Either eventually get a robot T-Rex, access to Judgement (Pokemon God's signature move), or become the best healer ever.

There are a lot of great choices here and I will place my vote later. But for now I think I should make the argument that, since most of us seem to be trying to clear out the remaining Powers, we might want to pick one of the cheaper options so as to ensure there will be more points available next turn.
Personally I think Infiltrator or Arena Trap look more promising when it comes to the potential pokemon. One bypasses various damage-avoiding techniques and the other can keep foes from fleeing. If they work on humans then they are really useful for a superhero.
Scorgem has a fair few interesting abilities but Alex has been hesitant to use it because it's not that smart and depends almost entirely on borderline Master effects, turning it into a Pokemon would arguably solve both those issues.
Even ignoring the meme and the vague possibility that maybe he is more than he appears just having a summon that can learn useful moves and ignore pretty much any defence is worthwhile.
I'm tempted by Beta but I'm not sure how useful that would actually be…

[X] 100Gargant: Become a Machine from Horizon Zero Dawn. SPECIAL: Become able to produce HZD machines.
Fair enough but a quick heads up, the tally only counts your last post with a vote in it so if you want to vote for more than one thing you may want to vote for Perry and Lepton Daisy you'll probably want to edit this post to include them both.
Do we need to acquire HZDs?! Or does it have the schematics already?!

Really want this one too:
[X] 100 Centi: Become a Machine from Horizon Zero Dawn, and gain chainsaw claws.
[X] 100Deo: Become a Tyranid able to equip Biomorph Weapon
[X] 100Griever: Become a Tyranid able to equip Biomorph Weapon
[X] 100 Scorgem: Become a Pokemon Rock/Psychic, with Prism Armor
Rock and Psychic are both Types Alex does not have access to as of yet. Further, Psychic Pokemon have useful abilities that may help when facing other Psychic threats. Plus Prism Armor is a decent Ability.
[X] 100Hooch: Become a Pokemon Ground/Water, with Arena Trap
[X] 150Perry: Become a Pokemon Water/Poison, with Infiltrator
Both are very useful Abilities for Alex as previously mentioned. The first prevents common gangsters from running away from Compendium. Which if not yet a common result of Alex showing up will definitely become so as his reputation increases.
[X] 100Gargant: Become a Machine from Horizon Zero Dawn. SPECIAL: Become able to produce HZD machines.
HZD's machines are largely terraforming equipment if I remember correctly. This could prove very helpful in devastated regions, such as those affected by the Endbringers.
[X] 100Cumulo: Become a Mercury Djinn +6 HP, +8 Agi, +2 Luck, Generate a damaging rain cloud as an attack.
Djinn seem to work better the more one possesses. With Alex having no Mercury Djinn as of yet, this should open up new options for Summon Spirits. Also, I am curious as to how its Nimbus Rod will be affected by the change.
[X] 100Scp-387: Become The Construction Card.
The Construction Card sounds as though it might be very interesting. If it can create permanent structures, even if only simple ones, it could be used to create housing in areas that have been struck with disasters. Imagine if Compendium could create simply create new homes for the survivors of a hurricane with a wave of his arm.
[X] 100Silverwood: Becomes an Invocation, instantly purifying a huge area of taint (and similar effects) and sproutingshimmerleaf. SPECIAL: As it only affects an area instead of creatures there is no Pocket Dimension effect for this Invocation.
Depending on what is meant by "similar effects" this could either be a easy means of healing the land or a niche solution. Does radiation count as taint? What about Shaker effects or Biotinker plagues? @zagan do you want to weigh in on this?

It only works for the Horizon Machine that we already have. So at present only the Redeye Watcher.
I may also allow the Deathbringer even though we don't have it anymore. For the rest, we'll need to aquire them. Either by rolling them or by visiting this setting and picking them up.

I specifically mean magical or esoteric taint. I don't have any specific example in Mind, but things based on Necromancy or Eltricth contamination. In Worm I can't think of anything in particular.
If we get this with enough points, we ought to do [] 300 + 1/2X: Worm: Become a Shard, giving you access to all their powers directly. Function like a Custom Shards with Zveri Krestnyi Khod

Zveri Krestnyi Khod is not a creature, it's an ability that allows Alex to take this shape.
Also, the list of available options for Dimensional Adaptation is here, if it's not on the list it won't be available during the vote.
I'm open to suggestions but I have the final say. Each time we get a new creature I look at the list to see if I'm inspired. So it's up to date.
Vote Closed: Winning Vote: 150Perry: Become a Pokemon Water/Poison, with Infiltrator
So it's confirmed our cute hat-wearing Platypus will become a Pokemon. Originally I included the option mostly as a joke but I am fairly happy with it. I need to come up with the stateblock for it. I'll get back to you with soonish.
Perry can land a hit on Narwhal indeed. He can bypass nearly all forcefield (Narwhal, Shielder), all force of defensive clone (Spree), and also all forms of obsuring mist (Grue).
