Every dinosaur Pokémon guide includes a list of different Pokémon. Hopefully, my original list will ensure that these Pokémon never go extinct. The point is to keep them in our hearts by connecting them to their real-life counterparts. If the Pokémon and its evolution are both based on the same dinosaur, then I will only include the final form. This will keep the list from being redundant and ensure you get your info. Okay, fossil brushes at the ready, as it’s time to uncover some fossilized fish , fossilized bird and Fossilized dino pokemon. I had to add Dracozolt because he’s another Crystal Palace dinosaur that is obviously a little out of place. His top half is raptor-like, while his bottom half is more like a Stegosaurus. Crystal Palace Dinosaur Pokémon The dinosaur Pokémon in Generation 2 are few and far between. The ones that are included aren’t as specifically inspired as the dinosaur Pokémon from other generations. But they deserve to be on this list. Meganium – Sauropod

Tyranitar is the most ambiguously inspired of all the dinosaur Pokémon. In my opinion, he is strongly based on Godzilla rather than a specific dinosaur. This would make him a mutated lizard, but let’s go with dinosaur. Generation 3 Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza are all based on real-life legendary creatures. The debate is whether or not these creatures ever existed in the first place. Groudon is based on what we call the Behemoth – who isn’t always considered a dino.

The origins behind the original prehistoric creature and the Pokémon are that fossils were found that had more than one dino or object in them. These were misconstrued as one dino in each fossil. Ark: Survival Evolved is one of my favorite modern video games. I have over 1000 hours logged and don’t plan to stop soon. While I didn’t have a huge interest in dinosaurs before I started playing, I now consider myself a connoisseur. Dinosaur Pokémon – At A Glance Pokémon You can call it a Triceratops or a Styracosaurus, but I believe that Bastiodon is based on the Chasmosaurus. All three dinos come from the ceratopsid family but have distinct differences in their facial structure. Garchomp – Concavenator

This list should take care of the essential part of identifying dinosaur Pokémon – finding out which dinosaur they are based on. Take a look at the dinosaur Pokémon I consider most accurate. I’ve even heard people refer to Bulbasaur as a dinosaur because of his name. But Ken Sugimori – the primary character designer and art director for the Pokémon – confirmed he’s actually based on both onions and frogs. Dinosaur vs Dragon Pokémon Course characters, stories, songs, videos and worksheets are all integrated to provide pupils with the practice and reinforcement they need for successful learning.

This is when things get interesting because the inspiration behind the Pokémon becomes extremely straightforward or completely ambiguous. These are the two obvious dinos. Tyrantrum – T-Rex Now, that said. I always thought Groudon looked like a large Ankylosaurus who stands on his hind legs. This is open to interpretation, but Groudon does give major dinosaur type vibes. Generation 4 Nidoqueen and Nidoking are Pokémon that I’ve always thought were dinosaurs. Although they are more compact than your average theropod, they still have most of the same features. Lapras – Plesiosaurus Meganium and Bayleef are definitely Sauropods. The exact Sauropod they are is unknown to me, but I am guessing that either the Apatosaurus or the Brontosaurus are good guesses. Feraligatr – Mosasaurus

Generation V has a few great dinosaurs. Although they aren’t my favorite, they are perfect for those who love the Archelon, Archaeopteryx, and Theropods in general. But then again, who doesn’t love Theropods? Carracosta – Archelon In the Galar region, the fossil and dinosaur Pokémon were inspired by “fake” dinosaurs of the Crystal Palace in London. These creature dinos are anatomically incorrect, often merging multiple dinos.Perfect for kids to use in the car, on a train, on a plane, in a restaurant, at a hospital, at the dentist – and, of course, at home! The name gives this one away, and there’s no room for argument. Archeops is an Archaeopteryx. The Archaeopteryx was also a likely colorful bird with a less feathery head and tail. Haxorus – Theropod It’s easy to say that Feraligatr is simply an alligator Pokémon. But I strongly believe he’s meant to be even more menacing. A Mosasuarus is a king of the sea, and I see a lot of similarities.
