Something that stuck out to me was the final evo of the water starter. The outline should not be fully black. I like the first one but I think you should call it a splice because it looks like the base pokemon was a spheal.
Edit: Nevermind I just looked again and you never said they were scratches. Sorry for that.
Hmm... Its still very Sphealesque no?

You're really amazing at fakemon spriting. I can't wait to see more!
