Made a fakemon for a podcast I was on this past week!

Meet Snatchem, a ghost/electric type!

Pokédex entries:

Snatchem, the Abandoned Pokémon. Snatchems were all once different Pokémon and owned by trainers but were left in their Pokéballs for too long. Their physical form decays, leaving nothing but their spirit and data behind.
Snatchem, the Abandoned Pokémon. Snatchem are extremely faithful creatures, not leaving their Pokéballs even if they’ve been left behind by neglectful trainers. After being caught by a new trainer, it may take time for it to warm up but it’s guaranteed to be a friend for life.
Snatchem, the Abandoned Pokémon. Snatchem are rumored to try and catch wild Pokémon themselves. Some say it’s to find a physical body once more. Each one seems to target specific Pokémon, maybe alluding to what it was in its previous life

Other Stuff:

Based on the theory I have that people found a way over time to convert Pokémon into data (hence why they can be put into PCs)
They’re always in regular Pokéballs when you find them in the wild
When you catch them, you’re catching the spirit part, not the Pokéball (it’s just a shell)
It changes, based on what Pokéball you catch it with
Catching with a Pokéball will give it its lowest stats, while a Masterball will give it its max stats
Most Pokéballs will have a similar stat effectiveness as an Ultra Ball but maybe effect specific stats differently
Ex. A Heal Ball will make it so Snatchem’s HP stat is enhanced
They can be found like Voltorbs where they’re designed as Pokéballs but trigger a battle animation upon investigating

Check out the podcast! I draw the casts' Pokémon live and they do the same for Snatchem!
