Made Fakemon based on Ogerpons masks! 🎭
Naga + Gya gya (Japanese Onomatopoeia for crying)
Species: Snake Charmer Pokémon
The Pokémon breaks off its fangs and shoots them at the opponent. This move hits two times and has a chance of lowering the opponents special defence by one stage with each hit. In double battles it both targets once.
Dex entry: Claiming hotsprings and ponds as its territory, this pokémon lures in prey by offering free baths in its waters and putting on a shy front. With quick regrowable fangs, it will purposefully break them off and use them as blow darts when things don't go as planned.
Arachnid + Ira Ira (Japanese Onomatopoeia for frustration)
Species: Vamp Spider Pokémon
Signature move: Searing strings (Fire)
The Pokémon spews a string of golden silk at the opponent, lowering their attack stat. If hit by a fire type attack later on, the strings will be set ablaze, causing the opponent to inflict damage for four to five turns.
Dex entry: Arakira prides itself on creating alluring melodies with its golden colored silk. It plays these melodies to everyone, gaining trinkets and admiration in return. On the other hand, it holds a grudge towards those who criticize or disrupt it’s performances, and if given the opportunity would envelop them in its silk to burn them alive and suck out their life force.
Kitsune + Kusu kusu (Japanese Onomatopoeia for laughing)
Species: Stone Fox Pokémon
Signature move: Flintail fan (Rock)
The Pokémon uses its broad, fan-like tail to protect itself from incoming attacks whilst raising its defense stat. When in contact with a physical move the opponent has a small chance of fainting instantly.
Dex entry: Kitsukusu is cunning and has an air of confidence around it, allowing Kitsukusu to take advantage of both people and Pokémon whilst keeping them at bay. Those who try to fight against it will be met with a cold, hard swing from its tail.
Other tidbits to know about them:
Each of them is based on a yokai with the femme fatale trope.
Kitsukusu > Kitsune (Specifically Tamamo no Mae)
Kitsukusus teeth are black to reference teeth blackening. It was a status symbol back then.
Kitsukusu is called the "Stone Fox Pokémon" not just for literally being a stone fox. Stone fox is also a slang word used to describe people who are very sexy.
No, Nagya is not sticking out its tougue. Thats just a marking mimicking lipstick.
Arakira speicies name refers to the vampire spider and the term "Vamp". Vamp is another word used to describe femme fatales, and vampire spiders are like...real. Look it up, they eat mosquitos and have a red face.
Their lore is that their set on taking advantage of Onbuupons (the pre-evolved form of Ogerpons) terastal potential but Pecharonin (Evolved form of Pecharunt) is keeping them away from it like a parent keeping their child away from their weird-ass aunties.
Despite their feminine appearace, their actually genderless. At the same time, all three are able to use attract and infatuate both genders. This contrasts with the loyal three, being an all male legendary trio.
