Summary
APokemonfan has created impressive fusions between Houndoom and Electrode, Gastly and Ditto, and Salamence and Xatu. ThePokemonfranchise is famous for its designs, which range from simple ones like Trubbish and Meowth to more complex ones like Zygarde and Eternatus. But the community is always creating even more Pokemon, and a favorite way for fans to do this is by fusing creatures.
Houndoom is a Gen 2 Pokemon that refers to the idea of a “hellhound” due to its pair of horns, tail, and skull-shaped pendant on its chest. Going back to Gen 1,Electrode doesn’t have the most original design, being a living Poke Ball remembered for its explosive nature. Another first-generation Pokemon, Ditto is distinguished by its ability to become any living creature and object. Gastly, on the other hand, has a darker origin, and its body is composed of poisonous gas and the souls of its victims. Salamence is a draconic Pokemon featured in Gen 3, and Xatu is a Gen 2 Pokemon with the appearance of a totem pole. Showing what it would be like to combine these creatures, a talentedPokemonfan has created three fusions and shared them online.
Reddit user rc1246 combined Houndoom and Electrode, Gastly and Ditto, and Salamence and Xatu, creating three new Pokemon. The fusion between Houndoom and Electrode keeps thedog-based Pokemon designwith Electrode’s colors, and the paws and tail refer to sockets. The design is completed with the Pokemon’s menacing gaze, a pair of horns as ears, and an Electrode-shaped pendant on its chest.
Fan Shows Off Incredible Pokemon Fusions from the First Generations
As well as showing an electrifying version of Houndoom, the artist shares a combo that is both adorable and terrifying, bringing Gastly and Ditto together. They take the form of one of the scariest ghost Pokemon and give it the colors and face of Ditto, creating a sort of “goopy Ditto.“Known for their impressivePokemonfan art, the OP also showed the unlikely fusion between Salamence and Xatu. The result is a four-legged Pokemon with the shape of Salamence’s body and head, while the colors, tail, paws, wings, and eyes are those of Xatu.
Houndoom, Electrode, Gastly, Ditto, and Salamence are Pokemon from the first generation, but fans don’t have to go far to find them, as they are available in thePokemon Scarlet and VioletPokedex. The only exception is Xatu, which isn’t available in Gen 9, and its most recent appearances arePokemon Sword and Shield, andPokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
