New Convergent Forms for Ralts Emerge from Creative Pokémon Fan

A talented Pokémon fan has crafted inventive convergent forms for Ralts, showcasing unique designs for both male and female variants. The Pokémon community frequently leverages established franchise concepts to fuel their creativity, and convergent forms – a relatively new in-universe concept – are a popular choice.

Introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, convergent Pokémon share ecological similarities, resulting in visually similar yet distinct species. Paldea and Kitakami boast six examples: Toedscool, Toedscruel, Wiglett, Wugtrio, Poltchageist, and Sinistcha, effectively mirroring Tentacool, Tentacruel, Diglett, Dugtrio, Polteageist, and Sinistea. This concept inspires imaginative fan creations, such as a recent artwork featuring Ralts.

Twitter user OnduRegion unveiled a captivating concept: two distinct convergent Ralts forms, dubbed "Salts." The female variant boasts a mermaid-like design, her bowl cut adorned with a starfish, her eyes clearly visible. The male counterpart features a differently colored tail, shark-like fins in its bowl cut, and a concealed face.

Imaginative Fan Art Transforms Ralts into Aquatic Pokémon

OnduRegion's contribution extends beyond aesthetics, including detailed abilities and stats. The female Salts is a Water/Psychic type, its Pokédex entry describing its habit of luring ocean-goers to pilfer their possessions. The male Salts, a Water/Dark type, is characterized as a stubborn, clumsy creature with a penchant for gnawing on hard objects to strengthen its teeth.

This isn't OnduRegion's first foray into impressive Pokémon fan art. Previous creations include captivating new forms for Charcadet, a novel Hawlucha evolution, and striking Paradox Forms for Mewtwo X and Y. These Ralts convergent forms, consistent with their previous work, showcase creative designs that seamlessly integrate with the established Pokémon style. Combined with the accompanying lore, OnduRegion's vision makes the possibility of Ralts' convergent forms feel remarkably tangible to fans.
