Collage of my brainstorming so far. I think the pirate petrel, greaser griffin, and sniper condor (in that order) are my strongest candidates, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Colour wise I decided to add in Blue-Footed Booby elements into the design, as well as better posing & a more defined design

I made a quetzalcoatlus! I didn’t like the idea of doing a bird, but a pterosaur seemed more up my alley. To play up the Dark type, I wanted to go for something intimidating, so why not go for the biggest creature to ever take flight? Quetzalcoatlus have some really freaky anatomy, but they have some cool features too like their gigantic beaks and fun crests - in this case meant to loosely resemble an old cartoony blast effect along with the tail “feathers”.
This is still quite WIP, not sure if I’ll stick with it but if I so I may mess with the proportions and patterns a bit, and I’ll probably want to include some supporting material to show off its torso and hind legs better, as well as doing various actions. Stay tuned!

Read the CAP so far completely blind this morning. If this thing's using Beak Blast, I thought I'd give it one of earth's biggest, baddest beaks!
It's a cannoneer Dicynodont! Heavily inspired by Placeria and Lystrosaurus, who I think ought to get a Pokemon at some point. Big ol' lizard-cow with a beak is such a cool ancient animal. If anything is capable of generating crazy beak blasts, I think an animal the size and shape of a rhino ought to pump them out. I like to think its gastrointestinal system works like a cow where it repeatedly grinds up the same food over and over again, except instead of cud coming back into the mouth it's lasers.
But TheMantyke, I hear you ask, does this truly sufficiently convey Dark / Flying? I say shooting people at any provocation certainly sates the Dark-type. The Flying-type? Well, Pokemon-types have always been pretty malliable and weird. You can always have weird accommodations based on the design. Decidueye doesn't exactly scream ghost, and Dhelmise has like 4 types it could be. I think the giant beak is enough gas there instead of tossing very labored wings on there.
Still not satisfied? Well...
First time drawing something for a CAP in 17 years. Hopefully all the art posting rules are followed!

Tis' a dream catcher that became dark type because of all the nightmares it catches and absorbs :'D Was thinking of giving it wing feather arms. Not sure about how to put a peak or similar on it yet.
