Ladies and gentlemen, Dipplin has arrived. Oh yeah, he brought some friends, too.

Dipplin

Wattrel (upscaled from leParagon's 64x64 sprite)

Kilowattrel (upscaled from leParagon's 64x64 sprite)

Gogoat (upscaled and adjusted from the Smogon backsprite)

Edit: corrected some details on Dipplin's sprite now that we have a better view of the model, and added its shiny form.

Lots of new sprites

Hisuian Lilligant, expanded from Red7246's 64x64 sprite

Mareanie, upscaled from leParagon's 64x64 sprite

Toxapex, upscaled from leParagon's 64x64 sprite

Duraluldon, upscaled from the Smogon Spriting Project's Gen 5 backsprite

Archaludon

Farigiraf

Tinkatink

Tinkatuff

Tinkaton, hammer borrowed from GriloKapu10's 64x64 backsprite

Hydrapple

Also went ahead and corrected details on Hisuian Sliggoo and Goodra; turns out they only have 1 spot per cheek, unlike the Kalos form, which has two.

I love these! Thank you for the effort in making them. I was looking for some sprites of the new mons like Archaludon for example.

Hey, I wasn't really 100% happy with the Hisuian Typhlosion KRLW890 made (it was a good sprite, but the ears were not hanging, and it didn't look sleepy enough. The flames could also be improved), so I tried to make a new one using the colors of the front sprite made by KingOfThe-X-Roads. I also thought the Slither Wing sprites by NanaelJustice could use some more detailing on the horns, so I made a slight change to those as well. I hope both of these were okay to make?

Edit: I also found a back sprite of Scovillain made by Carmanekko and noticed that it was taking up 192x192 pixels instead of 160x160 despite being Gen 4-styled. So I shrunk it down and re-edited it to match the other Gen 4 back sprites.
Also added Milcery and Wooloo, but unsure if someone's already made those?

Edit: I also found a back sprite of Scovillain in one of the backsprite packs made for the community on Relic Castle. Couldn't find a credit for it, but noticed that it - despite being made in the style of Gen 4 back sprites - was taking up 192x192 pixels instead of 160x160, and it was touching both walls of the canvas. So I shrunk it down and re-edited it to match the other Gen 4 back sprites. Credit goes to whoever made the original, all I did was edit it to match the other sprites. Also added Milcery and Wooloo, but unsure if someone's already made those?

Looked for the Scovillian credit and found that the original sprite was made by Carmanekko. Additionally, the Slither Wing was originally made by NanaelJustice on Relic Castle, I just posted it here (with their permission).

I liked the Skeledirge sprite that NanaelJustice made, but still felt something was off about its "hair" and the way its head was turning, so I put together a new one by upscaling and editing one of the 64x64 sprites from the "DS-style Gen VII and Beyond Pokémon Sprite Repository in 64x64" at PokéCommunity.
Saw we didn't have Hisuian Samurott and Walking Wake either yet, so I did the same with those, but also re-colored them using the colors of KingOfThe-X-Roads' front sprites. The guys over at PokéCommunity have yet to give credit to the artists, but states they're working on it, so I'll be updating this with proper credits once they finish that. I hope that's okay? Unless it's not okay to use their sprites, I'll likely continue with some of the other ones that're missing.

Edit: Grammar, spoiler, and a pixel error

Skeledirge

Hisuian Samurott

Walking Wake

What mons are missing sprites?
Gen9 DLC stuff?
