Pokemon fusion art is a popular subgenre of fan art, with a Reddit user recently creating a well-executed example.
The fusion art combines the major features of both Pokemon, resembling Mew more but with Magikarp’s skin color and tailfin.
The fusion art has garnered over 500 upvotes and fans are suggesting the artist create sprites for the game Pokemon Infinite Fusion.

An imaginative and talented Pokemon fan has created a unique piece of art which fuses Mew and Magikarp together, creating a rather unusual yet interesting result. Pokemon fusion art is one of the more popular subgenres of fan art for the long-running franchise, with the Mew and Magikarp fusion being the latest well-executed example.

Mew and Magikarp were both introduced as part of Pokemon‘s very first generation, and are commonly associated with their far more powerful offshoot and evolution, respectively, in Mewtwo and Gyarados, although Mew’s moveset in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet makes it much more useful in battles than Magikarp.

The impressive Pokemon fusion fan art of Mew and Magikarp comes from a Reddit user named OldGeezer247, who posted their work to one of the site’s major Pokemon forums. The artwork excels at combining the majority of the major features of each Pokemon, although it more closely resembles the former as opposed to the latter. The fusion art largely keeps Mew’s form intact, but replaces its skin color with Magikarp’s reddish hue. Magikarp’s tailfin can be seen at the end of the tail, along with Magikarp’s exaggerated barbels and crown-like dorsal fin on its head.

The starkest change from a Mew to a Mew and Magikarp fusion is the eyes. While Mew normally has very large blue irises – as seen in one fan’s incredibly realistic Mew doll – this fusion fan art replaces them with Magikarp’s tiny black pupils, giving the aptly named “Mewkarp” a bit different of an expression. Many other Pokemon fans appear to be enjoying the artwork, which has garnered well over 500 upvotes within a few hours of being posted. The post also includes a second piece of fusion art, which combines Gastly and Wooloo to create “Gastwool.”

While combining Mew and Magikarp may seem like a random pairing, another fan came up with a nearly identical concept, but with a much different result. A fan created Pokemon fusion art of Mewtwo and Magikarp, but as a three-dimensional sculptured model. This fusion leans a little more heavily into Magikarp’s traits, creating quite the strange result which the artist themselves labels as “cursed.”

Several comments on the above Mew and Magikarp fusion fan art post suggest that the artist should create sprites for their fusions in Pokemon Infinite Fusion. For those who may be unaware, Pokemon Infinite Fusion is a fan-made game which essentially does what its title says: allowing players to fuse together different Pokemon in a seemingly infinite number of combinations. The game has reportedly spiked in popularity in recent months, further strengthening the popular concept within the Pokemon fan community.
