A popular Pokemon Sword and Shield piece of art rumored to be starter Scorbunny’s final evolution has been proven false after the artist stepped forward.
The Pokemon Sword and Shield frenzy is growing out of control, as it always does following the announcement of a main series Pokemon title. Pokemon communities are filled with fanart and fiction surrounding the game’s protagonists and starter Pokemon: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. But one piece of art, rumored to be a leaked concept of Scorbunny’s final evolution, is gathering more attention than most. Unfortunately, it’s completely fake and was never intended to be confused for a real leak.
The rumor stems from an image of a rocket-powered bunny Pokemon with large ears that can turn into jet wings. The rumor gained credence due to it bearing similarities to leaked concept art for Rowlett, Litten, and Popplio well before the launch of Pokemon Sun and Moon.
