• An evolution of Artifish was designed at one point, but rejected. It featured shaggy swamp-like fur, and the Poké Ball pattern on the tip of its snout.

Design origin

Early concepts and designs for Artifish.

1/2

Artifish is based on an anglerfish and the use of lures and deception in nature. Its appearance is also similar to that of a sea toad.

Artifish originally had a much more threatening appearance, with sharp, blade-like teeth and dark green stripes.

Name origin

Artifish's name is a combination of artifice and fish. It also evokes the word artificial.
