Pokémon fusion: Difference between revisions

Under rare circumstances, some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have been known to combine with other Pokémon or even [[Human|people]]. This phenomenon, sometimes called '''fusion''', has appeared across various [[Pokémon]] media, including the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}. Some Pokémon [[Evolution]]s are said to result from the merging of two or more Pokémon, with separation resulting in [[devolution]] in certain cases.

Pokémon fusion was first introduced in [[Generation I]], with {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Magnemite}}, Pokémon that can [[Evolution|evolve]] through fusion (though not actually possible within the [[core series]] games, only being mentioned in the [[Pokédex]]). Starting in [[Generation V]], Pokémon that fuse via [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form change]] were introduced, with {{p|Kyurem}}, a [[Legendary Pokémon]] capable of changing forms by fusing with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}.

If a {{p|Shellder}} bites on to a particular part of {{p|Slowpoke}}'s body, Slowpoke may [[Evolution|evolve]], causing Slowpoke and Shellder to combine and change in appearance. If the two are separated, they will [[Devolution|devolve]] back into their components. Even after Evolution, Shellder is still considered a Shellder despite its changed appearance.

This method of Evolution has only been shown outside of the [[core series]] games, though it is mentioned in the [[Pokédex]].

This method of Evolution is only shown in {{g|Snap}}. In the [[core series]] games, it is only mentioned in the [[Pokédex]]. Additionally, Pokémon Snap is one of the few times that two Magnemite have been shown bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite. Two Magnemite are also seen linked together in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, but it was stated to be a failed Evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.

This method of Evolution has never been shown in any [[Pokémon]] media, though it is mentioned in the [[Pokédex]]. In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', the only {{pkmn|anime}} episode to date to show a Beldum Evolution, when [[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolves into Metang, it "creates" another Beldum and newly developed main body to evolve, instead of fusing with another Beldum. Despite this, in ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', the Pokédex claims that "Metang is created from the union of two Beldum."

When using the [[DNA Splicers]], {{p|Kyurem}} can undergo a process called '''Absofusion''' (Japanese: '''吸収合体''' ''Absorb Union'') to absorb {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}} into itself, fusing into either {{fd|Kyurem|White Kyurem}} or {{fd|Kyurem|Black Kyurem}}. The fusion will end if Kyurem is defeated or the DNA Splicers are used again.
