#fake pokemon

original design 

Tried making a fake Pokémon based off of a unicorn and marble statues but it didn’t turn out all that pokemonish

birb type

presenting two ghost type eeveelutions vote now on your phones

every pokequeen so far xD stay tuned for more evolutions, forms and queens…

Any idea for the starters? Who could they be?

Pokémon mood still coming in strong, have some ideas on evolutions too!

Two of my designs for Smogon’s recent CAP project, where they’re going all out to create three starters. Their typings are Fire/Ground, Water/Bug, and Grass/Electric, but I only managed to draw the former two. Based on shooting stars / star-nosed moles, and diving beetles / atlas mythos respectively. Neither won but the bugger reached top three, so that was nice.

Been itching go create an ogre species for some time, but things were going slow since my concept just ended up looking like a classic ogre except in a Pokemon style. CalagrianKnight on one of the fakemon discords I frequent cooked up the idea of a lizard using its own severed tail as a weapon, and was kind enough to let me use that feature for this concept, so many thanks!

Names: Instinct+Skink, Troglodyte+Bite, Ogre+Overhaul

Notable moves: Crunch, Knock Off, Pursuit, Parting Shot, Dragon Tail, Dragon Hammer, Outrage, Autotomize, Hammer Arm, Superpower, Iron Head, Heavy Slam

Started out as a design about moles and making mountains out of molehills, but I felt it needed an additional element to it. After giving the last stage a hat, it sort of continued from there. First stage’s name is self explanatory, last stage is Mountain + Mitre +  Mountmartre.

Notable moves: Earth Power, Power Gem, Dazzling Gleam, Moonblast, Wish, Healing Wish, Trick Room, Calm Mind, Thunderbolt, Charge Beam, Focus Blast, Stealth Rock.

Have another bird design, based on quills, scrolls, ink pencils, and books, and secretary birds. Along with the writing theme, this design is also a take on the same concept that Smogon tackled some time ago for one of their own CAP creations Necturna: a Pokemon that can learn the move Sketch once. Which is why the base stats are way lower and more equal overall than my usual style, can always revisit them in the future if the stats undercompensates for the trait of choosing whatever move it wants.

Names: Scholar+Lark and Fairytale+Air+Tail

Notable moves: Sketch (once), Dazzling Gleam, Play Rough, Air Slash, Brave Bird, Defog, Swords Dance, Calm Mind, Agility, Roost.

Oh right, forgot to post this one. One virus evolving into another, the fever ridden base stage yearns to be cold, which triggers quite an unusal metamorphosis! Last stage has a bit of icepicks and skii gear thrown in as well alongside the bacteriophage design, somehow wish I could’ve bridged the two a bit better but I went with a thematic connection than a visual one this time. Might have been too greedy with the Magic Guard ability, but I couldn’t make a design like this without ignoring the threat of Stealth Rocks.

Names: Fever+Virus and Icicle+Sicken

Notable moves: Ice Beam, Freeze Dry, Icicle Crash, Ice Shard, Icicle Spear, Signal Beam, Lunge, U-turn, Leech Life, Fell Stinger, Flash Cannon, Dazzling Gleam, Sludge Bomb, Giga Drain

Gonna make a note that I’d also like to give it Tail Glow, but might be too much for a mon that’s fast and can easily afford a Focus Sash, who knows.

A design that I managed to churn out quickly, based on dynamite sticks and rat kings (see lower corner). Final stage definitely ended up too cartoonish for its own good, guess I’ll have to live with that.

Notable moves:
Crunch, Foul Play, Power Trip, Dark Pulse, Nasty Plot, Parting Shot, Burn Up, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Flare Blitz, Fire Lash, Will-O-Wisp, Explosion, Dazzling Gleam, Sludge Bomb, Gunk Shot

Most of the time, elemental stones only evolve Pokemon of the same typing, with the only exception thus far being the Eevee family. With this concept, I wanted to break away from that. The middle stage is struggling to keep out the cold and could sure appreciate to generate heat of its own, all it takes is a spark to get the process going (note the matches on its head). With the fire stone acting as that spark, the flames becomes part of itself, thus transforming it into a fiersome protector of the forest. Or maybe a wildfire passed by and it simply refused to fall to it, I need to finalise my dex entries one of these days. 

Names come from Fawn+Forest, Tinder+Deer, and Elk+Kindle.

Notable moves: Flare Blitz, Blaze Kick, Flame Charge, Wood Hammer, Horn Leech, Wild Charge, Double-Edge, Head Smash, Jump Kick, Earthquake, Burn Up, Will-O-Wisp, Morning Sun.

Peacocks are great, so it’s only natural that it has been used as base for other fakemon artists,some of them turning out really cool. Dreamcatchers are also prime material for this endeavor, and given how plenty of them are adorned with feathers, incorporating one into a bird felt like a natural approach, and peacock fit the bill (heh) just nicely. I rarely make new abilities since I want to work with what’s available, but given the lore behind dreamcatchers, along with the fact that this species would really hate the move Pursuit, then it had both a reason and a cause.

Names comes from Peck+Necklace and Peacock+Charm.

Notable moves: Psychic, Psyshock, Future Sight, Miracle Eye, Hypnosis, Calm Mind, Shadow Ball, Hex, Will-o-Wisp, Destiny Bond, Mean Look, Roost, Tailwind, Defog, Moonblast

Notable lack of moves: Cannot learn any Dark type moves.

Edited: Changed the name of the base stage.

Awkwhal - Horn Whale Pokémon

Type - Water

Ability - Torrent / Ion Laser (Hidden)

Evolves into Narwatt at level 17.

It has a hard time moving about on land, but it’s not a very graceful swimmer, either. Its observant, curious disposition appeals to studious new Trainers.

Narwatt - Shock Horn Pokémon

Type - Water / Electric

Ability - Torrent / Ion Laser (Hidden)

Evolves into Cetayser at level 35.

Its horn is electroreceptive, allowing it to scan its surroundings on land and underwater. It’s clumsy, and may sometimes shock itself while doing so.

Cetayser - Electro Beam Pokémon

Type - Water / Electric

Ability - Torrent / Ion Laser (Hidden)

Its stunning intelligence is envied even among Psychic-types. The rings along its horn glow when it powers up with electricity, before it zaps its enemies with blasts of lightning from the shining tip.

Ion Laser - This Pokémon’s beam and shot-based moves are boosted by 20%.

The nerd starters of the trio!

Charcrow - Ash Bird Pokémon

Type - Fire

Ability - Blaze / Black Smoke (Hidden)

Evolves into Graven at level 17.

The smoke it emits from its tail comes from embers near the ruff of its neck. Its quiet, reserved temperament makes it popular with certain Trainers.

Graven - Omen Pokémon

Type - Fire

Ability - Blaze / Black Smoke (Hidden)

Evolves into Apparaven at level 35.

Its feathers are dark because they’re stained with soot. It prefers to battle at night, when its ghastly cries unsettle its foes and it can fly about unseen.

Apparaven - Gothic Pokémon

Type - Fire / Ghost

Ability - Blaze / Black Smoke (Hidden)

It conceals itself in a thick cloud of burning smoke, forming ominous shadows to terrify its opponents. Hearing its haunting song at the stroke of midnight is said to be a curse.

Black Smoke - Upon switching in, this Pokémon clears the stat changes of all Pokémon in battle.

The goth starters of the trio!

Scrimmulch - Tumble Pokémon

Type - Grass

Ability - Overgrow / Heavyweight (Hidden)

Evolves into Baskeetle at level 17.

The shell protecting its abdomen is tough and woody, and grows harder with age. Its never-give-up attitude makes it an ideal pick for new Trainers.

Baskeetle - Free Throw Pokémon

Type - Grass

Ability - Overgrow / Heavyweight (Hidden)

Evolves into Scaraback at level 35.

It builds muscle by lifting and hurling rocks. Groups of Baskeetle often get into competitions over which of them can throw rocks with the most accuracy.

Scaraback - Touchdown Pokémon

Type - Grass / Rock

Ability - Overgrow / Heavyweight (Hidden)

Its wooden shell has grown harder than diamond, and protects it when it slams its full body weight into its foes. It carries a boulder to use as a projectile, but in a pinch, it will throw Scrimmulch as well.

Heavyweight - This Pokémon’s tackling moves drop the target’s Speed stat, and it also takes half damage from those moves. This includes moves like Tackle, Take Down, Wood Hammer, Body Slam, Heavy Slam, and Body Press.

The jock starters of the trio!

Now what could these be?

Seekore - Helmet Pokémon

Type - Steel

Ability - Rock Head / Sheer Force / Illuminate (Hidden)

Evolves into Ransaxe at level 33.

A strange Pokémon, believed to have been created by humans long ago. It dwells inside caves, using its sturdy metal claws to scrape and pry iron loose.

Ransaxe - Miner Pokémon

Type - Steel / Fighting

Ability - Rock Head / Sheer Force / Illuminate (Hidden)

Singlemindedly dedicated to excavating precious metals, they have devastated many natural mineral deposits. A single Ransaxe can deplete a mine of all its ore, while displacing native Pokémon and causing rockslides.

My submission for Smogon’s CAP 28, which is so far a Bug/Dragon with Neutralizing Gas and Compound Eyes. I obviously dipped back into the same well as Draborate for treehopper + dragon, but this one also takes elements from dragons in fairy tales that lock princesses in towers. It’s both the dragon and the tower!

Basebat - Bat Pokémon

Type - Fighting / Flying

Ability - Ball Fetch / Guts / Steadfast (Hidden)

Evolves into Vumpire at level 29.

It’s a fast, but very clumsy, flier. Caves are often filled with the sound of Basebat knocking into each other or the rock walls.

Vumpire - Sport Bat Pokémon

Type - Fighting / Flying

Ability - Ball Fetch / Guts / Steadfast (Hidden)

It lives in groups of nine adults, all of whom protect young Basebat by wrapping them in their leathery wings. It has a strong competitive streak, and groups of Vumpire rarely get along.

Glaburrow - Mole Rat Pokémon

Type - Ground

Ability - Unaware / Adaptability / Sand Force (Hidden)

Evolves into Glaborehol at level 28.

Its skin is thick and pliable, so it can escape from even a cave-in unharmed. It digs elaborate tunnel systems that can support whole ecosystems.

Glaborehol - Mole Rat Pokémon

Type - Ground

Ability - Unaware / Adaptability / Sand Force (Hidden)

With its sharp incisors, many limbs, and powerful body, it can bore through solid rock without even noticing. Often, a Glaborehol will dig out a primary tunnel, and Glaburrow will follow to create smaller offshoots.

Hamstare - Gazing Pokémon

Type - Psychic

Ability - Night Vision / Clear Body (Hidden)

It creates a forcefield around itself with its psychic powers. The forcefield shields it, and also functions as a single giant eye, letting it monitor its surroundings even in total darkness.

Night Vision - The user’s Psychic-type attacks are super-effective against Dark-type Pokémon.

Gliderweb - Balloon Pokémon

Type - Bug / Flying

Ability - Intimidate / Aerilate (Hidden)

Its abdomen is full of gases that allow it to float, trailing a line of sticky silk below it to ensnare prey. Its eye-like patterns scare away potential predators and distract from its true head.

Afraize - Chill Pokémon

Type - Ice / Ghost

Ability - Ice Body / Refrigerate / Sticky Hold (Hidden)

Evolves into Corpsicle with an Ice Stone.

Its body is made of ice, so during the day it melts away into nothing. Each night, it freezes again to haunt empty kitchens.

Corpsicle - Chill Pokémon

Type - Ice / Ghost

Ability - Ice Body / Refrigerate / Sticky Hold (Hidden)

It manifests out of thin air in the very back of freezers. When someone reaches inside for a midnight snack, it strikes, licking them with its long tongue to give them severe frostbite.
