Under rare circumstances, some Pokémon have been known to combine with other Pokémon or even people. This phenomenon, sometimes called fusion, has appeared across various Pokémon media, including the games, anime, and manga. Some Pokémon Evolutions are said to result from the merging of two or more Pokémon, with separation resulting in devolution in certain cases.

Additionally, Pokémon fusion has been a popular subject in the Pokémon fandom and has been the focus of some notable fan projects and websites.

Pokémon RéBURST

Ryouga after combining with Zekrom

Burst is a special technique in the Pokémon RéBURST manga that allows a human to combine with a Pokémon, gaining its powers and immunities while increasing the user's physical and defensive strengths.

In order for one to perform Burst, they will need a special item known as a Burst Heart, a small, pocket sized jewel that actually holds a Pokémon inside of it, sealed so that its power can be used by anyone wishing to fuse with it. Once Burst is activated, the user will have their physical traits increased greatly. Whatever abilities the user will get depends on the type of Pokémon used to combine. Additionally, a person can be sent inside of their Burst Heart in order to better connect with the Pokémon inside.

Splicing

Splicing is the process of taking existing Pokémon sprites and combining them to create new and unique sprites. These sprites may represent literal fusions of the component Pokémon or other ideas such as entirely original Pokémon or altered versions of existing Pokémon. These sprites may be created as fan art or to be added to fan games, as well as to be shared in online communities and forums.
