Summary
APokemonfan has recently designed a new future Paradox form for Starmie. Paradox forms were introduced inPokemon’s 9th generation, withPokemon Scarlet and Violet, and have been very popular in fan art since then.
Starmie is a Water/Psychic-type creature introduced inthe first generation ofPokemongames. Up until the fourth generation, Starmie could only be acquired by evolving a Staryu using a Water Stone or by trading it with other players. In later games, however, it was possible to find the sea star-shaped creature in the wild. Starmie has a pretty uncommon dual-type combination, which is only shared by other creatures such as Slowbro, Bruxish, and Veluza, and it has powerful moves such as Psychic and Hydro Pump.
Now, a prolificPokemonfan artist called leolethanh decided to design a unique future Paradox form for Starmie called Iron-Shell. In this new form, the creature becomes a Water/Steel-type monster and obtains a new signature move called Aqua Whirlwind, which has a base damage of 50. The design of Iron-Shell is pretty interesting, as the creature keeps its iconic starfish shape, but it gains metal skin and what seems to be crystal objects floating around it.
Future Paradox Starmie Pokemon Fan Art
This is not the first Paradox form shared by leolethanh with the community, though. A week ago, the fan designed apast Paradox form for Arbokcalled Earth-Fangs, for example. This drawing followed a similar art style, and it turned the snake-inspired critter into a huge serpent with spikes on its back and a dinosaur-inspired tail.
Starmie is a fairly popular Pokemon when considering how often it’s depicted in fan art. Last year, anotherPokemonfan designed an impressive evolution for Starmie, reimagining the monster as a Water/Steel-type critter called Starmor. While following the same subtype combination as leolethanh’s creation, this fan came up with a completely new design that makes Starmie resemble a big, red shield with a blue jewel in the middle.
Another artist created aMega evolution for Starmiearound this time, too. In this case, the Pokemon retained its original subtype but gained many unique features. Instead of looking like a plain starfish, Mega Starmie was fairly larger, had several red jewels encrusted in its body, and had some sort of white scarf around it. Hopefully, other amazingPokemonfans will come up with new alternative forms for the popular Water/Psychic-type monster soon, delighting the community with the quality of their artwork.
