the yotey + yipyoti + latransoul evolutionary line!!

@alexanders-pokemon-adventure i know you already drew your idea of them but I already had this commission in the works before you even drew your concept lol...sorry. i like your art too though!!

will post more info about these three later.

Based on coyotes.

Pure fire type starter for the first two evos, then ends up fire/ghost.

For yotey: The name is derived from coyote.

For yipyoti: "Yip," a word for the most common vocalization coyotes make + "yoti" derived from coyote.

For latransoul: "Latrans," part of the scientific name for coyotes + "soul."

Yotey are happy to enthusiastically sing along with any music they hear, anything from smooth classical to raucous heavy metal. If they can find a tune, they’ll howl along. Different yotey have differing musical tastes. They’re also happy to use their fire to help warm up the meats they eat, which is what all members of this line do in the wild in their packs.

Yipyoti get a very bad rep, even worse than stemkuma do. They roam semiurban areas scrounging for food scraps and sometimes threaten people’s pet pokémon, so some humans say the world is better off without them. In truth, they play an important role in the ecology of Leeno, sensing when a forest needs a wildfire so it can regrow back better and keeping down small pokémon populations, promoting biodiversity.
