What would you do to fix Scovillain's design?
How would you design a Fire + Grass type who's competitively viable but doesn't rely on Sun?

Tiki was probably just as common for grass/fire as pepper was in terms of fakemon. they should've copied that instead.
just do that. no chlorophyll. maybe flash fire.

I already like it, but I think it doesn't look like a final evo. Give the line a 3rd stage with 3 heads, one of them yellow. Might be cliche at this point, I've seen quite a few fanmade evos with this 3-headed concept and I don't like any, but imo it's just the artists being incompetent, not that the concept is necessarily bad.
>How would you design a Fire + Grass type who's competitively viable but doesn't rely on Sun?
Moody is already the most annoying shit imaginable. A 3rd evo simultaneously allows eviolite scovillain to exist as well as another mon with the same type combination but higher stats. You could replace insomnia with a better ability like flash fire, dry skin or sheer force. The last one particularly can be insanely strong with LO and the options fire and grass have (almost every fire move burns, energy ball lowers SpDef).

But Scov doesn't rely on sun. It's a Moody user with respectable stats and recovery moves.
Scrap the design altogether, it's ugly.
Give it Contrary. It already has Overheat, Leaf Storm, and Spicy Extract.
Evolution
>from vaguely dinosaur-esque to humanoid
No thanks
This. Make it look more like some reptile or dragon and it'll be awesome.
I once saw a Scorvillain evo concept that turned it into a convergente evolution Hydreigon and honestly I wouldn't even be mad if it turned out like that
This shit is already hymanoid
Being bipedal is not being humanoid.
More like Megas
His design is perfect. I wish they'd been kinder with his stats but they were at least nice enough to give him higher attack stats than Shiftry or Victreebel. The biggest issue is that his physical attack is completely going to waste. Could've used Sucker Punch, or give him access to Flare Blitz + Solar Blade so you couldn't be certain whether it was a physical or special Scovillain.
Being the only chlorophyll mon that's fire type is extremely notable. The stuff that does for his viability is immense.
My Moody Scovillain is fully defensive EVs with seed bomb and flamethrower so that he can benefit from both offensive boosts.
Why not Giga Drain and a physical fire move instead to have more HP drain?
I didn’t really think of that but fire fang sucks so eh
I always liked Dr. Crafty's Stumpyro line. Not sure what I'd do specifically to give it competitive viability, though; I'd just give it good stats and a useful ability.
Remove the arms
please be ironic
but i fixed it
those aren't spikes, those are thorns which are appropiate for plants
