A tradition among FakemonMakers is to imagine our own Eevee evolutions! A complicated but satisfying exercise when you arrive at a result close to the official Eeveelutions.
This evolution of Eevee is of the POISON type: Venomeon
Its design is inspired by several reptiles, snakes and lizards... in particular the Chlamydosaurus kingii, which is not venomous but which inspired the Dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park.
I also thought of it as an evolution of Eevee that seems more physically aggressive than the others. Using very powerful venoms and toxins to attack and hunt…
There is a hidden reference in the item used to evolve Eevee: the Serum Stone. Apart from its name, this stone is strongly inspired by the Aja Stone from Jojo Bizarre Adventure (part 2).
Ingame, the “Serum Stone” item is found in the same sandy area as Saltiny and Kravmarak.
