LOL you kinda already gave the best answers here, haha!

But to try and think of more, I’m thinking obviously ice and ground/rock specialists for vex and lex, and maybe fighting and ghost as a secondary? And Zexion could be psychic/dark.
Aside from zoroark I can see zexion having a Meowstic cos its a lil glarey blue pal, lol. And then maybe Munna cos its sorta illusion-y with its dreams? And mega absol cos it shares his hairstyle. And Malamar just to round out the team.
I can see Vexen having an Alolan Ninetales as his main because its all graceful and intelligent and such. Or maybe Froslass cos well they have a lot in common. Not sure what else except possibly Vexen has a Piloswine and Lexaus has an Aurorus because dual type shipping appopriateness.
Maybe Lexeaus has an alolan dugtrio except it has his hair instead? XD

And totally a Tyranitar or Barbaracle or Aggron or Rhyperior or just some big scary lookin rock type that’s actually a total sweetheart. I’m maybe leaning towards Rhyperior or Barbaracle cos they compliment his colourscheme.

I got overexcited, oops |D

Ice/ghost and rock/fighting sound like perfect set ups for Vex and Lex! (and with Zexion with psychic/dark, then i think the three of them make an elemental rock paper scissors trio? Which ties them all together in playstyle! ) 

I could see someone taking a picture of Zexion with Meowstick and posting it on Heartsbook with the caption “same face”…  And Mega Absol also fits thematically, given Zexion’s spooky reputation as the one Ansem claims started the Apprentice mayhem in the backstory.

Frosslass is perfect. I wondre if Axel would tease Vexen about having an Alolan Ninetails since vanilla!Ninetails is a fire type?

And! What if Lexaeus rounded out his Big Types with a Kangastan? Granted, kangastan is normal type but it’d give him a bit more variety and helps emphasize the ‘scary looks soft nature’ theme you have going!!

there aren’t enough posts going around about the swedish cryptid known as the skvader which is a rabbit with pheasant wings and also a very good boy.

like this one dude just made a fake taxidermy and spread it around as a hoax for a good ass while and it lead to this really cool fantasy creature and i am genuinely dissapointed that it never gets used in anything

THE BOY

Rabbirds, by the amazing @tkingfisher/Ursula Vernon (source).  

The lack of skvaders is particularly frustrating when you realize it forms the third point of a wonderful cryptid trifecta.

You got the jackalopes, which are rabbits with antlers.

And you got the wolpertingers, which are rabbits with antlers and wings.

And then… what? Do you escalate? That’s unbalanced, those two rabbit cryptids don’t have the same number of extra things, the wolpertinger is clearly the jackalope But More.

BUT with the skvader on the other side, balance is restored. Antler rabbit, winged rabbit, winged antler rabbit. It’s a classic Venn diagram of imaginary lapine beasts, and it’s only complete if you acknowledge the fucking skvader.

Good thing Ursula’s got our back, at least.

This is a really excellent point and I applaud your advancements in Cryptid Theory.

Gentleman, if I might add:

yes you may add this

Ok, but they are ACTUALLY cute

There’s a fine line between “pushing yourself out of your comfort zone” and “pushing yourself into a mental breakdown” and we need to fucking find it and stop encouraging people to do the second in an attempt at making them do the first.

A German pedagogue named Tom Senninger developed this model called the “Learning Zone Model.” Senninger talks about three zones: comfort, learning (or growth), and panic. I think that’s really important because some people do talk like anything “outside your comfort zone” is automatically good and brings growth.

But Senninger knows that you can only stretch so far before you’ve stretched too far. Both experience, personal work, and therapy can help expand the first two zones and shrink the third, but we’ll always have that place where panic and/or pain sets in, and our goal should be to recognize and respect that in ourselves and others, rather than force ourselves or someone else to “push through it.” There is no “through it.” The only thing on the other side of the panic zone is more panic.
