A talentedPokemon Scarlet and Violetfan called El-psy-congroo-01 recently designed a past Paradox form for Lugia based on a plesiosaurus. Called Silver Tide, this design has the Psychic/Water type, instead of Psychic/Flying like the original one. This Pokemon, which comes in both original and shiny versions, looks like a much more feral, ancient form of Lugia. It ditches its wings to look more like a water-based dinosaur with fins and spikes. The design also uses orange as a new color, adding a nice contrast to the original white and blue ones. The shiny version is greatly inspired by Shadow Lugia, an alternate form of the legendary creature that only appears inPokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, which was released for the Nintendo GameCube back in 2005.
El-psy-congroo-01 is fairly prolific withPokemonfan art, having developed several alternative versions of creatures before, such as afuturistic Paradox form for Octillery, a Ghost-type regional variant for Blastoise, and more. In the comments of the post, most Redditors were pleased with the results, which garnered El-psy-congroo-01 over 3,000 upvotes, and some fans were even asking for more versions of legendary Pokemon, such as the Fire-based Ho-Oh, Lugia’s counterpart in the second generation ofPokemongames.
Lugia’s uniqueness often inspires impressive fan-made Paradox Pokemon art. For instance, another popular artist who often designs fan-made Pokemon called HertzBurst created Iron Dive, afuture Paradox form for Lugia. Despite also being a Psychic/Water type just like El-psy-congroo-01’s creation, Iron Dive looks really distinct, embracing the metallic, futuristic looks of a submarine instead of an ancient plesiosaurus while maintaining the same overall design.
