Beta Xatu:
In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, Natu & Xatu were both brown, and Natu evolved into Xatu via Heart Stone -- a scrapped item also used for Politoed and Espeon. Check out those back sprites.

Oh since supposedly designs work forwards to New Horizons, here's the Pokemon shirts I made a while back if anyone would like them.
(Muk, Alolan Muk, Magikarp, Xatu)
ging freecss + aerodactyl, xatu, sigilyph, cofagrigus, shiny claydol, unown
Just sceptile and xatu idiots who spent 3 Years pining and thinking the other one didn't like them back. Y'know, the usual.
xatu belongs to @Ximisy!
Stream was so relaxing today 💜
Thanks to @redhawkplays for the raid (go check out his new art account!! @HawkieDoodles ), and to @KingxCmart for the gift subs 😍 He's still streaming, so go hang out if you want to have a fun time🔥
Drew this absolute weirdo - Unown/Xatu fusion!
The old one is from 2008 😂
Xatu (right) belongs to @sardonic_wolf and also had a major glow-up
Beta Espeon:
In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, instead of happiness, Eevee evolved into Espeon via Heart Stone -- a scrapped item also used for evolving Natu into Xatu & Poliwhirl into Politoed.

@PeachBumz I'll give it a go, have a big Xatu magician! Hope she is ok!
Must commission you sometime!
Redesigned my xatu gjinka, Ling. He grew up on the streets, and is pretty spacey because he can see the (potential) future(s) near constantly (2019<--2011)
Beta Xatu:
In Gold & Silver's 1997 demo, Natu evolved into Xatu via Heart Stone (a scrapped item also used for Politoed and Espeon). Take special note of Xatu's back sprites.
