A regional Spoink with a new evolution for the region

Alright, last line of 2024. Probably a step down compared to my last line but I definitely needed more silly/derpy mons or cute mons for the region. And this line wasn’t planned to be a regional variant, but ended up as a regional Spoink line. But with that out of the way time to actually describe these guys

So these guys are based off of how pigs are known to hunt truffles. But instead of finding truffles, they instead find the wrong type of mushroom and find the mushrooms that make you trip out and hallucinate

No need to explain Spoink’s name, but on their first stage as Spoink, they are constantly in a state of paranoia from the voices they hear and the things that they see

And then Spoink evolves into the new Swinocybe. Swinocybe is swine and psilocybe combined. And psilocybe is from psilocybe cubensis, which would be better known as “magic mushrooms”. Now that Swinocybe has evolved, they have gotten used to what the mushrooms make them see and hear, and now just completely enjoy the things they are hallucinating. For example, if you threw a Guzzlord or something massive and intimidating, Swinocybe will be completely unfazed and maybe see something like a giant sentient egg doing the polka or just anything completely random

But that should wrap these guys up. And I want to thank everyone who has upvoted and left any feedback of my posts of this year. And a very special thanks to my artist who brings all my concepts to life @poketrainervb on instagram. I do have one final post planned for 2024, so keep an eye out for that. But as always, I hope you guys enjoy the final line of this year!
