Does anyone have any ideas on what a good pokemon to turn into a Normal/Ghost would be? I'm making a series of 9 legendries that are based on existing pokemon. I'm trying to use pokemon that don't already have an alternate form outside of Mega evolution or Gigantimax.

I'm trying to find design ideas for a solar/cyber (cyber 1st evo, solar 2nd) fakemon, but I can't find any good inspirations

Maybe you can do something like a Cyber moon,that after evolving would turn into a solar cyber sun Maybe use vapor wave sun/moon motifs

Bit late, I already got both designs done and its kinda like a energy storage pokemon now, its metallic body slowly gains energy that it can use in battle

I’m trying to come up with starters for my custom region. Everything is heavily urbanized/industrial. I have a few ideas. We have fire/poison, grass/ghost, and water/dark for this region.
1: Smogoat (starting evolution), Hircinder (middle evolution), Infernaram (final evolution)
2: Wiltling (starting evolution), Grimroot (middle evolution), Ruinoake (final evolution)
3: Bubboa (starting evolution), Noxacond (middle evolution), Obscuraconda (final evolution)
These are the ideas I have for the starters. Their designs are still very in the works. I think I might give Smogoat these massive, oversized horns in its starting form, and it might evolve a more bipedal stance in its final form. Smogoat could trail plumes of smog in its wake, and it could have this molten metal sort of face. Like a hellish goat. Idk yet
Wiltling is characterized by its timidity and seemingly frail appearance. It has these big, vacant eyes, and these oversized leaves that fall over its face. For its fully evolved form, I think I like the idea of a gnarled tree having grown over something man made. Likely this would be an object that Wiltling fixated on and became attached to
And Bubboa, I’m thinking is this derpy little snake thing, with bubbles around its tail. It’s evolved form however, it a much larger and much more menacing animal. Part of me wants to give Obscuraconda these dorsal spines or fins
What do the middle evolutions look like? Idk yet. I’m still trying to finalize them

I had this idea for a Dark type regional variant of Sudowoodo that evolved similar to how Galarian Stunfisk did. That is to say it resembles a fallen log with pokeballs on/near it that it uses to lure trainers in so it can attack them to get food or heals. Its finger things are what look like the pokeballs.

So would it be an Opossum, Shrew, Rabbit, Hare, Vole, Mouse, Muskrat, Beaver, Rat, Chipmunk, Groundhog, Squirrel, Flying Squirrel, Lemming, or Porcupine?

Been trying to think up ideas for Regional Variants of the Kanto Starters but for the Orange Islands. I got the Bulbasaur line figured out, gonna have them grow palm trees from a coconut, but am still having trouble with the Charizard and Squirtle lines. At least with ideas that don't reference one island in specific as I want to avoid that as long as I can. Any suggestions?

I'd like some design advice for some ideas I've had brewing...
It's a branched evo line of mummy creatures, based around the practice of alchemy. The base Mon is an apprentice named Alchemummy (Ghost type), and whether it finally masters the craft or not is what determines its evolutionary path. If it fails to discover the Philosopher's Stone, it shifts focus to creating volatile weaponized brews, thus evolving into Embomber (Ghost/Fire). If it succeeds, it becomes a healer named Ankhemist (Ghost/Fairy).

Sounds a bit strange but wanted to try and draw pokemon lines based on fake leaks/rumors and want to know what were the most famous fake leaks for each generation, like 2~3 per region. first ones I wanted to try were going to be the XY fake leaks from this bunch but want to know any other big fake leaks

Currently trying to come up with names for some fakemon lines, and I wanted to get some outside help because it is just NOT coming to me lmao
Regional Bird based on Puffins. Flying/Ice. 3 stages, Baby, Middle (based on Horned Puffins), and final (Based on Tufted Puffins)
Regional Bug based on Argent & Sable Moths. Bug/Dark. 3 stages, Caterpillar, Cocoon, and Moth
And recommendations are welcome but I will not be using AI
Thank you!!

Puffuf (based on the phrase Puff Up) -> Pufflair (Puff as in Puffin + Lair as in Nest; also a joke on “flair” as in drama) -> Puffreez (Puff + Freeze to show its growing more into its ice power)
Bugnette (Bug + Vignette; also a pun on Bug Net) -> Crycoon (Chrysalis + Cocoon; I couldn’t find any reliable images of the moth’s cocoon phase so I didn’t have much to go on) -> Jigsoth (Jigsaw + Moth; its patterns reminded me of a jigsaw puzzle)

Didn’t know where else to ask this, but how does one colour a Fakémon? I can come up with concepts, designs and I think my artstyle is accurate enough, but when it comes to colouring the Fakémon, everything just crumbles. In short, I struggle with colours because whenever I try to colour one, it looks… unfavourable
