Description More Fakemon I didn’t have room for in the Eyrenak region, but might use at a future date.

-Solenotox (Solenodon + Toxin) - The Venom Mouse Fakémon. Normal//Poison Type. Abilities: Pick Up//Run Away//HA: Stench
-Dex Entry 1: One of the few mammalian Fakémon to produce venom, they inject toxins into predators through their large fang and feet spurs. They are skittish however, and only attack as a last resort.
-Dex Entry 2: Skittish and timid, they are rarely seen during the day, coming out at night when less predators lurk. If threatened, they can inject venom into a would-be attacker through the sharp spurs on their feet.
>>Based on: Solenodons (bit.ly/2NdeiKD ).

-Evolves at lvl. 20 into...

-Toxsum (Toxin + Possum) - The Play Dead Fakémon. Normal//Poison Type. Abilities: Pick Up//Play Dead*//HA: Stench.
-Dex Entry 1: They are rather pungent Fakémon and, combined with their excellent ability to play dead, dissuade would-be predators with ease, who often confuse them for rotting meat.
-Dex Entry 2: They are considered pests by many, often found rummaging through refuse bins for an easy meal. The spurs jutting from their body contain a powerful venom that can cause fevers and dizziness for days.
>>Based on: Possums <3 (bit.ly/2LcoWUu ).


*Play Dead: When the user faints, it is automatically revived with 1HP remaining, cured of all status ailments.

[obviously this is a very powerful, potentially OP ability, but I feel it can be justified by the general trend of early-game rodents having woeful stat spreads, and this makes them more viable competitively]

I feel like the way you've handled the ability it wouldn't be too OP, even if it were to be given to other Pokemon as well. As long as it works only once per battle like Disguise I think it'll be just fine. These are adorable incidentally, I would love to see more cute mammalian Poison types. Have you considered an African crested rat?

African created rat? Never heard of them! Are they venomous??

Oh, it's even more interesting than just that. They actually will actively cover their manes in poisons from toxic bark. They chew on it to turn it into a sort of paste that they smear themselves with but they themselves are unharmed by it. But of course, it's lethal to predators.

There are so many unusual ways that mammals utilize toxins, it's strange that there aren't more varied Poison type Fakemon based on those for the most part!

Thank you! I think I might change the prevo’s colour scheme at some point so it’s more in line with the evolution, but glad you like ‘em !

sometimes I like when the two have a different body color, like rattatta and raticate or medicham and meditite sometimes big color changes work. Idk which I would like more for this, but just don't forget they don't HAVE to be the same color scheme

I like the idea of playing on a possum playing dead! I think Toxsum could benefit from the spikes/barbs being on its tail rather than its chest fur. It looks like you start with a small barb on Solenotox' tail but then it disappears as it evolves. I feel like if its whole theme is being venomous and you've designed the tail to be long and emphasized it should also carry the venom theme in that case.

Ahhh that is my bad - they’re not actual barbs on its tail, just it’s bristly hair. If you look at Solenodons their fur looks really coarse and rough, so I was trying to get that across in the design is all

Thanks! Im surprised more solenodon fakes aren’t out there, but I guess they’re not too widely known as far as animals go - I find it fascinating that they have venom! And it just seemed to make sense to me that a venomous mammal would evolve into a mammal many (unfairly) consider to be disease-ridden pests and associate with roadkill haha.
