As for the horseshoe crab, that exists in the form of Kabuto/Kabutops.

I've actually seen a nice fanart of a Water/Steel Squid, so I agree that would make a great new design. (As for Kabuto, I see your point. Don't ask me why I forgot about him. *sigh*)

The few that don't really fit are the moths and bats, and maybe Gengar's line (which isn't animal based anyway). Oh and... whatever the Nidos are supposed to be.
Fire on the other hand... obviously there aren't a wealth of animals that naturally lend themselves to Fire.

My point was simply that if GameFreak *wants* to make a Poison/Dragon based on a Komodo, they will, regardless of reality! There are plenty Pokes of every type that aren't truly related to their typing, but they all work well.

A Normal/Fighting Zangoose evolution would be cool. It was one of Hoenn's cooler designs and learns several Fighting moves, which allow it to eventually become a true fighting type given continued combat with Seviper. 80/121/70/80/70/109 stats would be great.
To go along with that, a Poison/Dragon evolution for Seviper. It would provide another chance for that cool typing, and Seviper is my favorite poison type as is. Its ongoing feud with Zangoose granted it tougher scales, sharper fangs, and a deadly blade, all dragon-esque characteristics. It would be based off a Basilisk, with stats of 83/110/70/115/70/82.
Finally, a Fighting/Ghost evolution for Medicham. Its mental and spiritual training complete, it has transcended into a higher existence, augmenting its special powers. 60/60/95/110/95/90 stats, it retains Pure Power, and I'm not sure what type of design. In the process, it would gain Aura Sphere.
I doubt these would happen, but I think they'd be cool.

Banette and Magnetric I fully support, but Seviper and Zangoose I don't feel will evolve because of their uniqueness. Medicham is already extremely powerful, although I really like the flavor of that idea.
By the way, nothing would make me happier than to see those archaic IVs disappear (even if that IS unlikely).
