Summary
One creativePokemonfan is reimagining Mewtwo as an Ice-type. Mewtwo is one of thePokemonseries' original Legendary pocket monsters, making its debut in first-generation titlesPokemon Red and Blue. Its popularity perhaps culminated when it was featured in the franchise’s first feature film, but the Pokemon has remained a fan-favorite over the decades.
As a popular character within the series, Mewtwo is no stranger to creative reimaginings from fans. Notably, onePokemon Scarlet and Violetfan created paradox forms of Mega Mewtwo X and Y. When it comes toPokemonfan art, turning popular creatures on their head by introducing new evolutions, fusing two characters together, and even swapping types are all common practices. While imaginative artists use all sorts of creatures from various generations of the series, popular Pokemon like Mewtwo are commonly the subject of such pieces. That said, fans have likely never seen the Gen 1 Legendary quite like this before.

Reddit user and active fan artist JJonnie shared their recentPokemonpiece that reimagines Mewtwo as an epic Ice-type creature, aptly named Mewthrice. The artist cleverly weaves in the naming mechanic between Mew and Mewtwo, all while alluding to the creature’s Ice-type nature in the moniker. JJonnie is popular within thePokemonfan art community due to their inspired transformations that typically involve swapping types for all sorts of pocket monsters across generations. For example, thePokemonfan turned Machamp into a Rock-type. The artist has also recently tackled popular Pokemon like Heracross, Gyarados, Decidueye, Eevee, and Dragonite to name a few.
Not only does JJonnie design fantastic pieces of art like this, but the talented fan also writes thoughtful Pokedex entries for most of their creations. Mewthrice, of course, is no different. JJonnie describes Mewthrice as “the revived cyborg” Pokemon. According to the artist, Mewtwo transformed into Mewthrice after being “fatally wounded” in battle. The Pokemon now sports a cryogenic suit that keeps its cells from degenerating. Needless to say, if canon, Mewthrice would likely rank among thebest Ice-type Pokemon.
Unlike the cryogenically frozen Mewthrice, Mewtwo remains alive and well in thePokemonseries. The franchise’s current mainline RPGPokemon Scarlet and Violetrecently held a Mew and Mewtwo raid eventthat allowed players to battle and capture the formidable Legendary. Trainers fortunate enough to get their hands on Mewtwo during the event can use their newly obtained creature inPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s second (and presumably final) wave of DLC coming on December 14.
