All Past Paradoxes are bigger than the Pokemon they are based on while all Future Paradoxes are smaller. It's supposed to be a juxtaposition kinda thing but all it really does it make Future Paradoxes even lamer tbh.
I think the implication might be that future paradoxes are more "optimized", just like how technology improves by making things smaller and smaller.
And evolution also took that path. First dinosaurs, then megafauna of a the ice age and now the animals of the present which are mostly smaller than their ancestors.
In a biological sense being bigger doesnt necessarily make you a better life form. Being smaller means you require less nutrients to mature and regulate, and its inarguable that it helps hide you from predators. Gestation period and offspring birthing size may also be easier, smaller animals tend to reproduce more rapidly and in greater numbers than larger ones, even though larger animals do tend to have a longer life period. If you as a species has the same combat/hunting prowess as you did before, growing smaller is still optimized adaptation. Granted all of this probably goes out thw window since we can assume these Pokemon being robots dont reporduce but are manufactured. The genderless-ness of future paradox pokemon makes sense. It wouldnt be mechanically equivilant if past paradoxes had gender and could reproduce, but it would make more sense.

That's not true, nothing in the game replied that they are manifactures. Miraidon carries Cyclizar DNA in it, which both means it's organic and that is related to Cyclizar, being the result of biogical evolution that involves reproduction.
Paradox mons are "Gender Unknown", not genderless. Genderless Pokémon actually do not exist in Pokemon, they are all just unknown.
My running theory is the paradox futures are exactly like the chimeras of Mother 3 or Robotnik's robocized animals; humans had fused these creatures and machines together to create cyborg or fusion beasts. They still posess their old DNA but this is not natural adaptation, this is an artificial process. Hypothetically an animal with prostetics may still contain the organs required to sexually reproduce but how can you replicate these mechanical beasts without the surgical process? Because while you are correct DNA from Cyclazar exists in Miraidon I also fail to see a single part of any future paradox that isn't metal or an LED screen, no biological organic matter seems to exist. You make a good point about differentiating genderless from gender unkown, and perhaps their method of reproduction is part of the fiction but how would cyborgs create other cyborgs?
Well, not making much biological sense is definitely part of their whole gimmick. They are PARADOX Pokémon. The game definitely acknowledges that things don't add up.
Living animals evolving into robots does indeed make no sense, and neither does Walking Wake evolving into Suicune. That's the mystery that surrounds them.
That would explain why they are not steel type. They pack natural connection to element
Dlc leaks or fan theory?

We don't know for sure yet. The game is hinting at something in that direction and Khu also hinted at stuff like this, but we don't know the actual answer yet.

Fan theory that explains all the holes in the "time machine" story. Holes that the game itself draws attention to, mind you: >Arven says it makes no sense that the Scarlet/Violet book could contain mentions of Paradox Pokemon before Sada/Turo brought them to the present >The AI says that the technology to create such an advanced AI doesn't exist, and is only possible because of the crystals >Paradox Pokemon dex entries only mention that they show up in the Books and Occulture, while even fossil pokemon and obscure legendaries like the Regis have some actual information about their ecology in the dex

What the frick did they do to Roaring Moon in Home?
The Violet Book describes paradox pokemon as "compact" and the Scarlet Book describes them as "huge."
It's probably because megafauna was more common in the past and technology gets smaller over time.
Yeah there are a little r of mons I don’t understand. Farigiraf and Slither Wing are meant to be the same size, but even measuring Slither Wing fully stretched out I find that hard to believe.
Iron Valiant is a literal sex bot

roaring moon is an exception, its tiny even in game.
That's weird, I didn't know it was like that. Doesn't seem intentional because it's the only exception.
its not just in home, check your Scarlet, bring out both roaring moon and salamence side by side. They likely made it small as a joke.
Yeah I got that, it doesn't seem intentional in Scarlet either is what I emant. I just didn't know because I played Violet.
God mega salamence is so incredigly ugly
Roaring Moon is a fricking Monlet. I was so disappointed I took it off my team and used Slither CHAD instead.

Anon, Paradox Pokemon are not real. Terapagos made them up.

Paradox pokemon aren't real. Heath made them up and Terapagos gave them form because Sada/Turo believed so strongly in them.

Just why.
Past was wild and the future is mild

Tech get refined.
Any pic comparing Volcarona, Iron Moth and Slither Wing?
I can’t get a good one with just those three but have one with advisor squeezed in between.
There's no way that Slither Wing is to scale.
It is. It's fricking huge.
That's what I mean. It looks tiny in that pic. It's exactly twice the size of Volcarona, but in that pic they look about the same.
It's just the perspective. Slither Wing is long, but it's shown from the front on all fours.
True. Since the renders are 2D, they aren't good at showing length, which is presumably what Slither Wing's size value in the dex is measuring.
Yeah there are a little r of mons I don’t understand. Farigiraf and Slither Wing are meant to be the same size, but even measuring Slither Wing fully stretched out I find that hard to believe.
You're forgetting about the tail, anon
Pokémon like that are measured head to tail
Cute bugs!
blueballs of the century when i found out that the desert iron treads was a titan and that wasn't its regular size
it's better for evolution for things to get smaller
technology gets more compact as it improves, not really much more to it
