What Animals Have Not Been Made Into Pokemon

"A garbage pocketbook? A bunch of wires? Food Pokemon? God, they're running out of ideas!"
is a huge complaint from a lot of Pokemon fans.


The affair is, making monsters to populate a fictional earth isn't simply almost taking a cool real-world animal or mythological creature and just shoehorning information technology into a game. As a D&D player, when a campaign or a sourcebook simply starts to throw every single type of creature from, say, a Greek mythology at you, information technology ends up feeling boring and predictable. Variation is cardinal, and that's why each generation tended to take a residuum between various types of Pokemon ranging from "merely an animal, maybe with an element" to more creative redesigns to giant dragons to humanoid monsters to Pokemon based on inanimate objects. It's to make the world feel far more variable, because that'southward how you go people to be interested enough to catch 'em all.

Simply hey, while information technology'southward so, so easy to dip into the pool of possible inanimate objects and mythological beasts for Pokemon to dip its toes into -- in that location'due south far more that hasn't been fabricated into a Pokemon than those that has -- what about the animals? Pokemon keeps making a butterfly every other generation, and a bird, that'due south proof that they're running out of animals, correct? Not quite, as the most recent generations testify... they have a huge assortment of weird and wacky animals (and plants, and fungi) to option from. Only await at the currently-newest Generation Half dozen, and look at some of the Pokemon introduced there, like Golisopod, Crabrawler, Buzzswole, Pheromosa, Oranguru, Toxapex, Oricorio, Wishiwashi and Vikavolt. Agree or disagree about just how these Pokemon individually, each of them show off a type of Pokemon and a style that hasn't been seen in the past six generations of the franchise, showing that, yeah, there are even so a lot of animals out there that can very easily be turned into Pokemon. The animal kingdom's pretty purple, and then... aye!

So... yes. This is just a bit of a constitutional on a bunch of animals that I think would be absurd to plough into Pokemon. It's going to focus on the animal kingdom considering, equally mentioned, it'south probably the one with the well-nigh examples of already existing Pokemon representatives. As well going to limit the amount of extinct animals, because trust me -- we'll exist here all calendar week if you got me talking about dinosaurs.

This list is going to lean slightly more than towards marine life and invertebrates... and that's not going to be my fault, because a lot of the 'obvious' land animals have already been turned into Pokemon in some shape or form, and proportionally, real life has about of its biodiversity amidst invertebrates and marine life anyway.

I'm going to showtime off with a couple of obvious ones first, that I'm sure will be made into Pokemon, information technology's just that Gamefreak/Nintendo is intentionally spreading these out. I mean, we didn't get a proper panthera leo pokemon until Generation VI, for crying out loud! This is probably going to be 'function 1' of a series, mayhap? If this gets good feedback, I'll practise ane for prehistoric animals.

Dolphin:

Yeah, these aquatic mammals are probably the biggest popular beast to not have a Pokemon representative in any shape or grade. The about obvious among all the animals in this list, dolphins have been popular in media as these smart, svelte bounding main mammals. I tin totally see Nintendo making a uncomplicated pure-Water or some sort of Water/Psychic variation, and dolphins would probably prove popular enough to get turned into the H2o starter. Or if Nintendo wanted to buck traditional portrayals of dolphins (they did something similar with Pangoro, after all), and brand them a bit more cruel. Maybe take the best of both worlds and have them be bad guys that likewise hunt downwardly other bad guys, Punisher style? I dunno. Whatever the case, though, whatsoever dolphin or porpoise Pokemon they make down the line, it'south definitely going to be popular.

Peacock:
Peacock Plumage.jpg
Easily one of the near striking birds in nature, the peacock and its amazing plumage has been a popular staple in fiction, and I'g genuinely surprised that we never had a peacock Pokemon even so. Hell, a peacock looks majestic plenty that it could probably be a legendary Pokemon of some sort and no one would actually complain. Peradventure those heart-spot-esque markings could be real eyes, and this hypothetical peacock is a part-psychic monster? I dunno. Certainly interesting to realize, though.

Housefly:
Common house fly, Musca domestica.jpg
Easily the biggest "look, we don't have one of these?" among the well-nigh mutual insects and arthropods is the humble housefly, or indeed anything from the lodge Diptera. I similar collywobbles as much equally the next entomology geek, but honestly, don't nosotros have enough butterflies and moths out there? There are so many more interesting insects out in that location, and none more iconic than the housefly. Equally one of the most important animals ecologically in being one of the major factors of decomposition, while simultaneously being the vector for many, many diseases out there... Honestly, there's a lot of things that you can do with a maggot/fly evolution line. You tin focus on its decomposing ability, its plague-spreading ability, its ability to dodge attacks... or maybe go full Kafka and make a Fly-humanoid? I dunno.

Flamingo

:
Flamingos Laguna Colorada.jpg
I will exist the first to acknowledge that I'k not the all-time at avian taxonomy, but out of the more popular and distinct-looking birds out in that location, the flamingo is possibly the only one that doesn't have any sort of Pokemon equivalent in any manner. You lot could argue that Dodrio's partly based on ostriches (though I'd love to meet a proper ostrich down the line), merely I'm genuinely surprised we never had one of these. I guess other than their appearance flamingoes but doesn't have much to continue? Maybe they could exist the dull regional bird, in the same way that toucans, pheasants and woodpeckers are adapted into regional birds.

Platypus:

Otherwise known every bit nature's endeavor at creating its own Pokemon. Yous could argue that Psyduck or Lotad are based on the platypus... merely this duck-billed, beaver-tailed otter definitely deserves to become a Pokemon of its own. If Nintendo wanted to get really geeky, they could really comprise the playpus'south real gender dimorphism, because only males have venomous spurs. I'm non sure if y'all tin really brand an evolutionary line, so maybe this hypothetical platypus Pokemon can just be a standalone like fellow Australian-based Pokemon Komala and Kangaskhan?

Grasshopper:

Grasshoppers aren't a super-interesting insect, and I can't really arraign Nintendo for not doing a grasshopper Pokemon yet, preferring to go for cooler beetles, mantises and centipedes or cuter butterflies and bagworms. Merely grasshoppers are one of the well-nigh common insects in the world, and other than the housefly, it'due south easily i that I want Pokemon to practise. If non the grasshopper, then the locust, a subtype of grasshoppers well-known for their ability to swarm and become a cataclysm. Possibly something akin to Wishiwashi's ability, where it's a single locust that transforms into a giant, monstrous legion-swarm when information technology has a lot of health?

Chetah:
Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) female 2.jpg
At that place's a lot of overlap for the 'big cats', which is why people argued back and forth on whether Entei should be considered a lion, and if we needed a 'proper' tiger when we already have Incineroar... but I don't remember we always had a proper cheetah, a very speedy monster. I dunno, though. Maybe it'south a Pokemon that'southward far more than geared towards its ability than anything else? Also, insert your own favourite cat breed/dog breed here -- since nosotros accept many obvious cat and dog Pokemon, I really don't think that I have to listing any of them here, and because both tend to exist very marketable, I'm pretty sure that any breed of cat or dog that hasn't been represented would probably get a look-in eventually.

Cuttlefish:

HPIM1795.JPG

One of the 3 main subtypes of cephalopods, we've had octopuses (Octillery) and squids (Malamar) represented in Pokemon. Hell, nosotros've fifty-fifty got an ammonite! Only nosotros don't have a cuttlefish, and I kinda understand why -- to the uninitiated, squids and cuttlefish probably expect similar. But considering just how creative they ended upward turning Malamar into, I'm genuinely sure that they can pull out something to make a potential cuttlefish Pokemon interesting. Peradventure focus on the cuttlefish's ability to camouflage? Or to hypnotize its prey?

Vampire Squid & Dumbo Octopus

Vampire des abysses.jpg Dumbo Octopus
Nevertheless, if we practise go back to squids, I would definitely love a Pokemon version of Vampire Squid. The Vampire Squid is a bizarre, weird-looking fauna from some of the deepest level of the sea, and is distinguished past the webbing that connects its eight cephalopod arms, allowing information technology to catch prey similar a net, while simultaneously giving information technology the appearance of a cloak. Throw in some extra spines and ii propulsive fins, and the power to create flashing displays of lite that would disorient anyone in the deep... yeah, there'due south a lot of creative shit that Pokemon could make out of the vampire squid. Water/Ghost, maybe? Or is that too similar to Jellicent?

Information technology could even evolve from another adorable deep-sea creature, the dumbo octopus (sometimes erroneously called dumbo squid), who'due south a cute, happy picayune trooper that looks, well, pretty dang whimsical. There's a lot of actually weird deep-sea creatures and cephalopod species out there, and my god, the original draft of this had like ten more octopi and squid earlier I trimmed it down.

Sawfish & Swordfish:

Sawfish Pristis zijsron Genova Aquarium.jpg Atlantic blue marlin.jpg
Runner-up for nature'due south attempt at making a real Pokemon is the sawfishes (often called 'sawsharks' despite them actually being rays), a fish with a straight-up sawblade on its face. Frankly, I'm genuinely surprised at Nintendo's restraint at adapting sharks and rays into Pokemon, with, at the time of writing, merely Mantine, Sharpedo and the Garchomp line really borrowing from sharks and rays. Definitely desire a sawfish somewhere down the line. Hell, its typing would be obvious besides -- Water/Steel, with an actual chainsaw instead of a bony saw. An alternative would be the far more popular (simply less cool) swordfishes and marlins, who besides have a lance-similar protrusion from their upper lips... clearly nowhere every bit cool as a goddamn chainsaw.

Stingray & Torpedo Rays:
Myliobatis aquila sasrája.jpg Torpedo torpedo corsica2.jpg
Speaking of rays, nosotros don't have a poisonous stingray and I actually experience that it'due south a law-breaking. We at least have Mantine to stand for the large manta rays, bu I really kind of want something to represent the poisonous rays out there. Speaking of which, Torpedo Rays, otherwise known equally Electrical Rays -- the bounding main'due south version of electric eels! I'1000 not seeing these two animals happen anytime presently, though, with as well much overlap with Mantine and Stunfisk respectively. Would definitely be happy to see more rays, though. I like rays!

Moose, Wildebeest, Gazelle & Llama:
Blue Wildebeest, Ngorongoro.jpg Slender-horned gazelle (Cincinnati Zoo).jpg Llama lying down.jpg
I remember mammals are easily the almost boring when they get turned into Pokemon, although that might be due to personal preference. Merely out of almost of the bigger mammals, I don't retrieve we e'er had any of these? I tin can't blame Nintendo for not doing them, though -- they're kinda ho-hum, and sort of redundant. I'm non sure... If I had to make Pokemon out of these animals, maybe the moose could be an water ice-themed monster? And the gazelle, llama and wildebeest could probably get an element or something, becoming the trope equivalent of Zebstrika or Gogoat in a time to come region? Eh. I don't personally detect any of these ungulates particularly interesting, honestly, and am just including them here for completion'due south sake.

Lionfish:
Red lionfish near Gilli Banta Island.JPG
There are a lot of marine creatures that I want, but considering how hard information technology is to make 'just a fish' interesting in a world of onion frogs and burn birds, it'southward no surprise that Nintendo tried to not over-saturate the Pokedex with tropical fishes. I hateful, we only become a trigger-fish very recently. The lionfish (sometimes called scorpionfishes, which is a type of fish closely-related to the lionfish) are imperial niggling fishies with a distinctive face, just it'southward a pretty aggressive predator, and its long, long fins all prove off that it'due south actually a very venomous fauna. Once again, though, perchance they're just saving this for the uncomplicated fact that Pokemon has a lot of Water/Toxicant types out there -- not Nintendo'due south fault but more than of mother nature having so many poisonous sea creatures.

Stonefish:

Speaking of poisonous, visually-distinctive marine creatures, the stonefish here camouflages itself equally a stone and only derps around coral reefs... but information technology is the almost venomous fishes in the ocean, and many unfortunate swimmers and defined make the fault of accidentally touching or stepping on stonefishes. The worse part? They can survive out of the water for 24 hours when the tide goes downwardly, and so sometimes people step on this stony fucker while they're just walking on the beach. As mentioned before, though, Water/Poisonous substance types is kinda boring in the Pokemon world, so maybe borrow a folio out of Stunfisk and make this a Footing/Poisonous substance or a Stone/Poisonous substance that lives on land or in beaches?

Hummingbird & Hummingbird Moth:
IC Macroglossum stellatarum1 NR.jpg
I'chiliad not sure why I like hummingbirds so much. Is information technology merely because they hover in place beating their wings then fast they act like helicopters? Is it considering of their insanely bizarre metabolism that causes hummingbirds to alternating between buzzing around like a hyperactive bee high on sugar, or to enter a near-hibernative state? I dunno. It's increasingly hard to find annihilation new to do with small birds, especially when they end upward as 'mere' regional early-route birds, merely maybe the hummingbird gets an boosted element? I dunno, maybe it generates electricity by moving those wings rapidly? Or maybe do something uncomplicated and slap the Fairy blazon on this 1. It'south however the newest type, afterwards all.

Every bit a bonus, I'chiliad including the Hummingbird militarist-moth here, a moth that has adapted to mimic a hummingbird's shape. Maybe another Bug/Fairy is in social club? Man, this is when I really wished Pokemon allowed more than than two typings.

Goblin Shark:

Speaking of wacky sharks, look at this dude! Goblin sharks ofttimes make acme of the lists of weirdest sea animals, and who can blame them? What the hell is this thing, even? This iii-meter-large shark has even got its own extendable Xenomorph-style oral fissure that helps it vacuum upward smaller prey, and has that blade-like 'nose' on its face up! It's even got the laurels of being a 'living fossil' in the aforementioned style that coelacanths are known to do. Information technology's manifestly called the 'tengu' shark in Japan, which probably means that we're going to get some fun Japanese mythology inserted to whatsoever potential goblin shark pokemon nosotros become. For bonus points, maybe adapt young man 'creepy mouthed' shark, the cookie-cutter shark?

Whale Shark, Basking Shark & Wobbegong:
Similan Dive Center - great whale shark.jpg Cetorhinus maximus by greg skomal.JPG Spotted wobbegong.jpg
Yeahhh, I really like sharks. There's just something whimsical nearly the basking shark, with its huge, huge mouth, but the fact that it eats nothing but plankton. Once again, there's manner too many interesting sharks out there (cookiecutter sharks! Affections sharks! A proper Hammerhead!) that I don't recall many of them are ever going to make it into Pokemon, but out of them all, I think the basking shark might be my favourite due to how utterly ridiculous this thing looks. More probable than the Basking Shark, of course, is the far more than popular Whale Shark, otherwise known as the largest fish currently alive and living in the ocean. Perhaps the basking shark Pokemon evolves into the whale shark?

I'grand also including ane of my favourite sharks, the Wobbegong, which is like the shark family unit's lazy cousin that just spends his fourth dimension growing that hilarious bristles-like set of protrusions, and instead of being trigger-happy alpha predators or gentle giants of the deep, wobbegongs only stay effectually corla reefs pretending to be coral and interim as an ambush predator.

Other honourable mentions for sharks: Cookie-cutter sharks, Thresher sharks, a proper underwater Hammerhead, the Australian Ghost Shark and the Angel Shark.

Leech:
Sucking leech.jpg
Aye, we've got Eelektross, merely that's more lamprey than leech, and more predatory than blood-sucking. Leeches could easily be inhabitants of a swamp area and be some other member of the Water/Problems gang. Perhaps in a nod to how by doctors used them for healing purposes, leeches could be a specially creepy variant of 'medic' Pokemon?

Mantis Shrimp:

OdontodactylusScyllarus2.jpg

No, Clawitzer is a pistol shrimp. They're completely different! Pistol shrimps shoot out jets of water, while mantis shrimps have high-speed, high-power 'clubs', strong enough to suspension a human thumb and to break aquarium walls. They as well possess some of nature's best optics, as exemplified in the Terraformars manga. Mantis shrimps can easily be adjusted as the concrete-based counterpart or alternate development to Clawitzer, honestly, and I wouldn't even be mad.

Hagfish:
Pacific hagfish Myxine.jpg
These marine fishes are a pretty unique fucker -- they have a skull, only no vertebral column, and are the only jawless fishes left in the nowadays day alongside lampreys. And in addition to giving taxonomists a gigantic headache on where to classify it, hagfishes can shoot out slime to clog up a predatory fish's gills, leaving its predator to die a dull, suffocating expiry while the hagfish wiggles free by tying itself into a knot. No, really. It's a bizarre enough animal, and it's just such a shame 'eels' sort of blur together in people'due south minds that they'll only castor it off equally 'another Eelektross'. I desire my hagfishes, my moray eels, my garden eels and my pipefishes, dammit.

Glaucus

Blue Sea Slug - Glaucus atlanticus and Glaucus marginatus (the small one) (6779229197).jpg
We do take a nudibranch Pokemon with Shellos, Gastrodon and Manaphy (although the latter may non strictly count, since sea angels are a different clade of molluscs?) just the Glaucus genus here has been one of the more pop ocean slugs, due to their clearly unusual torso shape that expect like something out of a video game or a fantasy setting. How do y'all fifty-fifty depict this? It's but such a weird looking animal! One point that goes against the Glaucus beingness a Pokemon, though, is that information technology's going to exist even so some other Water/Poison, since the real-life Glaucus is poisonous... merely perhaps they could become artistic and adapt the fact that real-life Glaucus prey on venomous cnidarians like the Portuguese Man O' Wars and and so steal the venomous cells of their prey to employ it themselves. Some sort of Water-type Pokemon that preys on Poison-types and keeps chunks of its prey as weapons? Could exist an interesting ability.

Frogfish:

Yeah, lots of marine life here. Sorry, non sorry. We practise have an anglerfish Pokemon in Chinchou and Lanturn (and while I'chiliad glad that those 2 really end up delivering a unlike have on anglerfishes, I wouldn't exist opposed to a traditional fanged-mouthed one down the route), merely the frogfish is different enough compared to nearly anglerfishes that I recollect it'd be a smashing basis for some other Pokemon, living in far shallower waters than their bio-luminescent cousins, and are covered in spines and real algae to aid in cover-up. Water/Grass, maybe? Frogfishes also employ their fins to quite literally 'walk' on the seabed, moving slowly and unlike most other fishes that their prey never realizes that the chunk of algae is actually a predator. Oh, and they have the normal lure associated with anglerfishes, too. In that location'due south a lot they could brand out of the frogfish, although I'm sure Nintendo will manage something artistic.

Goose, Stork & Crane:

Mycteria leucocephala - Pak Thale.jpg Sarus Crane (Grus antigone) at Sultanpur I Picture 151.jpg

Geese aren't technically the same sort of species or genus as ducks or swans, both of whom are represented in Pokemon. I guess their similarity visually ends up being kind of difficult to tell apart when they're so stylized? I'm also surprised that storks, cranes and other water-wading birds haven't been made into Pokemon nevertheless, although I suppose Water/Flying isn't that appealing of a blazon combination? Maybe they tin become all kung fu and arrange the crane way of martial arts, making another Fighting/Flying Pokemon? Eh. Again, birds really don't deliver much interesting things to work with.

Capybara, Opossum & Jerboa:

Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris).JPG Opossum 2.jpg Four-toes-jerboa.jpgThere are merely so many rodents out there, and each region tended to pick one as their early-road equivalent to Rattata. The Capybara isn't especially interesting beyond its size (and things like Raticate and Bibarel are already pretty huge) only I can definitely see him be an inspiration for a futurity regional rodent, or at least the final development of ane. Opossums would definitely also work as an early-route regional rodent, maybe a Dark-blazon one? Speaking of rodents, I'm legitimately surprised we don't have a jerboa however. One of the most common inspiration for 'fakemons' out at that place, Jerboas are these whimsical-looking kangaroo-rats, and definitely would serve well as a rodent or a Pikachu-clone mascot.

Termite:

I mean, it took u.s. until Generation 5 to get an ant Pokemon.  These destructive, forest-destroying bastards are actually more closely related to cockroaches than ants, despite many cultures calling them 'white ants' due to their similar size and their queen-based heirarchy. Since we were denied a proper queen pismire with Durant, peradventure we tin get a proper set of forest-destroying (or rock-destroying, or metal-destroying, depending on the theme) termite Pokemon with a queen?

Earthworm:

Unless I'm missing something, I don't think we ever had a proper earthworm Pokemon, despite earthworms being ane of the more widespread invertebrates in the world, and i of the most relevant decomposers out there. I get that beingness only a worm isn't anywhere interesting plenty, but perhaps you lot could pull a folio out of Dune and just make a huge giant desert-burrowing earthworm? Or is that too obvious?

Parasitic Worms:
Image result for taenia
At that place are a lot of parasitic worms in humans and animals, but the one that isn't "just a worm" is probably the tapeworms of theCestodafamily, well known for having mulitple mouths and a long, fettuccine-similar segmented body. I would've said that tapeworms and parasites would mayhap be too gross for Pokemon to deal with, but then I remember Parasect exists. Mayhap nosotros could practise some sort of PG-rated parasitism that way? I dunno.

Narwhal:

It's a whale with a goddamn unicorn horn! Yeah, this is definitely a fun little animal that I'thou sure could be turned into a pretty badass Pokemon. I guess it could be related in some mode to the hypothetical dolphin Pokemon we talked about before?

Brittle Star:

More Echinoderms, and while we've got two spectacular starfish Pokemon in Starmie and Toxapex, both highlighting different aspects of the echinoderm phylum, the brittle star could definitely end upwardly beingness another potential echinoderm Pokemon some time in the future. I guess it'south a wee bit too similar to an octopus, maybe? Eh.

Sea Urchin:

It'due south a brawl of spikes! Another member of the Echinoderm family unit and far more than popular and well-known than the brittle star, the sea urchin is probably an obvious Water/Poisonous substance should it ever exist adjusted into a Pokemon, and the large amount of H2o/Poison already out there (don't blame Nintendo, blame female parent nature) probably makes this rank pretty low. Nosotros as well recently got Mareanie, which has shades of ocean urchin in it, despite  being more explicitly based on a crown-of-thorns starfish. Perchance we tin become a weirder gear up of pre-evolutions past adapting a sea urchin larva? That probably would end upwards a fleck too didactic, though.

Blobfish:

ugliest-animals1

Blobfishes don't actually look like this, and the memetic 'haha it looks like a deplorable old homo' is the result of a torso that's evolved to survive the crushing pressures of the deep body of water being brought to atmospheric surface. Still, information technology'southward ane of the more 'memetic' animals that enjoy a fair flake of popularity, and I tin totally see Pokemon capitalizing on this.

Tardigrade:
SEM image of Milnesium tardigradum in active state - journal.pone.0045682.g001-2.png
Another obscure animal whose popularity skyrocketed somewhat recently, these 'water bears' are water-dwelling micro-organisms that are near well known for their most-indestructibility, able to survive farthermost temperatures, extreme pressures, and even in vacuum, being able to simply suffer and 'hibernate'. Again, information technology's a Pokemon that could easily be super-defensive, and maybe you could slap the Ghost-type on this one to represent its near-invulnerability? Maybe information technology'south a Shedinja-style ability, except it has, oh, say, ten hitting points and it reduces all damage it takes to ane? I dunno. I'chiliad not good at balancing games, but y'all get the thought.

Leucochloridium paradoxum

Otherwise known as 'that flatworm that turns snails into zombies', and one of the more popular obscure parasites out there. And, yeah, I wouldn't fifty-fifty consider including this if a Pokemon based on Cordyceps hasn't been included in the original 151. The Leucochloridium is a blazon of parasitic worm that parasitizes birds and snails, where its eggs are found in bird debris, causing snails to swallow them. When the larvae hatch, they get into the snail'south eyestalk and turns it into a jutting, pulsating, colourful protrusion resembling caterpillars that birds prey on. The film from Wikipedia shows exactly how a snail's eyestalk should appear versus one that'southward infected by the worm. The worm is as well able to force the snail to climb up leaves and take their worm-infested eyestalks consumed by birds. It's a bit complex and most-impossible to incorporate the unabridged life cycle in Pokemon, but mayhap you but incorporate the imagery of a snail with bulging, hypnotic eyes? Do we take a Bug/Psychic Pokemon however? This could be a hypnotist snail or something.

Yep Yes:
Wild aye aye.jpg
Non a big monkey fan, although Generation Vii's orangutan and lemur at least used different sorts of primates. The aye-aye, with its whimsical, long skeletal fingers and blood-red eyes, is definitely a great candidate for an inspiration of a primate Pokemon. The real yeah-aye uses its freakishly long fingers to tap on trees to find grubs, and then dig it out with its teeth and finger. Could easily be a Dark-type that revolves around stealing, maybe?

Komodo Dragon

:
Komodo dragon with tongue.jpg
Ane of the biggest reptiles withal alive nowadays, the Komodo Dragon is the apex predator in the islands information technology lives in, and, y'know, between its name, its size and its poisonous spit, the komodo dragon is a pretty obvious footing for a Poisonous substance/Dragon Pokemon, yep? The merely real poisonous lizard we have that I can call back of are Salandit and Salazzle, and those play around burning acid and female dimorphism. Definitely wouldn't mind something based on this animal for certain.

Sea Pig

We have a sea cucumber Pokemon in Pyukumuku, just the sea cucumber known as sea grunter is such a whimsically bizarre motherfucker that I really, really want one of these equally a Pokemon. Mayhap even a Pyukumuku evolution? I dunno. In that location's only and then much you lot can do with a sea cucumber -- they're not super interesting, only hey.

Assassinator Bug

I've saved a lot of bugs for the finish, because there's sometimes merely going to exist "absurd bug, simply probably non cool enough to be adapted into a Pokemon without some artistic twists". And since I know I ramble on enough most Problems-types in my Gotta Review Em All series,

One of the more badass and savage insects out there, the assassin bug'due south is a predatory insect with a huge stabby proboscis, but more interestingly is the fact that some species actually disguise themselves by putting debris from dead prey in order to camouflage themselves. A bit too morbid, perhaps? Simply maybe we practice a PG-rated version of this (like Karrablast/Shelmet) and say that it picks up discarded Issues-type Pokemon carapace to toughen itself up?

Solifugid & Vinegaroon;
Sunspider.jpg
Solifugids (a.yard.a. Camel Spiders) and Vinegaroons (a.k.a. Whip Scorpions) are two of the creepier arachnids out there, and I'm grouping them together. In that location are a lot of possible spider and scorpion variants that Pokemon tin work through earlier they get really obscure, only bold that Pokemon'southward washed with the couple that they have, these two tin can definitely fit the bill. The Vineragoon is probably my favourite, with its distinctive body plan that's such a weird mixture of spider and scorpion, and with the ability to shoot acrid out of its tail. Kinda mundane in the world of Pokemon, peradventure, but maybe information technology's a Bug/Toxicant with a unique ability or something? I dunno. The Solifugid's utterly creepy giant palps actually doesn't have poison -- it hunts by catching prey with its mucilaginous palps.

Earwig
Earwig on white background.jpg
Earwigs are probably one of those insects that expect distinct enough with their butt-pincers (and a completely unfounded myth well-nigh them nesting inside human ears) to be memorable, just doesn't do enough or exist interesting enough to be adapted into a Pokemon. I approximate they could do something similar Kricketune where they add in another sort of motif into the bug?

Mole Cricket:
Mole cricket02.jpg
Another bug that is distinguished by a bizarre body addition, and for the mole crickets, it's, well, the fact that their front claws accept evolved into shovel-like structures for burrowing. We practise have one subterranean Bug/Footing Pokemon in Nincada, but Nincada loses his Ground typing when he evolves. So I call up the perfect hypothetical Bug/Footing Pokemon that retains its type would exist based on the mole cricket. Like normal crickets, mole crickets can also produce a loud song, so maybe we could pull off a Kricketune and have the mole crickets be, I dunno, drummers or something?

Weevil:

Weevils are some of the most common insects worldwide, but I can't believe it took me this long to become "oh right, weevils". They're just not very interesting, I'm agape, although peradventure Nintendo could make a weevil as the early-route issues? They could capitalize on the weevil'due south penchant of drilling holes with its proboscis to permit it to bypass abilities or resistances or something forth those lines.

Honeypot Ant:

In that location is simply something then whimsical nearly the honeypot ants, which are diverse species of ants that accept specialized worker ants with inflatable abdomens to store honey, acting as a storage sleeping accommodation of food for their colony. Information technology's just such a hilarious visual, and I could definitely see a Bug-type healer in the same vein of Chansey and Audino. Maybe it'due south a regional variant for Durant?

H2o Scorpion:
Nepa cinerea01.jpg
We accept a serious dearth of H2o/Bug Pokemon, and one of the freshwater aquatic insects I definitely would dear to see is ane based on the predatory h2o scorpion, an insect that'south  a fierce underwater predator that sometimes feed on tadpoles and fishes as well. Not much hither beyond "I observe this insect cool".

Flea:
Pulex irritans female ZSM.jpg
Basically, parasites of a dissimilar sort to the worms upward above. Fleas and ticks (and mites and all sorts of other stuff) are little arthropods that bounce around larger host animals, sucking up blood and well-known among the medical profession for being little shits that spread diseases. Wekindatake a tick Pokemon in Joltik, and it's interesting style to combine the tick being an arachnid and a parasite by incorporating it every bit a spider'due south pre-evolution. Maybe we could do a like mechanic? The flea Pokemon can only evolve into a larger Bug-type (say, something based on a grasshopper -- some other insect that has tangentially been used as a ground, but nosotros don't outright accept one of) when it fights and uses a Leech Life move on a dog or a cat-based Pokemon?

Velvet Worm:

Velvet worm.jpg

One of the globe's more bizarre invertebrates, this 'para-arthropods' is this bizarre slug-worm matter with legs that aren't jointed, and used to exist thought as the 'missing link' between insects and slugs. More interestingly, though, a velvet worm'due south method of predation is to employ the ii organic gum-guns on its face to gum its casualty in place earlier eating it. Definitely something that a Pokemon designer can work with!

This article, by the manner, has been severely trimmed down from the list of other insects and marine life that I wanted to be fabricated into Pokemon, and I'm just including some of the nearly interesting ones. The bombardier beetle is an innocuous-looking beetle until y'all realize that information technology can shoot out a hot, noxious spray from its butt. At present Issues-type Pokemon that spray things at the enemy isn't annihilation particularly new, but this could maybe be a weaker Issues/Burn down Pokemon? I'grand trying to include insects and arthropods that won't but be Issues/Poison or Bug/Flight, because there's way also many of those already.

Dung Protrude:

Dung beetles are beetles that roll upwards dung into huge, huge assurance and use them as basically a portable nursing firm for its grubs that also doubles as a food source. Information technology'due south interesting, and peradventure dung beetles could exist similar to Farfetch'd and Timburr in that it's a Pokemon that rolls around carrying a huge weapon? Definitely could be some other Bug/Footing, for sure, and maybe to avoid the fecal association, the hypothetical dung protrude Pokemon could roll around dirt instead? Some other interesting fact about dung beetles -- some species of these lowly bugs can navigate itself by observing the stars. Also worth noting that dung beetles are a member of the Scarabaeoidea family unit, and the scarabs oft seen in Egyptian glyphs and revered as a symbol of the god Khepri, and so, yeah, at that place's definitely something we could exercise forth these lines.

Brazilian Treehopper:

Virtually Treehoppers are merely weird-looking bugs that I wouldn't say no if Nintendo adapted it into a Pokemon, only the Brazilian Treehopper in particular is just such a weird fellow with a crown of weird circular thorny assurance that make it harder for enemies to swallow them. There'southward just and so many means to incorporate this when you plow it into a Pokemon. A Problems/Steel that uses them equally flails? Or are they spiky cannonballs instead?

Anyhow, that's all the time we accept today. I've gone way, fashion also long and took out a whole lot of other insects, fishes, spiders and squids that I feel are redundant or not interesting enough. Again, if there's any suggestions or specific ideas, experience free to annotate. I may or may not do an extinct animal themed version of this article in the futurity, and maybe a sequel if I get enough ideas for more weird and wacky animals that could be Pokemon.
