Summary
A talentedPokemonfan recently designed a mega evolution for Heliolisk. ThePokemonfan’s design not only recreated Heliolisk with a mega evolution, but also included an evolution for the shiny version of the Pokemon.
Pokemonfans have all sorts of creative talent when it comes to fan art for the series. When not recreating their favorite Pokemon in some art form or designing entirely new creatures, fans will often create different and unique forms of existing Pokemon. As Heliolisk is a single evolution Pokemon, evolving from Helioptile, it can be one of the many Pokemon chosen for this due to its lack of extra forms. As fan artists expand on the relatively limited forms it has, such as a recentfuture Paradox form of Heliolisk anotherPokemonfan created, new designs are always popping up for the Gen 6 Pokemon. In a similar vein, one Pokemon fan has designed a mega evolution of Heliolisk, giving it an exciting new form.
Shared on thePokemon Legends: Z - AReddit page, user Augus77 posted their mega evolution for Heliolisk. Likeother mega evolution designs for Pokemon, the artist maintained the iconic aspects of Heliolisk, such as its reptilian form and bright color scheme, but added additional spikes up and down its back. Alongside this, the artist expanded Heliolisk’s frill, making it a bit more intimidating. The included shiny variation offers a separate color scheme for Heliolisk, simply switching the dark orange and bright yellow portions of the creature.
Pokemon Fan’s Mega Evolution for Heliolisk and Its Shiny Counterpart.
The design was relatively well received among otherPokemonfans. One fan even added in a stat block for the design, sharing a new description for the mega evolution and turning Heliolisk into an Electric and Fire-type. This user also gave the mega evolution of Heliolisk a speed of 144,making it one of the fastest Pokemonand significantly quicker than its regular form.
While this version of Heliolisk currently doesn’t exist in the game, all hope is not lost. WithPokemon Legends: Z - Aconfirming that mega evolutions are returning toPokemon, players will once again get the chance to mega evolve some of their favorite Pokemon. The upcomingPokemongame is also set to take place in the Kalos region, meaning that some Gen 6 Pokemon such as Heliolisk will be almost guaranteed to be in the game and will hopefully have the chance to be mega evolved and showcase some interesting new forms.
