Kabutops
Electrode: One of the interesting Pokemon to encounter in the Kanto region is Electrode. They don’t have a genus, class, or family, as they were manufactured. Despite its artificial nature, they are their own species. They have a large brain that is made out of metal. They don’t actually mate, they actually summon DNAs of Voltorbs, by summoning 3 male Voltorbs and 2 female Voltorbs into existence. As time passes, they slowly grow into adult Electrodes, they robotic face slowly moves down to the middle of the Voltorb’s face, and their metal shell slowly grows bigger, and starts to get slightly thinner but tougher, the metal brain slowly grows bigger, until it has turned into an adult Electrode, and then repeats the cycle again. When threatened, the Electrode will zap the provoker until the provoker dies.
Toedscruel: Also known as the "common land squid", Toedscruel are close relatives of Tentacruel, and are both in the genus Tentascruelidae, with two families that make up the genus. The families' names are Toedscruelidae and Tentacruelius. They evolved to become semi-aquatic creatures, keeping traits similar to ants. As youngsters called “Toedscool”, they run very fast to about the speed of Tentacool, but due to it living on land, it can run even faster than its underwater cousin. After it had fully grown into an adult Toadscruel, the adult can’t run fast, but can rather bounce around, climb trees, eating on decaying trees that were destroyed by aphids and psyllid larvae, and swimming through lakes. When threatened, it coveres itself only exposing its extremely tough shell, as a way to defend against predators.
Omastar: An intelligent order of ammonites called Omastara, and is the only living order of the subclass Ammonoidea, with about 5,000 species. They have existed since prehistoric times and are still alive today, but due to them living since prehistoric times, they are called “living fossils”. When threatened, the Omastar will hide in its tough shell, as a way to defend against predators. As Omanyte, they have an insatiable hunger for literal Magikarp, and after it has fully finished growing into a young adult, the adult called an “Omastar” now become predators, feeding on Cloyster, Sharpedo and other marine creatures. They don’t feed on Cloyster and Kabuto as their shell are so tough that the Omastar can’t break its shell.
Kabutops: They make up the family Kabutopsidae, and the only living family of Radiodonta. They are semi-aquatic creatures, living nearby freshwater swamps. Despite their scary look, Kabutops are fully herbivorous, feeding on plants. As youngsters, the nymphs called “Kabuto” live in the sea, feeding on seaweed. After they have fully finished feeding on seaweed, they slowly start to grow into adults, the adults called “Kabutops”, moving out of the swamp and feed on leaves and fruits.
Durant: despite its name, they aren’t technically ants, but instead, they are termites in the family Durantidae. They are by far the most common termite species as of now. They are solitary and are fully herbivorous. They are also are the only known parasitoid termite species (that we know of). They constantly inject about 6 eggs into insects such as Magnemite, Yanmega, and Beedril. After the eggs hatch, the larvae eat the hosts insides. After they have finished, they have hardened into a pupa. After 5 hours, the fully grown adult Durant emerge repeat the cycle again. When threatened, they inject their eggs into a curious human or a hungry Heracross about 6 times, showing why there is so many Durant alive today.
Forretress: A common beetle in the family Forretressidae. As youngsters, the larvae called “Pineco”, seem to feed on fruits, and sometimes hang on trees with lines of silk (being the strongest silk of any arthropods), complete with its big eyes to confuse predators, and after they have gone in their final molt, they harden into pupae. The pupae is tough as a 5 story building, making predators to get injured badly after hitting it. After about 6 weeks, the fully grown Forretress emerges. When threatened, it will curl up into a ball, rolling towards the provoker and running the provoker over.
“These Pokemon were thought to be extinct until a few of them were discovered living in freshwater swamps, and soon millions of them were found.”

Trilobe: Trilobe is a trilobite-like Pseudo-Fossil Pokémon that existed since prehistoric times. It has three yellow legs attacked to its body. The body is brown with a beige line on the top. It has big, dark blue eyes on its head with two antennae on the top. They slowly melt its prey alive with its mucus and eats the prey whole. When in defense, it swims away at a high speed, making predators unable to catch it. In battle, it has 5 attacks: Water Gun. Megahorn, Body Slam, Ancient Power, and Hidden Power. It is based off the trilobite.
Scorprouge: Scorprouge is a Pseudo-Fossil Pokémon that existed since prehistoric times, looking like a eurypterid combined with an odd-looking vinegarroon. It has a large ovular head with two eyes with two tiny pupils. It has three, long legs with small, but powerful grey arms to catch its prey, along with an ovular abdomen with a whip on it with a vertical beige line. They are the top predators of freshwater swamps and mauls its prey to death. It is based off a vinegarroon.
Trivia:
They are close relatives of Kabuto and Kabutops.
They are technically living fossils.
Trilobe’s original name was "Sanyouch" and while Scorprouge's original name was "Bingare", and both of them used to have the Bug/Fighting type combo.
A group of Trilobes managed to melt an entire Cetitan and eat its remains. The Cetitan's whereabouts? It's dead.
Trilobe is slower on land but faster in water, while Bingare is even faster.
Trilobes have relations with Natlants.
When a predator is about to eat a Trilobe, the predator is unaware that Trilobes are thrice as dense as a Magikarp, and Trilobes taste like burnt plastic. However, the antennae are edible, and it isn’t harmful for the Trilobe when it’s antennae get removed and doesn’t feel any pain, and it’s antennae grow back rather quickly.
The small eyes on Kabuto’s shell are fake.
Species from our world lives here.
A Ghost/Bug Paldean regional form of both Kabuto and Kabutops live in this world. They were fossils that got possessed by ghostly energy and made the fossils act like they were still alive.

So canonically, Oddish's scientific name is "Oddium wanderus" and Kabutops' is "Kabutops maximus". Does that only extend to those forms, or does it apply to all members of their respective lines? Also, what about the other Pokémon? Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Meowth, Gengar? What are their taxonomic names?
