Nice idea, a nice twist on the Caterpie->Butterfree/
Weedle->Beedrill concept

Yeah, but I just hope that the fact that Unscroo is born underground and makes tunnels doesnt give me trouble, Because Unscroo is in not in any way a Ground or Rock- type(Thats the reason that I said that it didnt learn any Ground moves in the additional info).

The Ground thing is not an issue. What is an issue is the names...all three of them are a bit subpar.
I'm confused by Unscroo's description. The screw is a loop? That's...not at all what a screw looks like...if anything, the body would loop around the screw. or do you mean that the body has a screw thread?
"Metal cocoon" is too long...even if the space were removed.
Yronfly is the same height as Unscroo? Peculiar...the dex has some lines that are too long and others that are too short. Fortunately, though, they balance out so that the wording doesn't have to be changed to make it fit:

Even though it is
made of metal, it
can fly at great

heights. It is
quite rare to find
in the wild.

O.K, all these problems can be solved:

1. Well, the names could be a little more creative, especially Rechained....Im trying to think of a name, but I cant....any ideas?

2. What Im trying to say is that the screw is in the shape of a loop this time, and it loops around the creatures body.

3. "Metal cocoon" can be changed to "chained bug" or "Chain bug". Is that too long? Or maybe we could just put "Chain", "Chains", or "Chained"

4. Unscroo and Yronfly are the same height because Unscroo has a long, wormy body and Yronflys body is a sphere.

Does that solve it?

1. Well, another word for cocoon is chrysalis...perhaps Chrysalink, from the chain links? Not sure about the other two...I'll have to think on it.

2. So the screw is bent around in a circle? How does it "unscrew" itself out of the ground that way?

3. Chain Bug works. In fact, if you're willing to forego the space then ChainedBug will fit, but that's your call. It won't fit with the space included.

4. Okay, I can live with that.

O.K...

O.K, the way that Unscroo "Unscrews" its way out is that it shapes itself like a screw and basically "Unscrews" itself out. Chrysalink works for me, you can change it if you want. And Chain Bug sounds perfect, its great. Another problem?

Well, like I said, all three of your names were kind of poor. I'm having serious trouble coming up with a better one for Unscroo, so I just might let that one pass...but Yronfly's name is awfully similar to Pyrefly's, so there's actual conflict on that one.

Darkwolf

I'd stay away from Metabug. Metabug, Metapod, Metamorph...

*cringes* Two types strung into one word do not make a good name. Being the leading expert on bug types in the factory, I would have to disagree with the idea in general. butterflies, moths, and other flying insects have very little to do with steel in general. This is a dual type that is very sensitive. Bugs are most commanly associated with poison types and steel types are imune to poison. My point is, try a combination that makes sense. I don't know if beetles are overdone, but that would be the best way to go. Otherwise I would consider abandoning this idea completely. Really, how can you get any better than Skizor?

Um, yeah, I'm actually with Darkwolf on this one. Pokmon are quite highly diverse; it should be possible to make decent pokmon of any dual-type. Besides, this idea makes more sense than Forretress does.

Yes, Metabug is out due to similarity with Metapod. However, I can't recommend the Mecha- names either, because Mecha implies the kind of machines that have wires and programming and all that, not living creatures that happen to have steel bodies.
Nailwing is a possibility. I'm not entirely sure about it, because the wings don't resemble nails, but it is the best idea so far, especially since it does have those legs...

Darkwolf

What about...

Titaniug Titaniubug(Both are Titanium+Bug)? Or instead of Yronfly, Yronwing or Yroning? Or Yronbug?

Once again, I would refrain from using the word "bug" in the name. What about Titanilas or Atlithium (Titanium + Atlas Beetle) Mythrlas or Atlyral (Mythral + Atlas) The only hard metal I can think of is Adamentium. Of course the later two are not fictional metals.
