Description Name: Rookoko (Rook + Coconut)
Type: Grass/Electric
Species: Palm Sapling Pokémon
Ability: Battery/ Illuminate/ (Hidden: Lightning Rod)


Height: 1,60m (5'24")
Weight: 67 kg (147,7 lbs)

Entry: 

During the day, it opens its leaves wide under the sun to gather as much sunlight as possible, which it then converts into electricity, its main power source, and during the night, it plugs itself into the ground to rest. Its face can light up like a lantern, and it seems to communicate with others of its species by flashing it in a pattern similar to morse code. Long ago, sailors knew how to recognize their lights from far away at sea to guide themselves.

Potential Moveset:
Thunder Shock
Giga Drain
Harden
Leech Seed

Based on a lightbulb, and on the imperial palm , or at least it's evolution is, for now it's just a palm tree sapling.

I had plans for a new palm tree fakemon ever since I started the Tupama dex, with the intend on basing it on the imperial palm... Buuuuut then Sun and Moon revealed to us the glory of Alolan Exeggutor.  
Since I was late to the party, and obvious comparisons were going to be made, I considered on discarding the design in favor of simply putting Alolan Exeggutor in the Tupama dex, but since we're still unsure of what's going to happen to the regional forms when Gen 8 comes around, I decided to not risk it by putting it in, and I still wanted to try my hands at creating a new one, so I went back to the drawing board to try to create a unique concept for a palm tree pokemon. I may just be posting it now, put this evo line is actually one of the oldest ideas I had in mind for the region. I'm actually quite fond of it, especially of its evolution for some reason. No, it doesn't evolve into a a street light... But maybe something along those lines instead?

Well, I guess that's it for now. Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I'm really not that motivated to do much of anything lately, I pretty much had to force myself to draw to post this, I'm prefering to focus on some commissions I still have to finish, and to top it all off, college has just started again... Oh boy.
I already have its evolution done on paper, along with some other fakemons, it's just a matter of digitizing all of them. I'll try to draw something for a myth post as well, I'm getting quite bothered with the infrequency of those these days... And to think those were almost weekly a long time ago.

Well, hope you all liked it, and see you guys next time!

Posso inspirar-me para o meu Fakemon com uma origem similar?

I like how it looks like a chess rook! Very creative! :-D

Discarding designs because of Game Freak's new releases is kind of stupid. Some of us would like to see what you got in store, so don't feel discouraged to post them.

Thanks! Glad you liked it! It was the smallest kind of "tower" I could think of, plus the pun came out quite naturally, so it really fit like a glove!  
I know it is, I keep telling myself that, and other people have told me that as well... But at the time it really bothered me, the new pokemon were on everyone's minds, and I didn't want people making some obvious comparisons or, who knows, accusing me of not being very creative with the concepts. w @
I guess now that quite some time has passed it doesn't bother me as much anymore... Most of those discarted ideas have already been rejected in favor of new and better ones in my opinion though, but I'll reconsider putting some of those guys back in if I see it appropriate... Maybe it's time for my toucan fakemon to return? Maybe not? Who knows?

Lemme guess... palm tree street light? You could always retcon it that it's closely related to Exeggutor to explain away if it looks too similar.

Not a street light, but something along those lines... Think of something a bit more seaside themed. ;D
I don't think it looks THAT similar to it, at least not anymore... It's just that since both are extremely long palm trees, some comparisons are going to be made, especially since alolan exeggutor was so famous and it's so recent in everybody's mind, and I wasn't too comfortable with that. But yeah, if I can't fight it, I could always lampshade it.

Yeah. I have a design for a Fakemon that does look kinda similar to Klefki, so I retconned it to be in the same taxonomic family as Klefki.

While making Fakemon for my region, I never try to connect them to official Pokémon. I like to keep my designs in my own world. Also, what are you talking about? It doesn't look like exeggutor. So, every Fakemon based on a dog looks like Growlithe or Rockruff?

It's a nice way of circumventing the issue!

Cool! I love how it looks just like a lightbulb!

And all hail Alolan Exeggutor, aka Best Alola Form Ever.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
I tried to make the shiny a bit cooler this time.
