Stratatonic (Strata + Platonic ~ Catatonic) is a Rock/Ghost Legendary member of the Lightbearer quartet, which are each based on thought experiments. This particular member is based on Plato's Allegory of the Cave: the impish shadow is an illusion that is easy to mistake for the actual creature, the rock slate it is cast onto. Stratatonic is actually quite gentle and meek, but the spark it carries projects its rascally inner desires into plain view.
Its unique ability Projection causes the user's self stat-lowering moves to afflict the target instead, or everyone else on the field in case of a self-targeting status move (although it isn't usually getting to use non-Ghost Curse or Shell Smash). It can also get Unnerve, courtesy of the shadow critter.

Looks like a patank from expedition 33.
Really creative design and ability. Keep up the good work!
This is brilliant and well done, immensely creative. Great job op
Holy moly that’s a good one!!!!
This is such a creative design! And a unique inspiration. I can’t wait to see what other thought experiments you turn into mons 😁
Pokemon based on thought experiments sounds really interesting, so I’m excited to see the ones you make next
ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE????????
# HONKAI STAR RAIL X POKÉMON COLLAB IN THE FUTURE Y’ALL, I FEEL IT IN MY JELLIES
This is such an obscure inspiration if it comes to fakemon, I absolutely love it! The implementation of the idea is really well done and your artstyle is great too! Also love the colour choices!
Some of y’all are just too creative for game freak fr
This is absolutely fucking fantastic I love it.
I’d have one in my party in a second.
I haven’t liked an actual pokemon this much at first glance in like 3 generations lol
T h e. C a v e.
Seriously, this is probably the most creative fakemon design I’ll come across this year. You’ve guaranteed we’ll never see something like this in an official release.
This is insanely good
This is one of the coolest concepts and execution Ive ever seen as a pokemon. Amazing!!
