The results range from very accurate to just plain silly. It\u2019s no secret many Pals resemble the iconic Pok\u00e9mon we know and love. Boltmane might be the biggest offender, greatly resembling a Shiny Luxray when it comes to design and as well as their shared Electric typing. Pocketpair has already been hit with criticism and allegations regarding plagiarism and the use of AI artwork. But there are also some Pals that look like fusions of two different Pok\u00e9mon, to the point where gamers say Palworld designers used the Pok\u00e9mon Fusion Generator for inspiration. Whether they\u2019re just joking around or not, it\u2019s almost scary just how similar some of today's new Pok\u00e9Fusions are to certain Pal designs. One tweet used Verdash as an example. Its model resembles the Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield Fire Starter, Cinderace, except Verdash is Grass-type and green. By fusing Cinderace with the green and leafy Leafeon, the newly fused \u2018mon looks just like the Pal with near-identical color palettes. While this may or may not be a coincidence, it seems to be a recurring theme for multiple Pals in the game. After seeing this, I decided to investigate with some Pok\u00e9Fusions of my own. Take a look for yourself. After I saw Shadowbeak\u2019s design, I thought of two Pok\u00e9mon: Corviknight and Zekrom. Shadowbeak is a black bird just like Corviknight, but the glowing blue highlights on its backside equally reminded me of Zekrom\u2019s tail, which can light up in a similar shade of blue. \u201cZekknight\u201d is the most accurate Pok\u00e9Fusion I\u2019ve made. In fact, Zekknight and Shadowbeak are exactly what you'd expect Zekrom to look like if it were a bird. Fuack is one of the silliest Pals I\u2019ve seen, so I decided to have fun with this Pok\u00e9Fusion. Out of the few duck Pok\u00e9mon that exist, I felt Ducklett was the most fitting for Fuack, though Golduck likely would have worked just as well. To match Fuack\u2019s tiny stature, ears, and collar, I went with Snubbull, who also happens to share that same angry expression. You could use male Meowstic instead, but Snubbull and Fuack just share that same angry, tiny energy. Perhaps Fuack is intended to be the duck version of Snubbull. Speaking of Meowstic, its pre-evolution, Espurr shares a very similar body shape with the moody Pal known as Depresso. The biggest difference is their eye shapes, with Espurr\u2019s eyes wide open and Depresso\u2019s RBF (resting b*tch face). My first thought was to use baby Pok\u00e9mon Toxel for that same grumpy look, but Toxel was locked in the generator so I opted for Misdreavus instead. It ended up working out since the Ghost Pok\u00e9mon shares similar blue and purple colors as Depresso. The generator makes the fusion look a bit silly, but I imagine this is as close as we're gonna get to an accurate Depresso Pok\u00e9Fusion. Dinossom is basically a green Goodra wearing Lilligant\u2019s flower hat. The Pok\u00e9mon Fusion Generator, unfortunately, didn\u2019t do this fused \u2018mon justice, but Dinossom\u2019s design is exactly what you\u2019d expect from fusing Goodra and Lilligant together. Here, in the final fusion, I looked at an Ice-type combo. Chillet is the same shape as the adorable Furret, which may be why their names also sound similar. Since Chillet is part Ice-type, I thought it would work well with the Ice fossil Pok\u00e9mon, Amaura and Aurorus, who also share the same blue coloring. I didn\u2019t care too much for those, so I tried a different approach\u2014finding a fused name that sounded similar to Chillet. That\u2019s how we ended up with Chewret, a fusion of Chewtle and Furret. At least it\u2019s blue and the same shape.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Palworld-Chillet-Featured.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106915"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1106915"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1106973,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106915\/revisions\/1106973"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1102818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1106915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1106915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The results range from very accurate to just plain silly. It\u2019s no secret many Pals resemble the iconic Pok\u00e9mon we know and love. Boltmane might be the biggest offender, greatly resembling a Shiny Luxray when it comes to design and as well as their shared Electric typing. Pocketpair has already been hit with criticism and allegations regarding plagiarism and the use of AI artwork. But there are also some Pals that look like fusions of two different Pok\u00e9mon, to the point where gamers say Palworld designers used the Pok\u00e9mon Fusion Generator for inspiration. Whether they\u2019re just joking around or not, it\u2019s almost scary just how similar some of today's new Pok\u00e9Fusions are to certain Pal designs. One tweet used Verdash as an example. Its model resembles the Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield Fire Starter, Cinderace, except Verdash is Grass-type and green. By fusing Cinderace with the green and leafy Leafeon, the newly fused \u2018mon looks just like the Pal with near-identical color palettes. While this may or may not be a coincidence, it seems to be a recurring theme for multiple Pals in the game. After seeing this, I decided to investigate with some Pok\u00e9Fusions of my own. Take a look for yourself. After I saw Shadowbeak\u2019s design, I thought of two Pok\u00e9mon: Corviknight and Zekrom. Shadowbeak is a black bird just like Corviknight, but the glowing blue highlights on its backside equally reminded me of Zekrom\u2019s tail, which can light up in a similar shade of blue. \u201cZekknight\u201d is the most accurate Pok\u00e9Fusion I\u2019ve made. In fact, Zekknight and Shadowbeak are exactly what you'd expect Zekrom to look like if it were a bird. Fuack is one of the silliest Pals I\u2019ve seen, so I decided to have fun with this Pok\u00e9Fusion. Out of the few duck Pok\u00e9mon that exist, I felt Ducklett was the most fitting for Fuack, though Golduck likely would have worked just as well. To match Fuack\u2019s tiny stature, ears, and collar, I went with Snubbull, who also happens to share that same angry expression. You could use male Meowstic instead, but Snubbull and Fuack just share that same angry, tiny energy. Perhaps Fuack is intended to be the duck version of Snubbull. Speaking of Meowstic, its pre-evolution, Espurr shares a very similar body shape with the moody Pal known as Depresso. The biggest difference is their eye shapes, with Espurr\u2019s eyes wide open and Depresso\u2019s RBF (resting b*tch face). My first thought was to use baby Pok\u00e9mon Toxel for that same grumpy look, but Toxel was locked in the generator so I opted for Misdreavus instead. It ended up working out since the Ghost Pok\u00e9mon shares similar blue and purple colors as Depresso. The generator makes the fusion look a bit silly, but I imagine this is as close as we're gonna get to an accurate Depresso Pok\u00e9Fusion. Dinossom is basically a green Goodra wearing Lilligant\u2019s flower hat. The Pok\u00e9mon Fusion Generator, unfortunately, didn\u2019t do this fused \u2018mon justice, but Dinossom\u2019s design is exactly what you\u2019d expect from fusing Goodra and Lilligant together. Here, in the final fusion, I looked at an Ice-type combo. Chillet is the same shape as the adorable Furret, which may be why their names also sound similar. Since Chillet is part Ice-type, I thought it would work well with the Ice fossil Pok\u00e9mon, Amaura and Aurorus, who also share the same blue coloring. I didn\u2019t care too much for those, so I tried a different approach\u2014finding a fused name that sounded similar to Chillet. That\u2019s how we ended up with Chewret, a fusion of Chewtle and Furret. At least it\u2019s blue and the same shape.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Palworld-Chillet-Featured.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106915"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1106915"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1106973,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106915\/revisions\/1106973"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1102818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1106915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1106915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The results range from very accurate to just plain silly. It\u2019s no secret many Pals resemble the iconic Pok\u00e9mon we know and love. Boltmane might be the biggest offender, greatly resembling a Shiny Luxray when it comes to design and as well as their shared Electric typing. Pocketpair has already been hit with criticism and allegations regarding plagiarism and the use of AI artwork. But there are also some Pals that look like fusions of two different Pok\u00e9mon, to the point where gamers say Palworld designers used the Pok\u00e9mon Fusion Generator for inspiration. Whether they\u2019re just joking around or not, it\u2019s almost scary just how similar some of today's new Pok\u00e9Fusions are to certain Pal designs. One tweet used Verdash as an example. Its model resembles the Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield Fire Starter, Cinderace, except Verdash is Grass-type and green. By fusing Cinderace with the green and leafy Leafeon, the newly fused \u2018mon looks just like the Pal with near-identical color palettes. While this may or may not be a coincidence, it seems to be a recurring theme for multiple Pals in the game. After seeing this, I decided to investigate with some Pok\u00e9Fusions of my own. Take a look for yourself. After I saw Shadowbeak\u2019s design, I thought of two Pok\u00e9mon: Corviknight and Zekrom. Shadowbeak is a black bird just like Corviknight, but the glowing blue highlights on its backside equally reminded me of Zekrom\u2019s tail, which can light up in a similar shade of blue. \u201cZekknight\u201d is the most accurate Pok\u00e9Fusion I\u2019ve made. In fact, Zekknight and Shadowbeak are exactly what you'd expect Zekrom to look like if it were a bird. Fuack is one of the silliest Pals I\u2019ve seen, so I decided to have fun with this Pok\u00e9Fusion. Out of the few duck Pok\u00e9mon that exist, I felt Ducklett was the most fitting for Fuack, though Golduck likely would have worked just as well. To match Fuack\u2019s tiny stature, ears, and collar, I went with Snubbull, who also happens to share that same angry expression. You could use male Meowstic instead, but Snubbull and Fuack just share that same angry, tiny energy. Perhaps Fuack is intended to be the duck version of Snubbull. Speaking of Meowstic, its pre-evolution, Espurr shares a very similar body shape with the moody Pal known as Depresso. The biggest difference is their eye shapes, with Espurr\u2019s eyes wide open and Depresso\u2019s RBF (resting b*tch face). My first thought was to use baby Pok\u00e9mon Toxel for that same grumpy look, but Toxel was locked in the generator so I opted for Misdreavus instead. It ended up working out since the Ghost Pok\u00e9mon shares similar blue and purple colors as Depresso. The generator makes the fusion look a bit silly, but I imagine this is as close as we're gonna get to an accurate Depresso Pok\u00e9Fusion. Dinossom is basically a green Goodra wearing Lilligant\u2019s flower hat. The Pok\u00e9mon Fusion Generator, unfortunately, didn\u2019t do this fused \u2018mon justice, but Dinossom\u2019s design is exactly what you\u2019d expect from fusing Goodra and Lilligant together. Here, in the final fusion, I looked at an Ice-type combo. Chillet is the same shape as the adorable Furret, which may be why their names also sound similar. Since Chillet is part Ice-type, I thought it would work well with the Ice fossil Pok\u00e9mon, Amaura and Aurorus, who also share the same blue coloring. I didn\u2019t care too much for those, so I tried a different approach\u2014finding a fused name that sounded similar to Chillet. That\u2019s how we ended up with Chewret, a fusion of Chewtle and Furret. At least it\u2019s blue and the same shape.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Palworld-Chillet-Featured.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106915"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1106915"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1106973,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106915\/revisions\/1106973"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1102818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1106915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1106915"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1106915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
