A talented Pokémon fan has created a charming crocheted Eternatus. The Pokémon community boasts many skilled artisans who express their love for the franchise through various crafts, including plushies, crochet work, paintings, and fan art. This particular Eternatus stands out due to its exceptional quality.
Eternatus, a legendary Poison/Dragon-type Pokémon from Generation VIII, is a memorable character in Pokémon Sword and Shield, known for its unique design and rare dual typing shared only with Dragalge and Naganadel. While it doesn't evolve, it possesses an elusive Eternamax form encountered during the games' climax.
Reddit user pokemoncrochet showcased their adorable Eternatus creation in r/pokemon, delighting fellow fans with a 32-second video of the crocheted doll seemingly floating on a thread. The impressive likeness to the original Pokémon, combined with its undeniable cuteness, has garnered significant praise. However, the artist has indicated they'll likely focus on new Pokémon rather than tackling Eternatus' Eternamax form.
A Crocheted Pokémon Collection Takes Shape
pokemoncrochet also revealed their ambitious goal: crocheting every single Pokémon. While a monumental undertaking, this isn't unprecedented. Several years ago, another dedicated fan embarked on a similar project, sharing their delightful creations online, including beloved Pokémon like Togepi, Gengar, Squirtle, Mew, Torchic, and Staryu.
Many outstanding crocheted Pokémon have graced the community. Recent highlights include a detailed set of Johto starters (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile) and a remarkably lifelike, flexible Starmie.
The popularity of fan-made Pokémon crochet dolls continues to grow. The upcoming release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A in 2025 will undoubtedly inspire even more creations, potentially featuring new legendary Pokémon, adding to the already impressive roster of crocheted companions.
