This Mega Emboar fan concept comes from ZBlawn on X. This take on the Pokemon puts it in a suit of armor, which is what its brown fur seems to have morphed into. Fire sprouts around its face in two spots — around its beard and from the tip of its eyebrows.

u/El-psy-congroo01 posted this fan concept for an Emboar Mega Evolution on Reddit. This version swaps out regular Emboar's Fighting-type for a Dark-type after Mega Evolving. There is precedent for such a type swap, like Gyarados that loses its Flying typing for a Dark typing in its Mega form.

Besides the typing change, we can see that Mega Emboar has huge flames spouting from its neck region. There's even a small flame emerging from the tip of its tail, too.

4) Mega Emboar based on the leaks

This fan art comes from @diertagnan, who posted this on X. The idea for this concept, which the artist has also noted, comes from leaks that reportedly reveal Emboar is getting a Mega Evolution. These leaks even gave an idea of what Mega Emboar would look like, which @diertagnan has used in their fan art.

The leaks suggest that Mega Emboar is inspired by ancient Chinese soldiers, a theme we have seen in previous designs on this list. But the leaks also mention the presence of a spear made of flames, which has been beautifully depicted by the artist.

5) Mega Emboar as a quadruped

This version of Mega Emboar comes from @amalryart, posted on Facebook. The artist has actually made a few drastic changes to help Mega Emboar stand out from its base form. For starters, in this design, Emboar appears to move around on all fours after undergoing Mega Evolution.

Additionally, besides the wreath of flames surrounding its face, its head appears to have gained an overall reddish hue. It has also gained a second set of tusks, though these are smaller than the existing ones. Finally, the artist has depicted flaming chains emerging from the fire around its neck.
