Daily Dex - Lombre, Quilava and Marshtomp

In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop

Oy oy oy. Each day I think I'm better; I wake up, get dressed, do morning stuff and then by like 3-4 my body collapses and I get short of breath. Covid's got hands.

Drawing of pokemon 271; kind of biped turtle creature that seems to naturally have evolved a sombrero

I'm laughing that one of the first pokemon I got for the project after writing the blog post about racism against people of hispanic descent even if we're mixed is this fucking guy. I hit '271' on the random number generator. Behold. The sombrero man. The Tequila Gundam manifest.

Dios mio lmfao

Sun 04/05/2026 - Quilava

Drawing of pokemon 156; a sort of blue and tan quadruped otter thing standing on two feet with flames coming out of its back and tail

In hindsight I should have done like a rabbit or egg theme for easter but it's not really a holiday I observe other than occasional egg decorating and I legitimately forgot it WAS easter sunday until after I drew this.

The most easter has ever meant to me was 2016 when an egg hunt with my kids found us 5 newborn kittens in the yard. Cats kinda took over the holiday lmao

Anyway, Quilava is great! Middle evolutions for starters are always a hit or miss but I'm ok with this (and our next one tbh) one. And that rounds our our evolutionary chain on this line; we've done both Cyndaquil AND Typhlosion (the hisuian variant anyway but I'm going by dex entry and not variant) so we can wave goodbye to this group.

Mon 04/06/2026 - Marshtomp

Drawing of pokemon 259; a tealish biped salamander like creature that looks like it's had too much but it's a happy drunk

Anyyway, speaking of middle siblings; I've never used a Marshtomp (had a Mudkip in ZA that I evolved to Swampert ASAP using candies) so I can't really speak to it but I do like the design even if I did uhhh start from the head and grossly misrepresent its size.

Listen, we do these 10 minutes for a reason. Sometimes they turn out like a cursed horse.
