemon. I don't understand the typing, though. It looks like it could be a Dark type, but the Normal type is just too bland for something this cool.

I dunno, raptor/wolf hybrid is already straying dangerously close to "the most generic Fakemon possible", it doesn't need a Dark typing to help. A lot of predators tend to hide in foilage, so maybe give it a Grass type and turn the fur into moss?
