Snacks Pokémon are Pokémon made out of a certain food. Although they are edible, it is highly encouraged that you don't eat them as most have a poisonous self defense mechanism! This only activates when they need it to, and if they like a Twoleg or another Pokémon enough, they will share their snacks with them. Their body parts regrow but need time to do so. Snacks Pokémon may gain the Fairy typing if you so choose!

Alien:

Alien Pokémon are super out of this world! Typically coming in a set of bright neon colors (green, blue, pink, and yellow). It's theorized these funky little Pokémon got here from space, though it's never been confirmed if that's actually true or not. These little guys seem relatively harmless, but they do always tend to be overly impressed with our world and how it works. These Pokémon come in neon, saturated, out of this world colors and can have any kind of antennae. Their eyes are big and black with no visible iris. Sometimes they can have cute little cartoonish stars and planets orbiting them, but they must also be neon and not realistic.

Glitch:

Glitch Pokémon were originally an attempt by Twolegs to create new traits, but it didn't go so well. However, don't worry! No Pokémon were harmed in this process (probably). Glitch Pokémon were then released to the wild where they spread the genes for the Glitch trait. These Pokémon are typically dull colors and have little glitchy parts about them; there's a ton of variety with this trait alone.
*This trait is very open to artist depiction, meaning as long as they look glitchy, they should be approved!

Aura:

Aura Pokémon can have things floating around them, such as hearts or music notes. However, it's definitely not limited to those only those examples!

Origin:

Origin pokemon look much like their modern forms, but just a bit more prehistoric and feral. Longer fangs, messy fur, and dinosaur-like tails and horns are a common sight to see among them, but there's plenty of room to be creative. Minor color adjustments are fine, as long as they stay clearly reminiscent of their typical colors.

Costumed:

Costumed Pokémon are best known for their white porcelain masks and smooth dark bodies. They do not appear to have faces under their masks, and it's painful to take them off- under them is just a putrid black void, able to terrify even the bravest of creatures. They also have chunky, pointy tails which are always banded. They sometimes have chunks of porcelain or stitched plush on their bodies, which can have patterns. Plush generally has striped patterns whilst porcelain looks painted. Their main body can have as many patterns as basic Pokémon. May gain the Ghost typing.
