It's Today is Squirtle! 🐢💧

The OG water type starter! The smooth rounded shell looks like a Yellow Mud Turtle, but the sharp part of the mouth is more similar to an Common Snapping Turtle. Absolutely love Squirtle! :D

It's Today is Golduck!

It looks like a combo of a duck & kappa, a humanoid Japanese river monster in folklore with webbed hands & feet. Given the beak shape I think it looks like its combined with a diving duck, a merganser! Cool combo!

It's Today is Kingler! 🦀

The body spines are similar to Red Spiny Crabs & claw sizes are like Fiddler Crabs! As you may have guessed, male fiddler crabs' big claws are for sexiness & little one is for eating. Kingler however is not sexually dimorphic!

It's Today is Krabby!

To me it looks similar to a small intertidal crab, the Lined Shore Crab (Pachygrapsus crassipes)! Lined shore crabs also stick up their claws in the air just like Krabby when threatened!

It's Today is Mega Sharpedo, a Sawfish!

The teeth on the side of the nose, or rostrum, are the giveaway! Sawfish use these to stun prey then consume them! The mouth looks more similar to a great white. Cool to see a niche shark represented!

Welcome to taking Pokemon & looking at their accuracy to their IRL counterparts!

Mantyke is a baby manta ray & has 2 cephalofoils on its head! Manta rays have back patterns IRL (not smileys but curved!) Adorable!
