A talented Pokémon fan has crafted imaginative convergent forms for Ralts, with unique designs for each gender. Leveraging established franchise concepts, this creative endeavor explores the increasingly popular idea of convergent Pokémon – creatures ecologically similar yet distinct species. Introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, convergent Pokémon like Toedscool and Wiglett showcase this concept.
This fan, OnduRegion on Twitter, presents two distinct Ralts convergent forms, dubbed "Salts." The female Salts resembles a mermaid, its bowl cut adorned with a starfish, its eyes visible. The male Salts, conversely, features a differently colored tail, shark-like fins in its bowl cut, and a concealed face.
This inventive artwork extends beyond aesthetics. OnduRegion provides detailed descriptions, including typing and abilities. The female Salts, a Water/Psychic type, is described in its Pokédex entry as luring ocean-goers to steal their possessions. The male Salts, a Water/Dark type, is characterized as a stubborn, clumsy Pokémon with a habit of biting hard objects to strengthen its teeth.
OnduRegion's portfolio boasts other impressive fan creations, including new Charcadet forms, a Hawlucha evolution, and striking Paradox Forms for Mewtwo X and Y. Their consistent adherence to the Pokémon aesthetic, coupled with rich lore, makes their Ralts convergent forms feel seamlessly integrated into the Pokémon universe. The creative designs and accompanying narratives paint a compelling picture of what Ralts' convergent forms could be.
