PARADORN & PARADORNMENT (Water/Poison)
They are convergent evolutions of PARAS & PARASECT based on Decorator Crabs, more specifically the Corallimorph Decorator Crab
By covering their bodies with poisonous sea life they absorb their toxins into themselves, becoming venomous as well, hence their "poison" typing

Decorator Crabs, some snazzy little dudes!
Animal of the Day: Decorator crabs!
Decorator crabs use materials from their environment to hide from or ward off predators! These crabs come from many different genera and can be found all over the world.
They decorate themselves using plants and even other animals (e.g. sponges, anemones) as camouflage, or as a defence mechanism if those organisms are poisonous/venomous. This can be a mutually beneficial relationship, as the crab gets protection from predators and the animals on its shell can feed on the remains of the crab's prey.
Like many crabs, decorator crabs moult and shed their shells as they grow. They often recycle decorations from their old shell and move them to their new one!

WRECKAHOY-The shipwreck pokemon(Water/Rock)
This gigantic crab coats its shell in various rocks, algae and corals in a formation that resembles a pirate's ship. It's said it does this to imitate the sunken battle ships that surround its natural habitat. It will take on anything with its pirate daring
I used @psyknight72's idea of a Decorator crab on Twitter. Anyways if you'd like give me a suggestion for Normal type!

Day 5 of Mermay is Symbiotic. For this one, I wanted to highlight the Decorator Crab. The decorator crab uses coral and sponges as camouflage. The sponge gets to grow on its body in return.
