Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans are designing their own Paradox versions of Entei and Raikou after a Paradox version of Suicune, another of the Gen 2 Legendary Beasts, was revealed earlier this week.
Earlier this week, in a new Pokemon Presents presentation, it was revealed that two new Pokemon Paradox would debut in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet later today. Now, excited fans of the two newcomers have put on their art caps to imagine what two more Pokémon Paradox would look like in the games.
Just below, for example, a talented fan has reinvented a paradoxical form of the ever-popular Raikou. Nicknamed “Mauling Mace”, this Raikou essentially appears to have a shark strapped to his back, before becoming Super Saiyan by an unholy force. Hey, that’s what we’re here for.
Next, another Paradox Raikou, as well as a revamped Entei. ‘Scorching Skull’ and ‘Nimbus Neck’ are, with all due respect to the original artist, totally cursed creations, and they don’t take place within a hundred miles of our usually cute Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Entei is another popular fan choice for a Paradox recreation, as you can see in the artistic reimagining below. “Searing Spine” looks really great and is a really intimidating creature, which is probably exactly what you want endgame creatures to look like, in fairness.
Finally, we get another portion of Paradox Entei, only this time they’ve been fused with…dinosaurs? Yes, that’s right, this person apparently combined an Entei with a triceratops and a stegosaurus to create Feral Flare, an evil beast. John Hammond, devour your heart.

For those unfamiliar, Paradox Pokemon are sort of revamps of the familiar Pokemon we’re used to. Walking Wake is a remixed Suicune, for example, while Iron Leaves is the paradoxical form of Virizion, two creatures that have become Pokemon staples over the years. Here’s hoping The Pokemon Company has more Pokemon Paradox up its sleeve.
