Finally its here! the new and improved form Bonhowl! (I actually had the sketch waiting in a folder to be finished for months, you can blame the flood for the delay)

003 - Bonhowl
Type: Grass/???
Ability: Leaf Guard
Hidden Ability: Sheer Force
Classification: Guardian Pokémon
Info:

I'm debating if I will keep its typing as a Grass/Dragon, as I don't think its design really suits that anymore so I've left it as a '???' for now as I need to finish the redesigns for the other starters and see if I intend to change the typing for any of them too.

Bonhowl has a very flexible and dexterous tail, basically a 5th limb that can throw the large seed pod it carries, its a dog that can throw its own ball XD

In the Mythvale Region I imagine that schools have statues of these fakemon at their front gates like Lion dog statues (Which Bonhowl is inspired by) as they are known to be protective of the young and the weak, but are also very playful, so they will often be seen running around and having fun with the children that they are protecting.
