The world of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon is home to such a large and varied collection of creatures that were created and inspired by many of the animals that currently or once called Earth home. There are a number of these Pokémon that strong♌ly resemble the ancient and extinct reptiles that used to roam the Earth, commonly referred to as 🎐dinosaurs.
Though there's a number of them there still isn't an actual dinosaur-type and they're stuck being labeled as something else. Let's now look at 10 pokémon that proves there needs to be a dinosaur-typing.
Updated by Brianna Albert on October 26th, 2020: Ever since Pokémon began almost two decades ago, there have been plenty on designs that have been reminiscent of real-life and fantastical creatures. Although there are many types, such as grass, dragon, and the recently added fairy-type, there is no sign of any other types being added. However, one things fans have noticed is how many Pokémon can be other thingsーsuch as a dinosaur.
From dragon-type Pokémon that appear exactly like them to even some of the newest ones added in the Sword and Shield DLC Crown Tundra, here are some Pokémon that prove there should be a dinosaur-type added to the franchise.
15 Volcanion
Volcanion is one of the newest Pokémon on the digital block and was added in Generation VI, in the games Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.
This is a dual-type fire-water Pokémon, and it also had a big role in the movie, Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel where it harbored hatred for humankind. This Pokémon may not appear as dinosaur-like as other counterparts at first glance, but without caring too mu𒊎ch about the round part on its back, it has the potential to look like one.
14 Garchomp
Garchomp at first was thought to be a legendary Pok🦄émon, but this was debunked. Standing at 6'3, this tower of a Pokémon appears to 𒁏have merged both dragon and dinosaur attributes. Needless to say, the design certainly has some prehistoric vibes.
13 Nidoki𒉰ng/Nidoqueen ജ
Nidoran (and Nidorino for that matter) certainly do not appear like dinosaurs at first glance. However, after they've evolved into either Nidoking or Nidoqueen, they make a fairly 🦩striking case for the classification.
From the s🌟harp toxic horns on its back from the large tale it has, Nidoking or Nidoqueen can both fit the bill for a dinosaur-type perfectly.
12 Dracozolt
Dracozolt was also a new Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII, and in the Pokémon Sword and Shield Crown Tundra DLC as a new legendary🔴 in the 💜franchise.
It is known as a "fossil Pokémon" that is a dual-type of electric and dragon. This Pokémon clearly takes inspiration from dinosaurs, as it has the signature tiny T-Rex hands, ꧋large feet, and long tail to prove it. Not to mention that it's literally a "fossil" Pokémon 🍬— that's all the evidence needed, really!
11 𒉰 Carracosta
No one would have expected Tirtouga to evolve into Carracos🅷ta, purely on how non-threatening the tiny turtle Pokémon appeared.
Carracosta is water and rock-type that has details reminiscent of a dinosaur ー and a turtle, which it is mainly based upon. However, it was shown that some dinosaurs indeed looked like turtles ー or vice-versa ー such as 💮a Caℱrbonemys.
10 Lapras
Lapras, one of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kanto region's most lovable and che🌳rished pokémon, is an obvious shoutout to the animal legend known as 𒉰the Loch Ness Monster. That mythical mystery is believed to be the last living Plesiosaurus, a water-dwelling dinosaur that resembled the Brachiosaurus in many ways.
The cool thing about Lapras is that it stayed true to what a Plesiosaurus is, but added a neat turtle shell th💮at acts as a natural saddle for the trainers and/or passengers it ferries across the lakes, oceans, and rivers.
9 Rampardos
Rampardos happens to be a hard-headed pokémon by every form of the definition an♔d uses its head with reckless abandon. Its design and personality are not too different than the most popular of the thick-ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚskulled dinosaur species which go by the very long name of Pachycephalosaurus.
They're often referred to as 'Friar Tuck' as the bald head and circling spikes resemble that of the typical friar haircut. Rampardos have such thicಌk skulls𝐆 that it impedes their brain growth which results in their adolescent behaviors into adulthood.
8 Haxorus
Haxorus will likely be the most unlike any dinosaur we curren🌌tly 🐓know about, but in many ways, it exudes strong dinosaur and ancient reptilian energy. This thing is pretty passive and kind, but like most wild creatures it will defend its territory relentlessly.
The mandibles protruding from its face serve as tusks and are s💝imilar to the rest of the tough armor surrounding the rest of its body. I🌟ts two previous forms are much more dinosaur-like and it happens to be the one that makes it feel more like a pokémon and less like an actual creature.
7 Aurorus
Aurorus often referred to as the Tundra Pokémon, is an ice and rock dual-typed pokémon most notably known for the frills o🍷n its head and diamond-like markings along its body. This creature is pretty fantastical in design, but if it were to be directly inspired by any real-world dinosaur the likeliest candidate would be the Camarasaurus🌳.
Unlike the Brachiosaurus, the Camarasaurus had shorter necks. Though most people refer to Brachiosaur♐us as the go-to quadrupedal herbivore of the dinosaur kingdom, the Camarasaurus was actual the most common one to be found in North America.
6 Bastiodon
Most people would assume that Bastiodon is simply a triceratops with a shield-like head thrown in to make it feel more like a pokémon. The truth of the matter is that there's a distant cousi🙈n of the triceratops that sported a shield-like skull.
The name of this dinosaur was the Spiclypeus and the top of its head was long and box-like which made its entire sku🔯ll appear like a shield.𓆉 It was discovered in the state of Montana and was recently given an identifiable name a couple of years ago despite it being discovered well before that.
