Greetings, Trainers!
Our Halloween Art Competition returns for 2026! Last year’s entries were full of imaginative designs and spooky stories, and we’re looking forward to seeing what you create this time. Get your art supplies ready and give your favourite Pokémon a Halloween transformation!
Design your own Halloween form of a Pokémon and bring it to life in a hand-drawn, coloured artwork on paper. Give it a short backstory to tell us what makes your creation special.
- Draw and colour your entry by hand on paper. Digital artwork, printed outlines and digital colouring are not allowed.
- Write your in-game username clearly at the bottom of the paper.
- Post a clear photograph of your completed drawing as a reply to this thread.
- Include a short backstory or “lore” about your Pokémon. How did it take this form? What unusual powers or traits does it have?
- Submit one entry per person, including across alternate accounts. You may include more than one Pokémon in your drawing.
- AI use is not allowed in any part of your entry. This includes generating concepts, reference images or outlines, colouring or altering the artwork, and writing or rewriting the lore. Drawing an AI-generated design on paper does not make it an eligible entry.
- Both the artwork and story must be your own. No tracing, copied designs, commissions or work made by someone else. You may use official Pokémon images as a reference, but create your own Halloween design.
- Create a new piece for this year’s competition. Entries from previous events cannot be reused.
- You may crop, rotate or make basic lighting corrections to your submission photo. Filters and retouching that change the artwork are not allowed.
- Keep your entry suitable for the community. Spooky designs are welcome, but graphic gore, sexual content and hateful imagery are not.
Please record short videos at different stages of your drawing: during the sketch, while colouring and as you add the finishing touches. Show your hand actively working on the original paper, with your in-game username visible.
You do not need to film the entire process, show your face or include audio. There is also no need to upload these videos with your entry.
Staff may request your progress videos privately to verify your work. Keep the original clips and your drawing until rewards have been distributed. A video showing only the finished artwork, or a slideshow of photos, is not enough to demonstrate how it was made.
Entries that do not follow the rules, or cannot be verified when requested, may be disqualified and will then be ineligible for prizes and participation rewards.
15th of November 2026
We’ll be looking at originality, creativity, artistic skill and how well your lore brings the Halloween design to life.
Win an exclusive Halloween Typhlosion!
The top three entries will also receive a Pokémon dialog style.
Additionally, all participants with a valid entry will receive the Rainbow Wisp Mount as a reward for their creative contribution!
Good luck, Trainers!
