Season 2 of my Realistic Pokemon series begins with Flygon.
Flygon are a large, desert dwelling dragon. Though of a similar length and habitat to adult male Garchomps, Garchomps have much more mass and are much more aggressive. Adult Flygon are seldom seen setting foot on the ground, due to their natural proclivity towards levitation. Science has not yet discovered the nuances of their helium bladder, though it is known that Flygon's helium bladders are much more efficient than their juvenile state, Vibrava. Flygon skim the desert surface of the desert, diving into the loose sands for prey. They are adept sand swimmers, though they only utilize this skill to collect meals. Flygon have developed a transparent membrane over their sensitive eyes, it acts as a hardy shield from the course sands of its environment.
Trapinch are the earliest stage in the life cycle of a Flygon. They possess a grossly enlarged head which is used as a makeshift sand trap. A Trapinch will burrow into the sands creating a pit of loose sand. It will then reveal only its head while it grips deep roots. Anything Pokemon unlucky enough to stumble upon its pit are swallowed into the maw of the Trapinch. They have even developed clever false eye camouflage to hide the location of their real eye, a trapped Pokemon may try to attack its eyes to break free.
A Trapinch will spend a minimum of 35 months buried in the sand before it has grown large enough wings and a helium bladder to hunt with its trap. This stage of life is known as a Vibrava. Vibrava will develop two large nasal crests, which eventually recede and reappear on the back of the cranium as Flygon. Vibrava its not capable of suspended flight like Flygon, but its smaller wings can be moved with great speed causing vibrations. They will use these vibration to disorient small desert dwelling Pokemon such as idiot Cacneas. This is the noise a Cacnea will make as it desperately fights for its meaningless life.
There are also some other little desert Pokemon in there, but who cares about those ones.

In the near future, certain insect species will evolve into a living sentient dragon you can make friends with and ride on his/her back. These are the adventures of Flygon, a Pokemon who evolved from two kinds of desert insects, his/her first stage, a cute ant like thing with a sharp jaw mouth.

I am not an artist. I knew of this site before and checked it out a bit. I never created an account because I don't have any artwork to post. Not really my thing. I doodle here and there, but that's about it. After seeing your rendition Flygon, which just so happens to be one of my favourites, I had to create an account just to be able to follow you and see any new designs you come up with for realistic Pokemon. I like how you try to compare and rationalize them to real life stuff even though we all know that somethings like these couldn't possibly exist. My friend, keep up the good work. You have amazing skill and it shows I love all of these realistic Pokemon. Gorgeous designs. I would hug and cuddle my Flygon if it looked like this. I would do it anyways, but I would be immensely proud to have one of these beautiful animals on my team. If it's possible, a request. Toxicroak. I know not a lot of people like him, but he is my all time favourite. I love the guy. If not, I understand. Either ways, I will be happy to see whatever new designs you come out with. Thank you.Β

No! Heliolisk! His photosynthetic abilities needs scientific commentary! Especially since you made this half a year before XY came out! Oh wait, that's a Scraggy. Never mind.

What an adorable little bugger! I've always liked reptillian Flygon better than insectoid ones, and you pulled that off exceptionally well here.

DoctorDarwin [2015-12-17 23:51:23 +0000 UTC]
If all these animals (or pokemon) reside on the deserts, I assume that Scraggy's extra skin is used as protection of the sun.

DoctorDarwin [2015-12-17 23:45:15 +0000 UTC]
This a theory of mine: Since these pokemon are from the desert, Scraggy's extra skin is used for protection from the scorching sun.

Oh, wow. A Jackson's Chameleon Vibrava. That's cool, but it's kinda...stretching it. Vibrava is kinda obviously an adult antlion. And the Trapinch goes pretty far, too. The Flygon is believable, though. It does become a little reptilian.

If I was going to make flygon reptilian then I had to make its pre evolutions also reptilian.

U failed Trapinch. Trapinch is not a lizard, it is a kind of cocoon egg . when it evolves a desert dragon fly nymph(vibrava) breaks out of it. after a time the nymph grows into the imago (flygon)Β Β Β

sackywack2141 In reply to THELexl [2015-11-02 08:03:19 +0000 UTC]
It has eyes and a mouth and it walks on four legs so how can it be a cocoon or an egg?

Trapinch has never looked like a cocoon or an egg.Β You are completely incorrect.Β

I love that you portrayed Flygon as a reptile. I always saw him as a reptile, just with very dragonfly-like characteristics (as the evolutionary family is based off of the ant lion irl).Β I also find it interesting that you made Trapinch look like a bearded dragon (lol it's eating a Sewaddle).
Also dat Cacnea squeak.
