Pokemon Fan Creates Baby Form for Smeargle and New Evolution for Weezing

A talented Pokemon fan artist designed both a baby version of Smeargle and a new evolution for Weezing. When it comes to Pokemon fan art, creating new evolutions, or even pre-evolutions, is a fairly common practice. These genres of fan art are popular as they take familiar creatures and showcase them in unfamiliar ways.

For example, Pokemon like Elekid, Magby, and Munchlax were all introduced in Gen 4 despite being baby versions of Gen 1 pocket monsters. Additionally, both Electabuzz and Magmar received new evolutions in that same generation.

Gazping, Weezing's evolution, gives the existing Poison-type Pokemon a third head and even more toxic powers. Both fan-designed creatures include their own set of stats, abilities, a detailed Pokedex entry, and a shiny variant.

PhantomLink2782 is no stranger to this sort of creation, as they have shared all sorts of pieces with the community in the past. The Pokemon fan created baby forms of Lapras and others, and their work has been met with a lot of positivity from the community. The artist has designed countless baby forms in previous months, but they have since started to focus a bit more on new evolutions as well.

In addition to admiring amazing pieces from talented fan artists like this, the community has been kept busy lately with several waves of DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. With all there is to do in the Indigo Disk DLC, many players are likely still completing Blueberry Quests in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Between all the past starter
