You were correct with the flareon and umbreon ! Though the espeon was technically based off the GMod missing texture, however it does looks the exact same as the Minecraft one

Some pokemon ocs that i've been rotating around in my brain for a while now
Eevee that couldn't decide what it wanted to evolve into, causing them to glitch out, gaining the ability to shift between evolutions at will and it's best friend: Sylveon who evolved because of it's pure unfiltered love for slaying dragons

did you know? the deathstalker scorpion is also known as the Palestine yellow scorpion, and is widespread throughout occupied Palestine!
want me to model a creature of your choice in 3D, or see how i make things like this? i'll be streaming requests in exchange for donations as part of Drawings for Gaza! we'll be live at the following times:
Monday, Feb 19th at 10PM EST
Friday, Feb 23rd at 2PM EST
Sunday, Feb 25th at 6PM EST
the genocide in Gaza is getting worse every day, and no resistance is too small. educate yourself; call your local representatives; buy eSIMs so people can stay connected; donate to Operation Olive Branch, UNRWA, or PCRF; don't look away, and don't stay silent!

Actually yeah okay I'm going to elaborate. Its not that deep I just want to talk about my reasoning/research behind it. :-]
AMPHIBLUFF
From "amphi-", meaning "both", "on both sides of", "double", etc. and "bluff" meaning "an attempt to deceive someone as to one's abilities or intentions." "Amphi-" also references the main creature that inspired its design, the mythical amphisbaena (not to be confused with the very real lizard group amphisbaenia).
The central ideas behind this design were deceit and confusion, so the dark typing was chosen for its status as the "evil" type in Pokemon, with its emphasis on trickery and malice, and the psychic typing was chosen for its emphasis on the mind and its manipulation/usage of it. I had moves like Fake Tears, Nasty Plot, Confusion, and Trick Room in mind.
A big part of this design's inspiration were the descriptors of someone seen as insincere being "two-faced" or a "snake" (or even a "two-faced snake" :P)...which of course made the amphisbaena the perfect choice as a base ;-]
The amphisbaena is mythological creature often depicted as a snake with a head on both ends rather than a head and a tail (a literal two-faced snake). I'd probably lean into that classic depiction more if I made a pre-evolution, but this specific design draws more on these bird-like versions with legs and wings.
Tumblr media
With the bird element in mind, I decided to draw on secretary birds and bull finches for further inspiration.
The secretary bird comes mostly in the tall tall legs (which I might actually make even longer if I redraw this fella, maybe some sort of reference to telling "tall tales" ?) and the dark wing tips. They're actually most popularly known for hunting snakes (including some venomous ones) via these forceful strikes and stomps with their legs, and I really liked the irony of giving that to a snake-based pokemon. I think it works well for the overall idea of deceit and confusion behind it; it contradicts itself.
Tumblr media
The bullfinch is also incorporated into those dark wing markings, as well as the thick, finchy 'beak' marking around the mouth, but more notably in the pink neck and chest areas. Only male bullfinches actually have this coloration (the females are brown), but I don't think I'd make it a gender difference thing if it were in-game because its not quite as recognizably bullfinchy. Maybe the shiny could be closer to the female coloration?
Tumblr media
Speaking of the colors, some of them are more saturated than I originally intended. Unfortunately, my tablet has a bit of a color problem (I've tried adjusting the settings, but it seems to be a frequent issue with this model from this brand) so I usually have to adjust colors with a correction layer after the fact. I rushed this time and just pumped the saturation up across the whole thing a bit sloppily, but I think for this specific design it actually works because it could be interpreted as batesian mimicry, or when a species imitates the warning signals of another to ward off predators. Amphibluff could be imitating the bright contrasting patterning of a poison type as another defense against predators (another 'bluff') in addition to its false head. Maybe I'll even make a poison type specifically to fill this role later.
Anyway, I wasn't able to find many English sources elaborating on this, but from what I gather, the word for bullfinch in Japanese is the same as the word for lies, and there's a festival known as the Usokae Festival where wooden bullfinches representing lies are exchanged for good luck. As one travel site explains, "Visitors who buy an Usokae bird must think of a ‘lie’ – i.e. something they don’t want to happen – which will in turn be changed to good luck to make sure that thing doesn’t occur by the birds by the end of the year."
I think something similar would be present in the game, but with wooden amphibluff statues instead :-]
Lastly, automimicry (also known as self-mimicry) is a form of mimicry where an animal essentially mimics either its own species or another part of itself. This is where the idea of a false head came from, an example being this gray hairstreak butterfly with false antennae structures on its wings to confuse predators.
Tumblr media
Amphibluff has a fantastical version of this, with its tail being an extremely accurate mock-up of its head. The idea for amphibluff is that it's 'bluffing' so predators won't know which side to go after, and prey won't know which side to avoid.
(How do trainers tell? Only the real head blinks.)
I think it'd also be fun to reference the famous "two guards: one lies and one tells the truth" riddle if it existed in game. Maybe in a short puzzle or maybe just in some random NPC or gym leader dialogue: "...Ancient legends say one of Amphibluff's two heads only speaks in lies, while the other only speaks in truths. ...Modern testing has concluded there was actually only ever one head."
And that's all I think! If anyone has ideas for stats or abilities I'd love to hear them. I love coming up with design and lore stuff but my battle based knowledge is lacking.

If anyone's curious about the pixel art it actually comes from this random spaceship sprite generator! 2020/2021 there was a thing going around where people would try to design creatures based on the sprites.
