Pokemon Fan Crochets Impressive Slowbro Plush With a Twist
A Pokemon fan has shared their custom Slowbro crochet plush with the world, and its adorable appearance and clever concept are winning over Pokemon players. While there's plenty of official Pokemon plush toys available for sale, the level of dedication required to create a hand-made plush like this is impressive.
Slowbro is a popular Pokemon largely due to its cute design and derpy qualities. Slowbro is the evolved form of Slowpoke, which notably has a Shellder biting its tail. According to the lore, the Shellder and Slowbro have something of a symbiotic relationship, as Slowbro becomes numb to pain from the Shellder's poisonous bite, and the Shellder gains sustenance and even feeds off Slowbro's leftovers. It's an unusual Pokemon, as lore states that Slowbro devolves back to Slowpoke if the Shellder is lost or its tail is broken off.
A Pokemon fan going by the name of ConstanzaL has created a Slowbro plush with that particular element in mind. The entire plush is crocheted, with Slowbro's blank expression and colorful body reproduced faithfully. While the creation would be cute enough on its own with Shellder permanently attached to Slowbro's tail, it's a separate piece that can actually be removed. It's a clever addition to an already impressive design that many fans particularly appreciate.
Fans of the plush were curious about how it was made. ConstanzaL not only crochets the plush toys, but also develops the pattern to make them with. They run a shop that sells the patterns, including the one used to make this Slowbro. The Slowbro plush itself doesn't seem to be for sale, but for fans who know how to crochet, they can make one all their own.
Slowbro and the rest of its evolutionary line have been popular since its debut in Pokemon Red and Blue. While some Pokemon from the early games have fallen by the wayside in recent years, Slowpoke has continued to see lots of changes and new forms. It quickly received an alternate evolution in the form of Slowking in Gen 2,
