Pokemon Fan Designs 4th Evolutions for Popular Pokemon

A Pokemon fan has created interesting fourth stage evolutions for the popular pocket monsters Gengar, Talonflame, and Blaziken. The three cover a good range of Pokemon designs to give new evolutions to, with their origins ranging from Gen 1 through Gen 6.

Of the three Pokemon chosen, only Talonflame has a mere three forms. Blaziken can Mega Evolve, giving it a fourth form, while Gengar can both Mega Evolve and Gigantamax. However, these evolutions are only temporary, with these new fan-made fourth stage evolutions offering new permanent forms to the popular trio.

YouTube Pokemon fan channel HoopsandHipHop featured the three new evolutions for these popular Pokemon with images created by elesteva076. Gengar becomes Sinistar, Talonflame evolves into Torniscorch, and Blaziken turns into Pyromar. Gengar changes types as Sinistar, going from a Poison/Ghost-type Pokemon to Ghost/Dark-Type, while Torniscorch and Pyromar keep their third evolution's typing in their fourth as Fire/Flying-Type and Fire/Fighting-Type, respectively.

Gengar's Sinistar Evolution takes inspiration from the common theory that Clefable and Gengar share ties. The theory is based on Gengar's appearance and naming conventions, among other things, and states that Gengar is effectively Clefable's shadow. The same fan had previously given Clefable a fourth stage evolution that was inspired by the stars, due to Clefable's otherworldly origins, so Sinistar mirrors that as a black hole.

Torniscorch takes inspiration from the Phoenix, which ties into its complicated evolutionary requirements. To become Torniscorch, Talonflame would need to level and faint, all while winning the battle for its trainer, referencing the Phoenix's rebirth. Blaziken sees its flames turn blue as Pyromar due to the heat of the flames intensifying. The concept is that Pyromar would follow Mega Blaziken to become the ultimate entry to the Pokemon's evolutionary line. HoopsandHipHop imagines these three evolutions as part of a new
