A Pokémon enthusiast has created a charming crocheted Eternatus, captivating the Pokémon community. Known for its impressive fan creations—ranging from plushies and paintings to intricate crochet work—this Eternatus stands out for its exceptional quality.
Eternatus, a legendary Poison/Dragon-type Pokémon from Generation VIII, is a memorable figure in Pokémon Sword and Shield, notable for its unique appearance and dual typing (shared only with Dragalge and Naganadel). While it doesn't evolve, it possesses a formidable Eternamax form encountered in the games' climax.
Pokémon crochet artist, pokemoncrochet, recently showcased their delightful creation on r/pokemon—a 32-second video of the crocheted Eternatus spinning gracefully, appearing almost airborne. The impressive likeness to the original Pokémon, combined with its undeniable cuteness, has earned widespread praise. However, the artist has indicated they'll likely focus on other Pokémon rather than tackling Eternatus' Eternamax form.
A Crocheted Pokémon Extravaganza
pokemoncrochet's ambitious project involves crocheting every single Pokémon. This undertaking, while monumental, isn't unprecedented. Several years ago, a similar project saw a fan crochet numerous Pokémon, including Togepi, Gengar, Squirtle, Mew, Torchic, and Staryu, sharing their creations online.
Other noteworthy crocheted Pokémon include the recent Johto starters (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile) crafted with exceptional detail and vibrant colors, and a remarkably lifelike, flexible Starmie.
The popularity of fan-made Pokémon crochet dolls shows no signs of waning. The upcoming release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A in 2025 will undoubtedly inspire even more creative crocheted renditions, potentially including new legendary Pokémon.
