    ➤ Raging Bolt - Paradox inspired by Raikou
    ➤ Iron Crown - 'Paradox Cobalion'
    ➤ Dipplin - an evolution of Applin
    ➤ Archaludon - evo of Duraludon

    Feels really weird giving an evo to a mon that was merely introduced one gen before, since I heard usually 2 gens are developed in tandem.
    It just felt like Archaludon was some kinda content that didn't make it into SwSh, but G-Max Duraludon exists so that also doesn't sound likely either.

    But yeah I guess with the quality issues of SV and the tighter development cycles, maybe short-sighted plans are to be expected now.
