Summary
Though it was a late Valentine’s Day gift, aPokemonfan crocheted an adorable Mudkip doll for their significant other, who then posted a picture of the doll for others to see. The twoPokemonfans received compliments on social media, with a number of them being directed at the doll’s creator and the bond that the two trainers have.
Known as the Mud Fish Pokemon, Mudkip is the Water-type starter of the Hoenn region. It evolves into Marshtomp and Swampert at levels 16 and 36, respectively. With a blue, slimy body, a large fin on its head, and a blank but adorable expression on its face, Mudkip has been considered a fan-favorite amongPokemontrainers for its design. While Mudkip itself is not that special inPokemonbattles, its fully-evolved form, Swampert, is a bulky, Water and Ground physical attacker with decent defenses to compensate for its slow speed. InPokemon Scarlet and Violet,some wild Mudkip can be obtained in The Indigo Disk DLCafter upgrading the Coastal Biome part of the Terrarium for 3,000 BP.
Though crochet creations of Mudkip have beenmade alongside the other Hoenn startersbefore, onePokemonfan decided to add a special touch to their creation before giving it to someone special. A British Reddit user named neon_draco shared a picture of the crocheted Mudkip doll they received from his girlfriend on the r/Pokemon subreddit. The crochet Mudkip had a lighter shade of blue for its body, but its whiskers and head fin remained intact. In addition to the Mud Fish Pokemon, the OP’s girlfriend also crocheted a Poke Ball to go alongside it. The Mudkip and Poke Ball crochet dolls were placed next to a DualShock 4 Controller for scale. The Mudkip crochet doll was only a few inches larger than the controller.
A Mudkip Crochet Plush For Valentine’s Day
The homemade crochet made for neon_draco by his girlfriend, known as chepileaf on Instagram and Etsy, was made as a late Valentine’s Day gift. In the comments, somePokemontrainers asked if chepileaf planned to sell any similar wares online, so the OP gave links to the shops that his significant other maintains in response. AlthoughMudkip plush dolls have been made by Build-a-Bearand other major retailers, homemade dolls such as ones by chepileaf continue to be popular amongPokemonfans.
While otherPokemon have had crocheted dolls madein their image, Mudkip’s charming design has made the Mud Fish Pokemon one of the most marketable Water Pokemon. Only time will tell whatPokemonfans will craft next.
