Mega Gigantamax Kaijus - Nidoqueen & Nidoking!
🕑 Added 2019-10-29 22:38:55 +0000 UTCKaiju - Kaiju is a Japanese word meaning "strange creature". In English, it has come to mean "monster" or "giant monster", referring to creatures of a large size seen in movies from Asia. Many kaiju movies are made in Japan. It is a type of tokusatsu entertainment. Kaiju movies usually show a monster attacking a major Japanese city or battling other monsters.
Gigantamax - Gigantamax (Japanese: キョダイマックス Kyodaimax) is a special kind of Dynamax introduced in Generation VIII. Like other Dynamaxing, Gigantamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically and increasing their stats in battle. Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax, and when they do, their appearance changes significantly, unlike regular Dynamaxing.

Today we have two new Megas - Nidoqueen & Nidoking! And, well, unofficially I suppose they are also our first "unofficial" Gigantamax Moemon! Because they're huge!
Well not really, they're base height 0 (Nidoqueen) and 20 (Nidoking), but they sure look cool when you scale them to massive proportions!
Note: Actually, in the scene above, they were shrunk down to .900, the rest of the city was just reduced even further! Ha-ha! Bamboozled again!
The main inspiration for these two came from these two fan art drawings of what their megas could look like. They both have a heavy emphasis on "big fists", which I think was a bit inappropriate. Nidoqueen/king are Poison/Ground, not Poison/Fighting, and although Megas can change your type, the artist of these two pieces still had them listed as Poison/Ground.
Am I being too nitpicky? Am I making up excuses so I don't have to make them have very large hands? Yes.
There's other places I reached for inspiration, like these two drawings depicting a personification of Nidoqueen / Nidoking (regular, non-Mega versions).
And then of course there's the Kaiju themselves, such as Godzilla. I can't be the only one who saw a similarity in their appearances (more so with Feraligatr, but...), right?
Whatever, here's their cards:

They share the outfit set from the base Nidoqueen/Nidoking, btw. Only main outfit is different, I think. Might be some minor alterations (like Mega Nidoking's gym outfit?)
Anyways; Enjoy!
