Summary
APokemonfan has recently designed a new evolution for Ekans and Arbok, coming up with an amazing result. Ever since thePokemonfranchise started back in the 90s, the community has created Fakemon, which are unofficial creatures that often reimagine monsters in different forms, and this recent fan art is an excellent example of how creative these new designs can be.
Ekans and Arbok were originally introduced inPokemon Red and Blue. The two serpents are among the most classicPoison-type creatures inPokemonand can be found in the wild in various places in different games. Starting at Level 22, Ekans evolves to Arbok, which does not have any official evolution yet. However, this does not prevent fans from creating their own takes on what an evolution of this creature would look like.
Now, aPokemonfan artist called EliDwebster has created a third evolution for the Ekans' evolutionary line. Called Gnikobra, this Poison/Dragon-type monster looks like a huge, black serpent with spiked scales, red eyes, and a menacing symbol resembling a face on its chest. EliDwebster also created the statistics of the new critter and gave it two Abilities: Intimidate and Grim Visage. The design was pretty popular with other fans, and the creator received over 600 upvotes from the community.
Pokemon Fan Art Depicts New Evolution for Arbok
This is not the first time that aPokemonfan has devised a new evolution for Ekans and Arbok. Earlier this year, anotherfan created a Mega evolution for Arbok. In this amazing fan art, the gamer gave the snake Pokemon a spooky overhaul, imagining it as a snake with two heads filled with sharp teeth, including one on its chest.
AnotherPokemonfan designed apast Paradox form for Arbok. In this design, the fan drew a Poison/Ground-type creature, which retained most of Arbok’s original body, but had a completely different tail inspired by a dinosaur. The tail had brown and blue scales and a bi-forked end.
At the beginning of 2024, yet another fan devised anew Arbok evolution called Agan. This snake monster had a big head, a sharp tail, and yellow scales that resembled a crown over its head. When comparing these designs, it’s interesting to see just how creative and diverse fan artists can be when coming up with new takes on the same creature, so the community should be on the lookout for when another talented artist devises one more take on the popular Arbok.
