Iguana
There aren’t as many lizard Pokemon in the franchise as you might expect, and stranger still, nearly all of them appear to be bipedal for some reason.
Sure, some actual lizards are known to stand on their hind legs when necessary, but it isn’t exactly a defining characteristic, and indeed, it’s vaguely threatening to see a lizard standing up to stare you down.
“Come at me, bro,” it snarls, clenching its tiny claws into fists, before throwing punches fearsome enough to fell predators three times its size.
Sounds silly, doesn’t it? Of course it does, and that’s why we need a big, lumbering reptilian quadruped in the form of an iguana Pokemon. There was surely an easier way to convince you of that, but hey, we got there in the end.
It doesn’t necessarily have any typing that jumps out as particularly obvious, but dragon seems as suitable as any. After all, if a bat, a turtle and a palm tree qualify, it really isn’t that much of a stretch. Damn you, Exeggutor!
The iguana Pokemon would be deceptively speedy, as the creatures are known to be fleet of foot for short bursts, and might evolve into something completely unrelated, like a goanna or a Komodo dragon.
Admit it, this all makes a surprising amount of sense, doesn’t it?
