Your concept and idea call for a steel/dragon, reggie, don't twist it to fit it into the rock/dragon mold (why would you ever choose a rock/dragon pokemon if you can get a steel/dragon with a rock type move?).
If you want to make a similar pokemon to be found in the present and say in the pokedex entries that they might be related (which might be actually interesting), go ahead, but no (bad) clones. And no duplicates by gender unless it fits the concept and has a very good explanation.
Turtwig, I wouldn't worry about an early dragon being OP (you can get tyrunt, gible and axew at 10ish levels in XY, and there will be fairies too, including a starter), I do worry about an early steel/dragon being OP, which is why I suggested making the prevo dragon only and have it evolve at a high level.
Nod3 said:Sorry to go on a tangent, but professorlight, it's Stegosauruses. Only words with latin roots have plurual form "i" from "us". Since Stegosaurus has a greek root, it's just stegosauruses. Also, even if it was latin, it should only end "i" not "ii". The "ii" in radii is because there is already an i in radius.
Now, that aside, is there a plan to have a back in time dimension (in the same way platinum had a distortion world dimension)? How far back will it go?
Yes, there will be a past world, and it has the same extension as the present world. it does change a little, though.

Sorry. It's just that a lot of people wanted it to be part rock. And Shardagon has always been dragon only.

It's looking better, that's for sure. The changes I'd suggest are:
- give them both a few weak moves at level 1 and low levels
- switch imprison for block, as I understand it, imprison is some kind of spell or something of the sort, block is more fitting.
- switch giga impact for thrash, giga impact can't be learnd by unevolved pokemon.
- The abilities in both pokemon are very good, having tough claws and strong jaw give it a good incentive to diversify the movesets.
- remove the tutor moves, those are irrelevant to us now
- change the evolution to Lv40, 34 seems too early for the kind of beast you have there.
- make the evo learn crunch by level up
- remove ice fang, it could be learned as an egg move with poison fang, the other two are fine
- the prevo could use slash
- switch up outrage and iron head
- the level jumps seem a little excessive, even for the kind of thing you are trying to do, but maybe someone more informed can give an opinion on that.
All in all it looks much better, but I hope to see designs soon. And don't stick to the moves to make the design, if you need to tweak the moveset to better the design, do it.
Akwila said:Also Regi, I would suggest that it evolve way late, like lv60 or later.
professorlight said:Get it to evolve at 42, reduce the level difference between moves to 4-5 and take out roar of time (it is different from sacred sword because it's the signature move of a main legendary, while sacred sword is the signature move of a trio, and it fits honedge perfectly). Also, Lv1 bite is too much, change it to Lv8, please.
MuhFugginMoose said:I can't help but agree with these guys on this.
Roar of time on a "regular" in game 'mon is a bit too much.
Akwila said:I was the one who suggested Roar of Time. I figured that it fit well. Clearly not.
._.
Also, after reading a bit, apparently I am just full of bad advice...
