i love lapras so much!! I love drawing them, so i did some ms paint drawings of them and some ideas for a little evolve

[injuries-in-dust]

I got some inspiration to draw pokemon based on type combinations that havent yet been used in the games.

My first idea was this regional variant of a Sandshrew.

Based on the pink fairy armadillo.

Could you draw a Pokémon based on the Lusca (a creature in Caribbean mythology)?

(in order:)

Name: Luscling (Little Shark Pokemon) Type: Water  Height: 0.95m Weight: 9.1kg Description: It is curious by nature and attracted to movement in the water nearby. It will gently touch and grab things with its tentacles. It likes to carry small objects and will swim alongside people and Pokemon.

Name: Luscuron (Walking Shark Pokemon) Type: Water/Dragon Height: 1.5m Weight: 27.2kg Description: This Pokemon uses its long tentacles to travel out of the water for short periods of time in order to find food. It often seeks out tough objects to chew on in order to strengthen its jaws.

Name: Lusctruo (Squid Shark Pokemon) Type: Water/Dragon Height: 1.9m Weight: 40.8kg Description: It makes its home in deep-sea trenches. Should a boat pass over its territory, it will attempt to grab it or punch it with its powerful tentacles. When not defending its territory, it has a docile and peaceful nature.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've never heard of a lusca before, so I don't have any background with it, and I've also never designed a Pokémon before. I ended up having way too much fun with it, and now there's a whole line with little dex entries.

Probably the most fun request I've ever gotten

I drew a @pokemon based on an old t-shirt design I did for a padel club. It’s name is Senake (original...) and it is a dragon and fire type pokemon!

Australian Pokemon: non-natives

For this set of my fakemon set in the Goorda region, based on a combination of Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand, I focused on non-native species. Both countries have a lot of introduced and invasive species to draw on for ideas. I previously made a regional Buneary and Lopunny based on invasive rabbits. Previous posts: regional standards, creepy lines, regional variants, birds, early-game standards, misc, misc, starter variants, starters.

First up is Sprigorse, the Long-Beard Pokemon, fairy/grass type. These Pokemon were introduced from a different region and have become an invasive species. Their bodies are made of wood and they wear crowns of flowers and long beards made of branches and leaves. Both the flowers and beards will spread seeds, growing foreign plants that outcompete natives. Sprigorse live in colonies in the forest and are led by the member with the longest beard. They are known to prank and attack travelers through the forest.

Sprigorse is based on two plants that are invasive in NZ: old man's beard and gorse. Both were brought in from Europe and are now outcompeting the native plants. Like the plants, Sprigorse is foreign import. I based it on a spriggan, a mythical creature from England, where both old man's beard and gorse are native. Spriggans were usually depicted as wisened old men and were said to inhabit wild places and were often malicious. Srigorse's name comes from "spriggan" and "gorse"

Next up is Tahrkid, the Ice Horn Pokemon, ice-type. Tahrkid's horns are made of ice and regrow stronger when broken, so they repeatedly smash their horns to strengthen them. They are highly dextrous and can leap between peaks and climb nearly vertical surfaces. Tahrkid was first introduced to Goorda from a region far away.

Tahrkid evolves to Yodhatahr, the Ice Horn Pokemon, ice/fighting type. Their horns are made from nearly indestructible ice, allowing them to pulverize boulders with a single headbutt. When two fight, the slam their horns together until one's horns break or it submits.

Tahrkid and Yodhatahr are based on a combination of mountain goats and the Himalayan tahr, a species of wild goat found in the Himalayas. Yodhatahr also has ram horns and Tahrkid appears to be wearing a coat and ski mask. Tahrs are an invasive species in NZ, where they can outcompete local herbivores in the mountains. The line's ability to climb nearly vertical surfaces is something real goats do and real goats also headbutt when fighting. Tahrkid's name comes from "tahr" and "kid" (juvenile goat) while Yodhatahr's name comes from "tahr" and "Yōd'dhā", the Nepalese word for "warrior". Presumably this line would originate from the Pokemon world's Himalayas and would therefore be known in the Pokemon version of Nepal.

The final line for this post starts with Dimpole, the Ball Pokemon, poison-type. Dimpole were introduced to Goorda from another region and have become an invasive species. They bounce and roll on their spherical bodies in such numbers that they coat the land during breeding season, causing a trip hazard for humans. They enjoy bouncing and being sent flying, so humans will hit them with sticks and golf clubs to get them out of the way.

Dimpole evolves to Foretitoad, the Toad Pokemon, poison-type. Foretitoad are an invasive species in Goorda. They leak toxins wherever they go, allowing them to reduce fertile fields to bare ground, while also making them too toxic for predators to eat. Females have spikes on their backs that they use to carry their eggs. When the young hatch, they use their paddle-shaped tails to send the young flying into new habitats.

(Male on left and female on right)

The Dimpole line are based on cane toads and toad golf. Cane toads may be the most notorious invasive species in Australia. Because of how many there are, people have invented various ways to kill them, the most infamous being toad golf: hitting them with gold clubsPart of the reason cane toads are so invasive is because they're too poisonous for most native species to eat. Dimpole is tadpole merged with a golf ball while Foretitoad is a toad with a golf ball belly and throat bouch, gold visor shaped head crest, golf club shaped tail. and the females have spines shaped like golf tees. Also their eyes look like the logo of Golf Australia. Golf is also not originally from Australia and, like cane toads, is terrible for the environment. Dimpole come from "dimple" and "tadpole" while Foretitoad comes from "fore", "fortitude", and "toad". @reikomania helped me come up with the design for this line.

fakemon i came up with :)

[chocolatechipkraken]

Regional Bulbasaur line based on sakura mochi

They're all Grass/Fairy type

[sigilyphy]

Have you seen this cactus? Now you have! Barrelcotta is a fakemon I made under some randomly selected traits my roommate decided for me. It's a grass/water type. Barrelcotta launch themselves around with pressurized jets of water stored in their pots. They are surprisingly nimble.

(ID: A round, sage green cactus with long chunky arms and fingers sitting in a terracotta pot. It has two tiny dot eyes and a large smiling mouth like a happy jack-o-lantern. It has pink spikes on its arms and as its nose, as well as a pink crown. Water spouts from its head as well as from the bottom of its pot, suspending it in the air.)
