Summary
- Pokemon fans enjoy creating regional forms, like for Phantump and Trevenant, combining different types and abilities.
- The regional Trevenant is described as being more intimidating after punishment by a Legendary Pokemon.
- There are many examples of creative regional forms shared by the Pokemon community, showcasing impressive designs.
A Pokemon fan has created regional forms for Phantump and its evolution, Trevenant, and shared the result online. Introduced in Gen 7 with the release of Pokemon Sun and Moon, regional forms have become a very popular theme among Pokemon fans. As a result, there are often impressive works imagining even more regional forms than those that officially exist.
The Pokemon franchise has four regions with regional forms, the most recent being Paldea, the setting for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Ironically, although it is a feature that has been present in the franchise for some time, the list of Pokemon with a regional form is not long, and several have yet to receive this alternative design. This time, a talented Pokemon fan expressed their creativity with one critter, giving it a makeover that hasn’t gone unnoticed by other fans.

A Pokemon Legends: Z-A fan wastes no time after spotting a Hex Maniac in the game’s teaser, crafting an impressive cosplay based on her redesign.
Redditor ArkhamLegion showed what it would be like if Phantump and Trevenant had regional forms. Phantump, one of the Gen 6 Pokemon, appears with a slightly grayish mask, while its body is made up of bright red and orange flames. According to the lore they created, the pocket monster gains these colors when struck by lightning, and the result is a combination of different types, with this Phantump being a Ghost/Fire-type with the Natural Cure ability, and the hidden Flame Body ability. The artist also shows what the shiny variant of this regional Phantump would look like.

The same goes for Trevenant, which has been given a regional form that makes it even more intimidating. Its body is a slightly faded brown, and the other parts of the monster are a bright shade of orange, including the horn-like branches on its head. The artist’s lore says this regional Trevenant has been punished by a Legendary Pokemon, and sentenced to be struck by lightning, hence the mark on the Pokemon’s body. This Ghost/Fire-type’s ability is Lightning Rod, while its hidden ability is also Flame Body. They also show what the shiny regional Trevenant would look like, and the color palette is just as impressive as the regular variant.
ArkhamLegion’s work is impressive, and one of many regional form ideas the community often shares. There’s no shortage of examples, such as the player who created a regional form for Tinkaton’s evolutionary line, giving the popular pocket monster a design using references from other Pokemon. Another player went a mile further and caught the eye by creating regional forms for 13 different Pokemon, showing inventive designs for characters such as Snorunt, Cottonee, and Applin, demonstrating just how far the creativity of Pokemon fans can go.
