Summary
A talented fan artist from thePokemoncommunity has shared a couple of their own Paradox Pokemon concepts for Clawitzer, showing off what this crustacean species from the Gen 6 games could look like from both past and future timelines alike. Although many like-mindedPokemonfans have been drawing up their own custom Paradox Pokemon designs since the concept of these unique creatures was introduced with the Gen 9 games, the sheer number of distinct species now inhabiting the world ofPokemonensures that creative fans have more than enough material to work with.
While non-official, fanmade Pokemon designs are certainly nothing new, they continue to attract a massive amount of attention from the widerPokemoncommunity, and for good reason. The community is home to countless extremely talented artists, many of which often share their own regional orParadox variants of certain Pokemon, as well as redesigns of existing species which mix up their types, moves, shiny colors, and more. Creative minds within the community have also turned to designing new Mega Pokemon since the surprise reveal ofPokemon Legends: Z-Aback in February.
This time, though, an artist known online as Poetically_Imperfect has shared a couple of new designs featuring Clawitzer. These artworks show off two new Paradox forms for the Water-type Pokemon, including apast-based variant similar to the designs inPokemon Scarlet, as well as a future-inspired Paradox form like those seen in thePokemon Violetversion. The aptly-named “Gnashing Maw” represents the past version, and uses the Water and Dragon-types while its claw takes on the appearance of a massive dragon-like head. The other design, named “Iron Blaster,” instead uses the Water and Fire-types, with its claw taking the form of a cannon that likely spouts superheated water judging by its name and type.
Shiny enthusiasts will also no doubt be pleased to find that the designer also included a glimpse at what the shiny versions of these concepts would look like as well. This Pokemon may often be viewed as a somewhat obscure one due to it being an uncommon species to encounter in thePokemongames that it’s present in, though it’s no secret that many in thePokemoncommunity have more recently turned their attention back to theGen 6 games and the Pokemon they introduced.
Why Many Gen 6 Pokemon Are Getting The Spotlight in 2024
Quite a few Gen 6 Pokemon have recently been the subjects of fanmade redesigns, regional forms, and the like since the reveal ofPokemon Legends: Z-A, which will take players back to a previous era in the Kalos region. Besides the limited details shared in the game’s reveal trailer, though, not a lot isknown about the upcomingPokemon Legendstitle. It’s up to speculation what kinds of Pokemon might appear in it, though fans are hopeful that plenty of new Pokemon species will get their own mega forms when the game releases sometime next year.
