Since it appears as a Fire-type starter pokemon wind and the wavesPombon has been one of the breakout favorites of Gen 10's starter trio, thanks to its fluffy design and instant appeal. Its adorable Pomeranian-inspired look has naturally ignited some excitement from fans, with many already imagining what the development stages will look like when the game finally launches next year. While for official development pokemon wind and the waves'The starter Pokemon hasn't been revealed yet, the community has decided not to stick around for it. Artists across social media have begun sketching Pombon's full growth line, a somewhat odd but thoughtful take on what the pup's second and final developmental stages might look like.
But some fanmade designs for Pombon's evolutionary journey pokemon wind and the waves Stand out from the rest because of their extreme attention to detail or an extra dose of edginess in a Pokemon's look. Some lean into mythology, reimagining Pombon as a royal fire guardian. Others have doubled down on its Pomeranian DNA, only scaling it down to a tough but still distinctly fluffy powerhouse. Some designs use Pokemon more extensively, making it look like a straight-out character symbol of fire.
Final evolution of Pombon by Iker_320
Iker_320's design posted on Reddit is the first of a possible final development for Pombon. It's currently one of the top-voted fan-made designs for Pokemon on r/pokemon, and it's easy to see why. Although the artist did not confirm it, the design was apparently inspired by Barong – king of spirits, leader of hosts of good, and enemy of Rangda from Indonesian mythology.

Most of the comments below the design praise the idea, with many linking its apparent inspiration to the Barong. However, some others poured cold water on the artist's fire (pun intended) by suggesting that it was unrealistic for a starter Pokemon to look like this in its late stages of development. For one thing, it has the appearance of a legendary Pokémon, which excludes it from being a starter, but many fans also suspect that Pombon's final form will remain quadrupedal rather than bipedal – as Pokémon like Fennekin and Litten are in their final forms.
Pombon, Chowcoal, and Pyrewolf by Pierreodactyl
Another great pombone design comes from pierreodactyl in the threads, and is one of the fan-made versions of Pokemon's evolutionary stages posted online. This particular design not only shows Pombon's three unique visual stages but also gives them names, Pombon Evolving into Chocol, and Chocol Evolving into Pyrewolf.
Similar to Iker_320's design for Pombon, pierreodactyl has Pokemon on all fours at each stage of its development. But what's most interesting about this particular design is that it retains Pombone's main characteristics throughout its evolutionary journey, which is not common, especially for starter Pokemon. It is common for a Pokémon to adopt a completely different form in its final form than its first form, although the roots are usually still visible. In this case, pokemon wind and the wavesThe pombon only grows in size, its fangs, claws, ears, and eyebrows lengthen, and it gains body armor that looks like it's made of hardened magma.
If Toby Fox designed pombon by 2019_yoty2021
This pombone design by Reddit user 2019_yoty2021 might be the more ridiculous of the three Pokemon evolutions, but it's worth a look anyway. The design shows the bipedal Pombon carrying a Pokeball shield and secondarily a sword, with its final form donning a full set of armor and a dog-headed spear.
It didn't take long for fans to comment below the photo saying that it would essentially look like Pombon if it was designed by Toby Fox. UndertaleAnd they are not far away. It seems to follow many of the design principles Fox has become known for UndertaleA playful mix of fantasy tropes with exaggerated proportions, simple yet expressive facial features, and a dash of offbeat charm. While this may not be the most realistic prediction of what Game Freak could eventually do with Pombon, it encapsulates the idea that the development of the starter could completely reinvent its identity while retaining its original characteristics.
Growing Fluffy Pompon by Quasnoflat
Pombon's Reddit user quasnoflaut's design comes with a very simple request for game freaks: let Pokemon just get fluffier when it evolves without changing anything else. Unfortunately, this is too much to ask PokemonBecause every Pokemon's appearance changes significantly as it evolves. However, that hasn't stopped fans from upvoting Quasnoflaut's Pombon and praising the idea of not changing anything except for its amount of fluff.
The comments below the image have some humorous nicknames for the quasnoflaute version of pombon that are also worth mentioning. User stretch5678 calls it “Super Saiyan fluff,” and another user echoes that sentiment with an image of the widely shared Super Saiyan 100 meme. Another user mentioned LordPoofyflames as its nickname for Pombon's final form, while others suggested either Flamoyed or Pombe. Finally, user SoggyTriangles will be okay with Pombon's final stage of development seeing the dog as nothing more than a simple dog-faced fireball.
From Pombon to Houndferno by Ash_Mon
The final fan-made design of Pombon worth mentioning comes from Reddit user Ash_Mon, who not only included a colorful diagram of the Pokemon's final stage of evolution but also a name and some stats. Here, Pombon's final form is Houndferno, a Fire/Dark-type Pokemon whose signature abilities are Blaze and Moxie. Furthermore, instead of maintaining its innocent yellow-orange appearance, the Pombon's fur eventually turns black or dark brown, and its expression becomes more violent.
One user noted that Ash_Mon's Pombon design is essentially Houndoom, only fluffier, but fans didn't mind. Other fans said they would like to see Pombon stay in all four, despite how the Pokemon's appearance has changed over the course of the Pokemon's evolution. Finally, some fans think Ash_Mon's design is unrealistic, but who cares in the long run anyway?
