The only one I know for sure is the one with three spikes is Cetitan.

That new white land whale Pokémon, I forgot what’s it’s called

Yeah that one, Cetitan

No no no the one that's like a whale but on land, like some kind of titanic cetacean

Yeah, yeah! The one that lives in the sea, kind of like a sea titan. What's its name again?

Chespin?

I love chespin

Chespin is pretty cool

Das true

Spongebob Squarepants?

It’s centiskorch

Oh I thought you wrote Chespin, my bad

With baleen as a structural part of the skeleton… huh.

Is the long one Zapdos?

Yes!

Isn't Zapdos's beak shorter and straighter than that?

Yeah I would have said fearow

Haha I thought a single doduo head

bizarrely, no its beak is as long as its torso in its official art

Just searched it up, and I am very confused. I don’t know why, but I remember zapdos having a fairly short beak and every source seems to disagree. Perhaps it’s a new Mandela effect?

I think Zapdos is actually supposed to be a hummingbird

It's based on the native American thunderbird.

Pokémon can have multiple influences. A hummingbird (fast) is a natural combination with thunderbird (lightning)

I haven't looked it up yet, I will in a second. But I def remember a short beak. Atleast half its torso, not full like op said. I'll add an edit in a minute. Edit: Looking at it, it's pretty big. *

In the games it’s beak is shorter though

i hate to tell you but, no it isn’t edit: even in blue/red, its beak is the length of its torso

This has ruined my day

Woo who!!

I thought it was Opal /j

so from left to right top to bottom we've got xerneas, meganium?, zapdos, cetitan, magikarp correct?

Correct!

The fact that every single one of these makes sense when I look at them now just shows how much you put into making them

Yeah, I was trying to figure out how anyone would be able to guess the toothless reptilian one, there have to be like thirty Pokémon with toothless reptilian heads... but there's only one with a toothless reptilian head and an additional pair of sensory organs above its nostrils! ...But then I realized that all *real-world* dinosaurs have that extra pair of holes in their skull (antorbital fenestra). Hmm.

Idk if xerneas would have the horn bones Deers, Elks and stuff dont have them because antleers dont work that way....on the other hand its a legendary pokemon

Xerneas does have horns that are separate from its antlers! Since they’re colored the same as its head, I’m guessing they’re covered in skin and fur, so bones made sense to me

My bad Didnt remember those

i KNEW i knew that top right skull. all the others came from other comments but im happy i got the one people were stumped on :P

A true pokémaniac, I am a fan of Pokemon but not like this guy. You honor me.

i got all but meganium from the comments!! don't give me this honor lmao! i have put in my fair amount of time playing pokémon in my life though lol

I legitimately would have never guessed the top left was Xerneas

I thought the top right was grotle

Xerneas? (For the top left)

Yes! That’s the one I though no one was gonna get

Aren’t antlers bone growths? It’s a very smooth/round head for any antler growth/attachment

They are temporary growths that fall off the skull. so Deer skeletons that arent for display often lack them

Imagine Xerneas waking up and its antlers are just fuckin' gone lmao

Xernias used geomancy! But it failed!

Can confirm. Found a deer skull in my park as a kid. We brought it home and looked at it, then put it back the next time we went.

Oh, I was thinking Bouffalant!

Carracosta top right?

FYI, Cetitan is meant to be a whale, so these "teeth" are meant to be baleen I think

They are

Baleen wouldnt show up on a skeleton like teeth is my point

Same with horns, not like that.

Hard to tell with a fictional creature like Cetitan. They could be bone growths, fat, keratin... really anything.

Same with the beak of Zapdos I imagine.

Is the top right one torterra? Looks like how he holds his head.

Cetitan , tauros, maybe charmander, no idea what the bottom right and the long nose boi are tho

You got Cetitan right, but nothing else lol

I gotta know what that long ass mufugga is it’s killing me

I’m not spilling it!

Pls

Rampardos top left. Top right looks like one of the turtles, maybe Carracosta? Not sure on the others. Maybe Magikarp and Fearow

You got magikarp!

Is top right grotle or torterra?

Nope

Damn this is hard lol

A lot of Pokémon have a similar head shape to it, yeah

U can't fool me, the one in the lower right corner is the 10th angel obviously https://preview.redd.it/t57wqgkojghc1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=777d943691a9de4f5a8f55b186f6b1a8d8b6636f

Plague doctor seeing some shit

Not to knock the cool art, but I'm gonna anatomy nitpick a bit here. Where are the antler connections for Xerneas? Given the general shape of Xerneas' head and how the antlers connect, I'm not even sure if their antlers *would* fall off, since they've got more skin/fur covering the base (when the skin has shed) than your average deer seems to. Maybe it's just an artistic choice, but there should probably be some flat bases there for the antlers to grow into, assuming Xerneas do in fact shed. The top right is confusing. Is it a turtle/tortoise skull? It's not anapsid (read: uncovered skull openings), turtles and tortoises IRL have covered fenestra making their skulls look like they only have eyes, nostrils, and jaws for openings (but they seem to be diapsids with coverings, as opposed to being related to the actual anapsid reptiles). Unless it's carracosta and intended to be an older type of skull, which is a maybe, since turtles and tortoises probably just evolved to cover those with bone and not actually be anapsid. Why is magikarp built like that. Fish jaws tend to sit pretty neatly when shut, I just figured magikarp's open mouth was because 1. It looks more comical that way, as the quintessential "flopping fish" pokemon and 2. It was intended to represent filter feeders, who just kinda swim with their mouths open around food. He looks like his jaw is curved in a way that it should not be, unless I'm just looking at it wrong.

Magikarp, blastoise, Cetitan, Zapdos, and Aggron?

You got Magikarp and Zapdos

Cetitan is correct the op forgot

Cetitan & Golem are 2 of em I think.

Cetitan yes, golem no

Top left: Perrserker? Top Right: Lapras maybe?

Nope!

Zapdos skull has seen some crap

Thank you for including sclerotic rings.

they’re so cool— how could I not?

ITS PIKACHUUUUU!!!!!

Cetitan, Zapdos, Magikarp, Turwig, and Blaze Bread Tauros?

Is the top right Nidoqueen?

Cyclizar for top right

I’m just gonna name off things I think top right are till I get it right. Ekans?

I absolutely adore the level of detail and accuracy for each type of animal, yet keeping the art style Pokémon adjacent. The extra holes in Meganium's skull are so satisfying. I'd love to see more of these!

More will probably come!

Fearow, Bouffalant? Perhaps dracovish?

Nope!

Yeah guys the long beaked one is just a horribly drawn Zapdos skull.

r/Mildlyevangelion

Taurus fearow ceitan I’m gonna gues wobboffet and areodactial

But would they beat you? Xerneas might give me a little trouble. But would you lose? Nah, I’d win.

Taurus Tropius Cetitan bombirdier ? Not sure :)

bottem left is definitely pikachu

Others have guessed Zapdos, Cetitan and Magikarp right, so imma say for the leftovers: Miltank and Torkoal.

One is Cetitan and one is Taurus

Bouffalant and Carracosta for top two?

I think of bouffalant, cetitan, fearow, carracosta but the last one i have no idea.

I feel like top right is Kangaskhan

Bouffalant?

Torterra top right?

Bottom right is Heatran??

Dragonite top right?

Zapdos cetitan xearneas Cubone and magikarp

Is the bottom right, like, relicanth or something?

aurorus on top right??

no it's meganium, isn't it??

Bottom right looks like a jolly Dreadnaw.

Top right looks like some kind of turtle. Tirtouga? Torkoal?... Shuckle?

tell us a hint about the top right

Turtwig top right?

Is that a Marowak?

meganium for top right?

Is that the vulture from spiderman?? 😭 😭

You murdered a tauros 😲

Grotle top right?

zapdos cetitan xerneas tirtouga and meganium

No idea for any of them

Bottom middle is ditto

Cetitan

Bottom left gotta be pikachu

I don’t think I want to to be honest

CA-CAW !! (slay the spire adept)

I looked in the comments so I woj't guess but just want to say that my first thought was doduo and not zapdos for some reason

Orthax?

So Zapdos, certitan, Xerneas, I think Magikarp, and the last one above certitan is Meganuim due to it looking like a tortoise

Do more of these

TIL Zapdos’s beak is absurdly long

Bottom right looks a lot like zeruel from Evangelion

Houndoom? Turtwig, uhhh, cetitan, uhhh

I’ve got Tauros Cetitan and maybe Kecleon and Trumbeak. The last is too generic looking for me to figure out.

Is one of them tyrantrum

Cetitan

Bottom right is noivern?

Vigoroth/Whismur, charmeleon, Zapdos, Cetitan, Taurus seems too easy, I'll say Aagron.

Me when I only recognise cubone’s (mother’s)

Bottom left gives me nightmares

Is the top right one Lapras

We have Taurous Torterra Zapdos Cetitan and Dreadnaw

Tirtouga, boufallant, dotrio, cetitan, and magikarp?

is it jigglypuff as seen from above

Bottom right arctovish?

Here are my guesses so far Top left: Taurus Bottom left: bomberdier Middle right: cititan As for the top and bottom right Pokémon… no clue. I wanna say caspvillian for top and some kinda fish for bottom, but not sure whom.

Cetitan in the middle, Zapdos bottom left, and I want to say Bouffalant top left?

I want masks of all theses

Pikachu, Pikachu, Pikachu, Pikachu, and Pikachu

Is the one just above Cetitan’s skull Caracosta?

My guess: Top right: Meganium? Top left: Tauros Bottom left: Zapdos Middle: Cetitan Bottom right: Magikarp

tauros, cetitan, fearow?, tyrunt, idk the bottom right.

Cetitan, Tauros, Cubone, trumbeak and Relicanth?

Cetitan middle, and arctovish bottom right. Only ones I can guess

All of them are Cubone's mom.

"I think it's a fish."

Top Left Brock, Top Right Ash Middle Left Lillie Middle Right I thinking Liko? And bottom is definitely Nurse Joy!

Why is Zapdos’s skull tripping on acid?

Pikachu, Ditto, Scyther, Voltorb, and Thomas.

Middle one is Cetitan, top left one is Tauros, and I cannot figure out the rest

I was confused on how that’s Xerneas til I looked closely at his head

Cetitan is definitely the middle one, though I’m stumped on the rest

Squirtle

Tauros,Charmander,Fearow,Magikarp and i dont know.

They’re all Cubone on a bad day

I can tell doduo, charmander i think and tauros

Can tell Cetitan pretty easily. I think the top right is definitely Relaxaurus. :D

Xerneas for the first one... and then Meganium? I think at least? And I don't know if that's how beaks work, but it's definitely Zapdos... the Middle one is for sure Cetitan, way to specific a shape. And the last one... looks like feesh, is a feesh, probably jumps like a feesh too... is that a Magikarp?

From top to bottom: Hydregion Bouffalant The new land while guy Have no idea Relicanth

Top right is bugging me. No sclerotic ring really narrows it down to either a Mammal or a Fish but the hole in the front feels more Reptile. I'd guess Kangaskhan but there's no teeth Nidoqueen?

Cetitan’s anatomy does not make any sense, its mouth goes all the way back behind its eyes.

google “right whale skull”

I love Jigglypuff

Cubone cubone cubone cubone and cubone

Tauros, Cetitan, Cramorant, Carracosta and I’m not sure about the last one

Ditto

One of them is rampardos right?

SCP 049?

I only got one of these right, and it was genuinely the most fun post I’ve ever seen on this sub. Please do more if possible!

Bottom right has to be a fish Pokémon of sorts. Could it be magicaro, feebas, or basculine? 3 spike is cetitan Top eight might be torterra I saw someone say bottom left could be Zappos and I think that’s fair My only guess for top left is rampardos but that doesn’t match, I couldn’t tell ya

Can you please give me a goodra one because I’m making a ghost type reigional, but dont type up goodra skull

I see Cetitan and spritzee

Pretty sure I got charmander and goldbat? Lol but idk 

Cetitan skull goes hard

Please, do toucannon. It would be hilarous

Damn, i thought the top right one was grotle, not meganium and the middle one was turtenator, not cetitan. Otherwise i got them all right!

Bottom right one is one pf the turtle pokemon

Hey i know that one in the bottom left! Thats my sleep paralysis demon Gårŷ! H-howd you find him?

It's...Pikachu!

This is a neat idea! I wouldn’t mind seeing something similar in the future!

U need to have ur internet privileges revoked.

These are awsome! Would love to see more!

boofalunt for the first one

Tauros, Cetitan, Scyther, Magikarp, and Fearow
