Summary
A talentedPokemonfan has made a card with an evolution for Falinks based on their son’s idea. ThePokemonfranchise has introduced more than 1000 pocket monsters over nine generations. Several of them have evolutionary lines of two or three stages, with some cases like those of Charmanter, Togepi, and Eevee among the fan favorites.
But while many critters have other evolutionary stages, there arePokemon with no evolutions, such as Lapras and Mimikyu, which only have one form, and Castform, which changes its form according to the weather but doesn’t evolve. As a result, fans often exercise their creativity to imagine what it would be like if these and other Pokemon without an evolution finally had one. This is the recent case of aPokemonfan who created a new evolution for a pocket monster, showing off the idea in an inventive way.
Redditor lezgobobbie drew a full art card with a new form for Falinks. Named Standafalinks, this newPokemonevolution is based on an idea from their four-year-old son, and shows a monster that appears standing and has armor in shades of grey, blue, and white, whileFalinks' armoris yellow, with red and white details. Making the fan art even more wholesome, their artwork has a custom text with skills and descriptions for Standafalinks.

The critter then appeared on seven more cards, most recently in theStellar Crownexpansion, which hit shelves in September this year and brought 175 new cards for players to collect.
