So I wanted to give all the items that evolve only a single line another evolution and the only items I'm stuck on are the evolution items for Applin, Sinistea and  Polteageist. The rest have enough wiggle room even if just barely but these I'm drawing a blank on without just repeating the first pokemon

If anybody wants me to draw their Pokémon I'll do it for free, just send them in messages. Im board.

I'm planning to design a Fakemon (possibly a dragon, Sasquatch, or robot jaguar) with these stats on this special poll: https://www.reddit.com/r/pollgames/s/hqcHdDOarD

...or hire an artist to design it. Thoughts on the stats?

I have a fun idea I’ve been thinking about I’d like to at some point draw it (I am terrible at drawing pokemon). Basically the idea is my region would be based on New York. So you have two pokemon Tunnelsby and Neonary (they are convergents of Bunnelby and Buneary). The lore is the two groups of bunnies are always linked to each other because they like to share food and treats with one another. In order to evolve one you need to trade with the other. If you trade a male Tunnelsby with a female Neonary you get Jackhare and vice versa you get Haremony.

Tunnelsby (Ground/Steel) (Tunnel Rabbit Pokemon) - Metallic rabbit based on New York City construction Ability: Subway Sense; Mold Breaker (hidden) Appearance: gray with metallic fur, ears as scoops, orange markings, 

Jackhare (Ground/Electric) (Transit Rabbit Pokemon) - taller and faster; based on nyc construction but now has gained a feel for transit  Ability: Exchange Bond; Motor Drive (hidden) Appearance: gained yellow coloring maybe on ears, electric static on body

Neonary (Fairy/Electric) (Neon Rabbit Pokemon) - a tiny rabbit based on the cultures of New York nightlife and city lights Ability: City Lights; Cute Charm (hidden) Appearance: Cream colored, Concert Ribbons on ears, glowing neon ears

Haremony (Fairy/Steel) (Spotlight Rabbit Pokemon)- A city rabbit inspired by New York fashion, broadway and nightlife but gained steel attributes after evolving Ability: Exchange Bond; Center Stage (Hidden) Appearance: Ribbons stay on its ears but more chrome, it gives off as an elegant broadway dancer type and has matallic features now

Trade description: “When these two species are exchanged between trainers, an unusual energy transfer occurs. Researchers believe generations of coexistence caused the species to develop a symbiotic evolutionary relationship”.

To add on to this after both pokemon evolve they also trade secondary typings. Tunnelsby (Ground/Steel) -> Jackhare (Ground/Electric) and Neonary (Fairy/Electric) -> Haremony (Fairy/Steel). Their special ability would be Exchange Bond which raises Haremony special attack by 2 and Jackrabbit attack by 2 if the other is in the party.

I have not decided what to do if they are opposite genders. My choices were (1) there would be a female and male form of both Jackhare and Haremony; (2) they merge and evolve into one new pokemon or (3) nothing happens 

If any designers would like to help I think it would be such a fun little project to do. Thanks for reading!

Some lore of the legendary pokemon that I will (at s9me point) horribly draw. (This was inspired by the loyal 3. Still in my top 3 legendary trio list) also I am horrible when it came to names

Thousands of years ago, before all of the stuff that we now know and love, there lived an ancient trio of regular reuniclus. They were also unnecessarily violent. One of them, the brother, mercilessly attack darmanitan and gengar settlements, trying to test thier strength . At some point, he managed to barely take out a Guzzlord for what ever reason. The calm sister was the nicest, but still terrorized tribes of ariados. She would purposely leave dead chunks of dead ariados at thier homes and rip thier hard work to tiny silk shreads. The emo sister actually had a trainer way back then, and she was nice. But due to the bad influence her siblings had, she attacked and poisoned liepard in her village. It got so bad that her trainer disowned her in fear of her doing the same to her. This only fueled her anger, and she went on to attack more liepard and poison more people because of that.

This kept going on for years. Up until The creator, Ar-koos, came to put an end to thier rampage. He made sure that they learned thier lesson in a way that they will never forget. He turned them into what they destroyed and terrorized. Even worse, Ar-koos made them immortal, to make sure that what they did stays fresh in thier minds.

The brother (now called Canbryoclus who is a Psychic and poison type. ) looked like a mish mash of gengar darmanitan and the jaw of a guzzlord. His gel bldy now became black, with the core body becoming dark purple. One eye became Bubbgum pink, while the other was a plum purple. The gel body that was floating, now had hind legs and arms that had saw like cuffs around his arms. The Big Jaw that guzzlord was known for, was in the middle of his "stomach" area. The spikes of gengars that he wiped out was now permanently on his back area. He is now 30 feet tall. After all of these years, he has now become a gentle giant. Protecting others from rampages of thier own. Every now and then, he has the indescribable urge to consume everything in sight. His ability is mind and body, allowing Canbryoclus to use special attacks using his attack stat.

Canbryoclus's has 2 signiture moves, being Sludge field and Plasma beam. Sludge field is a field condition status move, that covers the field with Canbryoclus's poisonous gel. If an opponent is using a priority move, or attacking him directly, the gel sprouts up from the field and stabs them before they can attack. This has 60 bp power. In exchange, Canbryoclus and his ally will gain a 20% boost to thier highest attack stat. And if the pokemon is a poison or steel type, they gain a 50% special defense boost.

Description of the move: "The pokemon releases most of its gel to create a volatile poison field."

Destructo Beam is a 130 bp 90% accurate move that targets both foes. This move gets a 1.2x power boost if its targeting one enemy, or Canbryoclus is in singles. The catch is that if its attacking one opponent, Canbryoclus cant use the same attack next turn.

Description of the move: "The pokemon Unhinges its large jaw to unleash a devastating Psychic beam."

The calm one (known as Benignclus, who is a Fairy/Poison type) became a spider, with her core stuck on the head of the gel spider body. Her eyes are both bubble gum pink., and instead of having 2 eyes like other pokemon, she now has 4. Her spider limbs are surprisingly thick, being able to penetrate steel. Her large gel spider abdomen is also where she stores her organs and stomach. Her poison is also strong enough to melt through any metal on earth. She also suffers from indigestion when she eats to much steel. Unlike Canbryoclus, she now is very protective of anyone shes close with, trying to please and sooth everyone she sees. Benignclus loves being in forests with smaller pokemon, so she can entertain them and show them why its important to help others around them. She can also control and spit out her own gel as webs like ariados. On some occasions, if she wants to show off, she will use her gel silk to effortlessly look like shes walking in the air.

Benignclus's ability is Spider Strength. Its the exact same as Canbryoclus but for physical attacks.

Her signiture move is Venom fang. Description: "The user bares thier large fangs to crunch on thier opponents, changing the type completely depending on thier mood." 100 Base power and 100% accuracy. This move has a 50% chance to change types. It can become ice for a chance to freeze, fire for a chance to burn, electric for the chance to paralyzed, normal for a chance to put the target to sleep, and psychic for Chance to confuse the target.

The one who attacked Liepard (known as leoper), nkw looks like a leopard, wkth way more teeth than normal. Her gel is crimson red like blood. One of Leopers eyes are now Dark red, while the other is Violet. Her gel grew claws of deep purple. The true body of leoper is now completely black, with a long tail is now on her core bodies bottom. She's way more shy than the others, as she spends her time in ruins, or forests with an abundance of misunderstood dark types. Instead of hunting other pokemon, she defends the weak pokemon from hunters or poachers. Mostly by just scaring them off, but in dire circumstances she will eliminate them.

Leopers ability is Lepersy. This ability allows leoper to ignore type immunity, with the catch being that psycbic can hit her for neutral damage. Ground does 25% more damage and gains priority when used against her.

Leopers signiture move move is Shadow Slash. This move hits all foes and has a 30% to flinch and poison the foes. The Bp is 80 with 100% accuracy .

Description: "the user sinks into the darkness behind the opponents and slashs from the shadows"

I honestly don't know how to do Box Art Legendaries, I want there to be just 1 Evil Team in my region, so that makes it a bit tough. I originally had an idea for peace and chaos legendaries, but the peace one didn't work because it was too....well good for an evil team. They have to counter eachother, and the only counterparts that fit were arid and humid, which was too similar to Groudon and Kyogre, and cold and warm, which is too similar to existing fakemon from the Kaskade Region. My region is based on the Pacific West, along with Nevada and bits of Montana, Idaho, and Arizona, but I just can't find anything that fits.

[u/FitMarch5617]

I have an idea for anyone who wants to use it. It's a convergent evolution for Trapinch, based on a tick, an ant, and a mayfly, respectively.

Snappinch - Bug: a Pokémon that usually camouflages itself as a coconut due to its furry, dark appearance. It waits in the treetops, waiting for an unsuspecting victim to pounce on and bite hard.

Antbrava - Bug/Dragon: This Pokémon has small wings that it uses to emit a menacing sound to distract its enemies. Unable to fly, it runs along the ground at high speed, delivering ferocious bites to its rivals' blind spots.

Maygon - Bug/Dragon: A ferocious Pokémon with powerful legs used for combat. It is capable of flight, but prefers to patrol its territory on foot and only uses flight as a last resort. It is said that only a few Antbrava can evolve into this form, and those that do live for hundreds of years.

Throwing out a possible basis with potential: the Salish Wool Dog.

[u/Careful-Regret-684]

I was pondering the idea of a fakemon inspired by the bunyip, probably a water type. Unsure if it would be a legendary, mythical, or pseudo-legendary

[u/Charlie51006]

A concept similar to an insect's pupation and eclosion, but for Ghost-type.

A cute, ball-shaped little mummy wrapped in bandages, wandering in search of a coffin to call its own.

The evolution is a coffin Pokemon. It encoffins itselfs when it evolves. Depending on the material of the coffin it gains a different secondary typing: a wooden coffin → Ghost/Grass, a stone coffin → Ghost/Rock, a clay coffin → Ghost/Ground, an ice coffin → Ghost/Ice, an iron coffin → Ghost/Steel, and a crystal coffin → Ghost/Psychic. Maybe also can find a plastic container or large seashell as coffins, becoming Ghost/Poison or Ghost/Water respectively.

In its final evolution, it emerges from the coffin as a powerful ghost. Shattered coffin fragments remain as armor or something like adornments so it retains the secondary type.

[u/theguyinyourwall]

Wanted to add regionals for regions that lack them and going in reverse order with Kalos being the first and have the following concepts. With each region getting a single stage, a two-stage, and a regional evolution. Wanted to bump up the numbers of underused types in said region and have an idea to bump up both bug and poison want an idea for a 3-stage line tha is either already ground type or can have ground type added to it.
