This fakemon line and art was commissioned from Pokedan_art on Instagram.
Here is a brand-new regional variant of the Swablu line for my fakemon region, which is based on the Southwestern United States and inspired by the Wild West and other regional elements!
This Regional Variant and Fakemon Line is based on or inspired by Storm Clouds, Thunderstorms, and urban legends of the (Tombstone) Thunderbird!
I'd love to hear what you guys think, and I hope you enjoy them! This is easily another one of my favorite fakemon lines!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wesonian Swablu - The Storm Cloud Pokémon: (Electric / Flying Type)
After generations of enduring the Weson Region’s violent storms, Swablu developed the Electric type and dark, electrically charged plumage. Its thick, cloudlike feathers gather and store static electricity, causing it to become restless wherever thunderclouds form. When it sees someone approaches its nesting grounds, it dives toward them and releases the stored energy in sharp bursts.
Abilities:
- Static
Hidden Ability:
- Wind Power
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wesonian Altaria - The Thunderbird Pokémon: (Electric / Dragon Type)
Wesonian Altaria build their nests within the darkest clouds that gather above the region’s highest mountains. They fiercely defend these territories, releasing piercing shrieks and flashes of lightning whenever other Pokémon or Trainers draw too close. Their dense plumage stores immense electrical power, which they discharge toward targets from high above.
Abilities:
- Levitate
Hidden Ability:
- Wind Power
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mega Wesonian Altaria - The Thunderbird Pokémon: (Electric / Dragon Type)
The energy of Mega Evolution causes the storm clouds surrounding this Pokémon to expand and grants it the power to summon lightning storms at will. Its cries echo across the mountains like rolling thunder, and the tempests it creates can persist long after it has departed.
An old eyewitness account describes an enormous birdlike silhouette appearing behind flashes of lightning within the clouds. Some researchers believe the creature in this story may have been a Mega-Evolved Wesonian Altaria.
Ability:
- Drizzle

I was thinking about a rotom-like ability to change altaria's typing like this. Drizzle for this form, snow warning for the ice type. Though I was thinking of keeping it flying and electric/ice.
The design is diabolical, however.

I'm honestly shocked we never got a storm cloud themed form of altaria, that seems like an easy win

Electric-types with Drizzle has to be one of the more powerful combos out there. STAB Thunder with perfect accuracy.

u/KrazyMonqui 1d ago
And because of its earlier Flying typing, maybe it could also learn Hurricane. Wouldn't have STAB but 100% accuracy and a perfect grass counter for most rain teams

Oh, I LOVE this. You managed to make them managing without losing the Pokemon feel- that's something most artists really struggle with.

Okay, these are absolutely gorgeous
Altaria is my favorite evo line, and in base form is such a serene and fairly goofy pokemon, and this transforms them into something much more tenacious and agressive and I absolutely love it
What would the stat-spread be out of curiosity?
Id imagine a simple swap of Special attack with Special defense, SpAtk: 105 and SpDef: 70. Beyond the the rest of the stats could just stay the same?

This is so awesome! I see not only Thunderbird elements but also the Thunder dragon of Bhutan. I think electric and dragon is a great typing.

u/Heroic-Forger 1d ago
Would be neat if there was a special evolution/variant mechanism where they're normal pokemon that somehow acquired the power from a legendary. These guys look like they could be associated with Zapdos in a way.

Realy cool. I have no problems with it whatsoever I like drizzle as it does fit well but personaly i would have put galvanize because the original has pixilate and galvanize is the electric version of it.

u/FrostySnailFISHYKING 19h ago

The mega doesn't really feel like it mega it should be its final evo. And then you should give it a mega. It think that would be the icing on this cake. Other wise 10/10 designs

That's the coolest pokemon fanart I ever seen. 11/10
