My boi waited a quarter century for this

My son, he has grown.

So the tail head dies in this evolution?

Looks more like it tries to eat the real head.

Legit great evolution design

No, it seems like they have fused. It now protects the main head during attacks

Say head one more fucking time.

head

another sign that Game Freak ran out of ideas for designs...

"Hey guys, we need ideas for new Pokmon!"

"Just remix ones we already have by changing their parts around and voil! You got a new evolution!"

"Fucking brilliant mate!"

head

What does everybody want?

Finally. Normal/Psychic is a great type that was stuck on a shitty pokemon >_>

Oooh, is it going to be a Rock Head physical attacker? That could be neat.

Regardless, I'm glad the poor forgotten goober got a fun evo.

No, the main site says that their brains merge together.

i called it down to the exact name in the last girafarig thread

for what its worth tho, at least this looks cooler than that worm version of a Digglet. lol >_>

don't talk shit about WIGGLET

Ahh I should have known.

I love it.

i swear i saw that pic a month ago, i thought it was fanmade Pokmon.

You madmen, you gave it a foreskin!

i don't like the head-in-the-head thing they did with it. makes no sense

Okay but think how much cooler it would be if the front head was the one with its mouth agape in a lifeless stare as the tail head peeked out from its throat

Congrats, DarkRoast. I know you've been eagerly awaiting this day.

Not super into the design. The fan designs where one head "wins" and the other withers a little or where both heads evolve at each end are more interesting. Also the name doesn't reflect its structure anymore. It should be Farigfarig or Girgirafaf or something.

Whew, that's a relief. I always thought there was something interesting going on with Girafarig, but it turns out it was just garbage.

Nice. Now where's the Dunsparce evo?

It's a giraffe in a hoodie, I fucking love it

Its two abilities are Armor Tail and Cud Chew. The wording on Armor Tail makes it seems like it blocks the enemy from using priority moves all together.

Never because it's a tsuchinoko

This may be the only useful concept to come from this abomination.

Not sure if blinded by nostalgia, but look at Gen 1...

Then it would lose the palindrome in it's name...

the name is good, the design is awful

What, you're going to argue against the gen that gave us "bird evolves into bigger bird", "pile of sludge evolves into bigger pile of sludge", "mole becomes three moles", and "magnet becomes three magnets"?

that's how it's SUPPOSED to work, you either get bigger, or become three of something, or like dodrio and exeggcutor, a bit of both

Don't forget the classic "ball rolls over"

That's the point. It already lost the palindrome in its structure. Its new name should reflect the new orientation of its heads.

This evo is great you guys are TRIPPING

Are you seriously complaining that a game about children who fight organized crime using superpowered animals that they shrink down in balls and store in an online cloud doesn't depict evolution realistically enough?

It should have one final evo where the evil head finally eats the giraffe head completely.

Normal/Psychic has been used on two other Pokemon that aren't Girafarig. One is bad and the other is a event only mythic Pokemon so still stuck on unusables tbh.

Cool cool cool. Tropius evo now pls thanks.

That smug look now that it has protection with the harden tailhead.

Psychic / normal is kinda lame typing. Isn't that pretty bad?

Is that its foreskin

Normal gives a Ghost immunity (Psychic is weak to Ghost) and Psychic negates Normal's weakness to Fighting

Looks at gen 1 evolutions

Yeah you can sit back down now.

I love the idea, but holy shit the evolution is so basic. Girafarig is such a unique Pokemon, yet all they do is slightly change its look and give it a similar name. Imagine an evo that completely took over and took a new form. I like the typing because now it's immune to Ghost but they dropped the ball with this one.
