I'm glad you enjoy it😁! I likely won't be posting anymore designs because I'm fresh outta ideas, but perhaps the Pokemon company and Gamefreak can help me out if you know what I mean😉😏.



(Perhaps they could make their own🤫)

Here's hoping they do, cause all the art you've done so far has looked really good.

Looking forward to checking out more of your stuff whenever you get more inspiration to draw!

That looks so cool! And also rather terrifying when imagining seeing a gigantic version of that somewhere out in deep space lol.

Mega evolution has seemed to strip it of all compassion. Instead of giving life in a cold world, it has come to be the destroyer of it. Perhaps it's because we did not honor it as a legendary pokemon, perhaps not. But either way, the end is nigh...the wrath of the cosmic moth is upon us...
 
[PokeCommunity.com] Lepidoptera FakemonMothim Evolution; name TBD

This pokemon is better adapted to bee hive raids, with its longer mouthparts and increased speed. Mothim often accompanies this pokemon in raids, allowing them easier access to honey. It is seen as a leader figure among mothim populations.

The design leans into the hawk moth aspect of mothim, with clear wings. An example would be hummingbird clear wing moths. Bagworm moth males also have clear wings, so the two inspirations can be harmonized in that way. The intimating appearance relates to death head hawkmoths, and their correlation with destruction, death, etc...And the fact that they raid bee hives themselves also.

Any suggestions on what it's name should be? And would you rather have mothim get a mega evolution or a standard evolution form?

First of all, having a 'leader' type evolution for Mothim, especially taking "bee hive raids" into account, gives me the thought that this evolution acts as a 'rival' to Vespiquen. Which in my opinion is really cool.

Second, the wings look stunning. I also really like the look of its longer proboscis, it reminds me of the old plague doctors' bird-like masks.

Lastly, my creativity (at least) doesn't extend to coming up with proper names for creatures sadly, but I'd nickname one 'Air Raid' due to its effectiveness at hive raiding. As for megas VS proper evolutions, I'll always pick standard evos. I love the mega mechanic, but it seems like Game Freak isn't quite as attached to it as I am, unfortunately, and I'd rather have the new designs be available in more games than just what few they decide to allow megas to be in.

Yeah, I thought mothim needed the bisharp treatment with a leader evolution, and the vespiquen rivalry makes a lot of sense too.
Honestly, a plot like a vespiquen hive waging war with mothim and it's evolution would make for a great episode in an anime. Perhaps such a new threat would cause male combee to evolve into drone bees(guard bees).

Really cool idea for its inspiration, especially when they're right next to each other in the National Dex as well.
Oh, that's a fun idea for an anime for sure! And giving male Combee a 'Gallade' equivalent evolution'll make anyone who passed up on a shiny one feel extra sad for counting them out early-on. (plus I've personally never really been a fan of certain Pokemon being totally unviable simply because of gender-locked evolutions, so a male-only drone evo would help solve that problem)

One can only dream of such a thing unfortunately...
