Summary
- A Pokemon fan artist combined Golem and Porygon Z in a unique fusion, blending Golem's design with Porygon Z's colors and smooth appearance.
- This fusion, called "Golegon-Z" by some fans, is an impressive mix of a physical rock-like creature and a virtual being.
- The Pokemon fanbase is known for its creativity in imagining new fusions, and this Golem/Porygon Z fusion is a prime example.
One creative Pokemon player recently combined Generation 1’s Golem with Porygon Z from Gen 4 in an unlikely fusion of the physical and virtual. Golem is the final evolutionary stage of the popular Red and Blue Rock/Ground dual-type Geodude, evolving from Graveler after being traded in older games or given the Linking Cord item in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Likewise, Porygon Z is the third and last form of the digital Pokemon Porygon, upgrading from Porygon2 when traded while holding the Dubious Disk.
Both Pokemon have their roots in the original generation of games, with plenty of interesting lore to keep fans interested in them throughout the many Pokemon sequels and spin-offs. For example, Golem’s rocky shell, which helps it roll down hills, is said to withstand dynamite blasts, and it is shed once a year as the Megaton Pokemon grows. Meanwhile, Porygon Z is the result of an experiment that would have allowed the infamous Virtual Pokemon Porygon to travel through alien dimensions, but instead caused it to display highly erratic, unstable behavior that made it difficult to capture and study.
On the surface, Golem and Porygon Z seem vastly different, but a Reddit user and Pokemon fan artist by the handle of rc1246 recently combined them in an unusual custom fusion. The resulting creature, which rc1246 shared with r/pokemon, mixes Golem’s general design with Porygon Z’s red-and-teal color scheme and smooth graphical appearance. Golem’s arms and legs now float separately from its atom-like body, while its head sits at the center. Said head now includes Porygon Z’s antenna and yellow eyes from past Pokemon games. One user of the comments section of rc1246’s post suggested “Golegon-Z” as this fusion’s name.
Custom fusions like this are incredibly popular among Pokemon fan artists, combining creatures of drastically different types to form interesting new Pokemon. Rc1246 is no stranger to this, having posted several other creative Pokemon fusions before their latest Golem/Porygon Z hybrid. Some of them include merging the shape-shifting Pokemon Ditto with monsters like Quagsire and Crobat, as well as combinations like Salamence and Xatu and Chinchou and Wobbuffet.
Blending Golem, a creature seemingly made of rocks and dirt, with a completely virtual being like Porygon Z might not be the most obvious fusion for Pokemon fans, but rc1246’s take on this idea does an impressive job in mixing the designs of both to create a new digital monster. The Pokemon fanbase seems to be home to a vast wealth of creativity, especially when it comes to dreaming up new fusions like Golem and Porygon Z.
