Garbage Type Pokemon

About two years ago, I came up with a new Pokemon type called “Garbage”, consisting of Pokemon who were spawned from mankind’s refuse and pollution. I initially drew up a few ideas for this new type, but then ultimately forgot it until recently. I decided to challenge myself and try to come up with one pokemon of each type mixed with “Garbage” Type. Here’s the rundown on each one, in order:

PURE GARBAGE

DISPOSALORD

When enough Garbodor come together, they can form a Disposalord. Although it possesses incredible strength and noxious breath, Disposalord is very gentle and wise.

NORMAL/GARBAGE

SEPTANK

The result of a Miltank being exposed to a Sludge Stone. Both heads think one after the other, often tripping over itself when walking. Its milk is too toxic to drink, but can make opponents quite sick.

BUG/GARBAGE

FLYTIP

An obnoxious little bug that spawns in almost any place where trash is left out. It flies in erratic, dizzying patterns that confuse others easily. It will eat most any trash, but favors greasy fast food.

ROCK/GARBAGE

SHUNDEMN

The shell of an abandoned building made animate through some unknown force. Some theorize its stone walls are made from other rock-type Pokemon that were unwittingly ground into concrete. Shundemn move slowly to try and trap people inside it, but it doesn’t harm anyone.

PSYCHIC/GARBAGE

WUTNOT

The first person who discovered it remembers nothing about its initial discovery beyond having it in their house. It constantly bounces and somersaults, switching its “head” and “foot” around randomly. Though its owners insist it can speak human language, outsiders can only hear a muffled gibberish.

ICE/GARBAGE

SCOOPLOP

When threatened, it will either flatten itself out to try and slip up attackers, or retract its whole body into its sugary shell. Though it smells sweet and comes in a variety of colors, Scooplops are not edible and should never be eaten, not even a little lick.

SCOOPUDDLE

Though heat makes it harder to maintain its shape, it craves heat. It will even dive into the mouth or nose of other creatures in search of warmth. Otherwise, it will attack with long, sticky whips.

GRASS/GARBAGE

MESSCHEW

Found near farmers markets and orchards, Messchew feed on tiny bugs attracted to its rotten-smelling mouth. It moves by slipping and sliding on its four feet, though this often leads to accidents. Sometimes they trip others purely as entertainment, if their high-pitched laughter is any indication.

CHOMPOST

Not as mobile as its previous evolution, Chompost prefers to sit and wait for smaller prey to wander near. Its preferred spot is in rotting logs and yard waste. They belch loudly and proudly, to the point where they do it for fun.

WATER/GARBAGE

FLOATSOM

It bobs and sways with the ocean current, collecting any plastic bottles it finds. Some will trade bottles with each other, though the “value” of each bottle varies from Floatsom to Floatsom. Larger Pokemon avoid eating them, as their bodies are a choking hazard.

TRAWLOBITE

It also moves with the current and collects whatever plastic bits it finds, though they keep every last bit to themselves. Whenever one of their tentacles is torn off, it has a chance to become a new Floatsom.

GROUND/GARBAGE

TRESPOIL

Found deep beneath the earth under factories and power plants, Trespoils burrow with their acidic saliva and three huge teeth. Standing near one for too long can make a person very sick

SEWARDEN

Not as toxic as its previous evolution, but far larger and more aggressive. When its mostly hollow body gets “clogged”, it will forcefully eject the blockage out one or all of its many openings.

STEEL/GARBAGE

WRECKNING

If a car is left abandoned for too long, it can become a Wreckning. They spew dust and oil when frightened.

WRECKLOOSE

This crab-like metal beast smells strongly of gasoline. Its Rust Bust move can immobilize other Steel types.

FLYING/GARBAGE

ALBATRASH

Found near ocean dump sites, piers, and shipwrecks, feeding off of whatever it can spear with its beak. It decorates its sticky feathers with colorful pieces of trash- mostly discarded milk jug rings- but doesn’t seem to use it as either camouflage or a mating ritual.

POISON/GARBAGE

STALIGNANT

A living sack of dirty gauze and needles.
Stalignant’s spines are coated with debilitating diseases. Wearing gloves and goggles are highly recommended.

FIGHTING/GARBAGE

MOGSLING

These filthy felines will find any excuse to start a fight, especially with each other. Not only do they fling mud as a weapon, Mogslings coat themselves in mud constantly to keep cool and to prevent opponents from gripping them too hard.

DARK/GARBAGE

HAZMIX

A strange, eerie Pokemon found near science labs and chemical factories. When threatened, it offers its opponent a taste of its “medicine”, a strange, addictive compound produced by its body as a distraction. As a last resort, it can shoot stinging white powder out of its fingertips. Recreational use of Hazmix Medicine is banned in almost all regions.

FAIRY/GARBAGE

SKUMBRELLA

It hops from place to place, sometimes standing in corners for long periods of time. Legend has it that they can bring inanimate objects to life, or even grant wishes. But those who make such claims can never seem to prove it.

GHOST/GARBAGE

RINGHOUL

The collective spirit of creatures who died choking on discarded plastic. Though it doesn’t need to breathe, a Ringhoul makes constant wheezing and gasping noises. Opponents will often find themselves gasping for air when facing a Ringhoul, even without anything obstructing their breathing.

DRAGON/GARBAGE

TITANOXIOUS

Loud, aggressive, and obnoxiously foul-smelling, Titanoxious is one of
the most difficult Garbage type Pokemon to tame. Believed to have been
born from factory runoff mutating a more docile but as-of-yet unknown
sea creature, Titanoxious’ three heads each house a single-lobed brain
that all act in unison. Accidental inhalation of the fumes from its tail
can cause severe lung damage.

I didn’t draw any Fire or Electric-Type combos, as I couldn’t think of anything that would work or wasn’t immediately obvious. If anyone can think of a good idea for a Fire/Garbage or Electric/Garbage Pokemon, toss ‘em my way and maybe I’ll draw them ( @bogleech I’m looking at you!)

I’d want to use almost every last one of those.

For fire type, the first thing that comes to mind are burning tires. For electric, something to do with battery acid.
