A talented artist brought new G-Max forms to Sword & Shield. Their incredible creations envision what classic Pokemon might look like with the eighth generation feature.

Sword & Shield ushered Pokemon into its eighth generation with its release in 2019. The RPG takes place in the Galar region, and features the new game mechanic Dynamaxing, which turns monsters into towering giants.

However, only some characters have the ability to Gigantamax, which changes their physical form altogether. While there are only 31 of these in the game if you include the Isle of Armor DLC, a talented artist has added more with some stunning art.

The first design posted on their Instagram is a gigantic version of Gen II starter evolution Typhlosion. The badger-like creature looks truly epic with the massive ring of fire and smoke hanging around its neck.

According to the description, the smoke surrounding it would act as cover, as it shoots out fiery quills at the enemy. Not only is the drawing impressive, it actually feels like a natural fit for Sword & Shield.

Since you liked a lot the Gigantamax Kanto Starters, this time we'll move to Johto! Its potential and rage esponentially grow up thanks to Gigantamax energy. Now Typhlosion can shoot fiery arrows made up by its own blazing fur from the thick smokescreen surrounding it. . . . #fakemon #pokemonart #art #instaart #pokemon #colors #anime #fanart #pokemonsword #pokemonshield #drawing

Next up is the creepily adorable Ghost and Fairy Type Mimikyu, who introduced in Gen VII’s Sun & Moon. Appropriately, the monster mimics Pikachu’s iconic “fat” G-Max form, but has its looming spirit hand creeping up from underneath its disguise.

WHAT? GIGANTAMAX PIKACHU NO! THAT'S GIGANTAMAX MIMIKYU! The Gigantamax Energy has given Pikachu a new form and as well, more strenght and popularity. And of course, Mimikyu's desire to be as popular as Pikachu grows exponentially while exposed to the Gigantamax Energy. That's why the two are so similar, but pay attention, Mimikyu is not as friendly as Pikachu. The giant arm on its back is fueled with envy, and will cause dizziness to whoever will touch it! It's G-Max Move is called G-Max Envy, a Ghost-Type Move that'll inflict the Curse status to the Opponents! What do you think? There will be Gigantamax Mimikyu in the upcoming DLC? . . . #pokéathome #fakemon #pokemon #pokemonart #artistsoninstagram #art #dailyart #pokemongo #like #nintendo #pokemonswordshield #anime

Lastly we have the popular new Pokemon Dragapult, which was added in the Gen VIII games. The artist takes the Dragon and Ghost Type character and expands on its head, making it a full blown missile-style carrier. Seriously, how do we not have a G-Max of this yet?

The Gigantamax Energy allowed Dragapult to keep more Dreepy in its horns, since that they are now bigger. When they are launched at Mach speed, they are able to destroy a skyscraper. G-Max Move : G-Max Bombardier, Dragon-Type, it deals damage at the end of the turn for 5 turns. There will be Gigantamax Dragapult in the upcoming DLC? . . . #pokéathome #fakemon #pokemon #pokemonart #artistsoninstagram #art #dailyart #pokemongo #like #nintendo #pokemonswordshield #anime
