Pokemon Fan Gives Charcadet Four Impressive New Evolutions

A talented Pokemon fan has made four new evolutions for Charcadet, sharing the designs online. With the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Pokemon fans saw the return of many Pokemon from other generations. Meanwhile, the Gen 9 games introduced 103 new critters with different abilities and stories to expand the already immense Pokemon universe.

One of these newcomers is Charcadet, a Fire-type Pokemon said to have been born from burning coal.

Twitter user OnduRegion created four new forms for Charcadet, suggesting what it would be like if it could evolve into a new creature in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Aracniddle has huge tweezers coming out of its body, resulting in a creature that would have a big chance of becoming one of the coolest bug Pokemon. One of Drillava's hands is a drill, and details in the design may remind Pokemon fans of Golurk. Hydralgon's fists live up to the Pokemon's name and have two dragon heads, while Brawlord has imposing fists that levitate around it.

Making their artwork even more appealing, the artist shared additional information about the four Pokemon, such as abilities, Pokedex entries, and the evolution criteria for each form. Charcadet evolves into the Fire/Bug-type Aracniddle when it receives the Parasite Armor item and transforms into the Fire/Ground-type Drillava when it gets the Golem Armor. Charcadet's evolution into the Fire/Dragon-type Hydralgon happens when the Pokemon gains
