Pokemon is one of the most enduring brands in gaming. Red Version and Blue Version initially launched in 1996, and fans are now eagerly awaiting the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which The Pokemon Company announced during Pokemon day on February 27th.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet arrive later this year. However, while developers showed off the new starters during the announcement, fans have yet to see their evolutions. To fill that void, one fan artist created their versions of the second and third forms of the feline grass type Sprigatito.

Reddit user evie_eeviez made the sketches and shared them on the platform. While fans haven’t seen any official artwork, these hypothetical designs contain neat ideas.

The lynx-inspired stage introduces pink flower petals on the Pokemon’s ears and back, the latter of which blooms in Sprigatito’s final form. One commenter noted that this detail is shared with the evolutions of the Generation 1 starter Bulbasaur, though evie_eeviez claims that was a coincidence. Either way, the Pokemon’s final form is quite majestic, while its prominent fangs indicate that the colorful cat is no pushover in battle.

Unfortunately, Scarlet and Violet’s developer and publishers have not revealed much about the new grass-type starter Pokemon. Fans only know about one of its abilities, Overgrow, which all Grass-type starters have. Fans also don’t
