What Is Pokemon Fusion Art?
Pokemon fusion art is a picture of two Pokemon combined into one creature, either drawn by hand or made by a fusion generator. Fans also call it Pokéfusion. The practice goes back to a forum thread from February 2009 in which fans spliced the sprites of two Pokemon together, and it grew with web generators and the fan game Pokemon Infinite Fusion.

How the Gallery Images Are Made
The gallery images are generated in your browser from the official sprites of the 2 Pokemon. The generator takes the body's sprite as the shape, sorts its pixels from dark to light, and paints them with the head's colors in the same order. Dark outlines stay dark, so the body's shape stays clear.
These are quick previews, not hand-drawn art. For real fusion art, look at the custom sprites drawn for Pokemon Infinite Fusion in the Custom Sprite Finder, or make your own with the steps below.
How to Make Your Own Pokemon Fusion Art
To make your own Pokemon fusion art, start from a generated fusion and redraw it. There are 6 steps:
- Pick a pair with the Fusion Generator or the Random Fusion Generator.
- Choose head and body. In fusion art, the body usually gives the pose and silhouette, and the head gives the face and colors.
- Sketch simple shapes for the head, body and limbs, using light lines or a low-opacity layer.
- Add the key features of both Pokemon, such as Charizard's wings or Gengar's grin, so both stay recognizable.
- Choose the palette from the head; the generated preview is a quick color reference.
- Add shading and details, then share it and ask for feedback.
For pixel art, use an editor such as Aseprite or Pixel Studio. For full drawings, any drawing app with layers works.
Fusion Art Ideas
The best fusion art ideas pair Pokemon with a clear contrast in shape, color or theme. Here are 5 ideas with their generated results:
| Idea | Fusion | Name | Types |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter mix | Charizard + Blastoise | Charitoise | Fire/Water |
| Eeveelution blend | Glaceon + Flareon | Glacreon | Ice/Fire |
| Legendary clash | Rayquaza + Groudon | Rayqudon | Dragon/Ground |
| Cute + scary | Pikachu + Gengar | Pikagar | Electric/Poison |
| Opposite colors | Snorlax + Ninetales | Snortales | Normal/Fire |
Swap the head and the body for a second design from the same 2 Pokemon. The Hybrid Maker shows both orders side by side.
Fusion Art in Pokemon Infinite Fusion
Pokemon Infinite Fusion has the largest collection of fusion art: 264,812 hand-drawn custom sprites from more than 6,000 community artists.

How to Share and Credit Fusion Art
- Credit the artist whenever you repost someone else's fusion art or custom sprite.
- Say which Pokemon you fused, head first, so others can recreate it.
- Keep it non-commercial. Pokemon designs belong to Nintendo, Game Freak and The Pokemon Company, so do not sell fusion art of them.
- Mark generated images as generated, so they are not mistaken for hand-drawn art.
