Summary
APokemonfan has created an adorable sleepy Psyduck through crochet. The plush looks perfect for anyone who loves Psyduck, the headache-ridden Pokemon with psychic powers.
Pokemonfans create fan art of their favorite creatures all the time, and some of them utilize traditional crafting techniques to create designs like these. Crochet, embroidery, and even quilting withPokemonthemes have been explored over the years, and creative fans show no signs of slowing down.
Now, aPokemonfan going by the name of lalisajaa on Reddit or fonsahh on Instagram has shared their own adorable crochet creation of Psyduck. The sleepy Psyduck has its eyes closed and is seated, with its back flippers up in front of its belly. Its wings/arms are down at its sides, and it looks like thePokemon is sleepingpeacefully, perhaps getting a break from its chronic headaches. Lalisajaa noted that they felt like everyone could related to a sleepy Psyduck, and fans were charmed by the design.
This Psyduck crochet is a type of Amigurumi, which is the art of creating plush toys through crochet. The three-dimensional creations have been made with Pokemon before, with everything from Gengar to Kingdra getting the crochet treatment. It’s a unique alternate take on the typicalPokemonplush toys one might find at a store likeBuild-a-Bear, which tend to use soft fleece fabric for the exterior of the Pokemon.
Psyduck’s Enduring Popularity Isn’t Based on New Forms
Psyduck is a Gen 1 Pokemon that attained much of its fame and popularity thanks to its presence as a Pokemon ofMisty in thePokemonanimeseries. Psyduck was notorious for popping out of its Poke Ball at will when least expected - or wanted, depending on the situation - sometimes serving as comedic relief, and othertimes saving the day due to its headache triggering its psychic abilities.
Psyduck is quite popular.Pokemondev Junichi Masuda has even declared Psyduck as his favorite, going so far as to enter tournaments with the Duck Pokemon. Despite this fondness, though, Psyduck has never received a regional variant or a unique form like a Mega Evolution or Gigantamax. While it could Dynamax inPokemon Sword and Shieldlike every Pokemon in the entry, some fans are likely hoping that Psyduck will get some additional attention in future games. It remains to be seen if Psyduck will make an appearance inPokemon Legends: Z-A, but with the return of Mega Evolutions, it might be thePokemonicon’s time to shine.
