Summary
OnePokemonfan has really gotten into the spooky holiday spirit by creating several Halloween-inspired fusions. Fusion is a common type of fan art among thePokemoncommunity, as it takes two or more familiar creatures and transforms them into something epic or even disturbing.
ThePokemonfranchise has no shortage of mysterious Dark-types oramazing Ghost-type designsthat lend themselves to a Halloween theme. Not to mention, some more monstrous fusions can quickly become uniquely grotesque. However, one talented fan has struck the right balance between scary and cool with their collection of fusion fan art.
Reddit user HoundoomKaboom shared their collection of 10 Halloween-themed Pokemon fusions. Mostly, the pieces pair up a Dark, Poison, or Ghost-type with another Pokemon of a different species to create a fusion that feels right at home at the end of October. These aren’t merely products of a fun gimmick either; these creations stack up against some of thecoolest Pokemon fusionsout there. What really stands out is that the artist creates sprites that feel more reminiscent of the earlier top-down games rather than the recent open-world adventures.
Overall, HoundoomKaboom uses 19 different Pokemon to create 10 fusions. The fan combines Garbodor with Muk, Gardevoir with Drapion, Rapidash with Giratina, Eevee with Houndoom, Bunnelby with Banette, Snorlax with Dusknoir, Umbreon with Yveltal, Girafarig with Spiritomb, Typhlosion with Spiritomb, and Sableye with Cofagrigus. The artist appears to be fond of using Spiritomb in their work, as they previously created an epicfusion between the Ghost-type Pokemon and Taurus. They also shared an extremely cool fusion between Spiritomb and Gengar that garnered a lot of praise from the community.
HoundoomKaboom isn’t the only one making Halloween-inspiredPokemonfan art either. Oneartist gave Bulbasaur and Squirtle horror makeoversto celebrate the spooky season. These sorts of fun, themed ideas continue to generate excitement among the community as some talented artists like HoundoomKaboom and others are creating remarkable pieces.
The fun thing about fusions is that they portray familiar creatures in unfamiliar ways. The Pokemon being used to create the various fusions gives artists a solid starting point while still allowing them to show off their creativity and talent. And if there’s one thing thePokemoncommunity isn’t short on, it is talent. Between transforming Pokemon into humans, designing brand new Mega evolutions, and changing the types of various pocket monsters, these artists are providing fans with new ways to look at their favorite Pokemon daily.
