#309.5 - Electrike generate electricity that they store in their long fur. By stimulating their leg muscles with electric charges, this Pokemon is able to trigger an explosive acceleration performance, allowing them to run faster than the human eye can follow. The friction created from running is converted into electricity, completing a cycle of electric power. This stored electricity can be discharged at will, allowing for powerful electric attacks. As Electrike age into Voltyke, they generate so much electricity that they will constantly be discharging it from their mane; occasionally causing forest fires. Fully matured Voltyke, named Manectric, are a rare sight, but are almost always accompanied by thunderclouds.
Named: Electrike - Voltyke - Manectric   [Old Version]
#310 Mega - With a strong bond and Manectite in their possession, Manectric are capable of Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric. Mega Evolution fills their body with a tremendous amount of electricity, powering up several stats, especially their speed; all the electricity running through their body stimulates Manectric’s muscles, making their explosive speed equal to that of a lightning strike. Trainers must be careful of their Manectric’s electricity output while it is Mega Evolved, as the power is often too much for them to properly control.

#640.? - Considered the most intelligent member of the legendary Swords of Justice, Virizion protects other Pokémon from losing their homes due to human expansion by deftly wielding a powerful energy blade from its head. Theorized to represent an intermediary stage in Virizion’s potential transformation into the enigmatic Iron Leaves, this Pokémon continues the diligent work of its predecessor to protect Pokémon-kind. Some researchers propose that this mysterious Pokémon could have arisen in a future where Virizion adapted to coexist with advanced technology, while others believe it might be the result of deliberate experimentation. Its rumored ability to generate blade-like energy projections from both its head and neck further fuels speculation about its connection to Iron Leaves. However, without concrete evidence, the origins of this Pokémon remains a tantalizing mystery, leaving its place in Virizion’s potential evolution up for debate.

#422.5 - Shellos live in the sea and feast on plankton; the more lovely the ocean, the more vibrant their color becomes. They are influenced by both diet and habitat, and currently two variations in color and shape have been documented. Shellos have a pliable body that can regenerate large amounts of damage, even growing back any part of their body that is torn off. As these Pokemon age, they develop a third eye on their forehead, which cannot see properly until it has finished growing.
Named: Shellos - Molluck - Gastrodon
[Old Version]

Applin are small, worm-like Pokemon that burrow into apples as soon as they’re born. The fruit serves as a home, food source, and protection against preying bird Pokemon; the flavor of the apple will even determine their evolutionary path.
#840.51 - Applin who choose to live inside a tart apple will evolve into Flapple. After maintaining a diet of tart and sour fruit, these Pokemon begin to take on the qualities of the apple they live within by producing a powerful acid, capable of causing chemical burns at full strength. These Applin stay within their apple their whole lives, eventually attaching flaps of the apple skin as wing-like appendages. 
Named: Applin - Wrapple - Flapple  
#840.52 - Applin who take residence in a sweet apple will evolve into Appletun. These Pokemon have a voracious appetite and break the outer shell of their apple as their back swells from heavy meals. As they mature, they will begin to produce a sweet nectar that attracts their prey - and unintentionally - hungry children!
Named: Applin - Applump - Appletun
#840.53 - Applin who prefer the shelter of a Syrupy Apple, a rare variety found exclusively in Kitakami, will evolve into Dipplin. In high-demand, multiple Applin wyrms will seek after the same Syrupy Apple; however, instead of fighting, the wyrms will pair up and live and work together within the apple, lead by the strongest individual, who becomes the the “fore-wyrm”. The wyrms develop the ability to produce a sweet syrup, which they use to coat their apple in protective layers. This syrup exudes an enticing aroma, captivating Dipplin’s opponents and serving to either impede or engulf them.
#1011.5 - As Dipplin age and grow stronger, the pair of wyrms eat away at their home fruit, producing more and more layers of syrup until they live in a “apple” made entirely of successive layers of hardened syrup. So much fragrant syrup creates an irresistible lure to other wyrms, who join up with the initial pair to create a powerful colony of up to seven syrpents (fully mature wyrms) lead by he head syrpent, the former fore-wyrm. Captive Dipplin must be taught the move Dragon Cheer, which they can perform to attract other nearby wyrms to join their colony.
Named: Applin - Dripplin - Dipplin - Syrapple - Hydrapple

#032.5 - Young Nidoran♂ prefer to avoid encounters with potential predators, and will flap their large, powerful ears like wings to listen to distant sounds. Though Nidoran♂ are small, they are capable of defending themselves with the venomous barb on their heads. As they age, both their body and their venom grows more potent, and Nidoran♂ will become more aggressive, charging at their attackers with their venomous horn. Trainers should be wary of the increasing barbs on their backs, which will bristle up at the first sign of a hostile presence.
#033.5 - Nidorino possess a horn that is harder than a diamond, which only sharpens and grows longer with age. Like their female counterparts, Nidorino bulk up considerably as they mature, and must utilize their newly grown tail as a balance as they adjust to walking bipedally. Once fully grown, their tail will be an incredibly powerful appendage, capable of easily breaking bones if an enemy is bound by it. Maturing Nidorino often spar with Nidoking and Nidoqueen, learning new moves and toughening up their hide. When separated from the rest of their community, Nidorino require the energy from a Moon Stone to aid in evolution. 
Named: Nidoran♂ - Nidoro - Nidorino - Nidorince - Nidoking

#755.5 - Morelull are nocturnal Pokemon that walk around at night on their leg-like roots. Because they suck all the nutrients from the surrounding soil, they must keep moving or else cause nearby plants to wither. Though relatively weak, Morelull can release bright, glowing spores, which have a soporific effect on anyone caught looking at their pulsing lights. Their influence over those who stare at their spores increases as they age and their mushroom caps further grow and develop; entering a forest full of Shiinotic at night is a treacherous prospect. 
Named: Morelull - Cresmini - Shiinotic

#371.5 - Bagon live in rough terrains with cliffs and rocks. They're born with an innate desire to fly, and are often found jumping off cliffs trying to do so, and then smashing their head against large rocks in frustration when their attempts fail. This process of continually bashing their heads causes the bone-like plating atop it to become as hard as steel. As Bagon age, that plating will begin to spread onto their body, and will grow to encompass all but their limbs. Eventually, the weight of the growing structure forces them onto four legs.
#372.5 - Shelgon lurk deep within caves, most of their time spent motionless, neither eating or drinking. Inside their rough, armored shell, Shelgon’s body has been undergoing rapid changes. Though their armored body protects them from attacks, it is heavy and cumbersome, making these Pokemon somewhat sluggish. Shelgon's fervent dreams of flying has caused wings to develop within their shell, and they wait eagerly for the day their wings will be flight-ready. They outgrow their armor with age, but the heavy armor won't fall off their backs until their wings and the rest of their body has finished growing.
Named: Bagon - Helgon - Shelgon - Wyrmalys - Salamence
#373 Mega - When equipped with Salamencite, a Salamence who has a strong bond with its Trainer is able to transform into Mega Salamence! The boost in energy from Mega Evolution causes Salamence to become sturdier, faster, and more powerful. Their shell expands, allowing them to tuck their forelegs inside to become more streamlined for flight. Their wings - the pride and joy of any Salamence - lengthen and set in place; anyone standing in their path get sliced right in two. The Mega Evolution process is stressful for Salamence, so Trainers must carefully monitor their Pokemon.

Quick redo time! I've updated the artwork for both the [Old Version] of Voltyke and Mega Manectric. New Future Pokemon IPP for you on Monday.

#111 Baby - Rhyhorn eggs are heavy and rock-like, protected from, and blending in with, the harsh, rocky environment that Rhyhorn and Rhydon live in. The newly hatched calves are born without horns, but will begin to develop a tiny stub within a few months that will soon grow into a sharp point. Born with a thick, protective hide, Rhyhorn calves are able to practice charging and smashing things without fear of hurting themselves. Young calves are often guarded by female Rhydon, who must keep a close eye on the strong, but dimwitted younglings.
#111.5 - Rhyhorn hide is made up of thick, rocky plates, which protect them from environmental hazards and allow them to live easily in rough terrain. Rhyhorn spend their days and nights grazing, only sleeping during the hottest part of the day. They possess a small brain and have a very one-track mind. Once they begin a charge, they are unable to turn due to their short legs and will instead rush headlong into anything in their path. Rhyhorn mature slowly, developing longer limbs (and their intelligence) over time. Their instinct drives them to charge until their able to stand upright properly, though it takes a good amount of time for them to properly balance their heavy weight.
#112.5 - Rhydon walk skillfully on their hind legs, and are more intelligent then their pre-evolutions. Protected by their armor-like hide, they are capable of living in molten lava of 3,600 degrees. Not all Rhydon evolve. Only individuals who have pushed their protective hide to the limit - by living deep within volcanoes or through feats of great strength and violence - will begin to evolve into Rhyperior. For Trainers looking to evolve their Pokemon, giving a Rhydon a Protector has been shown to produce the same effect. Maturing Rhydon are much wider and heavier than their unevolved brethren, making them a true force to be reckoned with in battle.
Named: Rhynub - Rhyhorn - Rhysaur - Rhydon - Rhyzerker - Rhyperior

#116.5 - Horsea live in the ocean, where they make nests in the shade of corals in an effort to avoid their natural predators. If they feel threatened, Horsea will reflexively spray a dense black ink from their mouth and try to escape; if attacked by a larger enemy, they can quickly swim to safety by adeptly controlling their dorsal fin. Horsea can also utilize their ink blasts to shoot down flying bugs with precision from the surface of the water. As Horsea grow, they develop poisonous spines that grant them additional protection. By spinning their body, a fully grown Horesea - a Seadra - can generate a strong whirlpool that swallows prey down into the depths. 
#117.5 - Seadra are very capable swimmers, and can even swim backwards by rapidly flapping its winglike pectoral fins and stout tail. The males raise the young, which they protect furiously with their toxic spikes. Seadra’s cells contain the presence of a gene not found in Horsea, believed to be the traces of a ancient draconic heritage. By moving down to the deep ocean floor, the additional pressure causes this gene to awaken, sparking the evolution into Kindra. As these Seadra age, they build their energy in the ocean depths, and are said to be able to create giant whirlpools by merely yawning. Trainers hoping to evolve their Seadra can expose them to a Dragon Scale, in an attempt to awake their dormant genes without the prolonged, undersea pressure.
Named: Horsea - Seapent - Seadra - Prindra - Kingdra

#167.5  - Spinarak are patient hunters, spinning a web out of thin but durable silk and holding still for days as they wait for unsuspecting prey to wander close and get trapped. As they mature and grow larger, Spinarak will begin to seek out prey and constrict them with their strong webbing. Clever Spinarak will attach silk to their prey and set them free, later to track the prey back to their nests. The nerves at the tips of these Pokemon’s legs, used to sense minute movement on their webs, become so strong as they age that they no longer need their last pair, which begin to recede onto their backs.
Named: Spinarak - Araknit - Ariados

#580.5 - Ducklett live along fresh water sources, where they spend most of their time in the water. They are better at swimming than flying, and are excellent divers; if attacked, they will splash a spray of water to make their escape. As Ducklett evolve, they become more competent fliers, with mature Swanna able to fly for thousands of miles. Groups of Ducklett and Swanna gather for dancing at dusk. The leader of the flock is will be the Swanna dancing in the middle.
Named: Ducklett - Gooselle - Swanna

#133.52 - Eevee are easily influenced by their environment, and can evolve into Jolteon in several scenarios; such as living in a place where thunderstorms are common, living near power plants, or even living among a community of electric type Pokemon. Eevee's cells will begin to absorb the electricity around them, powering up the cells and causing them to begin generating their own low level of electricity. The static causes their fur stand sharply on end, and can be launched like needles if threatened. Pokemon trainers looking for a Jolteon can frequently expose their Eevee to a Thunder Stone.
Named: Eevee - Sparkeon - Jolteon
#135 Baby - Eevee are unique Pokemon that have an unstable genetic makeup. Their DNA can be altered through numerous environmental stimuli, and in some cases, through successive generations of breeding. ‘Baby Jolteon,’ colloquially known as Voltee, can occasionally be found in areas where it is evolutionary advantageous to be an Electric-type, as long as there is a strong population of Jolteon present. Though they are technically still infant Eevee, these young pups have DNA that is near identical to Jolteon, resulting in younglings that not only closely resemble Jolteon, but will also evolve naturally into Jolteon without exposure to a Thunderstone or further electric stimuli. These Jolteon pups are able to generate a very small amount of electricity, and aren’t equipped to handle large voltages without shocking themselves. Their fluffy fur often stands up with static.
Named: Voltee - Jolteon
Other completed Eeveelutions.

iirc, Iron Valiant was said to be based on both Mega Gardivoir and Mega Gallade, so good luck if you plan on doing that.
Yeah, it is based on both! I do have a plan for it, but it'll be extra work for me. I haven't started it yet, but I'm getting into more future Pokemon now, so I'll tackle it before tooo long.

#220.5 - Swinub prefer to live in frozen tundras, but will wander into more temperate areas in search of food. They possess an astute sense of smell, and are excellent foragers even when the ground is frozen or covered with a thick snow. They will search far and wide for their favorite food, mushrooms that grow under dead grass. Swingress, the mature form of Swinub, are just beginning to develop tusks made of ice, which help them with foraging and fighting. Their increased bulk and longer, thicker coat, allows them to travel further into the cold mountains with ease, and they are often seen traveling alongside both Swinub and Piloswine in herds. Though gentle-natured as Swinub, Swingress will begin to act more reckless and aggressive as their fur begins to cover their eyes. [Old Version]
#221.5 - At home in icy mountains and frigid regions, a maturing Piloswine can use its powerful tusks to dig up food buried under thick ice. Their longer tusks also make them a much more capable and intimidating combatant. This Pokémon’s thick, shaggy coat of fur begins to take on the dense, woolly texture of their final form, helping  them to endure even harsher climates and snowfall. Piloswine can grow to be quite large in the wild, requiring the cold, rugged terrain of the snowy mountains to continue their evolution into Mastosk and later, Mamoswine. Extensive training of the move Ancient Power with a captive Piloswine can also trigger evolution, but a cold climate is suggested for a Piloswine’s best health. Rising global temperatures since the Ice Age make fully evolved wild Mamoswine a rare sight in modern times.
Named: Swinub - Swingress - Piloswine - Mastosk - Mamoswine
