Shuppet is great! Its design is based on a rain charm called a teruteru bozu, basically a cloth tied over a ball, that is hung in windows. It’s in keeping with the tendency for many ghost type Pokemon to be possessed objects (sinistcha/sinistea, clefki, dhelmise) and are relatively easy to understand how the designer thought up the idea. It also ties into shinto and the animus of discarded objects, like with banette (the evolved form of shuppet) being an abandoned doll

My boy Beedrill is based on a wasp with drills for legs, 151 was enough, 151 makes it real 151 makes it safe
Beedril is pretty cool for sure
