Fakemon – Sickle Fossil

As for the Official Generations of Pokémon, I imagined Pokémon obtained from fossils found during the player's adventure.
This Fossil Pokemon is acquired by reviving it from the “Sickle Fossil” (item that can be found by digging in a certain area)
These Pokémon are inspired by Dromaeosauridae, and especially Velociraptor mongoliensis! This small carnivorous theropod dinosaur, often confused with its larger cousins (partly because of the movies).
Like the real Velociraptor, these Pokémon are very feathery and look like birds.
In the first form, its arms are rickety and look more like atrophied wings than raptor arms. This design is there to accentuate the fact that this Pokémon mainly uses its feet. Something that is also respected in evolution, which keeps its arms folded, in order to use it as a pendulum.
Evolution also has a neck and bare head (absence of feathers) to refer to vultures (the reason comes from a personal theory about Velociraptor mongoliensis)
The Combat type is most visible with the evolution that wears a kimono. The rest of the concept is in the reference with Taekwondo. Since raptors are known for their retractable claws and the fact that we imagine them being kicked, I thought it logical to associate them with one of the martial arts that uses a lot of kicking.
The Shiny looks pretty amazing, but refers to an atypical species of vulture: the Egyptian Vulture, or Egyptian Vulture (which is a bright yellow-faced vulture, with white feathers, except on the black flight feathers of the wings).
