#100 - Vineper (vine + viper)

#101 - Tangelobra (tangle + tangelo + cobra) (tangeh-LOB-ra but you can pronounce it tanjeh-LOBE-ra or whatever, I'm not a cop)
Citron Pokémon
Grass/Acid-type
They use their acid defensively as well as offensively, creating miasmas of acidic gases in addition to spitting corrosive venom. Their skin is thick with hard armor, and will express small amounts of acid when struck.

Base Stats: 65/95/79/60/69/80

This line was originally Aspen and Vineper (Grass/Dragon) but I changed my mind at literally the last minute of drawing it when I liked how the cobra hood and spikes were coming out.

    Upon first read, I pronounced it as tangeh-LOBE-ra. So now you have a third option. I gotta say, it's refreshing seeing a snake Pokemon that isn't Poison-type but then you've always been really creative with your Gaiien mons! ^_^
