A Pokemon fan creates a demonic variant of Cloyster

A prolific one Pokémon fan artists have shared their unique take on Cloyster that gives Pokemon a demonic appearance. The unique version is the sequel to the demonic Shellder by the same artist who caused a sensation in Pokémon community first.

Fan-created Pokemon have been popular since the series' inception, but as the franchise has grown, so have official Pokemon variants and their evolutions. With regional variations, branching evolutions, and some Pokemon with multiple forms, it's helped spark even more ideas in the community, resulting in neat fanart like this one.

A talented Pokemon fan shares a look at the incredible rug they made featuring the Eevee pocket monster evolution line.

Pokémon Fan and Reddit user Matratzfratz has shared one of their latest creations, a hellish version of Cloyster that is an evolution of their previous demonic Shellder fanart. Shellder is included in their post, so fans can see how the unique shapes connect to each other. The infernal version of Shellder, called Hellder, is effectively undead and evolves into Cauldroyster, a Dark/Poison-type. Cauldroyster looks very interesting, with a horned shell and a cauldron-like base, which is where the name comes from. The Pokemon's description amusingly notes that while the Pokemon appears to be up to no good, it's actually bathing in its own cauldron.

Pokemon fans react to Unique Cloyster

Pokémon Fans seem to be very fond of the demonic Cauldroyster, with many of them saying they like the design and are happy to see Cloyster getting attention. It's an understandable position to take. While Shellder and Cloyster play a role in some unique evolutions that Slowpoke can undergo, Bivalve Pokemon have not received any special variants or new evolutions since they were first introduced in Pokemon Red and Blue. Some fans may feel that these two Pokemon receiving some attention is long overdue.

That said, some weren't thrilled with Matratzfratz's idea of ​​how Helder would evolve into Cauldroyster. The description states that to transform into Cauldroyster, Hellder must use Energy Root, Berry Juice, Pretty Feather, and Sacred Ash all in the same fight. This is not only a little difficult, as it would mean keeping Helder alive long enough to use all these items, but Holy Ash is extremely rare. However, others thought it was fine and liked the idea of ​​some Pokemon having more complex evolution methods, and it would give Sacred Ash a use within battles, as it is typically only usable outside of them. As a fan design, it's ultimately up to the artist to decide how Pokemon would work, whether or not it would be practical in an actual game.
