What's something in nature you think could make a cool Pokemon?
Hermit crabs.
If a real developer made a Pokemon game you could even have ones that walk into cool shit and use it as a home.
I'm probably forgetting one that already exists but I'd like an armadillo Pokemon
>>32536053
Sandshrew
Dragon/Grass based on a snapdragon flower is a rather obvious one that I'm surprised hasn't been done yet.
They also look pretty creepy when they die. Maybe a split Ghost/Dragon, or Ghost/Grass.

>>32535998
I just realized you posted the dead version. I just glanced and thought they were mushrooms. But yeah, that's what they look like when they die.

Need more fossil love, especially since they didn't bring any new ones for Sun and Moon. Was a good time for them to bring in a small prehistoric shark that then evolved into a megalodon, what with being on islands and lots of water around.
Puffin
>>32536406
It's literally in it's name that Sandshrew is a Shrew and not an Armadillo, it just rolls up like one.
>>32536539
please don't base your argument on its name, especially when it only applies to the english one. the french name calls it a weasel and the korean name calls it a mole. sandshrew is an armadillo, get over it.
Scaly-Foot Gastropod. It has a shell made of iron.
>>32536537
still waiting gamefreak...
a lot of birbs could still be done
roadrunner
secretary birb
flamingo
flying fish
peacock
emu/ostrich
macaw
>>32536539
It's actually a Pangolin.

And the japanese who named it first call it sand so clearly its a sentient pile of sand you fuck!

I guess Charmeleon is a chameleon too.

POKEMON DON'T HAVE TO BE BASED ON A SINGLE SPECIFIC ANIMAL, YOU STUPID DUMBFUCKS
HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO REMIND YOU
>>32538442
No but a lot of them are
Greater Sage Grouse.
Obviously part flying. Dont care what else it gets as a secondary typing. Maybe Fairy based on what I have in mind for it.
Based on the saying "it's not over until the fat lady sings" and would have an opera motif.
Access to sing, perish song, boomburst, round, and other sound based moves. SpA oriented.
This thing looks weird enough to be a pokemon so, why not?
>>32536483

Sawk and throhs original concept had them as this. I wish they kept it.
>>32542224
>posting the outdated version
an ordinary/possibly cute normal type that turns into a spooky ghost type when it plays dead
maybe it's a move or an ability that is activated by a status ailment
if it's status thing then you could set it off yourself when using Rest
>>32542294
Normal type with two abilities
>Play Dead
>User becomes ghost type every other turn
2nd ability:Parental Bond
>>32542243
that had to have been some kind of very specialized animal
no doubt went extinct when its main meal(s) did
a dung beetle that pushes a boulder like in the myth of sisyphus
>>32542243
This must have just been one normal shark that was a mutant. There is no fucking evolutionary advantage to that shit
>>32542914
>what is litten?
>>32542914
An Atlas inspired dung beetle would be cool too.
>>32542931
sorry, I'm a tourist that isn't current with the times
>>32542929
There actually is! Many creatures have long, sharp, backwards-facing teeth in order to easily snag slippery fish. So naturally, the only step up from that is to have a backwards-facing lower jaw. Although, it must have been extremely specialized to eat whatever it ate to have such a strange adaptation.
And no, it was not merely just ONE shark; multiple tooth whorls of multiple species of Helicoprion have been found
Also, it turns out that this pic I posted >>32542243 is outdated. Sorry. Pic related should be a more accurate depiction; the tooth whorl being further back in the lower jaw. I hope.

how bout just leave it normal/ghost for consistency
the idea is cute, but the gimmick mon's don't tend to work
When will they design a Pokemon base on literally my moms mom, and give it ghost type?
The cassowary. It's a big fuck off bird that looks like it's wearing a helmet and war paint.
And its call sounds absolutely terrifying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dcQO6Zb8Eg
>>32543515
what's it like being wrong about literally everything in life?
>>32538352
Well duh
>>32543515
Lazy bait
I know inflatable whales aren't in nature but GF hasn't made a dolphin yet so maybe they just need some inspiration on how to make a pokemon that isn't my mom's dolphin.
My mom's *inflatable* dolphin.
>>32535998
Surprised there still hasn't been one yet.
>>32544387
I know he's a joke Pokemon, but you shouldn't pretend he doesn't exist.
>>32544393
>That monlet
>An elephant
>>32542349
I like the idea of play dead, but not the "every other turn" part.
How about we make it somewhat bulky, and have it switch to normal/ghost when hitting 50% HP? Similar to Darmanitan's Zen Mode.
>>32544393

maybe but its still a perfect design

End yourself.
I bet you want every pokemon to be a literal animal. You disgust me.
>>32544403
Those pokemon are never good, they're just a giant pain in the ass. Unless you're Zygarde and get crazy stat boosts from transforming
I'd just give it an exclusive move that changes its type, like Melotta
>>32544485
What about
>Play Dead
>Works like Endure, adds Ghost to the user's type when used (Default type is pure Normal)
>If used in the same turn before getting hit by a Normal or Fighting move, raise all user's stats by one
>Make the mon that gets it the regional rodent
>>32544601
That's retarded.
>>32544606
Why?
>>32544612
You're singling out two offensive typings (one of which is the Pokemon's only weakness) as "Use these and you're fucked" because +1 to all stats is a ridiculous boost.
>>32544631
As a a regional rodent it will have pretty low stats to justify the boost (think Raticate). Also the conditions for its activation are very specific and easy to avoid. A fighting mon can just use a Dark type move to hit it supereffectively without triggering the boost if the opponent predicts wrongly.
Honestly I don't even see such a mon on a very high tier, I was trying to make an interesting gimmick. RU at best.
>>32536406
Pangolin
>>32543902
Is this not skarmory?
>>32544979
Well skarm can fly for one
>>32535998
A Normal type puppy the evolves into a Normal/Ghost type based on this guy.
>>32545644
You also evolve it be bringing the first stage to Maximum Happiness, then leaving it in the PC for 9 days, 9 hours, and 15 minutes.

>>32545087

Skarmory is a Stymphalian bird from the myth of Hercules
>>32536566
It's a pangolin, you bum.
I want a Wolverine-based Pokemon.
