The Psychic-types Jynx, Espathra, and Hatterene from Pokemon have been given entirely new unofficial forms by one creative community artist, who has built up quite a reputation thanks to their numerous prior custom creature designs. Though custom Mega Evolution designs have been extremely popular lately following the reveal of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, interesting fanmade designs are always common among the Pokemon community thanks to the many creative fans that contribute to it.

A popular artistic fan known online as JJonnie recently shared a few redesigns of the popular Psychic-type Pokemon Jynx, Espathra, and Hatterene. While not particularly presenting regional forms or anything similar, these redesigns nonetheless boast totally different appearances, and even include a few unique attributes not seen in their official counterparts. The first of these designs, Jyth, features Zoroark's signature Illusion ability, which would allow it to disguise itself as a different Pokemon in a player's party.
