While it's not the most popular creature in the world of Pokemon, one fan artist from the community has designed an unofficial mega evolution for Shuckle. This piece of fan art is as adorable as it is funny and represents just one of many custom mega evolution designs that Pokemon fans have been sharing lately, with the recent reveal of Pokemon Legends: Z-A rekindling interest in the already-popular mega evolution phenomenon.
Artist Creates 4 New Pokemon

A brilliant fan artist from the Pokemon community has recently shared some of their own custom creature designs, with some of their latest works showing off new pre-evolutions for existing Pokemon as well as hypothetical «infected» Pokemon that have been affected by Pecharunt's Toxic Chain. The assortment of new creatures and concepts introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violethave led to an influx of fan art from the Pokemoncommunity, with Paldean variants and Paradox Pokemon themselves being largely responsible for inspiring countless new custom creature designs.
While Scarlet and Violet's range of weird and wonderful Paradox Pokemon have been particularly popular among players, prompting many to imagine what their own personal favorite critters might look like as Paradox Pokemon, player creativity often produces many other types of designs as well. Baby Pokemon are one example, with the relatively small variety of official pre-evolutionary Pokemon leading some to expand on the idea themselves and create baby versions of all sorts of other Pokemon that fans are familiar with. There's also the existence of regional variants, with many examples from the Hisui region in particular inspiring fans to create many of their own similar designs.
Such fanmade Pokemon content remains extremely popular among much of the community, and one artist known online as Mercury Ball, or PhantomLink2782 on Reddit, has recently shared a batch of their own awesome designs. These include two new baby Pokemon, with Lilck intended to be the pre-evolution to Lickitung and the adorable Psyquak being the evolutionary precursor to Psyduck. Each of the designs shared by this creator is complete with its own Pokedex entries, abilities, shiny versions, stats, and more.
The artist also designed new Toxic Chain forms for Pikachu and Typhlosion, which offer a glimpse at what these critters might look like if they were affected by Pecharunt's Toxic Chain like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Loyal Three trio were. While the designs exhibited by this group of legendary Pokemon generated no shortage of debate when they were revealed, the trio has gained a fair bit of popularity since.
With Pokemon Day fast approaching, speculation has been running rampant among the Pokemon community over the past few months in light of various leaks and rumors. The rumored possibility of a new Pokemon Legends game has resulted in artistic fans working on new designs inspired by the variants seen in the popular Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and while many fans have had their fingers crossed for a sequel to the title for a while now, players will have to wait for the Pokemon Presents event on February 27 to know for sure what the future of the franchise holds.
