Pokémon and Warhammer 40k collide in wild mashups—from Snorlax as Death Korps of Krieg to Charizard as a Salamander Space Marine!
What happens when you take Pokémon’s colorful charm and hurl it headlong into the grim darkness of Warhammer 40K? You get a lineup of hybrids that are as bizarre as they are brilliant. Snorlax is ditching its nap spot for the trenches of a Kriegsman, and Pikachu swaps out the simplicity of “Thunderbolt” for Tau Pathfinder gear. Whether you’re a fan of catching ‘em all or shouting “For the Emperor!” this mashup might be just the kind of chaos you didn’t know you needed.

Artist Wooblyai has brought together iconic Pokémon and given them a Warhammer 40K makeover that blends cute with crushingly grim. Whether it’s a flower-covered Venusaur turned Ork Squiggoth or Charizard stepping up as a Salamander Space Marine, these crossovers reimagine your childhood pals with a hefty dose of gothic brutality.
Think of this as a fun thought experiment: What if the worlds of vibrant battles and grim warfare collided? How would these Pokémon evolve—no pun intended—under the relentless demands of a universe where hope is as scarce as a critical hit from a Magikarp? Here’s a look at some of these bizarre yet fitting fusions and see how they fare on a battlefield that’s light-years away from Professor Oak’s lab.

Snorlax x Death Korps of Krieg Veteran: The Gentle Giant Goes Grimdark

Forget the nap-loving Snorlax of your childhood. Picture this: a colossal figure emerging from the smoke, clad in weathered trench armor, gas mask fixed in place, shuffling forward with unshakeable determination. This isn’t your average sleepy giant—it’s Snorlax as a veteran of the Death Korps of Krieg, where lethargy has been replaced by grim duty.
Pikachu x Tau Pathfinder: Lightning Fast and Deadly Precise

Pikachu is all about speed, agility, and zapping enemies into oblivion, so what happens when you upgrade that with Tau tech? Enter Pikachu as a Tau Pathfinder, armed with a sleek pulse rifle and some serious recon skills. The Tau are known for their ranged precision and reliance on advanced tech, which makes Pikachu an ideal candidate for a tactical makeover.

This hybrid creation melds Pikachu’s inherent quickness with the futuristic battlefield expertise of the Tau. Now equipped with cloaking devices, motion sensors, and pinpoint-accurate weaponry, Pikachu doesn’t just rush into battle; it zips through it unseen, picking off targets with well-placed shots and zapping the stragglers with a bolt of electricity for good measure.
Venusaur x Ork Squiggoth: A Behemoth Stomping Through the Green Tide

Venusaur’s transformation into an Ork Squiggoth is all about untamed nature meeting unbridled savagery. In this mashup, Venusaur’s iconic flower becomes a towering spiked fortress, while its plant-like armor is replaced by thick, gnarled hide covered in crude Orky embellishments. The once-docile Grass-type now channels the raw, chaotic energy of the Ork hordes, smashing through anything that dares stand in its path.

The addition of Ork tech and Squiggoth rage turns Venusaur into a terrifying force of destruction, with massive tusks and vine-like appendages thrashing everything around it.
Charizard x Salamander Space Marine: The Dragon of Nocturne Soars

Charizard has always been known for its fiery temper and soaring attacks, but mix in the discipline and craftsmanship of the Salamanders, and you’ve got a new kind of firestorm. As a Salamander Space Marine Captain, Charizard’s wings are strengthened by ceramite plating, while its iconic tail-flame blazes even hotter with the Promethean flame.
This fusion isn’t just about burning the enemy—it’s about controlled fury. Charizard as a Salamander is all about calculated strikes tempered by the wisdom and compassion the Chapter is known for.
Blastoise x Imperial Knight: A Walking Fortress of Aquatic Firepower

Blastoise has always been synonymous with heavy artillery, but when you cross it with the regal might of an Imperial Knight, you get something truly monumental. Picture Blastoise not just as a water cannon-wielding turtle, but as a towering, armored colossus striding across a devastated battlefield. Its dual hydro cannons are no longer just water blasters—they’ve been transformed into massive energy weapons capable of vaporizing entire squadrons in a single barrage.

Draped in the colors of a noble house, this Blastoise isn’t just a walking tank; it’s a symbol of honor, duty, and unyielding defense. Its carapace is adorned with banners, purity seals, and sigils of the Imperium, while its shell has been reinforced to withstand the heaviest of blows.
Gengar x Tzeentch Sorcerer: Master of Mischief and Mayhem

Gengar’s penchant for tricks and illusions makes it the perfect candidate to take on the role of a Tzeentch Sorcerer. In this hybrid form, Gengar’s mischievous grin is still present, but now it’s laced with the malevolent intent of the Changer of Ways. Swirling with warp energies, this Gengar has traded in pranks for eldritch sorcery, using its ghostly abilities to manipulate reality itself.

Floating ominously above the battlefield, this fusion exudes an aura of unpredictable power. It weaves through dimensions, conjuring bizarre manifestations and casting spells that twist fate and warp perceptions.
Jigglypuff x Tzeentch Pink Horror Daemon: Chaos with a Cute Twist

Don’t be fooled by Jigglypuff’s adorable appearance in this fusion. Imagine the sweet-voiced singer as a Pink Horror Daemon, its melody now a conduit for warp-fueled chaos. This hybrid is a colorful, shimmering entity that balances on the edge of whimsy and madness. Jigglypuff’s songs, once soothing lullabies, have become unsettling hymns that warp reality, turning pleasant dreams into eldritch nightmares.
Alakazam x Eldar Farseer: Psychic Precision in a Universe of War

Alakazam’s legendary intellect and psychic prowess make it a natural fit for the role of an Eldar Farseer. Imagine Alakazam draped in elegant, rune-etched armor, its spoons now crackling with the power of the warp as it navigates the strands of fate. This hybrid embodies both the ancient wisdom of the Eldar and Alakazam’s unyielding focus, creating a being capable of guiding entire armies with its foresight.

Every move Alakazam makes is calculated, each action part of a grander plan woven through the threads of time.
Muk x Great Unclean One: The Sludge of Nurgle’s Rot

Muk was already a walking mass of sludge, but now it’s something far worse: a Great Unclean One. Picture Muk’s gooey form, bloated and corrupted with the blessings of Nurgle, oozing disease and decay with every step. Its body is a festering mass of sores, oozing pus, and rot, delighted in spreading pestilence and despair.

This fusion takes Muk’s toxicity to grotesque new heights. The normally slow-moving pile of sludge has been twisted into a creature of boundless mirth, reveling in the misery it spreads.
Poliwrath x Ork Nobz Boy: The Bruiser with a Mean Streak

Poliwrath has always been a fighter, but now it’s an Ork Nobz Boy, and it’s here to smash heads with brutal glee. Imagine Poliwrath’s muscular form encased in crude Ork armor, its fists replaced with spiked gauntlets and oversized weapons. This isn’t just a Pokémon brawler anymore—it’s a full-on warrior relishing the mayhem of battle.

Charging into the thick of combat, this Poliwrath fights with the reckless abandon and sheer force that defines the Orks. It’s not about tactics or finesse; it’s about sheer, unrelenting aggression.
Hypno x Thousand Sons Sorcerer: The Hypnotic Herald of Change

Hypno’s control over minds finds a chilling new outlet in the form of a Thousand Sons Sorcerer. Clad in ornate, arcane armor, this Hypno wields the power of the warp with eerie precision. Its pendulum has transformed into a relic of dark sorcery, guiding the flow of warp energy as it casts spells to bend reality and dominate its enemies.

This fusion merges Hypno’s unsettling hypnotism with the cold intellect of a Chaos Sorcerer, creating a being that delights in unraveling minds and rewriting destiny.
