ThePokemonfan artist shared their handiwork on social media with other trainers, who complimented them on their creativity with each Paradox Pokemon.
Introduced inPokemon Scarlet and Violet, Paradox Pokemon are an alternate take on previously established creatures. With each Paradox Pokemon taking on a Past form inPokemon Scarlet, or a Future form inPokemon Violet, Paradox Pokemon can have different types from the creatures they take their designs from. However, somePokemonsuch as Donphan have had both a Past Paradox and a Future Paradox form, with Great Tusk and Iron Treads as the respective new forms. The popularity ofParadox Pokemon has extended to Five-Star Tera raid battlesinPokemon Scarlet and Violet, which appear periodically for a limited time.
As Pokemon fan artists have continued to create Paradox designs, one Pokemon trainer threw in their contributions. A Redditor named Phiscisart shared 18 different Paradox Pokemon designs on the r/pokemon subreddit, with nine Past and Future Pokemon designs each, including a bonus form change for one particular critter. For Past Paradox Pokemon, Phiscisart remade Gliscor, Heliolisk, Wishiwashi, Eiscue, Dewgong, Smeargle, Bouffalant, and Lairon, witheach Pokemon representing one game generation each. They were given names such as Diving Claw and Plumed Shell, which corresponded to the naming schemes inPokemon Scarlet. Wishiwashi’s Paradox form, Dreadful Colony, was given a Single Cell and a Multicellular form based on Wishiwashi’s Solo and School forms inPokemon Sun and Moon.
Pokemon Fan Artist Creates 18 Incredible Paradox Forms
For their Future Paradox roster, Phiscisart chose Pokemon such as Torterra, Noivern, Ledian, Tentacruel, and Golurk as the templates for their designs. Each Pokemon featured the Iron prefix in their name and had robotic designs. Phiscisart stated that their art of various Paradox Pokemon were part of an ongoing project called Beyond Paldea. However, Phiscisart stated their project was not finished yet, as they had one more Pokemon left to finish their quota of creating two Paradox Pokemon designs per generation. In response,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetfans complimented Phiscisart for their drawings, with some stating that Phiscisart’s work could be considered officialPokemonart. What creature Phiscisart will choose for their nextParadox Pokemon designremains to be seen.
