    Ononokusu is not a Mantis! He doesn't even remotely resemble a mantis! I don't know why tons of people and even Serebii think so.

    Maybe it could be a Fighting/Dragon type that some people wanted before... I don't see the mantis at all either I think it is a Dragon with an axe on its head.

    Of course it isn't a mantis. It's a Pokémon.

    Pikachu is called the "Mouse Pokémon." Does it look like a mouse? No, it looks like a Pikachu.

    Exactly!
    I can't stand when people say "I can't even tell what it is!" It's obvious what it is, it's a Pokemon!

    Thank you!! Dragon-Axe is NOT a mantis! Although it looks Rock/Dragon or Bug/Dragon to me...or Bug/Steel if Game Freak wants to toy with the community :/

    That isnt official. Mantis isnt in his name. Serebii just had bad vision and called it a Mantis even though it shares NO features with a Mantis.

    Honestly based on the blurry sprite from a video I can't really tell what it looks like.

    Or at least not enough to assess whether it looks like a mantis or a dinosaur. :/

    I'mma wait for muh Sugimori artz.

    The shape of its head, and its stance do resemble the mantis. Well before you get all up in my grill, to ME it does. Idk why I see a resemblance, but other than that they look nothing alike. Some people call it a mantis, well maybe they have reasoning too. Some pokemon look nothing like the animals they're based off of, and we can't say it is or isn't a mantis until we have more info on it.

    So just b/c we already have a mantis pokemon that means there shouldn't be anymore? The reason that there are diff. fish is because there are soo many species of fish on Earth to render them after.

    Thats exactly what I said... They usually don't repeat... Thanks for repeating me and everything :) I'm saying its not likely a mantis because of Scyther being the Mantis and because it looks nothing like a mantis...
