An actual dunkleosteus.

I get why they did the fossil pokemon in gen 8 the way they did. Doesn't stop all of them from being stupid and disappointing wastes.

I don't know very many pokemon in the grand scheme of things, anything close to a Radiodonts already?

The suriname toad or gastric brooding frogs might make for interesting takes on the Pokemon with attached babies concept. The former has honeycomb-shaped holes on its back which it raises its children in, and the latter is a recently extinct species which eats its eggs and has its stomach turned off until it vomits out its babies.

That's why I didn't post a GIF!

For a less scary creature, maybe Game Freak could borrow a shoebill, the bird that Skyward Sword invented.

You said "less scary" but a bird that sounds like a machine gun ranks pretty high on my "pants shittingly terrifying" animal list

I want better kangaroo and meerkat. Mantis shrimp feels inevitable as do all the different dog breeds. Like we'll get a dalmatian and Chihuahua at some point.

Hyena (Poochyena/Mightyena are basically wolves)
If they do another hyena Pokemon, they could take the angle where it's based on the real world scenario where the hyena is the hunter that the lion steals from instead of the pop culture depiction of it the hyena as the scavenger. Have it look like a typical Dark type but instead be a Fighting type with mostly straightforward attacks, while having a regional Pyroar or Luxray that looks more majestic than the original but is a Dark type with attacks like Snatch and Thief.

Cant believe no one's said narwhal yet. I want one.
I learned that the narwhal's horn is just a single big front tooth and I hate them now.

Interesting story here.

So, I did some research and in Japan some areas refer to tanuki to mean raccoon dog, but in other places it can also refer to a badger. So that seems to be the idea...raccoon dog to badger. So then the western Galar one is a more western-y idea of a raccoon to a badger to a honey badger.

Zoroark is a fox, which in Japan have similar powers. We don't have a mystical tanuki Pokémon though.
Yeah Zigzagoon is not a Raccoon, it's colour palette should be enough to say other wise but considering how many pieces of media change Tanukis into Raccoons I guess people just haven't learned

So yeah I want a real Raccoon pokemon

One thing I'm surprised we haven't gotten is an arctic wolf. I remember back even in gen 3 as a kid I doodled some arctic wolf Pokemon, Ice/Dark types:

A blue bird that evolves into a billionaire who is limited to a single move that can only damage psychic types with a 10% hit rate. Like a reverse Magikarp -> Gyrados.

Bluechek -> Muskratt

I'm still waiting for a proper ass shark pokemon. Not Sharpedo that's basically just a shark head.

Like thresher sharks already have a signature move. They literally whip the shit out of things with their tails!
