Highlights

• Pokemon fans love redesigning their favorite monsters, like Oddish, creating new looks and sparking creativity in the community.
• Oddish’s unique appearance has inspired fan creations like planters, while fan art reimagines the classic Pokemon with different styles.

A Pokemon fan drew a new look for the Grass/Poison-type monster Oddish. The Pokemon community is fond of creating reimagined versions of their favorite Pokemon, especially their ideas of what their Shiny and Paradox forms would look like. The ever-growing franchise continues to inspire fans to create art based on the over 1,000 Pokemon.

Known as the “Weed Pokemon,” Oddish is a Grass/Poison-type Pokemon from Generation 1 that has a radish-like appearance and evolves into Gloom, Vileplume, and Bellossom. Its distinct appearance has inspired some Pokemon fans to create items like planters that resemble Oddish’s round body and green sprout. The Pokemon has also resulted in several fanmade drawings and paintings.

Recently, a Pokemon fan named Comfortable-Cup-69 shared their redesigned version of Oddish on Reddit, which showed the Pokemon with a round and slightly elongated body shape and a different face. Compared to its original radish-like appearance, the fan’s Oddish creation looks similar to an onion or a shallot.

Pokemon Fan’s Oddish Sketch Draws Comparisons to Other Characters

In the comments, many Pokemon fans complimented the Oddish sketch and how it showcased a different look for the popular Pokemon. Some also pointed out that the drawing looked like Mimikyu, a Ghost/Fairy Pokemon that usually hides under a Pikachu-shaped cloth, disguised as an Oddish, while others said it’s like a cross between Oddish and Drifloon, the Ghost/Flying Pokemon that looks like a balloon.

Additionally, one Pokemon fan said that the redesigned Oddish looked like it could pass as a Gen 9 Pokemon. The latest generation was introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which also debuted the Paradox forms of various Pokemon. Paradox Pokemon are either prehistoric or futuristic versions of the monsters, which could be what fans were referring to with the Oddish sketch. Likewise, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet inspired many fans to create their own Paradox Pokemon based on other characters to showcase their creativity in revamping the characters’ base designs.

Apart from its mainline games and popular animated series, the Pokemon franchise continues to draw fans in with various titles and merch collaborations. In 2025, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is expected to launch, which will feature the Kalos region and possibly introduce additional Gen 9 Pokemon or alternate versions of existing Pokemon. Many fans are also investing time and effort in games like Pokemon GO and Pokemon Sleep, which are constantly being updated with new content to keep avid players entertained.
