Didn’t have enough time to finish before the end of the Spooky Season, but I’ve been working on revamping the designs for Phido, Vagabones, and Colosskull!  They’ve given me a lot of trouble but I think they’re soooo close. 
I also developed a bit of flavor for them:
Phido are lonely Pokemon who seek companionship.  They steal and horde bones, forcing their restless spirits to keep them company.  It has the ability to phase through walls, but its bones do not.  If spooked, they may discard their bones to flee.  It is generally considered unwise to pick up loose bones, as a Phido may attempt to retrieve them.
As it collects more bones, it evolves into Vagabones.  Vagabones is tormented by the angered spirits whose bones have been desecrated, wishing to be laid to rest.  Their malice gives the Pokemon unique powers, if it can control them.  Because it often acts upon the whims of these spirits, It can often be found wandering aimlessly and without direction, as if indecisive of its destination.
Colosskull has collected the bones of strong Pokemon, giving it their power.  It and its collection of spirits have agreed to use this power to serve as a guardian to lost souls who have not yet departed this Earthly realm.  It can often be found guarding unmarked graves, attacking trespassers of whom it senses ill intent.   However, it has not lost its friendly nature; it makes friends and plays with the spirits it guards.
