"fakem0n" Concept LoRA

Trained on ~1,250 pieces of official transparent creature artwork, each captioned with a structured tag string plus a purely visual description. The LoRA learns the tag vocabulary, so prompts work best when you follow the same slot order the captions used.

Trigger word: fakem0n — always put it first. Without it the LoRA barely engages.

How to build a prompt

Every training caption followed the same order. Copy it:

fakem0n → type(s) → form (optional) → evolution stage → body shape → plain-English visual description

Average caption in the training set: 5 tags + about 400 characters of description. The description is the part that does the heavy lifting — the tags steer the broad category, the sentence decides what the creature actually looks like.

Working example:

fakem0n, fighting, final_evolution, shape_humanoid, A humanoid creature with four well-muscled arms, bluish-gray skin, red eyes, and three brown ridges above its eyes. One pair of arms sits in the normal position and a second pair is attached directly above at the shoulders. It has black markings resembling briefs, a golden belt, muscular legs, and two-toed feet.

1. Type tags

Use one, or two for a dual-type creature. About 55% of the training set was dual-type, so two types is completely normal. Order matters a little: the primary type came first in training.

🔴 normal · 🔥 fire · 💧 water · ⚡ electric · 🌿 grass · ❄️ ice 👊 fighting · ☠️ poison · ⛰️ ground · 🕊️ flying · 🔮 psychic · 🐛 bug 🪨 rock · 👻 ghost · 🐉 dragon · 🌑 dark · ⚙️ steel · 🧚 fairy

All 18 are well represented, from ~67 samples (ice) to ~171 (water).

2. Evolution stage tags

Exactly one per prompt. This is the strongest lever on complexity and size — basic skews small and simple, final_evolution skews large and ornate.

• basic — first stage of an evolution line (~367 samples)

• middle_evolution — middle stage (~125)

• final_evolution — last stage of its line (~488)

• standalone — does not evolve at all (~277)

3. Body shape tags

Exactly one per prompt, prefixed shape_. Comes from the source Pokédex body classification, so it is a coarse silhouette hint rather than an anatomy description.

• shape_upright — bipedal, standing tall (~268)

• shape_quadruped — four-legged (~248)

• shape_humanoid — human-like proportions (~192)

• shape_wings — winged, bird-like (~107)

• shape_arms — arms, no distinct legs (~64)

• shape_ball — spherical (~63)

• shape_fish — fish-like (~59)

• shape_blob — amorphous (~51)

• shape_armor — shelled or armoured (~50)

• shape_squiggle — serpentine, worm-like (~49)

• shape_legs — legs, no distinct arms (~30)

• shape_tentacles — tentacled (~26)

• shape_heads — multiple heads (~25)

• shape_bug_wings — insect with wings (~25)

4. Form tags (optional)

Only add one if you want that specific silhouette. Leave it out for a standard creature.

Well represented — these actually work:

• mega — sleeker, spikier, more ornate redesign (~95 samples)

• gigantamax — colossal, energy-streaked, dramatically restyled (~29)

• regional_galar (~20) · regional_alola (~16) · regional_hisui (~16) — same creature reimagined for a different climate; usually a full palette and texture change

Thinly represented — treat as flavour, not a reliable switch:

origin · therian · primal · crowned · hero · sky · ultra · complete · eternamax · school · solo · rapid_strike · regional_paldea

Each of these had between 1 and 4 training samples, so the model has seen them barely or not enough to generalise.

One-off variants use the form_<name> convention — form_zen, form_midnight, form_heat, form_bloodmoon, form_terastal and about 40 others. All are single samples. They are listed for completeness; do not expect them to do much on their own.

5. Rarity tags (optional)

• legendary — (~103 samples) pushes toward imposing, elaborate, high-detail designs

• mythical — (~37) similar, usually smaller and more delicate

Writing the description

This is where most of your control lives. The training descriptions were machine- cleaned to a strict style, and matching it gets you much closer to the training distribution:

• Start with an indefinite noun phrase, never a name: "A squat, quadrupedal creature with…"

• Third person, present tense, referring to the subject as it / its

• Only what is visible in a still image — body shape, colours, anatomy, coverings, fur, feathers, scales, horns, claws, tails, wings, markings

• No lore, behaviour, habitat, powers, abilities or measurements. None of that appeared in training, so it is wasted prompt budget

• Concrete over evocative. Training captions say "three clawed toes on each foot", not "fearsome talons"

• One flowing paragraph, roughly 250–650 characters

More example prompts

Dual-type, basic stage, simple silhouette

fakem0n, water, ground, basic, shape_quadruped, A small, round amphibian creature with smooth teal skin and a pale cream underbelly. It has wide-set orange eyes, a broad flat snout, and four stubby legs ending in three blunt toes. A row of small bumps runs down its spine, and its short tail tapers to a rounded tip.

Regional form

fakem0n, ice, steel, regional_galar, final_evolution, shape_upright, A tall bipedal creature plated in frost-rimed metal. Its narrow head is crowned with two swept-back horns of pale blue ice, and heavy angular pauldrons cover its shoulders. Its arms end in three-fingered claws, and a segmented tail drags behind it.

Legendary, ornate

fakem0n, dragon, psychic, legendary, standalone, shape_wings, A large winged creature with deep violet scales and gold filigree along its flanks. Its four wings are membranous and edged in luminous cyan, and a crest of tapering spines runs from its brow down its neck. It has slit pupils in amber eyes, and long forelimbs ending in curved claws.

Minimal prompt — tags only, letting the LoRA fill in the rest

fakem0n, fire, final_evolution, shape_upright

Notes and limitations

• No creature names appear anywhere in the training text. Names were stripped mechanically from every caption, so prompting a specific existing species by name will not summon it. This LoRA is built to generate new creatures in the style, not to reproduce existing ones.

• Descriptions cover appearance only. Anything about behaviour, habitat or abilities was filtered out of training.

• Coverage is uneven across form tags. mega, gigantamax and the three main regional tags have real support; everything else in section 4 is thin.

• Body shape tags come from a coarse Pokédex classification, so shape_armor and shape_arms in particular group together creatures that do not look much alike.

• Source artwork was transparent-background official art, so the LoRA leans strongly toward isolated, full-body, plain-background compositions. Fighting that with a detailed scene prompt will work against it.
