Why not tie them together if you could find a nice coincidental connection that's a pun on another crab species' name that fits with the current one's goals? It's a neat way to have an evo line imo. It's like bagon to mence but without shelgon or as drastic a change.

The existence of Luxray didn't stop them from making a better lion (Pyroar).
The existence of Spinda didn't stop them from making a better panda (Pangoro).
So we can at least HOPE we'll get another coconut crab in the future.

>>31890155
Technically speaking, Luxray is something between a lynx and a tiger, which makes Incineroar the following counterpart. Opinions if it was for better may and will vary.

Velociraptor arm bones still have quill knobs IIRC, so it's likely that they evolved from animals that could actually fly, and that velociraptor forelimbs should in fact be called wings even though velociraptors themselves were flightless.

Cockatrixes are known for being uber poisonous and I think Dragon would be overplayed, so I was thinking Rock/Poison would be neat.

>>31902463
