>>32003693>>32003811>Grass/Electric Giraffe starterGet out of my head! My little fakemon idea i've been nursing for a while now has a topiary sculpture grass starter that turns into a Qilin/Giraffe with a blackened lightning struck treetrunk for a neck+head. Bonster, Arbestial, Thoperian
Subsequently a Fire/Poison bat starter from before Salandit was revealed. Smog cloud with batwings and flaming eyes, into grounded smog cloak with glowing ember body, into draculoid manbat. Smoldhir, Extorpor, Nosflaratu
and Water/psychic; Cuttlefish into meditating humanoid squid into a many-armed bodhisattva, all with a third eye motif. Cuttlyte, Theosofish, Krakenlite
As far as the Butterfree/Beedrill, good bug/bad bug dynamic goes: A Bug/Psychic butterfly with big false eye wing patterns and a Bug/Dark botfly. The eye spots vary by IVs.
For regional early bird; a canadian goose. Less about speed and more about attack. Give it Bite/Crunch and the Elemental Fang moves for some weird coverage.
The normal type "Rat," although it'd seem a little done at this point, would be a little stoat with confusion and stat upping moves to mimic the weasel war dance.
pika clone would be a packrat
3stage psychic would be an actual ballerina, instead of kirlia's halfassed shit. Pile on the gimmicky thematically appropriate moves like rapid spin, acrobatics, bounce, u-turn, round, false tears, attract/captivate, etc...
I really don't think there being a 3stage ghost is a niche. But maybe a ghost light like the sort that show up in hoax photos that evolves into a light being kind of like a reverse silhouette like that cliche alien's coming out of their ship scene. Make it ghost psychic.
Nix fossils all together, twist the gimmick into version exclusive cryptids all with a fairy typing. Starting with Mothman and Chupacabra. Flying and Dark respectively.
merge the kaiju with the magne/klink niche with a little touch of stuffle to get a windup toy that turns into a mech
