The Alola region in Pokemon Sun and Moon was pretty cool, but it was missing something... FOSSIL POKEMON! We like designing new fossil Pokemon, so how about we make up some of our own fossil pokemon for the Alola region? What could they be based on? What would they look like? Let's just have some fun with Mossawsaur, Moamatau, Lancake, and Landream! Bet you haven't seen a dickinsonia before!

01:42 Why Alola had no Fossil Pokemon
02:55 The Mosasaur Pokemon
07:25 The Dickinsonia Pokemon
Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out! - Hry
I LOVE fossils and fossil Pokemon, not as much as my wife though, she helped write this video! AD: Go to buyraycon.com/lockstin for 15% off sitewide! Brought to you by Raycon.

Could you do a video about alternative armor evolutions for Charcadet?
Like say an armor made from Ferroseed barbs evolves it into a fire/grass type that uses barbed whips or has spike arm gauntlets.
Aron fragments evolves it into a fire/steel type that uses a lance.
Can you look at all of the Plants from Plants vs Zombies 1 & 2🧟♂️🔫🌻
When will you look at all of the Dinosaurs from the Video Game Fossil Fighters🦕🔥🦖
But Lockstin, WHAT DO THEIR FOSSILS LOOK LIKE!?!?! Maybe Lancake and Landream could be The Slab Fossil or The Impression Fossil to show how Dickinsonia didn't fossilize well and only left impression fossils over Keratinous or Boney fossils, and maybe Mossawsaur and Moamatua could be The Fin Fossil or The Skin Fossil even to reflect their intricate tattoos
Now let's see what Johto fossils Could've looked like!
Yes! I never understood why johto doesnt have fossils,hawaii is to young to have fossil,so does alola,but johto is right next to kanto,Who has 3 fossil pokemon.
And Paldea fossils!
I think something like an Allosaurus could be fun
@@majoratwili7312 It’s probably because of the past paradox Pokémon
I agree, Johto is my favorite region.
As a New Zealandic expat, I wanna let you know you pretty much nailed the Māori pronunciations my dude. I love the waka inspiration for Moanatau with the koru designs on the sides and the A.J Hackett reference. This is probably the closest to New Zealand region/Māori mythology influenced Pokémon we'll get, thanks man!
Maybe Gen 10 or 11 could be Australia and New Zealand as one region; there's certainly enough bizarre wildlife to justify it
oh Thanks! and good to know! I was looking up pronunciation guides like always, but even then I often mess up unfamiliar words. While not Māori specifically, I do have some experience with Hawaiian, as I have many Hawaiian relatives, and my dad lived there for like a decade or so. So I have some tangential experience, which MAY have helped.
I thought for sure he was gonna make a Moa Pokémon
As a New Zealander myself, seeing a Maori-inspired mosasaur as a potential Pokémon gives me immense amounts of serotonin
New Zealander here too.
As an athropology student, I LOVE how many cultural references you have in your fakemon! And biological, too! It's so wonderful!
Make her make more a pair or more of a fossil on for every region that doesn't have one cuz you know it's really not every freaking region and I say a pair or more because the first region had three Pokemon not just a pair that evolved and most of the regions that have them it's just a pair that evolves but in the latest region to have them they just freaking had fossils that you could mismatch
@@brandibastian4193 wut
@@AutumnalCrocodile1216 I suppose that was supposed to say what maybe you could learn to spell
I was saying he should get his wife to make more of these videos for regions that don't have fossil on already most of them have pairs but not all some have three fossils like Kanto two of which evolve most just have one that evolves but there was that mismatch 🐂 💩 in gallar
@@brandibastian4193maybe learn punctuation

OH MY GOODNESS THE DICKINSONIA GETTING ACTUAL ATTENTION, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH. What an accurate yet inventive adaptation of ‘em, too!
Ancient aquatic arthropods are a gift and I could 100% see this little breakfast bug in Alola!
oh i think it got a lot of attention from Sonia
@@charwillusher2377 lmfao
Yes my cousin is happy about it
sonia has joined the chat
@@cbg1609 I don't get it
Fun fact: i only realized Alola didn't have any fossils yesterday, so i think this shows how much Lockstin cares about us
Me 2 lmao
When you get to Johto fossils, I think it'd be interesting to base it around Japanese myths and earliest known yokai. Johto is arguably the most "Japanese" region in all the games, so lean into it, especially to help differentiate it from its neighboring region, Kanto. Instead of finding "fossils," find preserved Shinto relics with spirits residing in them. There's a precedent for this kind of thing in the anime, after all, so I don't think it's that far-fetched.
theres also the ruin pokemon in gen 9 that literally are relics that form a body from thsir surroundings
🤔👍
oo, i actualyl am doing something similar for a fakemon region i'm making. ghostly energy permiate the region thanks to an event in the past, so rather than fossils, its possessed objects that have bonded with the spirits inside of them.
You mean… Farfetch’d ;D
That's a great idea
On top of that Alola not having any fossils, it’s really weird that we don’t have any Fossil Pokémon in Paldea although, the Paradox Pokémon maybe the alternative for that in some way.
Would still be cool to see what the Paldean Fossil Pokémon could look like!
It is possible that Farigiraf and Baxcalibur draw their inspiration from the Decennatherium and the Concavenator respectively, two fossils found in Spain, so if you want, they can be considered as equivalents too, to compensate for the lack of fossils due to the Paradoxes
@@pikanyanm2872 I'd say baxcalibur is more of a nod/reference to godzilla, where as its middle evo may be a reference to either concave or spino
He already did a video on possible Paldea fossils
I really appreciate how respectful of cultures you are and how you clearly do your research about them before making these. Thank you so much for showcasing the First Nations of both Australia and Aotearoa in such a well done manner :)
I agree
Wow. I actually never noticed gen 7 didn't have any! No wonder I felt like something was missing during those runs.
What I really hoped for before the release of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon was for the Route 8 Fossil Restoration location to have changed into something like the Friend Safari from X&Y, with fossil Pokémon roaming in the wild.
That would have been so cool, and apt as I think the Jurassic Park movies were filmed in Hawaii...
@@jaysea3690 yeah, and although I’m glad it happened in Gen 8 in the Crown Tundra, having a fossil Pokémon park side quest would’ve been awesome
Excuse me for asking, but I really liked being introduced to a new culture through a Fakemon, I'd almost wanna see Lockstin make Fakemon based on different cultures as a series
He has 2 series about his own regions, you should really look at them. You can find them in his playlist section
@@Johnsechuan and the Kaskade region has a theme of immigration, so it’s got inspirations from various cultures. Including the ones native to the PNW area.
@@enlongjones2394 they’re also making a game on the kaskade region
I'm a Māori person who was a little disappointed that Alola didn't have a lot of Māori influences so this made me so happy! I'm so glad you talked about this so respectfully, and your pronunciation was basically perfect. I really hope we do get actual 'mon based on Māori culture someday, but these Fakémon are so well made, the artist did great!
Hey, there's always a chance for an New Zealand or Australian region, the latter would surely incorporate New Zealand as well! I'm glad Alola was the region where every Pokemon started being based off if something from the region though, as I'm from Hawai'i and love Hawaiian culture
This is a concept I have long thought about and it is really awesome to see Alola Fossils brought to life!
Yoo hello there PragMagik!
Hi Brandon!
2:34 Lockstin: One dinosaur, and one not-a-dinosaur
**shows two dinosaurs**
Ironically, THAT would've been the time to have a picture of a mosasaur.
Mossawsaur and Lancake are amazing! The fact that both evolved to resist the inverment that they live is simplely incridible and super clever. I woukd catch both of them, specialy Lancake & Landream.
3:23: well, I am that Paleo-dork, so I'm saying it, unlike a lot of extinct fauna from back then, the mosasaurs actually where lizards, Monitor Lizards to be precise.
i thought they were much closer to snakes in more recent studies
@@indythechaos1634 It depends on who you ask. Not having mosasaur DNA or that many early snake fossils complicates things.
Despite Playing Alola 3 Times. I Actually never thought about Fossil Pokémon in Gen 7
There's literally an NPC that mentions opening an island filled with fossil Pokemon
@@dougtheghoul2845 jurassic park reference for sure
Verg killed it with the designs! Loved this installment of fossil explorations and enjoyed all the Dickinsonia bits!
Vergolophus is such an underrated artist. I love these concepts you've made that she's translated so well into the designs! Kudos to both of you!
Also the Lancake and Landream designs and origin... Gave me goosebumps. The art, the music, the editing, the lore... Man this video is so well made. Again kudos! To everyone involved!
I feel like Moamatau should also have a signature move. In this case, it would be a new move called "Kelp Reel". A powerful grass-type move that does extra damage to flying types. Not only that, but it can also ground flying types, as well as Pokémon with the ability of Levitate or, are holding an air balloon.
I like that you kept the trend of one fossil looking tough and predatory, while the other is more neutral looking and peaceful/static.
Just imagine how great a Lancake plush would be, I never thought somebody would make a dickinsonia Pokémon!
I would want a lancake blanket
I get a overdose of dopamine when lockstin makes a new video I love seeing the pure quality of his videos and his video are just super enjoyable after a long day. I usally never comment but I just wanted to say thank you for all the videos and time you put into them truly think you are one of the best CZcamsrs on this platform no joke. Just wanted to say thank you because I been watching you since 2015 or 2017. Haven’t watched the vid yet but I bet its dope.
Same here. Literally
“We’ll do one dinosaur and one not a dinosaur!” *shows picture of a t-rex and a chicken, both of which are dinosaurs*
it’d be adorable if lancake stacked as a defence mechanism to make themselves look bigger and to fortify eachother
I used this same process for making fossils for my Greece region. Since Greece was underwater during the times of the dinosaurs, there weren't any fossils. So, I made one aquatic fossil (plesiosaur), and one fossil that was found in Italy, which is not only near Greece, but the ancient Greeks and Romans basically had the same mythology. As such, I used the Tethyshadros, a fossil found in Italy and the most complete skeleton to date.
Now that's some great fossils. They both great, but I absolutely love execution of the Lancake line, because dickinsonia is so plain - just a couple of cells, barely differentiated from water, in a shape of a pancake - but with a right inspiration, Pokemon based on it became something cute and curious
LOVED the art in this episode!! huge shout out to the artist, and loved these guys in general. loved their lore. they are real pokemon in my heart now.
Excited for some Alola content!
Nice video I hope you do a video on What if Johto had Fossil Pokémon and What if Paldea had a Fossil Pokémon.
Maybe the reason Paldea didn't have any fossil pokemon is because of the paradox pokemon? Either that or their are fossil pokemon for the region but are being saved for DLC?
I think a super cool fossil Pokémon would be based-around the evolving understanding of structure of fossils. Specifically a 3-stage line based on Spinosaurus, starting as a tail-on-the-ground, upright, allosaurus skulled creature, evolving into. JP3 styled spinosaurus, and ending at the modern reconstruction.
If Moana had a Pokémon team, Moamatau would be her ace. The conceptualization says it all! Phenomenal job!!!
2:34 "Let's make one a dinosaur and another not a dinosaur" *Proceeds to show 2 pictures of dinosaurs* *Also proceeds to make neither fossils dinosaurs*
every time you come up with new pokemon I wish they could become official, they're just so good!
I love the fact that Moamatau has a Y-shaped tongue, a fact tjat many mosasaur depictions forget, treating them more like sea crocodiles rather than lizards
2:31 Actually if I'm not mistaken the Hawaiian islands weren't really formed the way most mountains are.
To simplify it, most mountains are created by tectonic movement that thrusts rocks from the depths of the earth into the surface and up. An example is orogenetic belts like the one of the ancient Tethys Sea that used to run all the way from Gibraltar to East Asia, and has been closing up. The great mountain chain that splits Asia in the E-W axis (and also contains the Himalayas), alongside the Alps in Europe are the result of the closing of Tethys (which continues to this day in the Mediterranean). The rocks that make up the mountains formed in the seabed of Tethys and were later thrust into the surface by the obduction of the African Plate beneath the Eurasian one (some are metamorphic so they also had a journey underground before reaching the surface, but I digress)
The Hawaiian islands are an example of Hot-Spot volcanism, basically warm spots in the earth's mantle can create volcanoes if they pierce the tectonic plate that's over them, and the volcanism that comes as a result of this slowly builds up the island. In fact, the hawaiian islands get progressively older as you move through them, because the hot spot remains static while the tectonic plate drifts over it.
Now I am not really an expert on the specifics of such volcanism, but I don't know if it's possible for fossil-bearing petrified sediments of the seabed to find their way in the surface of those islands. I'd mostly expect to find volcanic rocks (which aren't usually fossil-bearing) and MAYBE sedimentary formations from when the islands were still being built (so around the 5-6 Ma age). If someone is a geologist with experience on the topic, I'd be curious to know
You would be right. The volcanic origins of the Hawaiian islands mean that any fossils present would need to have formed after the islands moved off of the hotspot and stopped producing lava...but due to the islands' small sizes, the likelihood that _any_ fossils would last long enough for a 21st-century paleontologist to find them is low.
Seriously one of my favorite content creators period!
Thank you so much for all your work, Lockstin and Co, keep it up!
lockstins pronounciation of Maori words has improved so much! The inspiration for Moamatau is so cool I wish it was real!
2:36 Birds are still technically considered dinosaurs since they directly decent from them and still have physiological features (like bones and anatomy indications) that indicate that they are still dinos and stuff...
Soo to simplify: *Ohhh the irony*
I love all the fossils so much! Aerodactyl has always had my heart
Same here, one of my favorite pokemon
I honestly love these Fossilmon. They're super creative and fit in with the Alola Pokemon. Shame they're fan made, I would love one of these on my team. Vergolophus did an outstanding job. Thank you for pointing me towards another cool Fakemon Artist.
Im totally catching them both! They will be a great addition to my collection
For a new Zealand base fossil pokemon, we really don't have to go that far back. Maybe 500 or 600 years. There's the Haas Eagle and the Moa. One of the largest predatory bird and flightless bird.
I was really disappointed that they didn't have a carnivorous caterpillar Pokemon in Alola. Its native to only Hawaii. It would have been so cool.
Vergo did do a good job and probably loved doing the Mosasaur mon the most.
I would love to see more fossil mon for different regions that don't have them, if you'd be willing to commission them and make a video on it.
I love the designs you and your artists come up with and many of them I feel the urge to make plushies for, because they're so cute, colorful, and cool
I loved alohla but I always wished they had fossil Pokémon so good job on fufilling a long lasting thought of mine
Appreciate the Aussie representation with Lancake, it’s so cute too. And the Mosawsaur line is really cool. Top tier designs as always, love these Fakemon videos.
Lockstins videos are sure the only ones I NEVER skip the ads while I watch them. He just presents them in such a creative and funny way! 😊 Even though I can already tell what the next Helix-add may include, I love his story telling nevertheless 👍
FOSSIL POKÉMON ARE MY FAVORITE POKÉMON!!!!! PLEASE DO MORE!!!! Edit: I’m a dinosaur nerd and almost flipped off when you called mosasaur a dinosaur.
I DID flip off. I don't appreciate being called a "dinosaur nerd" in a tone of voice suggesting contempt. Nor rejecting science to satisfy an emotional attachment to something he believed was true when he was five (I knew that mosasaurs aren't dinosaurs when I was THREE).
Love Mossawsaur's art, would definitely be something I'd put on a team.
11:05
PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HEAR LOCKSTIN SAY THAT
I really love the inspiration behind lancake and landream. I've been to australia once and we visited an aboriginal museum and cultural center near Cairns and i really really want to go back to learn more one day
How did I not notice that Alola had no new fossil Pokemon?
OK so the mosasaur is not a dinosaur but you don’t have to yell at us for it I’m not blaming no One😢
2:37 this bit triggers my inner paleontologist so much
I always love the kind of videos of Pokémon you guys come up with!
That be cool but it's nice sometimes to have more new ideas for Pokemon rather than the new fossil
Love these designs and the concepts behind them. Well done!
These are all so cool! The artist did such a great job
I LOVE lancake, and it’s evolution. The inspirations are so interesting and it really strikes a cute cool balance. Also the artist (whom I love and follow on twitter) did such a good job making him look like a little mysterious guy. I LOVE HIM ❤️
11:57 - So... Earth Power, but it hits both Pokémon on the opposing team and then causes Rain AND Psychic Terrain? Given all the other new moves we got with Gen 9, I can see that fitting just fine...
I love the art on this one! They absolutely nailed the Pokémon style
Lockstin talking about Alolan Raichu: "PANCAKES!!!!"
2:38
"1 dinosaur and 1 not a dinosaur"
proceeds to show 2 dinosaurs
love both of them and their evos. Good job on these and awesome art
Vergolophus always makes awesome fakemon. The Mosasaur is so cool!
Love the creativity. Nice job, Lockstin and crew!
This video is much better quality that your usual stuff lately, good on yall!
Great video Lockstin I love your fakemon lore!
2:36 "one not a dinosaur" shows chicken, a dinosaur.
I love Gen 3's Fossils the most personally, so the Rock/Grass had me sold immediately, followed by easily one of the most solidly cool ideas I've seen in a wild for a pokemon. Doing good work, Lockstin!
4:13 The Aztec's also had a wooden paddle sword called a Macuahuitl,
but it's teeth were obsidian (volcanic glass).
This is one cool video and I love the designs of these Pokémon too!
These are so well designed! And your uses from real life are fantastic! Oh his is just brilliant.
Man I'd love this to become a series
These are amazing pokemon, great design and great background
Love it love it love it
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS MUCH
Oh wow, dickinsonia! I adore the creatures from the Ediacaran period. They're just so fantastically bizarre. Fantastic job on these!
Lockstin: A dinosaur and not a dinosaur.
He then proceeds to show a chicken, which is indeed a dinosaur.
These were incredibly inspired and creative. I feel genuinely sad they will never be in the actual games
Lancake is one of my new favorite fakemon! It’s so cute, and I love the butter stone
I gotta say, Landream might have to be my favorite fakemon design i have EVER seen! Something about that dude just really draws me in, I love him! He looks both cute yet slightly creepy, but its a perfect balance of them! All these mon are great, super clever designs and inspirations!
I would die for these pokémon, they have SO MUCH thought put into them and their designs are so endearing!
2:37 “one not-a-dinosaur”
*shows a dinosaur*
Also I doubt that gamefreak even CONSIDERED Australia when making Alola.
Also I made some fossil Pokemon for my region (which actually is based on Australasia) Protopial, a Rock Normal type based on Diprotodon, a giant wombat-like marsupial, and Goannlaeo, a Rock Fighting type based on megalania, a giant prehistoric goanna. Protopial is peaceful, but it's powerful claws and large size mean it has no predators, in fact, it's claws are made out of enamel so it can burrow through rock, and it's posterior and back have minerals in its skin from it's burrowing and dirt eating, meaning Protopial can reconstitute those minerals to make that patch as hard of the wall of a cave. And Goannlaeo can actually use Aura, albeit primitively.
The Lancake line looks amazing! I want it
The Pokemon you come up with never disappoint!
Storm Drain on a pokemon that would normally be quad-weak to water is nuts. Love it.
This was awesome and Vergo did an amazing job
woaaaaaah really in love with Lancake!!! Fantastic concept and execution!!
Absolutely perfect picks for fossil Pokémons!!
I love these. Lockston did a great job on scientific and anthropological reference, and Vergolophus did an amazing job with the design. Such well thought out Fuaxomon.
Ooh, Mossawsaur is a real cutie! I didn’t realize it before, but it really satisfies a coloration I’d like to see from a kelp pokemon that Skrelp’s poison purple doesn’t ;P. The theming is so neat too!
10:52
Lockstin: Sir, Gnoggin's in the back and I will call him.
From New Zealand I love how you use Maori legends and things in my culture
Love how your leaning into the idea that pancakes have magical powers. Keep up the good videos!
Thank you for making these! It’s been so long since we got really good fossil Pokémon. And the paleo nerd inside me would die of joy if they made an ediacaran inspired Fossil Pokémon!
2:27 islands like hawai were formed by magma in vulcanic eruptions, they were not brought to surface by tectonic forces. The fossil on the seafloor were most likley destroyed by the high temperatures of the magma. That and the fact that they are very new in geologic time are the main reasons why vulcanic island dont have many fossils.
The artist here did SUCH a great job on these designs!! Loved this video as always -^^-
I love mossawsaur. I would definitely have one on my team.
