Slowpoke Papercraft



I've received a lot of praises for the previous Pokemon posts, but even more was the request for it. So, I guess I'll post the rest of what I have in the following days to come. But today, we have Slowpoke (ヤドン Yadon), number 79 on the Pokedex (ポケモン図鑑 Pokemon Zukan), it got it's name from the same word which is used to call a person who is extremely lazy or being a plodder/trudger. Or you could also look at it as a combination of the words slow and Pokemon. There's really nothing much to say about it's abilities, as it's name says it all. It is however, describe as a water type/base Pokemon that excels at fishing with the use of it's tail.

Sadly, this is not a Chokipeta papercraft, but a good one nonetheless. It was released by the Jupiter Corporation (Japan) from their Magic Craft series of papercrafts which includes Pokemon (sets of 3), Hamtaro, Kirby, and many more.
