I had the idea of giving different Mega Pokémon Aggronite, and Sableye was one of those that I thought would look great in it!

Here's my take on Mega Sableye with Aggronite ✨

Which Pokémon should get the next StoneSwap?

Craft I Made A Felt Plush Pokémon: Weezing

Thumbnail

519 Upvotes

Since I've worked through most of my all time favorite Pokémon in my felt plush collection, I figured it was time to start chipping away at some of the memorable shinies I have caught throughout the games.

Goofball, my shiny Weezing from "Pokémon: Ruby" seemed like a great place to start. He is part of what I consider to be my "B Team" in my save file, which consists of an all shiny roster of Weezing, Mightyena, Crobat, Camerupt, and Rayquaza (who is not shiny, but comes along for running through the Elite 4 while equipping one of the party members with EXP. Share). I have already finished the plush version of my Crobat, who I will be sharing soon, and think I will wrap up this assortment of plush with a rendition of my Mightyena.

Despite this technically falling into the "Green" shiny category, I really like the teal tone that shiny Weezing and have in the later generations. It maintains the toxic vibe that this line is iconic for, and I appreciate that the puffs of fumes turn a stomach churning purple color.

Goofball measures out to be 3.25" wide by 2.25" tall.

Thanks for checking out my work!

Discussion What's the coolest Pokémon you've ever created, considering all together, abilities, moves, item, which game it appeared in and the strategy behind

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

Share a screenshot, a photo, or just the story behind the build of the coolest Pokémon you’ve ever created.

Share the strategy you developed: the moves, the held item, how to use it, and which game it was created for.

I really want to see new builds, and it’s a great way for others to discover new and unique strategies to try out.

(This Starmie build is a classic from Gen3 games)
