Pokémon Sword & Shield: 10 Galarian Forms We Need To See
6. Dunsparce
Actually, not so much Dunsparce but whatever Dunsparce evolves into. The little cave dwelling flatworm has become a cult hero amongst the fanbase, not unlike Bidoof or Trubbish. The most recent trailer though has given Dunsparce fans hope.
In it, we saw Gen III Pokémon Zizagoon and its evolution Linoone get a third stage evo in Obstagoon, as well as new KISS/badger design and the Dark type. At one point, people thought goofy Normal Dragon Pokémon Drampa might be next stage for Dunsparce, but those thoughts were cruelly dashed.
The seed of the idea remains though: could Dunsparce be a Dragon type waiting to blossom?
The British mythology is certainly there. George and the dragon, the Welsh flag, the Loch Ness Monster, the Lambton Worm... there’s a big scope of British beasties to take advantage of. Surely there’ll be some Pokémon referencing this cultural history in the game, but will they be Galarian riffs or just brand new ones?
Either by giving Galarian Dunsparce a Dragon typing or just giving it a straight up cross generation evolution, Game Freak can make Dunsparce fans’ dream’s come true.
