Pokemon Fan Draws Numel and Camerupt As Grass Types

In honor of Earth Day on April 22, a Pokemon fan artist recreated Numel and Camerupt, two Fire-type Pokemon, as regional Grass-types to suit the chosen theme. The Pokemon fan artist shared their work with other trainers, who complimented them for turning two Fire Pokemon into creatures that resembled dormant volcanoes reclaimed by nature.

Known respectively as the Numb Pokemon and the Volcano Pokemon, Numel and its evolution Camerupt first appeared in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. As a Fire and Ground dual-type Pokemon, Numel can be found in the Fiery Path and the Jagged Pass. Numel evolves into Camerupt, starting at level 33, and gains the abilities Magma Armor and Solid Rock to bolster its defenses. Camerupt was the ace Pokemon of Team Magma's leader, Maxie. In Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Camerupt was one of a few Pokemon that received a Mega Evolution, which gave it the Sheer Force ability and made it a threat against Grass, Electric, and Steel Pokemon.

While Numel and Camerupt can be caught in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, their Fire and Ground-type pairing renders them vulnerable to Water-type attacks. However, one Pokemon fan's redesign would counter this weakness. On Reddit, a user named Poetically_Imperfect, also known as shroodledoodles, redesigned Numel and Camerupt as Grass-type regional variants and shared their work on the r/pokemon subreddit. Numel's body was changed from a light brown to a dark, muddy brown, and two leaves appeared on both its head and the hump on its back. Its eyes were colored green to match its hump, and the shiny version was a more bluish shade. As for Camerupt, its body was covered in grass-like fur, and the blue circles on the side of its body were changed to yellow flowers. The two volcanic humps on its back were changed to resemble cracked flower pots. The Shiny version of Poetically_Imperfect's Camerupt was a darker shade of green with pink flowers.

In the comments, Poetically_Imperfect shared a YouTube video they made
