What ideas for new species of Pokémon do you have?

It can be quite fun to come up with concepts for new kinds of Pokémon! What do they look like? Are they based on a specific animal or theme? What is their type? What sort of moves can they learn?

I'll start by sharing my concept for a Water type starter, Bubblepup! They are a cute blue poodle-like puppy with bubble textures in their fur. Bubblepup can evolve into Puddleruff, a slightly larger and more agile waterdog, eventually leading up to Splashhound, an elegant and dexterous water hunting dog. I was thinking they could also have a secondary typing such as Fighting upon reaching their final evolution since they are hunting dogs.

I decided on a concept for a water poodle because I love poodles and have owned multiple throughout my life. Here's a fun fact about poodles: Did you know they were originally bred as water hunting dogs? That's where I got the idea for a water poodle! It was believed that their fluffy haircut could help them stay warm in the cold water. They're also known to be very smart and have consistently made it onto smartest dog breed lists!

I'd love to hear about your fan concepts for new Pokémon species as well! Feel free to share them in the comments. :)

    A pokemon that is made of really hard glass or makes glass

    A pokemon that is based off of succulents

    Pokémon like Trevenant but alive with a few verities like an evergreen and willow

    A sundew pokemon

    A pokemon that is based off of a person that studies and draws what they see in books. It could be a psychic and ghost pokemon that collects knowledge in a handmade book (got the idea from tinkaton), then as it levels up and gains more knowledge it would evolve and get a bigger/more books. The first form would be holding a handmade piece of paper in one hand and a piece of charcoal in the other. Its second form would have a whole book and a pencil. Its last form it would have 3 scrolls floating on each side of it. It might have 6 arms with 2 of them writing in the scrolls (kind of like hoopa unbound).

    give tangela more varieties like one based off of English ivy.

    An Ancient and Future version of Marowak, based on Sans and Papyrus from Undertale.

    The future one is a Ground/Steel type. The Marowak is basically wearing armor, it's wearing a helmet on its head, and carrying a bone sword. It also has a red cape trailing behind it.

    The past one resembles Alolan Marowak, but much more feral. It floats in the air and has a lot more cracks in the skull.

    The right eye on the Future Marowak is glowing yellow while the left eye on the Past Marowak is glowing Blue.
