20 Pokemon based on real life plants and animals

8. Kabuto

They resemble the giant isopod and the woodlouse. Apparently they are a very long distant cousin to each other. Their bodies are protected by a rigid exoskeleton composed of overlapping segments that they can curl up into a ball as a defense mechanism. Or you could say they look more like a Horseshoe crab. Which one do you think it resembles more closely?

7. Luvdisc

Another cute fish and this one looks like a heart of all shapes. It is based of the kissing gourami. The Gourami has lips in that looks like its ready for a kiss all the time. You might be tempted to kiss it but you might not like it as the lips are lined with horny teeth.

6. Sandshrew

In my point of view it looks like an alien dinosaur but its real life counterpart is definitely a Pangolin. With its shiny, hard armor made of keratin that could also be found in human fingernails and hair, just like an armadillo, it can curl up into a ball when threatened and would then emit a noxious-smelling acid just like a skunk.

5. Magikarp

They look a lot like the yelloweye rockfish. The rockfish have been declared over fished because of their prized meat and it could grow to a maximum length of 36 inches. But the whiskers on the magikarp are most definitely from the Koi fish as its Japanese name is KoiKing.
