Pokemon Fan Art Imagines Past Paradox Form for Milotic

gamerant.com:

A Pokemon fan has recently created a past Paradox form for Milotic. Milotic is a Water-type Pokemon that evolves from Feebas, and it first appeared in the third generation of Pokemon games.

Paradox forms were originally introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, appearing as endgame opponents in these mainline titles. Since then, Paradox forms have become one of the most popular kinds of Pokemon fan art, with many artists imagining mythical past and future versions of some of the most popular creatures in the franchise.

Now, a Pokemon fan called Poetically_Imperfect decided to give Milotic a past Paradox form, devising a new creature called Striking Beauty. This new monster is a Water/Fighting-type Pokemon that still resembles Milotic, but it differs from the original design by having spiky scales over its whole body. Striking Beauty also comes with a shiny form, which changes some of the creature’s red parts for blue ones and adds a new yellow color to some of the monster’s scales.

This is not the first time that Poetically_Imperfect has created an amazing Paradox form. Last month, the artist created a past Paradox form for Sableye, for example. The new design was called Glittering Grin, had the Dark/Fairy-type, and followed a similar pattern to Striking Beauty, as it differed from the original monster essentially due to its spiky skin. The Pokemon also had a shiny version with yellow colors instead of purple.

While fan art featuring Milotic is not very common, possibly due to it not being a widely known Pokemon, a fan made a Mega Evolution for Milotic last year. In this design, the creator greatly revamped the creature, keeping its overall shape, but completely changing its looks. To achieve this result, the artist gave the creature a slim form, a natural crown on its head that resembled a tiara, and a long tail with rainbow colors.

Overall, it does not seem that the community will get tired of designing new unofficial Paradox forms for different Pokemon anytime
