>>54004768Kotora and Raitora are Electric/Fairy mons (I am using Fairy as a type because I think it adds a lot, though I'm explicitly theming it around the idea of fae folk and youkai as opposed to cutesy and pink, so I'm not following many of Game Freak's fae types like Jigglypuff). The idea is they're kind of living bells; they're just round and their chuffs ring. They bring luck and the large Raitora are treated as guardians of small villages in China.
I haven't fleshed out their lore too much and they might be due for a revisit though. The basic idea though is hopefully clear, weird shinto guardian tigers. A direction I thought of going earlier with them was Electric/Ice, with them being like Siberian Tiger snowballs. It's cute and might be worth looking into. What's important is it's not another mono-Electric Pokemon, and it's got stuff to differentiate it from Raikou.
>>54004783I sadly had that be one of the ones that didn't make the cut. I couldn't figure out what they were really going for with it, or how to make it work in a way that seemed fitting. I've heard someone say it could be seen as a "catcher" plant to mix with the pitcher, but I don't see the baseball theme much in it. You could maybe argue that it could be a Grass/Fighting if it did go for that? If it's any consolation, The Bellsprout line was given the ability "Sweet Trap", which just traps Bug Pokemon, and could synergize with some anti-Bug grass moves.
To give a Pokemon, I'll include one I imagine no one would ask for normally, Ladybuh. In the Spaceworld, the beta Ledian seems to have been unrelated to Ledyba, and it seems to have been a mimic. So the idea is done here, Ladybuh are meant to mimic Ledybas from afar, but when a weak Bug Pokemon approaches, the Ladybuh will bully them and steal their food. Thematically it's meant to be a mon that works well in the early game, but falls off later. And it goes well with Ledyba becoming a superhero in Ledian. It's also pure Bug, oddly rare.
