Review of sudowoodo/bonsly?

Bonsly is one of those pre-evos that was added after the gen that its evo debuted in. Bonsly probably didn't have exist, as I do feel like Sudowoodo is strong enough to stand on its own, but it's a fun addition to the line regardless.

Visually, I like that's mimicking a bonsai tree—makes sense from a progression standpoint. The way it has a "pot", combined with the single branch of "leaves" on the head, give it a very different body shape from the much longer Sudowoodo. Also, the way its eyes become the spots on Sudowoodo's torso is a neat touch. Overall, it does a good job of visually connecting with its evo while still being unique enough as its own thing.

Another thing that's neat about Bonsly is that it sort of has a secondary form of mimicry—it sheds "tears" from its eyes that are actually just excess water (because it's a rock-type, and they tend to not like water that much).

It also isn't as good as holding still as Sudowoodo is, and has to know mimic in order to evolve—basically, it doesn't evolve until it gets better at pretending to be a plant, and I think that's neat!

And Sudowoodo itself is honestly just a classic. The idea of a rock-type—the type that resists most of a grass-type's weakness—that disguises itself as a tree is just insanely memorable and fun. I love how this is played up in the games as well—for example, it can be found in hordes with Trevenant in XY, and in PLA they freeze if you get close to them.

I also like that, visually, it kind of looks like a tree, but not really. Like, those ball-shaped "leaves" on its forelimbs look enough like stylized branches that you'd probably accept it without questioning anything, but in reality, no other grass-types have leaves shaped like that. Same thing with the spots on its torso—they kind of look like a wood texture, but most actual tree 'mons have lines or a wood grain instead of perfect yellow ovals like that. The out-of-place twig on its head also adds to this, and the lanky body shape is unique and works well with the concept. Great stuff, and super simple to boot.

So yeah, really great line. Fantastic concept and execution, memorable, simple designs, and a lot of personality. It's impossible to not like these guys.

Also, side note: we need a Sudowoodo convergent line, and it very specifically needs to be a grass-type that disguises itself as a rock. That one speaks for itself, I think.
