mareep (sheep) -> ampharos (some sort of dragon? definitely not sheep)
karrablast (hercules beetle?) -> escavalier (I've given up on figuring this one out a long time ago)
S'more spiders would be great, too. Jumping spiders, Wolf spiders. Lots of possibilities for more arachnids! There's only two evolution lines of spiders. What the hell?
THIS SO MUCH. I personally love spiders, and there is lots of potential for Spider-based Pokemon.
Maybe we could get Bug/Fire and Bug/Ice spiders to form a psuedo-trio with Galvantula, with them all sharing the Bug typing and having Fire/Ice/Electric secondary typings.
The Ice spider could be based on a funnel web spider, with high speed and high attack (even tho if it had Compoundeyes it would mean Compoundeyes Blizzard).
The Fire spider could be based on a black widow spider (with the red spot on its back stylised into a flame). I'd imagine it would have high speed, with balanced attack stats.
More spider possibilities:
-Bug/Poison jumping spider. Unoriginal typing I know, but I can see its dex entries: "This Pokemon waits until it sees prey sitting near to it. It jumps onto the prey, and injects venom into the target.
-Bug/Psychic spider, it would have some kind of highly intellegent method of catching prey and is always adapting.
-Bug/Water diving bell spider
-Some kind of spider line where the female form is much bigger than the male, mirroring that in real life female spiders are generally larger than the males.
-Bug/Ground desert dwelling spider or a trapdoor spider.
-Bug/Grass crab spider (or whatever it is) that changes its color depending what plant its on. It could have a gimmick ala Burmy, in that if you take it to different areas it will change its color and some minor physical details will change as well.
-This is my personal favourite. It would be a 3 stage psuedo legendary line. The first stage would be a plain Bug type spider with badass markings. The second stage would be a Bug/Dark bigger but have new physical features (thing Dratini-Dragonair). But the third would be a Bug/Dark huge spider, which looks pure evil. (think things like Shelob and Aragog from Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter respectively). I can see where you'd encounter them. (actually, theres 2 places I can think of).
- In a huge cave where you encounter the 1st and second stages in the wild. However occasionally you'd get a glimpse of something much bigger lurking in the shadows. Eventually the final stage would come out to battle you.
- At the end of a huge forest maze you find yourself in a large hollow. A load of the 1st two evolution stages flee from a huge spider which proceeds to battle you.
I imagine this line would have high speed with strong mixed attacking stats.
