Pokémon/Game Mechanic Concepts

Usage-Related Concepts

Basic stage that has identical base stats to its evolution, so it's just ability/movepool that sets them apart

Basic stage with good stats that evolves into a smaller, statistically weaker pokémon but that has something else going for it (a little along the lines of nincada/shedinja)

Better users of plus and minus, and I don't just mean plusle and minun evos I mean good

Gimmick Pokémon whose ability gives it a random ability out of all abilities aside from its own

"Glitch" Pokémon that changes into a random Pokémon each time it battles

Legendary that has an ability similar to Forecast (and possibly that reacts to more than just sun/rain/hail); possibly an inspiration for Castform?

Legendary (man-made?) that learns the signature moves of many other legendaries without events

Legendaries with 255 in a single base stat; other stats are on par with lower-tier legends most likely (the ultimate physical attacker, etc.)

Legendary with ability that nullifies all other abilities as long as it is in play

Legendary with Trace?

"Merlin" Pokémon that evolves backward, levels up backward...?

A trio of legendaries/pseudolegends using the starter types (grass, fire, water)

Brains vs. brawn—psychic and fighting counterparts. or maybe a split-evo line that's psychic/steel and fighting/steel, each holding giant spoons, based on bending a spoon with your mind vs. just physically bending it?

Completely silent Pokémon—probably has soundproof, doesn't learn any sound-based moves

Contest stat legendaries

Electric-type covered in neon tubing

Fire/ice (or something, maybe poison?) unstable fluctuating temperature Pokémon (name based on temperature scales?)

Kaiju-like legendary (as in, no special space-time powers, it exists solely to be Godzilla)

"Legendary mimic" that imitates legendaries (how?) even though it isn't one itself, or something that wants to become a legendary the way that bagon wants to fly; give it an actual legendary "relative" sort of like carbink/diancie?

One pokemon of each type based on the average overall stats of that type; see Bulbapedia's type articles

Pokémon that evolves into one thing at one level but evolves into something else (presumably stronger) at a later level if you hold off

Pseudo-legend with average stats listed on pseudo-legend Bulbapedia page (round where necessary to get 600)

Psychic/fighting-type (or dark/fighting?) based on “telegraphing punches”… except instead of actually telegraphing its punches, it only looks like it’s about to hit a certain way, thus setting the opponent up to deal with that hit when in reality they’re coming in from a different angle entirely

Roaming legendaries found via means other than grass/surfing: fishing, caves, shaking grass, appearing in the overworld, etc.

Something to do with larger "type polygons": for example, an eeveelution-like group or other set of seven things that are Steel/Rock/Flying/Bug/Grass/Water/Fire

Substitute doll Pokémon

Version-exclusive evolutions for the same Pokémon (possibly along the lines of Deoxys's original forme change method, though as with Deoxys you'd need to think of a way to account for third versions and later gens)

Name-Related Concepts

Note: some of these ideas are actual puns/portmaneaus that happened to hit me before a proper concept did, some are existing objects/creatures/concepts with interesting names, and the rest are literally nonsense words that might still be able to inspire some ideas.
