Pokémon I Eventually Found What They were Inspired By
Magcargo = Scaly-Footed Gastropod (Volcano Snail)
The volcano snail lives deep in the ocean inside volcanic vents because of its incredible endurance against heat. Magcargo is Fire/Rock type, but it should’ve been Fire/Steel when I found out volcano snails make their shells from iron sulfide, meaning volcano snails have metal shells.
Spidops = Ogre-Faced Spider
The ogre-faced spider is known for having the biggest eyes out of all existing spiders. It can absorb way more light into its eyes than any human, which explains why Spidops’ eyes are mostly black. Ogre-faced spiders make webs as any spider does, but it holds a second web with its hands to trap its prey, which is where Silk Trap comes from

I think Butterfree is a cabbage butterfly or something?

My mom is afraid of Tarountula. Random but it's what came to mind.

It's probably because it's a spider, but she also loves Joltik as much as I do (especially when it bounces which I thought she'd also be scared of)

My mom has had this in her Scarlet game for a year now. And it's been a year and she hasn't even beat one gym.
I caught it while she was away because of how afraid of Tarountula she was.
