Lynel

Lynel is a Pokemon introduced in Batch 5 of the Fun Pokemon series.

Origin
This Pokemon is based on the Lynel creatures from The Legend of Zelda series. They are fearsome, brutish centaur-like creatures that wield all kinds of weapons from bows, swords, spears, and shields. This particular Fun Pokemon is based off of the Lynel from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Lynel's moves are based on his weapons and abilities in BOTW. Here is the breakdown:


 * Thousand Arrows is based on a Lynel shooting arrows upwards which home in on Link and crash down on to him.
 * Techno Blast is a Lynel shooting a huge fire blast.
 * Megahorn is a Lynel charging at a high speed while rearing its horns.
 * Psycho Cut is a Lynel using a sword attack.
 * Compound Eyes is not actually something a Lynel has and was only given to the Pokemon so his Megahorn wouldn't have 85% accuracy.
 * Burning Drive is the Lynel having a burning drive to kill Link.

Strengths
Lynel is a very good combatant in any scenario. His moves include Thousand Arrows, a strong enemy-only AOE attack, Techno Blast, a powerful Fire type move with his item Burn Drive, Megahorn, a strong Bug type move, and Psycho Cut, a powerful STAB move. His ability Compound Eyes makes his Megahorn always hit. From this you can tell he is very versatile, including having amazing type coverage and a mix of physical and special moves. This is on top of his above average speed and defenses. His move set is all around great and is rivaled only by others like Solguin, Sokka, and Link.

Weaknesses
Lynel is immensely powerful and has almost no counters. The only Fun Pokemon he usually has trouble with areAzula and Hadune because of their strong super-effective moves and speed.

Trivia

 * Of the five different types of Lynels that can be found in BOTW, this one is based off of the regular Lynel, or Red Lynel, as shown by his red color.
 * We could have used Solgaleo's non shiny sprite to make a Silver Lynel, but that was back when Dworlock was still playing BOTW for the first time and didn't want to spoil for himself what a Silver Lynel looked like.
 * The only real reasons for why we gave Lynel Techno Blast instead of another powerful fire type move are because we wanted to use another move we never used before for that purpose and because we had no idea what item to give the Pokemon and giving him a Burn Drive would have solved that problem.
