How many Pokemon are there that are based/resemble criptids?

Dunsparce is a Japanese cryptid called "nozuchi".

>>33056080
I thought it was a tsuchinoko? Still a cryptid either way.

Crabominable is supposed to be a yeti

>>33056090
Two different names for the same thing. It has a lot of different names. Also, you could probably go with Volcarona or Mothim for a mothman.

On a related note, a sigbin Pokemon would be fucking awesome.

Beeheeyem is literally an alien if you wanna count it

Golduck is based on a kappa

>>33056416
The new turtonator looks JUST like a kappa

Electivire is a decent enough stand-in for a Sasquatch.

>>33056416
I thought lombre was based on a kappa and shiftry was based on a tengu.

>>33056304
>Beeheeyem is literally the Flatwoods Monster
FTFY

>>33056476
LOMBRE IS A KAPPA
GOLDUCK IS A KAPPA
TURTONATOR IS A KAPPA
IS THERE ANY OTHER KAPPA I SHLULD KNOW OF?!?

>>33056489
Gothitelle also resembles the Flatwoods Monster if you ignore the antenna sticking out of its head.

>>33056416
It's not very apparent

>>33056073

Electabuzz?

What cryptid are sableye and magnezone based on?

>>33057900
Ufo and the Hopkinsville goblin

...u should've never posted this

Exeggutor is a jinmenju, Zapdos is literally a thunderbird, Golurk is a golem from Jewish folklore, and that dumb thrid gen one with the mouth hair is a Futakuchi onna.

>>33057925
Or just you know... Goblin.

-Most fairies, all dragons and ghosts can be considered as cryptids (or legendary animals, cryptids being just modern version of them)

-Gyarados and Milotic (sea serpents)

-Regis trio, Golem and Golurk (golems)

-Zapdos (thunderbird)

-Nemelios (manticora)

>>33056073
What's Lapris'? Also use the male mermaid.

>>33058076
nessie

>>33058031
pyroar is a lion played straight, not a manticore at all
>>33058076
its original US name was Ness, I'll leave you to figure it out

Does Gliscor count as a chupacabra?

Aren't cryptids just mythical creatures? Aren't like 80% if Pokémon based in mythical creatures?

Sigilyph is based on the nazca lines, not quite a criptyd but still conspiracy theory shit nonetheless.

abomasnow and craboninable are only named after an abominable snowman in english. Their actual designs have nothing to do with it. Mostly on account of Japan not giving a shit about yeti myths. Abomasnow's just a vaguely anthropomorphic pine tree, and Crabominable is just a yeti crab, and no, before someone's tiny brain stumbles on the word association, the fact that the crab is named after the yeti and the pokemon is based on the crab does not make it based on a yeti.

>>33056073
Emboar is based on the manbearpig

>>33058143
I always thought it was a bit more like a straight-up dracula.

What typing would a Tatzelwurm pokemon have? It'd definitely be dark but I'm debating on if it should be monotype dark or dark with something else.

>>33058208
>crab based on a yeti crab
>it's got white fur, is Ice type, and lives on a mountain
Sounds like a yeti to me. Seems like you have the tiny brain here if you can't get the joke they were trying to go with.

Hint: real life yeti crabs live near underwater volcanoes. The fact that Crabominable lives on an icy mountain is a reference to... you guessed it, yetis. I'm explaining the joke to you.

You're fucking retarded m8

>>33059236
Those are brass knuckles, you fucking mong.

>>33058208
it's both a yeti and yeti crab. how that managed to go over your head is beyond me. it was also designed by james turner who is british, so japan not caring about yeti myths doesn't apply

>>33059371
you should check the tcg art, you would see you are completely wrong. the claws make yeti footprints.

Goddamn we need a mothman pokemon. It pains me that this guy will never be real

>>33058152
Cryptids are basically modern mythological creatures.

>>33059956
it's literally not remotely yeti-like

Not really many cryptids, you named them all I think. But Rotom is a classic poltergeist, Mismagius is a bit of a witch, and Gyarados is a good sea serpent.

I want to make an /x/ team too.

Tentacruel could work, although giant squids aren't cryptids. They were at one point.

>>33062310
define "yeti-like," because the only thing it's missing is being a primate

>>33062401
>squid
It's a jellyfish. They aren't remotely similar.

>>33062409
I'm grasping at straws here. It KINDA fits. Every basic bitch names their Tentacruel "Cthulu" or "Kraken"

>>33062422
what about Malamar, who is an actual squid

>>33062436
It's not giant.

Mawile is based on the futakuchi-onna and Frosslass being based on the Yukionna of Japanese mythology are pretty good ones. Maybe throw Whiscash who's based on the Japanese catfish Nazamu who causes earthquakes.

>>33065259
Oh I'm retarded, someone already posted the first two mentioned earlier.

ITT: Nobody knows what a cryptid is and just posts mythical creatures in general.

>>33062563
Seeing how Tropius sucks so much, they should give it an evo based on Mokele-mbebe in a future game, but make it Grass/Water instead.
