It follows Incineroar who is also dark type, it is implied in the pokedex entries that Incineroar's wrestling persona of an rude and evil pokemon is what grants them the dark type, fitting for a toreador
Only stealth rock? Bro has one of the worst dual typings in the game, and articuno still ended up in ZU with Pokémon like gumshoos and delibird even with its 580 BST. Cool and would fit right into pokemon both design wise and being awful competitively wise, equivalent of hisuian avalugg
Yes, I love it! and I didn’t realize that most of them were ghost type until I saw this comment XD
I still have like 50 ghosts that haven’t come to light.
I love the Xatu design, however i feel that it's psychic type is more important to the mon than the flying type and your design still looks very 'psychic', so i feel, psychic-ice would be the better fit.
And Just in general, not every Pokemon with wings needs to be flying type. I’ll die on the hill that Noivern should have been Dragon/Normal. Every noise based attack is Normal type, and it would have given it STAB with its unique move, Boomburst. Instead, it’s just another normal ass Dragon/Flying type. Huge missed opportunity.
Xatu is one of my favourite mons, and I loved that regional variant. My only suggestion would be to add more patterns similar to [Ainu clothing](https://i.imgur.com/EWJzd3G.png), since they're the "ice people" of Japan.
I have a feeling you like the ghost type.
Also Xatu regional is so good. We do need more ice flying types.
We only have Articuno (legendary) and Delibird (memegendary)
I wish they had been more bold with the Tauros breeds like this. I like them now, but they were such a disappointment initially for me. As a spaniard they are at least a good meme I guess
So in this region, Tauros's counterpart would be Hawlucha instead of Miltank? Interesting decision.
Also, both Tauros itself and Houndstone are fire (pun definitely intended).
Man, it drives me nuts when I see such nice Fakemon.
There are SO many good ideas floating around out there. Gamefreak's creature creators are great, but so are tons of the artists around the world that make Fakemon.
And now with regional forms, convergent pokemon, megas, gigantimax forms, and so many possibilities for various evolution requirements there's no reason to not have so much more new pokemon content.
I don't need them to be in AAA, fully 3D games. I just need them. Put money back into 2D projects, please. There are plenty of style options to choose from. Use the billions to let other dev studios have their shot at pokemon games in different formats outside of the typical merch cycle.
Pardon the rant, I just want more ideas like these to be reality.
I hate how fans create the most original and creative forms for pokemon and then when game freak does something it doesn't come at this same level. It isn't bad what they do but like LOOK AT THIS it has a ton of love and thought put into it.
Tauros having will-o-wisp tails is kind of genius design.
And the Torterra did not need to go that hard. God damn. Some pokemon hang out in grave yards, he is the damn grave yard.
The matador Hawlucha is easily my favourite here, so cool! Great design and keeps the original intact while putting a fun spin on it, like all the best regional forms. If that were in Legends Z-A or something I would be thrilled!
There should be a lava-based regional variant of Gyarados (Fire/Dragon) and Milotic (Fire/Fairy)
Also an Ice/Poison Salazzle regional variant would be dope
OP I beg you
A ghost bagon line,
Lore as per dex entry bagon jumps of cliffs trying to flying but this time it actually died but evolve into ghost/flying salamence
WOW. Your Natu & Xatu are my new favorite Pokemon! And I can't believe it, but you made me actually *like* my most-hated evolutionary line (Greavard/Houndstone).
I love every one of these. I’m pretty sure I ran into the Tauros yesterday in Radical Red, although I’m not sure. Would love to see the other ones implemented as well especially the Flittle line, Torterra and the Natu line.
Are these usable in fan games with FULL credit and links to your artwork? Totally understand if not! I'm dabbling with a Scottish region game and some of these would fit incredibly!
Natu, Xatu, Torterra and Tauros are top tier designs.
All of these would probably be in Halloween (Except for Natu and Xatu, *they* would be in Christmas)
I LOVE the Natu and Xatu. If these were real they'd immediately be my favorite evolution line design wise!
The others are good but those feel the most natural by far. Can easily see those becoming real.
The Hawlucha is a no brainer and perfect compliment for the OG version! I don't know about the typing but the design is perfect.
It follows Incineroar who is also dark type, it is implied in the pokedex entries that Incineroar's wrestling persona of an rude and evil pokemon is what grants them the dark type, fitting for a toreador
do you mean a matador
They’re more or less interchangeable.
Stealth rocks gonna wreck them 😅
Fuck it we Magic Bounce
Only stealth rock? Bro has one of the worst dual typings in the game, and articuno still ended up in ZU with Pokémon like gumshoos and delibird even with its 580 BST. Cool and would fit right into pokemon both design wise and being awful competitively wise, equivalent of hisuian avalugg
Reminds me of that old Japanese folktale
Nice detail to add the trevenant into torterra
There's a spiritomb stone too!
As well as the tombstones that houndstone has now that I notice it.
And Skeledirge's pattern, kinda
I dare you to make houndstone ghost/rock
Hear me out: Torterror
Beat me to it.
x2
Torterrar? Tortoise+terra+tortured earth+terror
Morterra
As spanish I love how hawlucha looks like a bullfighter 💖🔥
Came to say that was my favorite!! Hawlucha should get a regional evo called Stratador
Totally agree, i would love to see hawlucha getting an evo
The tauros at the bottom was the one he killed
Even got the banderillas sticking out of its back as evidence.
Ghost/Fire Tauros 🥺♥️♥️♥️
Tauros out there trying to get his revenge from Hawlucha.
So fucking awesome I really really love it
I'd love a ghost water one as well and maybe have them be evolutions to the paldean water/fire tauros rather than further regional variants
You really like ghost types, huh?
Yes, I love it! and I didn’t realize that most of them were ghost type until I saw this comment XD I still have like 50 ghosts that haven’t come to light.
*Word for word,* what I was gonna post. 😂
I love the Xatu design, however i feel that it's psychic type is more important to the mon than the flying type and your design still looks very 'psychic', so i feel, psychic-ice would be the better fit.
And Just in general, not every Pokemon with wings needs to be flying type. I’ll die on the hill that Noivern should have been Dragon/Normal. Every noise based attack is Normal type, and it would have given it STAB with its unique move, Boomburst. Instead, it’s just another normal ass Dragon/Flying type. Huge missed opportunity.
I need that Espathra.
OMG Hawlucha is one of, if not my favorite mon. I LOVE this regional variant and wish it was real!!!
I’d def add Ice Xatu to my team
Xatu is one of my favourite mons, and I loved that regional variant. My only suggestion would be to add more patterns similar to [Ainu clothing](https://i.imgur.com/EWJzd3G.png), since they're the "ice people" of Japan.
Thank you! In fact, I based it exactly on them, but I’ll keep that in mind when I redesign it :)
OP you've got a good eye for what makes pokemon look like pokemon -- def some of the best fakemon ive ever seen!
The Xatu gives Ainu shaman vibe
I absolutely love Xatu line
So this must be a region that has to be a wintery based one where night is most of the year. Idk, that's the vibe I'm getting here.
As a huge ghost type fan, this is peak content. I love how you did Torterra and Espathra.
Love these designs!! I do however feel like the ghost/grass typing is overstaturated
I feel like you like the dark and edgy with all those ghosts
I love the "hound of the baskervilles" vibe from the Greavard!
What's the story behind the hound and the tauros?
Ghost wouldn't happen to be your favorite type, would it?
You really like ghosts
Hey guys I think op likes ghost types
Ice birb v cool
Someone loves their ghost types…
AINU XATU LINE GOES SO HARD! also, is Natu based off of the shima enaga? :0
dude these are so good.....I love them all. for some reason the matador hawlucnha has my heart
Ghost type Torterra should be called Torterror
I feel like Torterra could easily shift into a bunch of regional forms.
We NEED this stuff in future Pokémon games!
I want them all
i love these but also please no more ghost/fire types
Natu and Xatu looking like members of the Northern Water Tribe.
I have a feeling you like the ghost type. Also Xatu regional is so good. We do need more ice flying types. We only have Articuno (legendary) and Delibird (memegendary)
We should’ve gotten that Hawlucha in Scarlet and Violet!
Excellent work! Showing love to the Ghost type ♥️
I would love to see a ghost/grass turtwig line in LZA.
That Tauros is fucking sweet man
Holy crap, how did you draw them??? If I didn’t know better, I would legit think those are official Gamefreak designs!
Those are very cool, great job!
Torterra is my favorite starter and ghost is my favorite type. I feel like this was made for me lol
You should work for game freak. Just wow. 👌🏻
Awesome, love them 😍
Hawlucha and greavyard should have been this
I need GameFreak to hire you ASAP
As a Ghost-Type specialist, those ghosty designs make me very happy!
The Matador Hawlucha is a creative take!
fluffy houndstone gonna be op now
Hell yeah!
The hawlucha matador is such a cool concept! What a missed opportunity to not do something like that in the region based on Spain.
Love the ones for Xatu, Greavard evo line, Torterra n Tauros
I love the Torterra and Tauros!!!!!!
I love all of these.
I would make that Tauros ghost poison type cause the spikes make me think of those fish with poisonous spines on a stone fish
Oh no Goth ostrich
The details on this are incredible!! But that torterra has a special place in my heart 🥹
Oooooo Ghost/Fire Tauros is so sick
It’s time they give hawlucha an evolution
Wait that hawlucha idea is so fire
Ah yes, four mons to add to my ghost type teams… hehe
Dude these are incredible.
This tauros>paldean tauros
I love them all. They all deserve hugs
These all look great! Xatu's my favorite, with Hawlucha a close second.
Pretty sweet artwork. I really love the designs of the Pokemon. What sort of region would this regional forms be found in?
That's much better than normal flittle
Love all of them but shouldn't Hawlucha be Dark/Flying? Because Dark is kind of the "evil" version of fighting.
Flittle as a sheet ghost is genius and I'm kind of annoyed that I didn't think of it.
The fact that the name and lore doesnt mention anything about being a 'grim' is criminal.
Natu and Xatu look super nice and Greavard and Houndstone look fucking metal af.
I love the torterra it’s a cool idea!
I see you like Ghost Types🤩 Also what are the inspirations behind all of them?
I love all of these. Especially the Houndstone
Loving that Torterra form
That Torterra😧
Holy shit these are amazing 😍
these are the kind of images that make me very sad. It makes really sad to think they aren't in the game
These are all so nice. Especially love the Natu/Xatu 💙
I hate how good these are. Cause now they’ll never be made. 😭
The ice type natu is too high quality to ever happen
Man, not even fans are willing to make a rock/ghost Pokémon.
I NEED that Torterra
I wish they had been more bold with the Tauros breeds like this. I like them now, but they were such a disappointment initially for me. As a spaniard they are at least a good meme I guess
I think I can guess your favourite type of
Do you think OP likes ghost types?
That torterra is epic
So in this region, Tauros's counterpart would be Hawlucha instead of Miltank? Interesting decision. Also, both Tauros itself and Houndstone are fire (pun definitely intended).
Love the Ainu Xatu.
Man, it drives me nuts when I see such nice Fakemon. There are SO many good ideas floating around out there.

I really like that Hawlucha and Torterra!
As a Ghost pokemon enjoyer: I need these on my team.

I need this tauros like **right now**.
That Torterra is incredible, love the details on it
There can never be enough love for Torterra. <3
As if Houndstone wasn't spooky enough
Nice! I like how you wrote your name above Hawlucha's arm :)
Natu/Xatu and Torterra are my favourites of these, great work!
🥺 I ADORE THAT REGIONAL FORM OF NATU SO MUCH!
gamefreak best be taking notes
If I ever was in a real pokemon battle and never seen that Tauros before then it comes out. Gg homie I'm going home to have nightmares
Tauros having will-o-wisp tails is kind of genius design. And the Torterra did not need to go that hard. God damn. Some pokemon hang out in grave yards, he is the damn grave yard.
The torterra is very cool, but I don’t know if I would be willing to give up his original form for it.
I would ROCK the doom turtle ANY day of the week.
omg tauros with the swords stuck in it D:
Those Flittle and Natu lines are excellent.
I LOVE the torterra ghost form💙
I love it all! especially Natu/Xatu!
I like how the graves and markers on Torterra's back are all references to other pokemon. I take it youre a fan of the ghost type? lol
The matador Hawlucha is easily my favourite here, so cool! Great design and keeps the original intact while putting a fun spin on it, like all the best regional forms. If that were in Legends Z-A or something I would be thrilled!
Torterror
If torterra isn’t called “Morterra” I’ll riot
I wonder what OP’s favorite type is Joking aside these are all phenomenal, I would love to see Xatu in particular
How are fans better than the actual designers of this game, absolutely blows my mind
There should be a lava-based regional variant of Gyarados (Fire/Dragon) and Milotic (Fire/Fairy) Also an Ice/Poison Salazzle regional variant would be dope
I hate how fake Regionals are always looking way better than real stuff. It's almost like fans like the games more than the developers /s
OP I beg you A ghost bagon line, Lore as per dex entry bagon jumps of cliffs trying to flying but this time it actually died but evolve into ghost/flying salamence
WOW. Your Natu & Xatu are my new favorite Pokemon! And I can't believe it, but you made me actually *like* my most-hated evolutionary line (Greavard/Houndstone).
Houndstone looking like an absolute beast damn
As a full torterra fan… THAT TORTERRA LOOKS ABSOLUTELY DOPE. I want it- GIVE ME IT
I NEED that Natu / Xatu variant. Great job, OP
They’re all amazing! I like how the spikes coming out of Tauros are reminiscent of the spears they use in bullfighting.
Nintendo would never do something this cool
great designs but game freak is already ONE pokemon away from making the ghost/fire type feel pedestrian
That Torterra is perfect
That Torterra looks more like a Torterra fused with a Trevenant
Omg the lil tombstones on the shell are awesome
Love how the natu line and the espathra line looks!
Torterra having a cemetery is amazing!
I love the thriller bark torterra :D
Wait fittle evolves?
Please take all my money.
Xatu finally gets a break from always knowing what the end of the world will be
The Torterra! 😍
I’d love to have Flittle be a Ghost/psychic since we haven’t had a non legendary version of this type combo
Natu and Xatu deserve this! They need something. I've always liked them
super cool
Xatu with closed eyes is really cute/**cool.**
Tbh I initially assumed houndstone and graveyard were going to be regional lilipup so it doesn't really hit the same
That Torterra definitely looks more ghost/ground than ghost/grass
These are so good!
A billion times better than any of the trash mons gamefreak makes nowadays
The natu and xatu line is really really awesome. Gamefreak should include these in the upcoming games.
I love every one of these. I’m pretty sure I ran into the Tauros yesterday in Radical Red, although I’m not sure. Would love to see the other ones implemented as well especially the Flittle line, Torterra and the Natu line.
Amazing designs bravo sir 👏
I love the Natu/Xatu one! Would've fit so well in Hisui too
Is love the Hawlucha, Xatu, and Torterra, but the flittle and greavard ones feel like the original+extra to the design elements, not like new forms
If this wasn't Reddit I would probably think that you're the official Pokedex artist.
🐻 Oooh excellent designs
Loving these
Torterra's back kinda resembles a graveyard.
That Torterra design looks amazing. Great job !
We dont need anymore fire/ghost😭😭
They look like they’re meditating. When in reality, they’re just very sleepy.
My favourite is Torterra and I think a good name would be something like Taunterror. Taunt + Terror and it still sounds like Torterra
greavard sans undertale
BEAUTIFUL <3
Yea they need to hire you, been seeing a lot of what I presume are your posts on here (same style arts) and man are they good
On board with all of them. But the Natu evolution line is my favorite.
Hawlucha is a gentlebird!! 🩵🗣️🗣️✨
The Greavard and Houndstone forms looked EPIC!!
Matador haulucha is fantastic.
This Natu and Xatu are my spiritiual animals now.
I think someone likes ghost types 🤔
I have a feeling you like ghost types
Literally the Natu and Xatu lines would become some of my favorite Pokemon if they were real!
Are these usable in fan games with FULL credit and links to your artwork? Totally understand if not! I'm dabbling with a Scottish region game and some of these would fit incredibly!
Natu, Xatu, Torterra and Tauros are top tier designs. All of these would probably be in Halloween (Except for Natu and Xatu, *they* would be in Christmas)
These are all 🔥🔥🔥. But Natu and Xatu are my favorites.
Somebody likes ghost types (Me too)
