Remember how many fake leaks there were the week before Sword and Shield were announced?
This tardigrade starter (it doubles as a visual pun on the "water bear" nickname) is honestly one of my favorite Fakemon I've seen.
Fortunately or not, I couldn't be fooled into thinking it was real because the other two were so remarkably bad (not to mention that the artist posted them as he made them and *actually incorporated feedback from each into the next* as if hoping to make them look more plausible, which doesn't work because they were all supposed to be part of the same set and it just made it obvious he was making them as he went), but I so wish it could have been real anyway.
I think it's now in the guy's Fakemon region, but I couldn't find it again so I'm just posting the fake leak version instead.
