Unleashing the Mighty Dragon: Astonishing Transformation of Golisopod by a Pokemon Fan

Highlights

Pokemon fan JJonnie has created a dragon-inspired form for Golisopod, called Golisorus, which retains aspects of the original design but adds a dragon-like neck and wings.

There are two variations of Golisopod: one retains its original colors, while the other is a shiny version with red accents and green scales. This new form is considered a Bug/Dragon-type Pokemon and possesses the special ability to decrease the magnitude of damage inflicted by attacks. The Pokemon fandom frequently showcases their creativity by producing remarkable fan art and conceptualizing alternative typings for various Pokemon species.

Golisopod, a Bug/Water-type Pokemon, made its debut in the seventh generation of Pokemon games. It evolves from the small Wimpod at level 30 and takes inspiration from crustacean creatures, resembling a lobster with a gray armor.

A Pokemon enthusiast, JJonnie, reimagined Golisopod as Golisorus, a dragon-like creature with formidable armor. The fan art strikes a perfect balance between honoring the original design and incorporating new elements. Golisorus retains its original face and armored scales, but now boasts a lengthy dragon-esque neck and wings-like arms. This captivating monster comes in two forms: the first stays true to the original colors, while the Shiny form displays red accents on the head and light green scales instead of gray. As a result of this transformation, Golisorus becomes a Bug/Dragon-type Pokemon, bearing the special ability, Multiscale. Introduced in Generation 5, Multiscale effectively reduces damage suffered from attacks. JJonnie even delves into the potential in-game acquisition of Golisorus, suggesting that it could be obtained by accepting a Wimpod from Champion Iris, the esteemed Gym Leader of Opelucid City's Gym, and evolving it.

JJonnie has an extensive portfolio as a Pokemon enthusiast, contributing numerous designs to the community. Among their recent creations are highly impressive works, including a unique Bug-type Eeveelution, a Grass-type Regi, and an intriguing Flying-type Groudon named Groundora. Notably, JJonnie's Groundora stands out as one of the artist's most captivating Pokemon fan art pieces.

Besides altering a Pokemon's type, another popular theme in fan art is the creation of new Paradox forms, introduced in the series' Scarlet and Violet editions. For instance, an artist conceptualized past and future Paradox forms for Phanpy, taking the adorable elephant-like creature's design in two distinct directions. The first, named Tiny Tusk, portrays a fierce yet diminutive Ground/Fighting-type mastodon. Conversely, Iron Hose is an Earth/Water-type, depicting Phanpy as a robot-like creature adorned with glittery accents and featuring a massive hose for its nose.
