Botefin [Water] Species: Boat Pokemon Length: 1.4 m (4′07′’) Weight: 39.5 kg (87.1 lbs) Ability: Competitive Hidden Ability: Rain Dish

Botefin stats HP- 40 ATK- 50 DEF- 100 SP ATK- 30 SP DEF- 40 SPD- 70 Total: 330

Botefin dex entry They are rather playful and spend most of their carefree days chasing one another. Though, if they’re not careful or cautious enough they do end up becoming prey to much larger and fiercer Pokemon- but most of the time they can merely jet themselves away. Some smaller Pokemon have been seen resting on Botefin’s back or allowing Botefin to carry it somewhere.

Borca [Water] Species: Ship Pokemon Length: 3.5 m (11’06’’) Weight: 120.0 kg (264.6 lbs) Ability: Competitive Hidden Ability: Rain Dish

Borca stats HP- 90 ATK- 60 DEF- 140 SP ATK- 50 SP DEF- 40 SPD- 50 Total: 430

Borca dex entry Borca are more reckless and bold now that they’ve evolved, as they can defend themselves properly. At this stage they essentially have little to no predators, and should any Pokemon be foolish enough to attack them, they will make them regret it. They have lights on their bodies so they can easily see their surroundings at night, to prevent them from crashing into large ice flows, but most of them are too confident and will probably just charge right for the ice flow to see if they can break it.

Titanalot [Water/Ghost] Species: Titan Pokemon Length: 7.0 m (23’00’’) Weight: 360.0 kg (793.7 lbs) Ability: Cursed Body Hidden Ability: Rain Dish

Titanalot stats HP- 110 ATK- 60 DEF- 180 SP ATK- 70 SP DEF- 60 SPD- 50 Total: 530

Titanalot dex entry As opposed to their respectively bubbly and cocky pre-evolutions, Titanalot are much calmer and swim through the deep depths at a slow pace. At night they surface, and their eerie lights plus haunting song sends chills up most people’s spines. Local folklore states the smoke plumes coming from Titanalot are the souls of people who have drowned to death in the merciless, black waters of the ocean, and its song is to mourn the lost souls.

Shea, no. No no no no NO you did not-

Oh, I did.

I made a Fakemon based on the Titanic.

Hey, if Herman Melville is allowed to publish a book heavily based on the Essex Incident while there were still survivors from it alive, and if three animated Titanic movies exist, two of them completely disrespecting the actual events and the lives lost by having a puppy-faced octopus save everyone, then I can make a Fakemon based on the Titanic.

Also I initially wanted to add a kinda skull motif for Titanalot, but.... it just didn’t work. Plus I mean cachalot skulls are kinda weird and funky and- nothing I did felt right. So I decided to just go with the design I had now instead of trying to complicate it more.

Another thing- Botefin evolves through leveling up, but Borca evolves through leveling up.... in hail.

Yes, I went there.

Boatefin is based on a typical small motor boat, and its name comes from the Spanish (yes I know I said I wouldn’t do Spanish again but this time I had to) word, ‘bote’, and ‘dolphin’. I tried to combine those with ‘boto’, the word for Amazonian river dolphins, but I couldn’t find a way to make it work.

Borca is based on a cabin cruiser. Its name derives mostly from ‘orca’ and the Spanish word, ‘barco’, which specifically refers to larger boats as opposed to bote. And I just kinda rearranged the letters around.

Titanalot is a combination of ‘Titanic’ and ‘cachalot’, because NO, I am not going to use the other name for cachalots. You cannot make me.

Now, again, I know I haven’t made shinies for any of my Fakemons, BUT I have very specific ideas for shiny forms for Botefin and Titanalot. Botefin is a light pink, to reference pink Amazonian river dolphins and also allude to the ‘boto’ bit more. Titanalot, meanwhile, shall be albino. To reference Moby Dick.
