Papercraft is an increasingly popular art form that allows people to be creative and pay tribute to their favorite shows, symbols, characters, and figures.
One extremely well-loved show that we’re sure you’ll know is the anime franchise Pokémon.
The anime draws fans of all ages, and if you want to celebrate your love for Pokémon and create all sorts of amazing decorations and collectibles – paper crafting is your best bet!
Let’s catch them all!
Most people have heard of Pokémon. This Japanese franchise is short for the term “pocket monsters” and is premised on characters (called “trainers”) who catch, train, and battle with the Pokémon creatures that they collect.
Trainers use their Pokéball to catch different creatures. Currently, there are 1,016(!) Pokémon species with different special powers that can be caught and battled against other Pokémon.
This franchise has expanded into many different media types over the decades. It was first released as a GameBoy video game, and since then has spawned multiple other gaming titles.
It’s best known for being adapted into an anime television series, and as a media franchise has become one of the highest-grossing in history.
It’s every PokéMaster’s dream to have their own Pokémon creatures. For the more artistic and creative Pokémon fans out there, Pokémon papercrafts are the perfect hobby or gift!
Pokémon papercraft lovers can take on the challenge of crafting their favorite characters and building up a physical collection.
They make for great decoration, too! Pokémon papercraft can be made in any size and as figurines or wall hangings.
One blog in particular, PaperPokés, was created by lovers of both Pokémon and papercraft. They merged these interests, using this online platform to share their tributes to the wonders of Pokémon.
For the budding Poké Papercrafter, this site is a massive resource where you can download all your favorites and get building!
It’s not a stretch to say that Pikachu is the most famous Pokémon creature, especially as it's one of the central, original characters. Pikachu is also the most loyal partner of the lead protagonist, Ash – and who doesn’t want one of those?
In the Pokémon world, Pikachu is a small, yellow, rodent-like creature with brown stripes across its back and rosy little cheeks. It’s a ground-dwelling creature known for its electric powers.
This model is actually quite easy to build. You’ll end with a small- to medium-sized collectible that’s super cute. And if you want a cozier appearance, there’s even an optional green, blue, or red scarf to dress your Pikachu with!
Bulbasaur is another famous Pokémon that enjoys the honor of being the first species in the PokéDex. It's a reptilian creature that looks like a cross between a frog and a dinosaur, with the characteristic garlic-shaped bulb on its back.
This is another model that can be downloaded from PaperPokés. It’s best to begin at the bulb section of the model and work your way down to the rest of the body and the feet.
This Bulbasaur papercraft is a small, adorable collectible item — perfect for adding to your favorite Pokémon collection. At just 14 cm in height and 33 pieces in total, it’s relatively easy to craft.
Not all Pokémon are cute and cuddly, and Beedrill is a prime example. This menacing Pokémon resembles a huge wasp and is notorious for chasing opponents relentlessly. Fortunately, it’s harmless as a papercraft!
This Pokémon papercraft design is a bit more complex than the others we’ve listed so far.
That’s because of its many pieces, spindly legs, and delicate features such as wings and antennae. You’ll have to follow instructions carefully and be gentle when handling each piece.
The model stands at 17.7 cm and contains 49 pieces. It’ll look great sitting on a shelf or on your desk!
So far, we’ve listed plenty of Pokémon creature papercraft – but what about trainers?
As the television series’ former main protagonist, Ash is everyone’s favorite!
Show your appreciation for this Pokémon master by building a design based on him. This Ash papercraft turns the trainer into a cute little cube, and he’ll fit right into your collection of other cube characters.
This quirky, forest-dwelling creature resembles a carnivorous plant. Fans of the original series will know Victreebel as the sidekick of one of the recurring villains, James.
PaperPokés also has a design for this humble Pokémon, and it’s not all that difficult to craft either.
Standing 17 cm tall, this Victreebel papercraft is great hidden among your houseplants and as a tabletop decoration!
Vileplume is another plant-inspired Pokémon which closely resembles a rafflesia flower.
It has a large, pink, flower-like body part atop its head that covers its face from the sun. In the Pokémon universe, its petals are the largest in the world!
At just 15 cm tall, this Vileplume design pairs well with Victreebel in your home garden, among your houseplants, and as decoration on your shelves.
Every Pokémon fan dreams of having their own Poké Ball.
That’s why this Poké Ball papercraft is a must-have for your collection! It’s a small and relatively simple design, and it makes for a great little decoration sitting on your desk or side table.
Poliwag is a small, round, tadpole-looking creature. It’s light blue and has a bright red mouth with pursed lips. Its key characteristic is the black and white swirl on its tummy!
Because of how cute Poliwag is, it’s an essential addition to your Pokémon papercraft collection.
When complete, this model stands 9.5 cm tall, making it an easy craft for mini decorations. For this one, start with the head and body, then add the feet last!
If the Pokémon series had another mascot, Eevee would be a strong contender.
It’s another rodent-like creature that has a similarly cute appearance to Pikachu. Eevee’s major appeal is its versatility; it can evolve into all kinds of subtypes!
This Eevee papercraft design stands 15 cm in height, making it another suitable design for your desk.
The design should be crafted from head to tail, with great care taken around the neck area. The difficulty level of design is easy to medium – ideal for those who are starting to get the hang of this hobby!
Lickitung is perhaps one of the quirkiest species of Pokémon out there.
These rare, forest-dwelling creatures are known for their lengthy tongues that’ll lick anything that comes into their path. And since these tongues are powerful, they’re quite useful in battle, too.
To craft this 59-piece Lickitung design, you’ll first build the tongue before the rest of the body. Because of its number of pieces, this is a medium-level difficulty papercraft.
