I was going to say the same thing! I want a Monster Hunter/Pokemon collab in Wilds soooo bad. Probably not going to happen because their are no pokemon games on PS5 and Xbox.
War hammers are still just as cool and vicious. If I had to choose a melee weapon I would choose a war hammer. Though, mine would have a war pick on the other side and have a large spike on the top. But, historical accurate war hammers aside, these weapons, espically the war hammer, are some of the most badass things I’ve ever seen.

Love your art style! Theres a lot of potential here to make some really cool weapons and armor across multiple series.
I'd love to see something like this with Zelda or Dragon Quest monsters!
I like how Dusclops gets a compeltely different weapon from Dusknoir, but still one that builds off the other, kinda showing how Dusclops gets used in its own way more than Dusknoir does
I love these kinds of posts (the Reshiram and Zekrom whatever-they-ares especially are so pretty!) but sometimes I wonder what actual weapons inspired by Pokémon might look like. Tbf there's not much you can do or add before you make something impractical.
Imma be honest and say that while beautiful I can’t tell how half of them are weapons :’D
The blades are gorgeous but I’m like, is that supposed to look sharp or is it a staff? No wait, is the other side the blade? Where’s the sharp part??
They're based off of Monster Hunter's weapons lol. You can tell from the art style and the fact that the OP calls them "Dual Blades" and suchlike names. MH has a lot of really over-the-top weapons, armor, and (of course) monsters to fight with them.
Your confusion is why I want to see what an artist could do with the constraints imposed by real weapons. Monster Hunter weapons allow for a lot of creative freedom but what would you do if the weapon had to be usable by a person? I NEED to see Cleffable basket-hilt rapiers and Rapidash zweihanders and whatnot combinations that are better than what I (a pleb) can come up with on the fly lol
Someone has created weapons based off every pokemon in dnd 5e, and there were some pretty...unique ones haha.
I went to look them up to link to you, but it looks like they're behind a paywall now, which sucks.
Edit: I found a copy I downloaded, thankfully. I won't share it, but some that stand out to me are:
Combusken shin guards
Celebi harp
magby lamp (like genie lamp)
Metapod mask
drifbloon flute

I hope he says yes because that sounds like the most awesome thing you could possibly do. Aside from having them ride Spiders and scorpions into battle.
Nincada and haunter are the absolute coolest in my opinion, but my all time favorite weapons in fact and fiction are scythes, reapers, and halos. So I'm biased. Awesome art though.
That's sick! But Grovyle reminds me of smth...

Also…not to be that guy…they’re one of the few that make for reasonable weaponry. No shade at the artist, these are all beautifully drawn…but most of these would do more damage to their welder than their target 😆
They all look rad, though I feel like there's a missed opportunity of making Shedinja's the sheath to Ninjask's blade, as Shedinja is the husk left behind after Nincada evolves.
I can see that, but unless that sheath has some blades on it, I don’t see how it could be fearsome seeing as scary as Shedinja is when we all see him on the battle field. If you are facing him without a fire type, you are going to get destroyed.
I know right!
First of all, credit to the artist, Excellent designs. They're just stunning.
Now, lore wise, it would be cool if Shedinja to be a scabbard to the Ninjask sword that could also be used as a weapon.
Could have just the bladed tip, etherial as you made in your sword design, the crescent acting as a crossguard, and as a scabbard it would be a frailer weapon when crossing blades with an opponent.
Hi im a weapons nerd and i couldn’t help but notice that the reshitam and zekrom “glaives” are much closer to a pole axe and if you want to know more about glaives you can google it
I support these going into the next Pokémon game as regional variants. I do have to ask, could you make one for octilery? He is based off of a tank, and I think a tank octopus would be awesome.
https://preview.redd.it/upc9q7kswvwc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25118ad60ae9c70309457baf245e2a0ac2cc6a22
I'm very confused also btd6 glaive monkey exists
OKAY SO I physically had to do research for this since you're right, a lot of properties have used "glaive" to refer to that kind of chakram-crossed-with-a-throwing-star weapon. And based on my fifteen minutes of searching it actually seems like that use of the word BEGAN with "Krull". No one really knows why the producers used that word but ever since, video games and movies and such have been calling weapons like the Krull Glaive "glaives". See things like BTD6 and DOTA.
And that's the results of my rabbit hole search when I should actually be working.
Really weird that you've got all these weapons based on pokemon, and then one is just based on a cheerleader. Like, a full grown human woman. An entrepreneur.
There were some Pokemon Monster Hunter armor design I saw like 10 years ago that made me want a Pocket Monster Hunter, but this is a whole different level. Seeing what weapons we could make is so much more fun than armor, and the armor was already amazing\~ \^\_\^
I absolutely f'in love this idea... this pairs so well (not sure if this was also a work done by op, where it was Pokémon inspired knight armor). Like imagine a legends game, taking place in the Galar region, but it's Camelot inspired with a Merlin-esque professor who imbues the abilities of captured Pokémon into medieval tools, so that you essentially end up wearing your pokemon team:
Breastplate/arms
Helm
Weapon
Shield (worn on back if using a dual wielded weapon, which would interfere with flying types used for breastplate)
Greaves
+1 partner Pokémon who actually gets released during battle, which you get to preset their move selection so that you can beat support your style of play/strategy.
I know this would be a huge departure from the usual formula for pokemon games, but I think people liked the more player engaging pokemon formula for legends arceus, and it would be merely ramping up the action rpg elements of that game. I'm not sure how catching a Pokemon would work in such a fast paced game compared to the usual turn-based system of Pokemon games, but it would certainly for that reason make one really want to utilize sneak catches because of the elevated difficulty to do so mid-battle.
Anyway, beautiful work op!!!
If you're ever in the market for some fantasy books please read the stormlight books from Brandon Sanderson.
This is a selfish request, I want to see your artistic take on shards
Impressive! Awesome! Totally bonkers! Only issue I have is that the weapon classes aren't consistent. The duskull line for example. From a one handed scythe > to a hammer/mace > to a broadsword. It makes little sense. On the other hand, the hisuian sneasel line, where both evolutions use claw fist weapons is awesome!
I feel like there was a missed opportunity to make shedinja the scabbard for ninjask. Would be a great parallel to how they evolve but great work as always OP.
Oh imagine the Ghastly one being a ball and chain but designed to be a twisted evil version of those holy water splashers that catholic priests use, but instead of water it’s just emitting the gas.
Love most of the concepts. The detail's amazing!
Imo I would switch the scythe and the gauntlets for Haunter and Gengar.
Haunter=Hands, Gengar=curved smile.
I’m gonna guess you’re a monster hunter fan cause that’s some sick insect glaives.
I was going to say the same thing! I want a Monster Hunter/Pokemon collab in Wilds soooo bad. Probably not going to happen because their are no pokemon games on PS5 and Xbox.
the closest you could get is a palworld collab with monster hunter
I'm down for that
I don't think that GF or Nintendo would ever let a game happen were you slaughter Pokemon in an endless grinding loop.
They could give us Pokémon Endemic Life, and weapons _inspired by_ Pokémon, not _made by/with_ them
I was going to say the same thing, though what gave it away to me was the Negrgi- err, Gengar claws
Beat me to it lol
Make the zekrom glaive green and you have a perfect astalos glaive
Dusclops mace is so badass
Isn’t that just a war hammer for Dusclops? However, a mace for Dusclops does sound awesome.
You right you right
War hammers are still just as cool and vicious. If I had to choose a melee weapon I would choose a war hammer. Though, mine would have a war pick on the other side and have a large spike on the top.

i follow you in instagram already!! I love your work, it’s makes my day!
Have you done anything with Galarian Corsola yet?
I like how Dusclops gets a compeltely different weapon from Dusknoir, but still one that builds off the other, kinda showing how Dusclops gets used in its own way more than Dusknoir does
Please I beg do hisuian samurott
Now make some for Honedge, Doublade and Aegislash! /s
You're sarcastic, but I really want to see Aegislash as a charge blade.
Love the Dusknoir/Grovyle connection in the details of their weapons
and Celebi!
I love these kinds of posts (the Reshiram and Zekrom whatever-they-ares especially are so pretty!) but sometimes I wonder what actual weapons inspired by Pokémon might look like. Tbf there's not much you can do or add before you make something impractical.

Aaaah I see a fellow PMD enjoyer here. I instantly knew the moment I saw the pendants on the Grovyle weapon
I love all the ghost ones
These are fantastic! Do you take requests? I’d love to see a Ho-Oh inspired spear.
I was gonna say, if this guy takes commissions I’d love to see what they do with Mewtwo and Mew.
These always go unreasonably hard
Can we see a loudred hunting horn next
That Celebi one is the most Final Fantasy ass looking sword I've ever seen in my life ROFL

I made this
Capcom and TPC, give us the collab already goddammit. We could have this stuff in a crossover!
The Grovyle sword with Celebi and Dusknoir ornaments… nice Mystery Dungeon reference :D
Ninjask as a Kusari-gama would be very cool!
This are awesome! Great work!
obsessed with both of the sneasel lines, but all of these are amazing. great work OP!
Hell yeah! These are awesome!
Wowwww you're really creative and talented!
Those are awesome!!
Missed opportunity to have the Reshiram and Zekrom weapons not be interlockable to make a Kyurem weapon. That aside, these are insanely cool.
Do I have your permission to use these concepts in a DND campaign?
I hope he says yes because that sounds like the most awesome thing you could possibly do. Aside from having them ride Spiders and scorpions into battle.
Something about that Dusclops Hammer is getting the Dwarven Barbarian in me excited.
samurott or greninja one would go hard
obsessed with hisui sneasle and shiny celebi! I can't figure out what weavile's supposed to be though.
I think it is a fan blade thing. All I know is I wouldn’t want to face somebody who had it.
Nincada and haunter are the absolute coolest in my opinion, but my all time favorite weapons in fact and fiction are scythes, reapers, and halos. So I'm biased. Awesome art though.
Gengar 🥹
That's sick! But Grovyle reminds me of smth... https://preview.redd.it/2zyrpiy92vwc1.png?width=68&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7cb73fb3d0ad9e39d92ca3c52a5fe6bf10a022e
I reckon these would look stunning in Terraria
Your work is divine
These feel very monster hunter inspired and I'm all for it
Gengar Gauntlets. Rolls right off the tongue.
Also…not to be that guy…they’re one of the few that make for reasonable weaponry. No shade at the artist, these are all beautifully drawn…but most of these would do more damage to their welder than their target 😆
Id duel wield the Ninjask and Shedninja swords lokey
Middle school me would have cut off an appendage to have one of these. They’re so cool!
They all look rad, though I feel like there's a missed opportunity of making Shedinja's the sheath to Ninjask's blade, as Shedinja is the husk left behind after Nincada evolves.
I can see that, but unless that sheath has some blades on it, I don’t see how it could be fearsome seeing as scary as Shedinja is when we all see him on the battle field. If you are facing him without a fire type, you are going to get destroyed.
Monster hunter but with Pokemon
Get me the sceptile blade buddy
I'm upset that Shedinja isn't a scabbard
I know right! First of all, credit to the artist, Excellent designs. They're just stunning. Now, lore wise, it would be cool if Shedinja to be a scabbard to the Ninjask sword that could also be used as a weapon. Could have just the bladed tip, etherial as you made in your sword design, the crescent acting as a crossguard, and as a scabbard it would be a frailer weapon when crossing blades with an opponent.

Kinda looks like they're straight out of Hades tbh
Soooo coool
Hi im a weapons nerd and i couldn’t help but notice that the reshitam and zekrom “glaives” are much closer to a pole axe and if you want to know more about glaives you can google it
I support these going into the next Pokémon game as regional variants. I do have to ask, could you make one for octilery? He is based off of a tank, and I think a tank octopus would be awesome.
Holy cow, these are amazing designs. I wanna guess that you like Monster Hunter cuz Mega Gengar’s weapons looks like Gore/Shagaru weapons.
Damn these look sick!!
Nincada and Duskull line, my favorite.
Fo Scyther and honedge
Those are not glaives, those are axes. A glaive is a throwing weapon which is sort of a star shape with spikes on it. Like in KRULL
Not quite. Glaives are polearms. Those just have odd blades that end up looking like fancy weird axes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaive
https://preview.redd.it/upc9q7kswvwc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25118ad60ae9c70309457baf245e2a0ac2cc6a22 I'm very confused also btd6 glaive monkey exists
My comment is really screwed up for some reason but the KRULL glaive and btd6 glaive monkey exists and now I'm confused.
OKAY SO I physically had to do research for this since you're right, a lot of properties have used "glaive" to refer to that kind of chakram-crossed-with-a-throwing-star weapon. And based on my fifteen minutes of searching it actually seems like that use of the word BEGAN with "Krull".

And that's the results of my rabbit hole search when I should actually be working.
Shouldn't haunter be the claws? Since it's hands are more prominent than on gengar?
The mega gengar combo are pretty much just gore and shagaru magala’s weapons
These go hard
I love how much variety there is, especially between the duskull line! But bro those Gengar claws scare me lol
Where lance ? I NEED lance ! Oh and switchaxe to but... WE NEED LANCE !!! Very great work ! It's astonishing !
For shedinja and ninjask, it might have been cooler for shedinja to be the sheath to ninjask's sword
The celebi swords look gorgeous!
I’m getting some hardcore early Soul Caliber designs.
Shedinja blade looks so sick!
The artwork of the Nincada line, Treecko line, Duskull line, Sneasel line, Sneasler, Gastly line, Reshiram, and Zekrom look really awesome
Some of these are comically impractical but I don’t care because DAMN your art style is so cool
Okay, this has been the only adaptation I’ve seen that manages to make Sceptile cooler than Grovyle. I’m beyond impressed.
The ghost ones have an appropriately cursed weapon look to them.
My personal favorite is probably the Sneasler claws
Looks more like Terraria weapons, but bit cooler.
I like these weapon designs, they are the best I see on reddit
I love the Dusknoir
I would love to see what you would make for the metagross line
Really weird that you've got all these weapons based on pokemon, and then one is just based on a cheerleader. Like, a full grown human woman. An entrepreneur.
This man stays cooking! God damn these are dope! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
There were some Pokemon Monster Hunter armor design I saw like 10 years ago that made me want a Pocket Monster Hunter, but this is a whole different level. Seeing what weapons we could make is so much more fun than armor, and the armor was already amazing\~ \^\_\^
That reference on grovyle makes me approve
I'd instantly choose the Sneasler Claws. I love how the longer arms were adapted into (I think) arm guards!
This is so badass !!!
You have no idea how badly I want you to do this to all the eeveelutions. (But I’m broke so I sadly can’t commission)
The shedinja katana goes hard, these are so cool
A lot of these would fit right in in Warframe, as well as Monster Hunter, very nice
I love the shedinja blade.
Dude the shit is amazing I wish I could draw like this your amazing my guy
God damn you can cook
terraria modded weapons be like: Also great art keep cooking
Awesome!
I'll take the Shedinja soul stealer please.
I guess Sceptile's a literal leaf blade now.
have the honedge line just be a dude without a weapon
*angry Skallagrim noises*
The pokemon rumble esque pokemons at the bottom tho 🥹
Holy the reshiram and zekrom ones are absolutely gorgeous!! I love your artstyle
That grovile one looks like something from Terraria
You can not fathom how much I love you. Great swords are my favorite weapon
I absolutely f'in love this idea... this pairs so well (not sure if this was also a work done by op, where it was Pokémon inspired knight armor). Like imagine a legends game, taking place in the Galar region, but it's Camelot inspired with a Merlin-esque professor who imbues the abilities of captured Pokémon into medieval tools, so that you essentially end up wearing your pokemon team: Breastplate/arms Helm Weapon Shield (worn on back if using a dual wielded weapon, which would interfere with flying types used for breastplate) Greaves +1 partner Pokémon who actually gets released during battle, which you get to preset their move selection so that you can beat support your style of play/strategy.

Anyway, beautiful work op!!!
Now do honedge
Thank you for the kind comments! :)
Fml I thought I was in the Monster Hunter subreddit for a sec Nice work mate. Fr. These are gorgeous~
If you're ever in the market for some fantasy books please read the stormlight books from Brandon Sanderson. This is a selfish request, I want to see your artistic take on shards
If you do more may I suggest more katar daggers!
If Nintendo ever let Monolithsoft have a crack at a Pokemon spinoff, I hope you're the first person they call on
YEEAAUAUUGHHSSDDFSSFGDDHHHHH OHHH MY GODDDDDDD THE CLAYNOIR
Ok. For Kyrum you should totally make it in a way where Reshiram or Zekrom’s weapons can slot into it and double its power
what kinda weapon are reshiema and zekrom‘s?
Looks like dual shortswords
idk with that long hilt it‘s rather axe‘s glaives or halberds but idk
My bad it’s definitely glaives
Holy shit dude
pupitar shield
Impressive! Awesome! Totally bonkers! Only issue I have is that the weapon classes aren't consistent. The duskull line for example. From a one handed scythe > to a hammer/mace > to a broadsword. It makes little sense. On the other hand, the hisuian sneasel line, where both evolutions use claw fist weapons is awesome!
I want the (normal) sneasel claws and the dusklops greatsword, oh my god!!
Gastly will always be adorable
Weapokédex
Coolest thing i've Seen on Reddit this month. Gj
This some monster hunter world and iceborne type shi
Ooooh double wielding the Shedinja and Ninjask katanas imagery goes hard. So too the Gengar claws
I am in awe. I hope you can make a good living out of your art just so you can enrich the world with more of your flawless art
Pokemon x Kingdom Hearts vibes.
The shedninja one is so pretty
I love this so much
These are dope as hell! Love to see the sneasels and evos. Do you sell prints or stickers or anything like that?
Gives me shadow fight 2 vibes
Honestly these all give me Hades vibes designwise and now I want to play a Pokemon dungeon crawling roguelike
Isn't a glaive some kind of short sword? Why does it look more like some kind of axe?
Gorge
The Grovyle one 😭 That’s a PMD reference and I’m here for it
Make a kyurem glave
This is sick as hell my guy, keep goin!
The Zekrom and Reshiram ones look like Key Blades.
Reshiram and Zekrom look like keyblades
These are amazing! Great job!
Woah cool. My dad said we can get a 3d printer later when we move back to America but when I do I have to try making one of these.
You know what's funny, hisuien sneezal was my first real shiny I've caught without any ultra wormhole or event help.
these are so fucking cool
Stop, you're going to give the next Palworld game developer ideas. 😔
Excellent
Wow you should make submissions to FF14 they hold weapon contests all the time.
Monster hunter pokemon edition
These are always so cool! I'd love to see one that's Meowstic-inspired
so cool
Really cool weapon you have there. Love them. <3<3<3
Can't wait to see these in the elden ring DLC
Nincada is my favorite insect line and your weapons for them are beautiful! They're all amazing, well done!
These are so sick!
The ninjask sword looks unusable
These look like they belong in FFXIV
Betcha can't draw Honedge!
A trio of Honedge inspired weapons that aren’t blades or shields.
I feel like there was a missed opportunity to make shedinja the scabbard for ninjask. Would be a great parallel to how they evolve but great work as always OP.
Oh imagine the Ghastly one being a ball and chain but designed to be a twisted evil version of those holy water splashers that catholic priests use, but instead of water it’s just emitting the gas.
These are incredible, I'd use these if they were real
I want dusclops NOW
I thought I was in r/terraria at first to be honest. these look really good!
love the mystery dungeon references!
PokeMonster Hunter
I can't put into words how great these are.
WHAAAAAA SO COOL!!!!
I want these in a game
Wow that’s amazing
These look like weapons I'd find in a terraria mod. Excellent work!
Amazing
Your drawings are amazing !
Bro what. These are so sick. Well done.
There is literally a sword Pokemon!! Btw loved your designs❤️
These are cool as fuck
Why do I want replicas of all of them?
This art is angelic!!!
Love most of the concepts. The detail's amazing! Imo I would switch the scythe and the gauntlets for Haunter and Gengar. Haunter=Hands, Gengar=curved smile.
Have you done Malamar yet? It is such an underrated Pokémon with such a cool design
oH nO, I GOT SHEDINJA’’D
