Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are based in the Paldea region, and they are coming out later this year! I wanted to see what ideas we could come up with for what the fossil Pokemon might be this generation... IF ANY! We narrowed down our ideas to the two best of them, and so here they are! You can call them Pokemon Scarlet and Violet predictions if you want, but we're really just having fun with the theme. :)

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out!

A cool thing they could do for Scarlet is basically "de-rock" the fossils, aka show them to us in their original appearances before the reviving machine altered them… but we all know they're chicken and would never do that.

[@sassas1487]

galar fossils?

[@thejensonater4492]

@@sassas1487 the only problem with that is that they aren’t what the ancient pokemon actually looked like, they were fusions, based on how the first palaeontologists would just fit whatever they found together and call it a dinosaur. I can appreciate the lack of the rock type though.

[@xSolidBluex]

I think it would be neat if they capitalize on the past/future gimmick the legendaries seem to be using. Give us two forms for the two fossils for each version. The X/Rock type, representing the traditional fossil trend and Muraidon's future theme. Then maybe give us the pure form, heck for all fossil pokemon. Give us the original form of the fossilmon as 'Paldean' or just Koraidon Past themed versions of each.

[@icelandgaming]

I mean, they are going for open world, and they have been doing some experimenting. Who knows, maybe they'll do something like this after all?

[@euantheyutyrannus]

Oh yeah, and remove the rock type

[@timelordacaelus5959]

10:18 They also kind of invert the generation's theme of past vs future in an interesting way. The sleek, metallic, more intelligent looking one is a sword fighter. Where as the more technically advanced one looks more like a brutish beast.

[@QuantumWaltz]

Inverted AND played straight, honestly. Early guns like arquebuses were brutish weapons, pretty rudimentary. They harnessed the basic principle behind a gun [expanding gas shoves small weight forward very fast] and not much else. Conversely, rapiers came along very LATE in the lifespan of swords used as viable weapons, and were expensive, highly-refined pieces of technology that required practice and training to use effectively. In the (relatively) brief period of time where firearms and blades overlapped as common combat-dominating weapons of choice, the gun was primitive and clunky, while the sword was elegant and advanced.

[@guts60]

Kyarrbon is actually quite similar to Turtenator. If Kyarrbon were canon, it would most definitely be Turtenator’s ancestor

[@radtrainlord8126]

Same I imagine as ornimean and skarmoury

[@shynox599]

[@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123]

For Kyarrbon and Barrel Blast, I'm imagining it having a new ability where it takes half damage from all 'explosive moves' (Self Destruct, Explosion, Misty Explosion, etc) and as for Barrel Blast, maybe the first time you use it, it acts like Boomburst where it attacks everyone on the field, but also damages Kyarrbon for 1/4th of it's max HP (losing your tail hurts), then it goes into its "No Tail Form" and Barrel Blast becomes a move like Bullet Seed where it's a multi-hit attack. Maybe have the first version be Physical and the second be Special.

[@wolfiemuse]

Or a really cool (although admittedly not super competitively viable but neither is yours aha) alternate idea would be that if an explosive move is used on it, because Kyarrbon would also explode if something exploded near him, the Pokémon who uses an explosive move on him receives damage equivalent to 25% of their total HP. It wouldn’t be super useful if it was just explosive moves though. Maybe if any Fire-type damaging move or explosion-based move is used on it? That would be cool.

Thing is I was thinking of what gen ten would be like a followup the time thing of gen 9 (or gen 5’s whole “reboot” idea will happen again but let’s not worry about that) which would obviously be space, and I basically thinking “outer space and…uh…………uuuuhhhh. Underground. Wait no that’s too boring in comparison, um, MULTIVERSE, no wait that’s too cool in comparison, and Pokémon lore. *what* *do* *I* *do* “ But a uncharted region would be perfect.

Moltres is all fire...and also uses fire-moves but also can learn flying moves like skydrop, since it has dual typing. Heck Charmander can learn metal claw.

[@QuizMasterEntertainment]

For reference sake, the Spanish word for a rapier is an "Estoque" with "Estocada" being the word for the traditional frontal stab. As for the "Furia" attack, I think that could fit really well, specially now they are fixing the competitive item and there's a specific item called "Loaded dice" from the last trailer at this point which augments the chances of attacks to hit multiple times

[@wildfi5514]

But it would lead to translation issues considering that in the Spanish version of the games Fury attack is already called Furia

I think Kyarrbon should have a new signature ability called Carbonize. The way this ability works is that after the user uses Barrel Blast, they can return to the trainer and when healed in the player inventory and sent back out again, their hammer tail will be restored. This ability is kind of like Zero to Hero in a way but requires a little more action to it.

[@Jormyyy]

Kyarrbon now takes the cake as my all time favorite Lockémon. Like, ever. Of all time. Ankylosaurus is already my favorite dinosaur and one of my favorite animals in general, so to see it represented so well here while also adding that fun Pokémon twist (as to not just make a cartoon version of the animal), is absolutely astounding. I love Kyarrbon very much and oh so wish it was a real mon! ANK GO BOOM!!

Sword dancer would break the game. Even the gen 8 legendarys with the plus 1 attack/Defence are nearly game breaking. This doubled could be hard. Or the attack is minimalistic

[@wolfiemuse]

Yeah I also commented that haha. The attack stat would have to be like 55-60 for that to be viable and it could still snowball out of control REALLY quick in a favorable matchup where it gets +2 on entry then +2 after KO, it’s attack stat is essentially doubled

It could be the ancestor to Tauros and the inevitable bull fighter bull Pokemon.

[@maxlawcock406]

Cool concepts especially with Kyarbon. I would say though there is actually a very unique dinosaur first found in Spain being Concavenator which was a unique carcharadontosaur with a crest/hump for its back. If that dino could be a mon, I think a Rock/Fighting would be nice and design could be based on conquisadors and halberds. The names even match well with something like Conquisanator.

We kinda got that with Baxcalibur. It even has the same spiky quill things on its arms that scientists think Concavenator had.

These are very cool ideas! Albeit I feel it would be weird if there wasn't a Concavenator fossil mon. But yeah a Pelecanimimus and explosions fossil mon fits well, and Pelecanimimus is the second weirdest ornithomimosaurian (after Deinocheirus), it's strange the relative obscurity it has. It also has a flesh crest and I believe a throat pouch too but I'm not that sure on that one.

Another Iberian fossils, that we haven't seen as pokemon, are the Barionix (with 4 species known in the Iberian peninsula) being a piscivorous dinosaur, it could be also inspired by the submarine, the inventor of the first modern submarine was a Spanish scientist, Isaac Peral (I also think that we should look more into non-weapon related inventions for more Pokémons) it should be Rock/Water and learn electric moves or Rock/Electric and learn water moves (as the Peral Submarine was the first fully electric submarine). it could be called Subperyx (submarine + Peral + Barionyx) for the second fossil, there are a bunch of interesting looking Iberian prehistoric animals, such as the Concavenator, but I think a cool one could be the Iberomesornix (Ibero meaning that it comes form the Iberian peninsula), a very small prehistoric bird from the cretacic, it could be a Rock/Fairy that learns flying moves (the precursor of the Helicopter, the "Autogiro" or "Girocoptero" was also invented by a Spaniard, Juan de la Cierva) so we could have a submarine pokemon and a "proto-helicopter" one

[@dragonicdoom3772]

I had an alternative idea for Ornamean's Ability: Riposte (a return thrust in fencing). When a move targets and misses the Pokemon, it makes a riposte against the attacker, dealing 33% of the attacker's max HP. As for Barrel Blast, I was thinking of it being a 150 base power Fire type move with 100 accuracy, but after the first use its base power is halved. It only regains its original power after Kyarrbon faints and is revived (or when the battle ends obv).

These fossils are so cool, and I'm so glad you got one of my favorite artists for the Pokemon art! Honestly though, this just makes me want to see the baby forms of these guys! Something tells me they'd be super cute!!

[@hambonusmaximus]

I always love your concepts for Pokémon. You put so much thought and care into the details!

[@TheEphemeralEternity]

I adore kyarrbon and ornamean so much... wish they were both in an actual game tbh. Havent loved a fossilmon this much since kabutops, omanyte, and aerodactyl

[@ALittleBitEpicJeffrey]

Another absolute win. I look forward to these fakemon videos every time. :D

[@Dotexclamationmark]

I like how Kyarrbons tail both looks like a explosive barrel and a cartoon hammer

[@newquinken]

I LOVE the concept of Kyarbon! It's So cool!

[@Zakuru12]

Lockstin, you really have a gift for this! These are great- this, your project region, all of it!

[@Kuronezumiko]

I could try and write a really well written comment, but all I really need to say is that; these designs, and the research, thoughts, and effort that went into them are absolutely amazing. GF will have to hit a homerun to beat these designs.

[@randohelicopter8760]

its a good day when lockstin & gnoggin uploads.

[@wylmarp]

I really loved the pokémon and the concepts behind them, and now I'm thinking on the fossil designs itself. Maybe the Kyarrbon one is a piece of his armor, a 'plate fossil', and a teeth or upper jaw for the Ornamean, 'blade fossil'.

[@kRx1203]

Okay, that design of having a gunpowder barrel exploding, and then a gun barrel firing both covered under "Barrel Blast" is genius.

[@laurazasada5534]

Love the video and these are two example of my favorite types of diosaurs! I have already created head cannon for themñ Kyarbon is stereo typically slow and beefy, but is signature move would be a moderately high powered physical attack, and when the barrel part smashes off, and the tail-gun is revealed, it sharply lowers physical attack and sharply buffs special attack, this way, it could be a surprise mixed attacker if it wanted to. Then for the other fossil, Ornamean, gets an signature move that is moderately powered, but raises special defense and physical defense 1 stage every turn, playing into the cloak and dagger theme. It would be be fast and kinda frail (not sneasle frail though), so a couple of turns with this move and maybe a sitrus berry or with a healer in doubles would make this a threat.

[@TheBigE9999]

I know it has nothing to do with the actual region, but i really want a giant sloth. Just a huge groudon sized behemoth with giant claws and a normal/rock typing

[@Dorkyzzz]

lovely artwork and really cool fossil ideas !! always love a good mon making video and everything ties in so well

[@OniBlinker]

Ok heres my idea, what if ornamean had a signature ability that naturally increases its accuracy and critical hit rate, but when low health (about red or maybe yellow) its feathers ruffle up, lowering its accuracy and crit but raising its attack and special attack? It could be called something fancy yet ferocious like “noble fury” or “ruffled focus”

[@OniBlinker]

@@im-yas thats the same idea i had for kyarrbon although i think just keeping it at rock/fire would balance it a bit more since its already jumping through stats like a chihuahua hops through rings at a dog contest so maybe also having type changing into the mix might make it a bit weird or complex

[@catdadmakesmusic]

Really love them both! Definitely hard-lean toward the bird one! Wish it had an actual bad ass blade though 😼🔥

[@tetravega567]

That one ankylosaur fossil's spikes look like a giant leaf on it's back, so Rock Grass would be neat.

[@annikathewitch3950]

...I think it probably says something about me that I intantly recognized one of the nodosaur fossils that was shown for a few seconds on screen. Hooray for Borealopelta markmitchelli!

[@SSJ22Terris]

don't diss on the cambrian! The whole Paleozoic is rad and severely underrated. Also, nomination for Haztegopteryx as a potential fossil too. It wasn't discovered in the iberian Peninsula but it predated around the ancient islands that today is Modern Europe, and it's super cool! Perhaps it could be a bonus Fossil Pokemon similar to Aerodactyl

[@jamieparker9970]

I think these two are my faves of all the ones you’ve created!!

[@tristandahn2284]

Swords Dancer is basically Download but you always get the attack increase and Moxie in one ability... And those are Swords dances, so that's like Plus 2 attack every time you switch in, NOT TO MENTION GETTING A KILL. Since another pokemon, Cyclizar got revealed to have a signature move, which essentially switches out to another pokemon for free, via substitute. Get a free switch with the lizard, and then switch into the funny bird, and you got a W. Even If it was slow it would still be able to dismantle a team pretty easily, especially if scarfed. Especially if it one shots. Though if this is a Rampardos situation then maybe he is balanced. Dang it Lockstin! Why do you keep making pokemon that I want in the official games so badly?!

[@StaryRobyn]

I was literally looking for a new trailer when I saw these

[@pwojo9776]

I was thinking a pair of fossil Pokémon that'd be especially interesting for Scarlet and Violet. A mammoth and a saber-tooth cat. I was thinking another similar past and future aspect of them, the mammoth line is like a Roman legionnaire (dark red fur, bronze plates for armor with like a mohawk that looks like a Roman helmet thing; it's typing being rock/steel) and the saber-tooth line is like a barbarian (covered in bone armor and stripes that resemble war-paint, just overall looking very savage; maybe its typing is rock/dark or rock/ice, the ice referencing like barbarians or invaders from the north), an older example of past versus future. Also, we don't really have Pokémon based on either mammoths or saber-tooth cats. We have ones loosely based on them or features of them like Mamoswine, we have ones based on elephants, tigers, lions, big cats, etc., but nothing directly based on either a mammoth or a saber-tooth cat, and also there's nothing that says we can't have multiple Pokémon based on the same creature.

[@thehman2271]

I do think it’s cool that they both refrerence the past and future of weapons, fitting the whole theme of Scarlet and Violet

[@amaterasu1145]

I loved the anky and orth in this, this was so well put and I hope these are the Pokemon we get

[@forgerofsouls9126]

I could see Kyarrbon being a rock/fire type with the Steelworker ability so that it's large list of steel type moves are just that more effective. I could see it also having Bulletproof and Shell Armor.

[@KOkami03]

I had an interesting idea regarding pre-evolutions for these two is this: Both Kyarrbon and Ornamean's pre-evolutions would be pure Rock-Type... but did learn Fire and Steel attacks respectively before evolving. That could be a metaphor for how weapon technologies need to be studied and refined.

[@jacobjogagu4571]

The spanish word is actually Arcabuz, which should be easier for you to pronounce I think (just remember that the "u" in "buz" is pronounced as "oo" like foot, food or hood)

[@im-yas]

I have a quite complex idea for Kyarrbon It's a *Rock/Steel* type with high attack and really physical defensive, pretty simple right? But i have something to make this interesting... Its signature move *Barrel Blast* is a really strong Physical Attack, but it has some kind of cooldown which makes it can only be used 4 turns after it's used It's ability is called Exploded Armor, the effect is "When Kyarrbon use its signature *Barrel Blast* its type changed to *Rock/Fire* and Swapping its High Attack stats with its Special Attack and It's Defense with Special Defense and when the Cooldown of *Barrel Blast* is over its change its typing to Rock/Steel and swapped the Special attack to its Attack and Special defense to its Defense" Why its happening? Well what I had in mind is.. When Kyarrbon use Barrel Blast, its broke his armor and the barrel like tail which is why its loses the Steel type and makes its attack and defense low. But while it's happening, the fire inside it Burns up and makes new armor made of heat and his Rifle like tail is ready to shot some hot flames to its opponent, which is why its Special defense and Special attack are raising, replacing its very high Defense and Attack... But after 4 turns its armor came back(idk why its happening, but i think it's balancing Kyarrbon, no?) And makes Kyarrbon gaining back its steel type and get rid of its fire type

[@Toto-sw2su]

THIS, this is a very good idea for Kyarrbon

[@DamianSiIvers]

I love Vergo’s art, great choice for an artist

[@treyrodriguez9519]

Fantastic designs and ideas

[@hcollins9941]

The thing about Pelecaimimus (Pel-Leh-Kan-ih-My-mus) is that its teeth & beak we’re not thought to rip out the guts of its prey, but for snatching fish along rivers & lakes like a crane or heron. Especially since part of its fossil discovery is the presence of a soft tissue throat pouch, like a modern day pelican.
