Summary
APokemonfan has shared their custom Slowbro crochet plush with the world, and its adorable appearance and clever concept are winning overPokemonplayers. 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 thatSlowbro devolves back to Slowpokeif the Shellder is lost or its tail is broken off.
APokemonfan 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 withShellder 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. Theyrun a shopthat 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 its Long-Lasting Popularity
Slowbro and the rest of its evolutionary line have been popular since its debut inPokemon 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, and since then has received Mega Evolutions as well as analternate Galarian Formthat appeared inPokemon Sword and Shieldas well asPokemon Scarlet and Violet.
While there’s no telling what’s next forSlowpoke and its evolutions, fans will likely continue to love the creature and make clever pieces of fanart like this in the years to come.
