- Other talented fans have also created unique Pokemon crossover fan art, like a Monster Hunter-inspired Rayquaza and Cubone as a Demon Slayer warrior.
A Pokemon fan has recently devised a new unofficial take on Rayquaza, reimagining the popular legendary as one of the Upper Moons from Demon Slayer. Pokemon fans are very creative with their artwork, and redesigning Pokemon with characteristics from other works is a popular concept used in many incredible pieces.
Rayquaza is a dual-type Dragon/Flying legendary originally introduced in the third generation of Pokemon games. The unique monster can only be found at the Sky Pillar in Gen 3 games and is the official mascot of Pokemon Emerald. Like other legendary critters, Rayquaza has access to powerful moves at high levels, such as the Dragon-type Outrage or the Normal-type Hyper Beam, which are learned at Levels 81 and 90, respectively. The Pokemon is not known to evolve from or into another creature, but it can evolve into Mega Rayquaza under specific circumstances.
Pokemon Fan Art Imagines What Mega Charizard Z Would Look Like
A Pokemon fan devises a new artwork that imagines a possible form for Mega Charizard Z, an alternative evolution for the popular Gen 1 creature.
Now, a Pokemon fan called abz-art redesigned Rayquaza as an Upper Moon demon. In this new design, Rayquaza has white skin with light green stripes and huge yellow horns, as well as demonic traits that resemble its Demon Slayer inspiration. To make the artwork even more beautiful, the Pokemon was drawn on top of a cherry blossom tree in front of a menacing red moon. Upper Moon demons are antagonists in Demon Slayer, have superhuman strength, and can use blood demon arts. The Pokemon community loved abz-art’s work, giving the fan over 3,300 upvotes.
Pokemon Fan Art Depicts Rayquaza as an Upper Moon Demon
This is not the first time a talented Pokemon fan has reimagined Rayquaza using another franchise as an inspiration, though. Some months ago, one fan created a Monster Hunter-inspired Rayquaza. This version of the mythic creature came in two different versions, one looking like a huge green dragon drawn using the style of Capcom’s popular series, and the other was a complete set of armor and weapons used with the monster’s parts. Considering that gamers can use monster parts to create new items in Monster Hunter, this was a pretty creative idea.
Rayquaza is also not the only Pokemon to be redesigned with strong Demon Slayer inspirations. A few months ago, one fan turned Cubone into a Demon Slayer. In this impressive artwork, the Ground-type beast was drawn as a fierce warrior with a huge bone club and clothes that resembled the ones that the characters of the popular series have. Hopefully, other talented fans will keep devising interesting artworks combining Pokemon with other popular franchises and sharing them with the community.
