* '''Naga Pokémorphs''' - Based off the {{wp|Nāga|nāgas}} of {{wp|Hinduism}} and {{wp|Buddhism}}, these Pokémorphs have some of the parts, especially the arms, of a human, but the body and appearances of a serpentine Pokémon, such as {{p|Arbok}} and {{p|Seviper}}. | * '''Naga Pokémorphs''' - Based off the {{wp|Nāga|nāgas}} of {{wp|Hinduism}} and {{wp|Buddhism}}, these Pokémorphs have some of the parts, especially the arms, of a human, but the body and appearances of a serpentine Pokémon, such as {{p|Arbok}} and {{p|Seviper}}. | ||

* '''Combiomorph''' - A rare kind of Pokémorph, combiomorphs were created by fan fiction writer, <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1507250/pikachuhunter1 pikachuhunter1]</span>, in the fan fiction, ''<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4095642/1/Pokemon_Periwinkle_Its_Real Pokémon Periwinkle: It's Real]</span>''. They are described by pikachuhunter1 as "a combination of two Pokémon and a human. The human side of them is the most prominent, and whoever is afflicted with being a combiomorph is able to turn into either [one] of the Pokémon associated with them." Their appearances look similar to that of chimeras, which are mythical creatures composed of different animal parts. | * '''Combiomorph''' - A rare kind of Pokémorph, combiomorphs were created by fan fiction writer, <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1507250/pikachuhunter1 pikachuhunter1]</span>, in the fan fiction, ''<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4095642/1/Pokemon_Periwinkle_Its_Real Pokémon Periwinkle: It's Real]</span>''.

* '''[[Burst]]''' - A technique used in [[Pokémon RéBURST]] that allows a human to temorarily transform into a Pokemon-Human hybrid using a special item called a '''Burst Heart''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｂ|バースト}}ハート'''). This is very much in the vein of the typical [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HenshinHero Henshin Hero], though the owner can enter the Burst Heart in order to communicate with the Pokemon trapped inside. As of now, this is the only instance of Pokémorphs appearing in any canon. | |||
