Pokemon Fan Designs Baby Forms for Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Suicune

A skilled Pokemon fan has just designed adorable baby forms for Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Suicune. All three of these legendary Pokemon were introduced in Pokemon Gold and Silver, with Ho-Oh and Lugia serving as the cover monsters for the mainline Generation 2 Pokemon games. Meanwhile, Suicune is part of a trio of Legendary Beasts, alongside Entei and Raikou, and was featured on the cover of the updated Pokemon Crystal in 2001.

Like many Legendaries, Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Suicune have all made appearances in the long-running Pokemon anime and its related films, and often inspire fan artists to create impressive works showcasing their majesty and power. For example, one fan designed Past Paradox forms for Lugia and Ho-Oh in the style of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s new variant type, while another made an impressive stained glass portrait of Suicune standing before a lake. Now, a third talented Pokemon fan is taking a smaller, cuter approach to these three legendary titans of Pokemon’s second generation.

Reddit user and Pokemon fan artist rc1246 recently shared their latest series of drawings on r/pokemon, each one depicting a baby form for either Lugia, Ho-Oh, or Suicune. Each cute baby Pokemon variant is depicted as a smaller version of their adult counterpart with larger eyes and some of their physical characteristics not being developed yet. For example, the baby Lugia lacks the retractable dark blue ridges on its back, the infant Ho-Oh only has one row of feathers on its wings, and the young Suicune cub has only one tail.

In addition, rc1246 has created and shared plenty of other impressive Pokemon artwork on their Reddit account, including other baby forms for creatures like Pokemon Black and White cover monsters Zekrom and Reshiram. They have also designed clever fusion combinations like Mudkip and Lucario or Togepi and Toxapex, as well as stunning renditions of classic Gen 1 Pokemon like Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

The Pokemon franchise has always been a rich source of
