Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Fan Designs Their Own Evolution for Regional Wooper

gamerant.com:

Although they should only be taken at face value, there have been a ton of rumors and leaks regarding Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Game Freak and the other companies involved have been incredibly quiet, with many fans leaning on unofficial information for even an inkling as to what the next-gen includes. SomePokemon Scarlet and Violetrumors and leaks have been more trustworthy than others, but it's ultimately hard to tell.

For example, there are tons of new Pokemon designs rumored, like a new Dolphin Pokemon, a fire/grass type, and so on. There are also rumors about new regional variants and cross-gen evolutions like a new Primeape. One of those is a new variant/cross-gen evolution for a new Wooper form in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Fan Designs Middle Evolution for Fuecoco Based on Recent Leaks

One fan, based on this, has designed their own take on a regional evolution for Wooper. Twitter user King_Joseff shared their take online, and it's an interesting form for the Pokemon too. Unlike Quagsire, this evolution retains more of the axolotl features seen in Wooper but expands on the size of its external gills and flourishes. Axolotls undergo a specific type of evolution where they remain more aquatic than other salamander species, and that sort of approach shines through here too.

King Joseff posted two different color variations of these evolutions, one which is dark blue and purple and the other which is dull blue and pink. Although this could be a change due to one being a Shiny Pokemon, it would also make for interesting gender differences akin to Gastrodon. Ultimately, it remains to be seen how close this design gets to the rumored Pokemon Scarlet and Violet evolution, if it does exist.
