Summary
A talentedPokemonfan has recently designed an Electric/Fighting-type variant for Snorlax, coming up with an amazing result. Ever since the firstPokemongames were released, fans have been creating fan art of the most popular critters in the franchise, and changing their type is one of the most common methods for reimagining classic monsters.
Snorlax is a Normal-type Pokemon originally introduced in the first generation of the games. In the franchise’s early titles, Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations and then captured after it’s awoken. Snorlax is also one ofthe heaviestPokemonin Gen 1, and it’s often cited among the most memorable critters of this generation. During Gen 4, the beast gained a pre-evolution called Munchlax, but it’s not known to evolve into any other creature or have an official regional variant.
Now, aPokemonfan called sirjakobos decided to recreate Snorlax while inspired by the Nordic legend of the god Thor. In this Electric/Fighting-type variant, Snorlax is depicted as a very muscular creature with yellow skin, a large beard, and a huge hammer, which is likely inspired by Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer. The design comes in two colors, one with yellow skin, and a version that more resembles the original colors of the Gen 1 critter. The fan art became quite popular, gaining over 4,200 upvotes from fellow fans.
Pokemon Fan Art Depicts Electric/Fighting-type Snorlax
Due to its huge popularity, Snorlax is often depicted in fan art. A few months ago, for example, one fan designed afuture Paradox form for Snorlax. In this new design, called Iron Screen, the sleepy monster was turned into a metallic Normal/Psychic-type beast with a huge TV on its belly.
In another incredible fan art shared with the community, an artist created anEeveelution inspired by Snorlax. Called Snoreon, this design had a combination of two of the popular critters, and it became very popular with fans.
Snorlax is not the only Pokemon to gain new variants with alternative types via fan art, however, and some lesser-known creatures also have gained amazing designs recently. For example, one fan devised aFire/Poison-type variant for Quilfisha few months ago. In this artwork, the blowfish-inspired Pokemon was depicted as a large, yellow spheric monster that resembled the sun. Hopefully, other fans will continue to imagine unique new takes on both popular and lesser-known creatures, sharing the results of their creativity with the community.
