A piece ofPokemonfan art has fused two of the iconic creatures to create an incredible but slightly horrific new pocket monster. The image in question fuses Beedrill and Magnemite into something akin to a robotic bug. It is one of many pieces ofPokemonfan art that can be found on the internet.
Beedrill and Magnemite were both originally introduced inPokemon RedandPokemon Bluein the mid-1990s. While not the most popular of Pokemon, both have become mainstays in the franchise, having appeared in nearly every installment of the series. Magnemite made its latest appearance inPokemon ScarletandVioletand can be a bit tricky to catch and evolve. However, it appears that some fans want to see both Magnemite and Beedrill evolve in an unexpected direction.

While artistic tributes toPokemonare common, fusion tributes don’t appear as often, and sometimes happen by accident. In one instance a bizarre glitch made a set of the creatures inPokemon GOfuse into something that looked like it belonged inElden Ring. In Reddit user SUPERSADKIDDO’s case, however, the fusion was intentional. In it, they fused Beedrill and Magnemite together, creating something more horrific than cute. The majority of the form still resembles Beedrill but appears to be a robot version of it, with its drills, stinger, and casing all metal with one Magnemite eye in the center of its head.
While tributes to the two Pokemon may not be as common as, say, tributes to Totodile they can be found throughout the internet for those who know where to look. In one instance a Pokemon fan imagined what aMagnemite would be like in a horror movie. Another put together a piece of animation that showed a Beedrill hatching from the shell of a Kakuna. Not many of these tributes, however, generally look like an antagonist from aSonicgame.
As mentioned above, both Magnemite and Beedrill were first introduced inPokemon RedandPokemon Blueand have appeared in almost every game ever since. The latter of the two was missing from the latest installments, though it hardly seems to haveaffectedPokemon ScarletandViolet’s sales. So long as the franchise remains popular, fans of the two will exist and bizarre tributes like this will likely continue to find their way to the internet until the series finally comes to an end.
