I had to add Dracozolt because he’s another Crystal Palace dinosaur that is obviously a little out of place. His top half is raptor-like, while his bottom half is more like a Stegosaurus. Crystal Palace Dinosaur Pokémon

Okay, fossil brushes at the ready, as it’s time to uncover some fossilized fish , fossilized bird and Fossilized dino pokemon. There are arguments that Carracosta is based on the Carbonemys. However, the Archelon has similar “flippers,” whereas the Carbonemys is liken to a modern-day box turtle. Snap, snap! Archeops – Archaeopteryx If the Pokémon and its evolution are both based on the same dinosaur, then I will only include the final form. This will keep the list from being redundant and ensure you get your info.Again, there are a few I didn’t include because they were pushing the edge. One I’d like to mention is Jangmo-o and Hakamo-o. These Pokémon seem to be a fusion of a basic theropod and an Ankylosaurus. But the form is rather ambiguous. Children can play a variety of games including snap, pairs, guess who and create a story. Plus, when space allows, your child can turn over the cards and build a large floor puzzle.

Nidoqueen and Nidoking are Pokémon that I’ve always thought were dinosaurs. Although they are more compact than your average theropod, they still have most of the same features. Lapras – Plesiosaurus Now, that said. I always thought Groudon looked like a large Ankylosaurus who stands on his hind legs. This is open to interpretation, but Groudon does give major dinosaur type vibes. Generation 4

This is the easiest to place. Tyrantrum and little Tyrunt will make any dinosaur lover smile. They are based on the T-Rex – or Tyrannosaurus Rex. The T-Rex is the single most popular dino, so you don’t have to know much about dinos to recognize this likeness. Aurorus – Amargasaurus

Kabutops is also based on an arthropod. I believe he looks a lot like an upright Sea Scorpion or a Eurypterid. These water-dwelling creatures latched onto prey with their pincers, much like Kabutops. Aerodactyl – Pteradactyl

Ah, the Helix Fossil god of the Twitch Plays Pokemon Let’s Play. Omanyte and Omastar are more than just snails. They are actually Cephalopods called Ammonite. Considering these Pokémon are fish fossil Pokémon in the game – believed to be extinct – it’s easy to see that they are dinos. Kabuto – Trilobite

Course characters, stories, songs, videos and worksheets are all integrated to provide pupils with the practice and reinforcement they need for successful learning. There may be “dinosaur” Pokémon that I didn’t list, but if this is the case, they aren’t canonically dinosaurs. They may resemble dinosaurs, but this should also cover 90% of those. What is a Dinosaur Pokémon? My List Explanation I’ve even heard people refer to Bulbasaur as a dinosaur because of his name. But Ken Sugimori – the primary character designer and art director for the Pokémon – confirmed he’s actually based on both onions and frogs. Dinosaur vs Dragon Pokémon Rampardos is absolutely a Pachycephalosaurus. Like the Pachy, Rampardos specializes in headbutting. The two look eerily similar. Even Crandios – the unevolved form – looks like a Pachy. Bastiodon – Chasmosaurus I’m not sure what type of Theropod Haxorus is based on. This creature looks like a Concavenator, Utahraptor, Yutyrannus, and a Carnotaurus, all wrapped up into one. He’s the best of Theropods. Generation 6Kabuto is 100% a Trilobite. The Trilobite is a small arthropod that was only a couple of inches wide. They lived in shallow water and could switch between water and land, just like Kabuto. Kabutops – Sea Scorpion (Eurypterid) Tropius could be based on any Sauropod. But I believe that the Brachiosaurus is the one that it closely resembles. There is a chance that certain Sauropods had fleshy flaps that could have resembled wings. Groudon – Debatable
