Summary
One extremely talented artist and dedicatedPokemonfan has created three different variants of Delphox. Delphox is the final form of the Fire-type starter Fennekin fromPokemonX and Y. When it comes toPokemon, starters Pokemon are generally popular subjects for fan art, but Delphox is perhaps an overlooked character due to the popularity of another Gen 6 monster, Greninja.
Greninja, the fully-evolved version of the Water-type starter Froakie, is commonly referenced as a popular character as it was still one of the 10most-searched-for Pokemon last year. It doesn’t hurt that Greninja is also prominently featured in the anime as one of Ash’s most powerful team members and even has a spot in theSuper Smash Bros.roster. Still, some artists give Delphox its due.

The Gen 6 starter is certainly having a big summer after recently appearing as a7-star Tera Raid bossinPokemon Scarlet and Violet.Now, Reddit user JJonnie shares their creation of the three different Delphox “witch sisters” in a post asking fans what their abilities should be. While the Pokemon is a Fire-Psychic dual type in the video games, JJonnie imagines what each of the sisters would be like with a different secondary type as well as a new aesthetic overhaul.
Taking inspiration from pop culture witches, each form has a unique style, type, and signature move. Ol’hag is a Fire and Poison-type inspired by the evil witch inSnow White; Malfi is a Fire and Dragon-type that draws its inspiration from Maleficent; Betrix is Bellatrix Lestrange-inspired Pokemon with an Electric secondary type and the special move Eleca Kedavra. Ol’hag’s Poison Apple move is surely taken from the poisonous green apple that the evil witch serves to Snow White, and Malfi’s ability to turn into a pure Dragon-type is certainly a reference to Maleficent’s magical power to transform into a dragon.
It is apparent that a lot of thought went not only into the designs of each of the three forms but their typing and moves as well. From the top down, each sister has extensive care and attention paid to it and could arguably compete with some ofThe Pokemon Company’s best official designs.
What is so great aboutPokemonfan art is that it can shine a new light on underappreciated characters like Delphox. It just goes to show that every Pokemon out there is likely to be someone’s favorite. And withPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s first wave of DLCcoming next month, this might be just the inspirationPokemonfans need to get out there and train their Delphox.
