I have a problem with it's evo being normal/ground. Normal ground seems so random especially considering it can FLY.

I suggest somthing more like this:

That's awesome. This is the image I saw a few pages back:

It's awesome isn't it.

Souldsilver Pokédex entry: If spotted, it escapes by burrowing with its tail. It can float just slightly using its wings.
Ruby Pokédex entry: Dunsparce has a drill for its tail. It uses this tail to burrow into the ground backwards. This Pokémon is known to make its nest in complex shapes deep under the ground.

Jesus. It even has a drill on the end of its tail, for crying out loud. And it can't "fly" as such, it can only just hover above the ground for a few minutes. Still, I think a dragon would be a likely evolution, just like the design you found.

And that looks even more epic than the picture I posted.

If it does evolve, it could become Dragon/Ground.

We already have 2 of those, I'd prefer something unique and interesting

I agree with Gokuzbu. Normal/Dragon sounds very interesting if it could get swords dance/dragon dance, STAB extremespeed, outrage and aqua tail for coverage. Or just an improved Serene Grace ParaFlinch set.

Or a Dragon/Rock with Levitate. That would be awesome. It would be bulky and strong.

Gamefreak should also add more opposite type combinations, like Fire/Water or Poison/Steel.

They haven't done that yet? It would only have a x4 weakness to bug type moves. It would be nice.

I was hoping GF would make Gothitelle Dark/Psychic (because of the goth look) before Black and white came out, but no, they yet again gave us another plain psychic Pokémon.

That would be cool. But we like Dunsparce a lot because he hasn't ever gotten an evolution ever since he was released, and that was like in Gen 2 or 3 (I'm not sure). Jynx has a preevolution at least.

True, true. But still more to speculate about :d

Looks like a bulky Dragon/Ice Snow-Warning-user with Shell Smash to me.

Oh my God. Lapras does need an evolution and that is the perfect evolution.

What would a Dunsparce and a Lapras evolution be called anyway?

Would depend on their looks since pokemons names are based on that.

And here I thought that given Lapras's stats he should be a likely candidate for getting a pre-evolution and not the other way round...

I kind of don't like how they basically cut off so many possible evolutions with the Eviolite. Such as: I would love to see a Skarmory evolution, but that's off the table, along with numerous other pokemon who would benefit too much from Eviolite. Oh well.


EDIT: Also, on the topic of evolutions, what if this game happened to have one of my earlier-posted ideas (space travel), and Steelix gained an evolution called Meteorix or something similar?

Steelix + Eviolite, oh lord
I like your space travel idea though. That's what those circular metal things in the desert from the trailer could be used for, possibly

I have a Wailord with every ribbon that every existed. It's so fuckin' rad. I'd like to add more.

(No other Pokemon would have had room for them all!)
