No, this isn't a "fakemon".

Honoguma was a fire type starter pokemon in early beta versions of Pokemon Gold/Silver. Although it looks like a Raichu, Honoguma is in fact a bear, not a rodent. Eventually, Cyndaquil took Honoguma's place, and this poor guy became a pokemon that never was. Not much else is really known about him except he may have been given at level 8, and known the typical starting moves (Scratch, leer, ember, and possibly smokescreen, although I'm not entirely sure on the last move).
You are free to use this skin as you please. However, you may not claim ownership of the skin, nor may you upload it to other sites.
Although it was never released, Honoguma most likely is still property of Nintendo/GameFreak. Who knows, maybe someday he'll officially become a Pokemon.
