Fusions have been a longstanding fascination of Pokémon fans and fan artists. You simply fuse two different kinds of Pokémon in order to create a new one. These were especially more common when websites came up that automatically fused Pokémon together.
Obviously, most fusions come out looking pretty silly. With the power of fan art, though, fusions can actually come out looking awesome. Some of these are greater than the sum of their parts. Here are ten fusions we wish were real in Pokémon. Be sure to check out the artist links, as well!
10 Rapidash And Chandelure
Dragonith is an artist who has not only done a lot of fusions but has also made their own fake Pokémon. This takes a ton of creativity, and the fusions are amazing.
Rapidash and Chandelure are already amazing design on their own. This artist proved that they can be even better when fused as one. After all, no creature is quite as cool as a ghost unicorn. Part of the reason these two work so well together is that fire is a commonality between their separate designs.
9 Lilligant And Gourgeist
We love this fusion because it seems natural, as if it could be an evolution of Gourgeist. It may look so natural partly because this is a fusion between two Grass Types. Also, their silhouettes are rather similar. Lilligant’s gracefulness and Gourgeist’s spookiness come together to create one adorable fusion.
The fusion was made by DrCrafty.
8 Eevee And Cosmog
Cosmog and Eevee make for some of the most delightful fusions we see on the internet. That is because they are both cute! Eevee, in particular, is popular in fusion fan art because it’s already a Pokémon with a lot of forms. It can evolve into so many different types, and fans only want more. We know, without a doubt, that the next time a new Eeveelution is announced, the fandom will explode with excitement.
The fan art was made by Kakiwa.
7 Phantump And Sawsbuck
KingCandyKarp is the artist to thank for this awesome fusion design.
We love this fusion for all the same reasons we loved the Rapidash and Chandelure fusion. These Pokémon had the commonality of being Grass-Type, so their coming together feels all the more natural. Also, deer skulls are just cool! We love how this fusion looks like an angry forest god. It looks impressive enough that it should be a legendary.
6 Vuplix And Cottonee
This is one of those rare occasions when opposite types work. We have a Grass-Type and Fire-Type making for an adorable fusion made by Twime777.
Vulpix has been around since generation one as a Fire-Type. It wasn’t until the Sun and Moon games where we actually got to see region variants and got an Ice-Type Vulpix. So, who knows? Maybe a Grass-Type Vulpix could be in our future as well. If so, we hope it’ll look something like this Cottonpix fusion. We love how fluffy it looks! The real question is, what would its evolution look like?
5 Espeon, Purrlion, And Mismagius
Who said fusions have to be between only two Pokémon? Some artists, like Dragonith, are ambitious enough to mix in three! They even did us the favor by showing us what parts come from what Pokémon in their art. The hat is from Mismagius, the legs are from Purrloin, and the tail is from Espeon.
While this combines three different types, Ghost, Psychic, and Dark, the artist made the fusion look pretty natural. This may be because of their purple colors all working together. It was also named by the artist as “Purrmageon.”
4 Dragonite And Togekiss
This fusion was made by Fumi-LEX, who has a talent for drawing hybrids. Besides this adorable Dragonite and Togekiss fusion, she has also done Mareep fused with Alolan Vulpix, Zorua fused Mimikyu and Sableye, and so much more.
The silhouettes of Dragonite and Togekiss are very different, so the artist did a fantastic job by making their fusion natural looking. The Togekiss colors actually work surprisingly well for Dragonite’s stomach and face. You can actually read more about this fusion online, as the artist made a special profile for it. The fusion actually has a sweet name, Magnolia!
3 Jigglypuff And Meowth
As you can see, the artist took an automatic mash-up design from the internet and creatively made it work in their art. The artist is BelovedBeast, and she has done other fusions such as Pidgey and Ghastly, Gloom and Zapdos, Abra and Venonat, and so much more.
Among the fusions, this is our favorite. A lot of fans would find it cute, but some may also find it creepy with those giant eyes. It reminds us a little of Espurr, whose stare goes deep into the void. In terms of a cat Pokémon, though, we would still welcome it into the fold.
2 Lapras And Corsola
Made by kosmiik, this Water-Type fusion uses both Corsola and Lapras in a very natural way. While Lapras makes for the silhouette, Corsola changed its color, horn shape, and the shell shape on its back.
It looks only a little like a shiny Lapras, which is closer to purple than pink. Lapras is very popular, so having a different region variant may be a good idea in future Pokémon designs. We certainly would welcome one that looked like this fusion!
1 Drifloon And Cherubi
While these two may seem utterly different, they actually mash-up pretty well! The artist who made this fusion art is Erubbu. Like some others we’ve listed, the artist took inspiration from the auto-internet mash-up.
This Grass and Ghost-Type fusion actually looks like it would make a decent Fairy-Type. Maybe its the dollop of cream on its head?
