Reddit user Tonny_Art created new evolutions for Ekans, Krabby, and Cubone, and shared the fan art with fellow gamers. The first design makes an evolution between Ekans and Arbok, which is one of thebest pure Poison-type Pokemon. It gives the Pokemon a different pattern than Arbok while combining Arkbok’s body with Ekans' facial features, giving the new evolution an almost friendly look. Krabby received a design for its evolution, Kingler, where the Pokemon has metal claws and a metal jaw. The spikes on top of its head that resemble a crown have increased in quantity, emphasizing the Pokemon’s imposing aura. Tonny_Art also created a new evolution for Marowak, Cubone’s final form, and it works as a mix of the two Pokemon’s designs, increasing its physical size.
Users of thePokemonsubreddit made several comments praising the fan art, with otherPokemonfans expressing their preference for the Kingler’s evolution, aPokemon with a weird Gigantamax design. Tonny_Art didn’t come up with names for their evolutions, and instead asked other users for suggestions, getting several responses. One of the comments suggested the name Empincher for Kingler’s evolution, giving the idea of a Pokemon more powerful than a king and still crab-related. Another comment suggested the name Eldoon for the Ekans' evolution, and a third Redditor gave the idea of the name Skulpierce for the Marowak evolution.
