Fakemon: Poninat

Name: Pony+Knat

Type: Bug/ Flying

Species: The Air Maggot Pokemon

Abilities: Poison Point/ Immunity /Sap Sipper (DW)

Description: Poninat has a symbiotic relationship with the poisonous marshland plant that its parents lay its eggs in. The plant creates specialized nectar for Poninat to feed on. In return, Poninat releases chemicals into the soil that make it easier for the plant to grow. Poninat's tail strongly resembles its head, and it takes advantage of this by dipping it in the plant's venom to ward off potential predators. One taste of this disgusting treat teaches predators to avoid them for good!

Origin: Poninat is based on maggots and flies. Its tail is based on how similar horsefly larvae's tails look to their heads.

Notes: Poninat and its evolution, Echupa, have a 50% male/50% female gender ratio. However, its final form, Horrifly, has a 75% female gender ratio. If you catch Poninat and evolve it, though, there is no chance that its gender will change, unlike Azurill.
