I’ll cut to the chase. Anastasia needs more armors to sell. Her shop is remarkably barren, and I think armor is a great opportunity to give a chance to some Pokemon not currently in the meta.
And so… I kind of went overboard in designing… a whole lot. Without further ado, here we go.
.
.
Empoleon’s well-dressed for battle, as always.
.
We designed a full suit of armor for Slaking, but he only put half of it on and then fell asleep. Still functional, though. (And now edited to have actual shading!)
.
I introduce to you: Super Electivire! Ready to Thunder Punch people in the face and do generally unheroic things!
… God help us all.
.
“Straps? What a joke. Learn to hold your armor up with your telekinetic mind powers, then we’ll talk.” -Armored Alakazam('s trainer, probably)
.
I actually tried something different with this one. All of the in-game armor tends to go with different armor motifs (Medieval Europe for Zekrom, Samurai for Leavanny, etc.). For this Dedenne, I tried to replicate ancient Egyptian armor. It feels a bit different from the others, but at least it’s made from gold, not steel. Dedenne’s Fairy side is safe!
.
If Delta Volcorona has armor, Why can’t Delta Ambipom? This one seems like it really fits with the Cult of Perfection’s aesthetic, don’t you think?
.
And here we have Heracross, with a bit of an American football vibe about him. He’s totally ready to Mega Horn someone into submission (with +1 horn)!
.
This big Arcanine pupper radiates pure power and will burn away the competition! But mostly she just wants pets.
.
This Walrein has an ice-cold attitude and an outfit to match it. Chill out, dude!
.
And this armor for Delta Sunflora I made not because I thought it would look cool, but because this Pokemon desperately needs the defense boost. Maybe she’ll even be able to survive a single Earthquake now! Not likely, but… y’know…
.
Gigalith already seems pretty sturdy, right? Well now it looks like it could derail a full-speed train just by standing on the tracks.
.
Beauty, grace, and fighting for peace is what this Delphox stands for.
.
And Meganium wears their armor with pride and joy! They are ready to outgrow the competition as the third starter to receive an armored makeover! (And totally didn’t have the first design for this deleted when my computer forcefully restarted.)
.
Now we have our latest addition: Armored Druddigon! He’s wearing a scrappy, junker-style armor to help with that rough skin of his.
.

Thanks for reading! Please leave your thoughts below and tell me which one’s your favorite. I will probably be opening up an armor request thread soon, too, so look forward to that!
