Pokemon Fan Creates Convergent Forms For Ralts

A creative Pokémon fan has designed unique convergent forms for Ralts, with distinct appearances for each gender. Pokémon fans frequently utilize established franchise concepts to fuel their creative projects. Convergent forms, a relatively new concept within the Pokémon universe, are a popular example.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduced the idea of convergent Pokémon – ecologically similar Pokémon of different species with visually similar designs. Paldea and Kitakami feature six such Pokémon: Toedscool, Toedscruel, Wiglett, Wugtrio, Poltchageist, and Sinistcha, the convergent counterparts of Tentacool, Tentacruel, Diglett, Dugtrio, Polteageist, and Sinistea respectively. This concept inspires fan creations, like a recent artwork showcasing Ralts' convergent forms.

Twitter user OnduRegion unveiled their inventive concept: two convergent Ralts forms, dubbed "Salts." The female Salts resembles a mermaid, its bowl cut adorned with a starfish, its eyes visible. The male Salts, in contrast, sports a differently colored tail, fins resembling a shark's in its bowl cut, and a concealed face.

Fan Art Reimagines Ralts as a Water-Type Pokémon

OnduRegion's artwork includes details beyond the designs, providing abilities and stats. The female Salts is a Water/Psychic type, its Pokédex entry describing it as luring ocean-goers to steal their possessions. The male Salts is a Water/Dark type, known for biting hard objects to strengthen its teeth, characterized as stubborn and clumsy.

This isn't OnduRegion's first impressive Pokémon fan creation. Previous works include new forms for Charcadet, a new Hawlucha evolution, and striking Paradox Forms for Mewtwo X and Y. These Ralts convergent forms, consistent with their previous style, are notable for their inventive designs that remain true to the Pokémon aesthetic. Combined with the accompanying lore, OnduRegion's work makes the possibility of Ralts having convergent forms easily imaginable.
