Pokemon Fan Designs Gigantamax Form for Feraligatr

Highlights

  • Talented Pokemon fan designs impressive Gigantamax Feraligatr art, sparking imagination among fans for more variations.
  • Gigantamaxing in Pokemon Generation VIII enhances size, strength, appearance, and G-Max move of select Pokemon.
  • Despite improbable official Gigantamax form for Feraligatr, fans can enjoy fan-made designs and catch Water-type Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet.



A creative and artistically talented Pokemon fan is quickly gaining attention after they posted an impressive piece of concept art, positing what it would look like if Feraligatr were to receive a Gigantamax form. The fan-made design, which features a far more ferocious version of the fan-favorite monster than players are used to, is leaving many Pokemon fans wishing for the generational mechanic to be brought back.

Introduced as part of Pokemon‘s Generation VIII, Gigantamaxing is a variant of Dynamaxing, a process which vastly increases a Pokemon’s physical size, strength, and HP. Gigantamaxing includes all of the former, as well as significantly altering the appearance of the Pokemon while giving it access to its ultra-powerful G-Max move. With only a handful of Pokemon able to acheive such a form – totaling just 32 after Pokemon Sword and Shield‘s Isle of Armor DLC – fans have taken it upon themselves to imagine other creatures in the gargantuan style.

Pokemon Fan Designs Impressive Art for Hypothetical Gen 2 Switch Remakes

An artistically talented Pokemon fan comes up with some impressive designs for the Gen 2 Pokemon games if they were to be remade for Switch.

The undoubtedly impressive Pokemon fan artwork comes from a Reddit user called Millagro_art, who posted their fearsome rendition of a Gigantamaxed Feraligatr to one of the site’s main Pokemon pages. A decidedly less cartoony version of the Pokemon, the Gigantamax Feraligatr takes a quadrapedal over bipedal stance, boasting far beefier limbs and claws than its standard counterpart. Along with scalier skin throughout, its red spines have been fashioned to look like spiky mountain ridges. The river-pouring mouth and yellow eyes create quite the intimidating face in a design commentors are saying is better than the best official Pokemon Gigantamax designs.



Feraligatr Fans Create Unique Designs for the Pokemon

In addition to receiving a Gigantamax design, the Water-type Pokemon has been given another generation-locked evolution by a fan. Last year a prolific Pokemon fan artist created a Mega Evolution design for Feraligatr, along with the final forms of fellow Gen 2 starters Meganium and Typhlosion. This rendition stuck a bit closer to Feraligatr’s original design, while still substantially bulking up the Pokemon’s frame along with a few other design tweaks. While its unclear if the Mega Evolution or Gigantamax version would fare better in battle, both designs are widely considered by fans to be well-made.


Considering most evolutionary gimmicks last only a single Pokemon generation, it’s highly unlikely Feraligatr will ever receive an official Gigantamax form. However, current Pokemon fans can now catch (regular) one of their very own if they wish, as Totodile, Crocnaw, and Feraligatr are available in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet thanks to the titles’ Indigo Disk DLC.
