Ok, we have plenty of fakemon threads, but how about a fake variant thread.
Scandi form Wishiwashi school form.
It’s based on surströmming:

Living off the Algae that form in the Scandi Fjords, these gray Whishwashi have developed a film that give off a putrid odor, akin to salty, rotting flesh. Parts of its body have seem to have become translucent, giving the illusion that it’s decomposing.
It’s a bit of an acquired taste, obviously, but there are people who love the smell.
It’s not advised to use them as bait, because the film lingers
A study on the Fjord Algae has shown that it has no effect on any other Pokemon or human. But the Wishiwashi just love to eat it like they’re old Chinese ladies at a seafood buffet
