Summary
APokemonfan has recently designed a Mega Evolution for Sudowoodo inspired by a giant baobab tree. Mega Evolutions first appeared in the sixth generationPokemongames, and have been inspiring fan art since then.
Sudowoodo is one of the most memorable critters fromthe second generation ofPokemongames. Despite looking like a tree, Sudowoodo is actually made of stone, and can originally be found blocking Route 36 inPokemon Gold and Silver. By using an item called Squirtbottle, a player can get the monster out of the way, and have a unique chance to capture this Rock-type Pokemon.
Now, a prolificPokemonfan called Matratzfratz on Reddit decided to share their latest creation: a Mega Evolution for Sudowoodo inspired by giant baobab trees. These endangered trees are very rare, and can only be found in Madagascar. Matratzfratz’s creation mimics the trees' distinctive look, taking the most iconic aspects of Sudowoodo, such as its face, colors, and leaf-inspired hands, and adding them to a torso that resembles the giant baobab tree.
Mega Sudowoodo Pokemon Fan Art
Matratzfratz often sharesPokemonfan art with the community, and the artist has some pretty creative ideas when devising new spins on classic creatures. For instance, they designeda regional Oddish fan artjust last month. In this new form, Oddish would become infected by leaf miners, which would grow as it evolves and completely take over the Pokemon in its final form.
Another of Matratzfratz’s designs that comes with a unique twist isthe disrupted Kakuna evolutionthe fan made earlier this year. In this design, Matratzfratz made a Bug/Steel-type Kakuna with giant spikes that look very menacing and seem to be covered in blood.
Due to its unique shape, Sudowoodo is often featured in fan works made by other artists, too. An example of that would be theWater-type Sudowoodo created by a fan artistback in March. This unique take on the creature was greatly inspired by sea cucumbers, and it kept the overall shape of the Pokemon while changing its skin. Instead of using the classic wood-like brown and green colors for the Water-type Sudowoodo, the artist employed blue and light pink, changing the body to resemble a sea creature instead of a tree.
