Weezing’s new Galarian design with the top hat and fancy moustache has already gathered a bit of steam, and it’s a design which could easily transfer to Ludicolo too. It’s a very popular Pokémon who already has a cult design, so it could get a twist to make it even better.

Ludicolo is currently inspired by a piñata, with some Mexican flair, so turning it into a British caricature could be fairly straight forward process. Switching the sombrero for a top hat or bowler hat would be a good start, but there’s a lot more you could do and changing its type could help too.

Water Grass is a very viable typing, especially in the original Sapphire game had you chosen Fire starter Torchic. However, to better fit Britain’s environment, switching to something like Ice, Normal or Dark could work just as well.

Stripping away the fun and funky dancing of the current Ludicolo to a more stoic, slightly posh toff Ludicolo could be a brilliantly camp Galar version. After Detective Pikachu made Ludicolo a cult figure again, a little change could make it even better.
