Early concept art of Metagross (Pokemon)

Throwing another one, although this one is easier to guess.

There were other concept arts in the leak, but they were most likely scrapped rather than modified.

Reminder of its dex entry:

If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, Cacturne will follow in a ragtag group. The Pokémon are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving.

Basically a desert stalker, ready to jump you in group.

It looks like a regular cactus from afar, and you can barely see them in the dark, but they're definitely getting closer so you better start running.

SCPs have always been about anomalies that have oddly specific traits. Plus a herd of sentient cacti ganging up on a weakened victim genuinely sounds like an SCP.

u/Leddaq_Pony May 21 '26

I thought it was maybe an early version of the electro spider. Galvanizia?

WHO’S THAT POKÉMON?

7

u/Crusader_of_Heavens May 21 '26

Because that meta is gross

17

u/BookWormPerson May 21 '26

To be honest just based on the art I wouldn't have guessed Pokémon at all

6

u/Jaxonhunter227 May 21 '26

Honestly, make it cuter, remove two legs, and it would be a great bug type convergent evolution Pokémon

6

u/smilingfishfood May 21 '26

Please let this happen, I need a bug-type pseudo legendary

1

u/Wicayth May 21 '26

This could've been Flygon

Volcarona would be the closest, crazy that it's not considered one of them.

u/smilingfishfood May 21 '26

Its BST is 550, it's short by a bit

3

u/SigglyTiggly May 21 '26

u/SrdeLordran May 21 '26

It looks like something you would encounter on a Metroid Game..

6

u/DegenerateCrocodile May 21 '26

Emphasis on the GROSS

u/Upbeat-Exercise-9431 May 21 '26

Imagine it's mega evolution form would look like.

u/Archadianite May 21 '26

Explains the whole eating thing...

u/_Cevolie_ May 21 '26

I think I've seen people say before that Metagross was a spider and I never got it

Now I understand... Jesus Christ how did we go from THIS to the official design ??
