This little tiger, Tyker, takes center stage as today's
#BPotD
!
A well-known lost Pokemon rumored to be spotted in both Kanto and Johto over the years, this little electric ball of fluff can be a real handful, but they're extremely lovable.
You've asked, and we'll deliver! We are extending our preorder period for a little over a week!
Preorders will now end on November 10th!
We're also well on our way to our 200 order stretch goal, which'll give us a real nice soft-touch cover to go with the zine~

#BPotD
marks the start of a long evolution line of un-named Pokemon!
This is ID-305, a small, round creature that looks like it's made of snow.

Gorochu has long been rumored to exist, and we've managed to spot one in the wild. Here's hoping we can get a proper photo soon...

Have you seen the test print preview in the quoted tweet? It's looking pretty cool...!
Ohoh, what's Wooper found? Is that an untrimmed test-print of the zine to see how it will look? Let's take a quick sneak peak look through it...
Time's running out to pre-order your own copy!
Straigar was thought to be the last evolution of Tyker, but today's
#BPotD
shows evidence of a third evolution.
We're unsure what the environmental requirements are for its evolution are that's led to this evolution being so elusive, but we're researching to find out!
While not confirmed, today's
#BPotD
appears to be the evolution of ID-315, making its number ID-316.
This bird Pokemon keeps its body curled in a very peculiar way, reminiscent of a treble clef. Perhaps this help it produce some of the most beautiful singing you'll ever hear!
Today's
#BPotD
is a subtle, but notable variant of Hoothoot!
These unique feather patterns make interesting zigzags around their back, perhaps to confuse foes behind it.
Today's
#BPotD
, ID-350, is an odd little creature reminiscent of a rabbit.
We're not 100% sure what the appendages on top of its head are, but we're hoping to study them closely to find out!
Woop! It's time for today's
#BPotD
, Wooper!
This quadrupedal variant is one of the most recognizable lost Pokemon. Just look at that cute little face...
8 Days until Preorders begin on October 1st!
Today's merch preview are two desktop and mobile wallpapers chock full of beta Pokemon designed by
@posebean
!
Today's
#BPotD
brings us Straigar, Tyker's evolution.
This rambunctious tiger hasn't lost any of its energy from its previous evolution, but it's capable of releasing far more electricity!
Only 6 days remain in our extended preorders! They close forever after November 10th!
🌟 BigCartel -
🌟 Etsy (UK) -
We're only 15 orders away from our next stretch goal, which unlocks a soft-touch cover for all zines!
A popular Pokemon from the Sinnoh region, Shinx, is today's
#BPotD
!
These Shinx sport a black tuft of fur on top of its head, as well as lacking the distinctive collar markings most Shinx have.
It's only 1 Day until Preorders begin on October 1st!
We are proud to announce that all profits from this zine will be going to the World Wildlife Fund! While we preserve these lost designs, they're dedicated to preserving real animals.

They're cute, they're round, they're today's
#BPotD
, Pichu!
These variants lack a distinction between its body and head. It's currently unclear why this evolutionary trait appears in this variant.
Regarding Leftover Sales:
We have seen many express interest in leftover sales, and we do plan to have these. These will not be for at least 3 months, as we are waiting until well after the estimated shipment window has passed.
Stay turned for updates!
We've had many people asking if they could still apply for the Zine, and while contributor applications are closed, we are now opening up Pinch Hitter applications for those who missed the original sign-up!
Pinch Hitter Application
Instead of a curl on top of its head, today's
#BPotD
, Cleffa, have a strange protrusion on top of their head.
Perhaps it enhances their connection with the moon and stars?
Another bird today graces us for our
#BPotD
!
Known only as ID-315, this egg-shaped bird sports a cute little feather on top of its head, and loves to sing songs.
Contributor Applications for The LostDex are now closed!
Thank you everyone for taking the time to sign up!
We expect to be emailing results by April 16th, so keep your eyes peeled!
Shh, be very quiet when approaching today's
#BPotD
, ID-313!
These little birds scamper away so quickly on their long legs that it's hard to get a good look at them.
Only 2 days remain in our extended preorders! Tomorrow, November 10th is the last day to preorder!

We've just unlocked our next stretch goal, upgrading our cover to a soft-touch lamination!
Today's
#BPotD
is another unnamed Pokemon, known as ID-402.
These rodent Pokemon have very large ears and what looks like a bead on their neck. Some of our researchers theorize this Pokemon might be able to glide, but no evidence has been seen yet...
The
#BPotD
today is an interesting split evolution for the Nidoran family.
Nidoreign appears to be able to evolve from either male or female Nidoran, with features of both Nidorino and Nidorina present.
It's a little early, but this witchy variant of Murkrow is today's
#BPotD
!
With feathers swooping into a long, droopy hat, some think this inspired tales of witches riding brooms at night.
Your eyes do not deceive you, today's
#BPotD
is a bright pink Marill!
They lack the zig-zag look of their more common variant's tails, but that doesn't stop them from floating in water.
Today's
#BPotD
is a variation of Cyndaquil!
This Cyndaquil seems to have given up its fire to produce spikes on its back instead. Some have said they've seen its spikes look like icicles...
Today's
#BPotD
is a baby Vulpix, Vulpiii!
With only three tails, this young fox lacks much of the strength of its evolution, Vulpix, but with training and growth, it will eventually learn to control flames.
Today's
#BPotD
is a very interesting one. This here is a Bayleef, but it's unlike any Bayleef we've ever seen before.
Perhaps this is a regional variant or a previously unknown forme?
It's hard to believe, but today's
#BPotD
is indeed Giratina!
This variant looks completely different from the well-known Giratina, lighter in colour and sporting colourful jewels on its body.
It's time! Check your emails, Contributor Application results have been mailed out!
Don't forget to check your spam folder. All applicants have been sent an email with their results.
Last, but certainly not least, our final
#BPotD
is this variant of Celebi!
This fall-coloured pixie seems to blend in better during the autumn months, leading some researchers to speculate if they tend to time travel to stay in that season...
Clefairy have always been known to be kind and graceful, but today's
#BPotD
gives us this tough-looking variant.
With extra plating on their limbs and a lack of any hair, these Clefairy can be pretty intimidating!
These bright salmon and pink Furret are today's
#BPotD
!
The tail of these Furret have a distinct point where they join the body, unlike a normal Furret.
Here we have Flambear, the evolution of Cubburn, for today's
#BPotD
!
It's grown to be more quadrupedal, but it still looks like it could give you a real cozy bear hug.

We're only 10 orders away from 200, and our next stretch goal!
This large
#BPotD
is known only at ID-309!
Compared to Trampel, this Pokemon has much larger tusks and sports spines along its back, leading to a much more threatening silhouette.
With longer wings and 8 comb segments to its body, Vespiquen certainly strikes a familiar yet unsettling silhouette as today's
#BPotD
!
Quite intimidating. I certainly don't want to get on her bad side...
Only 5 days remain in our extended preorders! November 10th is the last day to preorder!

Any proceeds from the sale of this zine will be going to the World Wildlife Fund!
Another baby graces us today as the
#BPotD
, a baby Zubat known as Bittybat!
This tiny body sports wings much larger than it seems to need, perhaps to make it easier to glide in caves where strong wind doesn't normally blow.
This variant of Dunsparce is today's
#BPotD
!
These Dunsparse seem a lot more threatening than their more common counterparts. Those markings make it seem like it's got many eyes...
This little fox, known as ID-377, is today's
#BPotD
!
This Pokemon appears to lack hind legs, leading to our researchers curious as to their method of mobility...
We follow up Espeon with today's
#BPotD
, Leafeon!
This variant is quite different from the more well-known variant with root-like legs and a tail featuring multiple leaves.
🌟We've hit 50 orders!!!🌟
Our first stretch goal has been hit! Thank you all so much for your incredible support!
Every physical bundle will now come with 1 random card based on the page art within the zine! Which one will you get, I wonder...?
Today's
#BPotD
is rather well-known around the world.
Warfurs seems to wear a pelt of fur with a pair of false eyes around its body, but it's unclear if the fur is indeed a pelt or just its natural fur...
This unknown regal-looking Pokemon, ID-349, is today's
#BPotD
!
We're still studying whether it's actually related to Arcanine, but no evidence has been found yet.
This variant of Ledian is today's
#BPotD
!
Our researchers mistook these Ledian to be a new form of Ledyba until we saw one evolve into the star-patterned bug you see here.
🌟We've hit 100 orders!!!🌟
Every physical bundle will now come with an added full-art card of Professor Noelle!

First spotted in 1997, this strange Clefairy-like creature takes the stage as today's
#BPotD
.
We've never found another photo of this long lost Pokemon, but we theorize it to be descended from both a Clefairy and a Hitmontop.
Today's
#BPotD
starts us off with a variant of Weedle!
These little guys lack the sharp stingers a typical Weedle has, but you shouldn't assume they're not poisonous...
If you hear the chime of a bell alongside the purr of a cat, chances are you're hearing today's
#BPotD
, Moibelle!
Their bells ring clear and pristine, but Moibelle appear to be able to determine each other's chimes from each other.
Be wary if you're behind today's
#BPotD
!
This variant of Girafarig has a fully developed second head, and that second head looks pretty intimidating...

It may be April Fools, but I promise you, this
#BPotD
is no joke!
These Noctowl have a very interesting arrangement of feathers, reminiscent of a Pidgey. Maybe this allows them to effectively hide within flocks of them...
Today's
#BPotD
is another Sinnoh Pokemon, Hippopotas!
This variant lacks the sandy camouflage pattern its more common cousins have and has eyes far lower on its face. It must be a lot harder to see while hidden in the sand...
The first of the legendary beast trio, Raikou, joins us as today's
#BPotD
!
This variant is much darker in colour and lacks a lot of the ornamentation found on the more well-known Raikou.
Today's
#BPotD
is a bit of a strange one.
Stromen looks a lot like a cursing doll, with a nail through its stomach to match. That can't be comfortable...
Wait, that's Gyarados!?
Today's
#BPotD
haunts my nightmares! These strange Gyarados seem to lack any eyes and instead rely on sound and movement to track prey.
A popular baby Pokemon joins us as today's
#BPotD
!
Coinpur is a baby Meowth that loves to lounge around and sleep. The coins around its head float by an unknown method, but we're hoping to learn more.
This variant of Blissey is today's
#BPotD
!
It sports two pouches for eggs compared to a normal Blissey. Researchers wonder if this allows it to assist more Pokemon at once...
Our only
#BPotD
that's been spotted in Unova is Tubacapra!
With a coat that splits into roots at the ends, we wonder if this Pokemon can get nutrients simply by resting on the ground.
For today's
#BPotD
, we have another Hoenn variant with Torchic!
The way their feathers grow makes them look like they have big ears, but don't be fooled; those are just feathers.
Spearow may be known as a small, tough bird, but today's
#BPotD
introduces us to this much more stocky variant.
They may look rounder, but their ferocity is just as strong as their more common cousins.
Only 5 days remain to sign up as a contributor!
