Chibi Raikou

 


                                              Entei             Suicune 


Burned tower coming soon.        

Commentary:
I have to admit Raikou is one of my favorite legendary Pokemon. In my opinion, it just looks super cool; A legendary black and yellow dog with a hint of purple and blue sign me up. I think based off this opening sentence you would think I would have used it while playing through Soulsilver or Heartgold at least once and have funny story to tell. But nope. I only used legendary Pokemon in my main team when Istarted playing Pokemon Diamond (I went back to play FireRed and Emerald but Diamond was my first Pokemon game). Even the shiny Raikou I got from the mystery gift event; I never have used as it is still level 30. If I ever have the time to rerun Heartgold or Soulsilver, I may need to use this Pokemon just to because.

Pokedex Entry:
Alright, the Ho-oh myth is still in tacted after reading's Raikou's pokedex entry. According to the Pokedex, Raikou carries a rain cloud on its back (I'm assuming the purple thinggy on its body) allowing Raikou to shoot thunderbolts at will. Furthremore, it is known that its bark sounds like crashing thunder. Well, those are the two entries for Raikou. After reading the entries, I am given the vibe that Raikou is just Zeus but as a dog. Just my two cents.

Model Details:
Pages: 2
Height: 2.85 in / 7.24 cm
Width: 1.85 in / 4.70 cm
Depth: 4.27 in / 10.85 cm
Download:3D Model / Templates
Notes: This model is not too difficult to build. Build the head, body, and other parts separately and attach them together once you are done building. Before closing the body, place a small weight inside so the model can stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Croconaw

 




Commentary:
It died to Whitney's Miltank😡. If you don't understand go read Totodile's entry. It's shiny looks cool though.

Pokedex Entry: 
I like this Croconaw's entry. It only has one in all its game. According to the pokedex, when Croconaw bites down, it will not let go until it loses its fang. A new fang will quickly grow in its space. Pretty cool😃.

Model Details:
Pages: 1
Height: 2.50 in / 6.35 cm
Width: 1.43 in / 3.63 cm
Depth: 2.10 in / 5.33 cm
Notes: Down below I have included a video of me making the model so you can see everything I did to make the model. Something that may be unclear in the video is that for the fangs I just cut some scrap paper into triangles and glued them in the general locations of the fang. There is the option to make the fangs 3D there is the option to, but I'm lazy😎. Also, for the red spikes I did not use the tabs but rather cut out the designated spike and glued and folded along the line of symmetry. Besides that I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Marshtomp

 






Commentary:
I always forget Marshtomp is ground type. I know that Swampert is a ground type and Mudkip is not, but Marshtomp is in between so I always forget. I have no funny or interesting story to tell about Marshtomp, since it is a middle evolution, so I thought I try to find a cool set on Smogon. Yeah, there is nothing posted for Marhstomp regarding movesets, so instead, a cool fact though is that takes about 5140 to 5396 steps for Marshtomp hatch time. I'll let you sit on that... 

Pokedex Entry:
Here me out, Marshtomp is Pokemon's equivalent of a pig, but as a water type. According to the Pokedex, Marshtomps lives in muddy grounds, like pigs, and enjoys play in mud, like pigs but, on beaches when the ocean tide is low. It plays in mud so much that its legs have adjusted to become sturdy in this substance as well as giving Marshtomp the ability to travel faster in mud that it is at swimming. Furthermore, it burrows deep in the mud to sleep. So basically, my only claim that Marshtomp is a pig is that it lives and enjoys playing in mud, but I am sticking to it. 

Model Details:
Pages: 1
Height: 2.35 in / 5.97 cm
Width: 1.73 in / 4.39 cm
Depth: 1.31 in / 3.33 cm
Notes: This model is straightforward to build. Build the model head down. The only suggestion I have is to use the tail to help the model to stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Totodile


Commentary:
One day, I wanted to attempt a Pokemon SoulSilver nuzlocke. It had been a few years since I played this game and I wanted to run through the game blindly. I did not know which starter I picked so and I had quite of bit of time on my hands. I decided that the first shiny starter I got would be my starter. I think you will understand where I am going with this, but if you don't, Totodile was that starter.  Yeah...I have a shiny totodile evolution. I would have loved to say that I was able to take all sixteen gym badges and took out arguably the strongest trainer of all time with my shiny Feraligtr by my side. But yeah, I wiped to Whitney Miltanks😪. Sad times. Since then, I transferred that Totodile to another game and I have not touched that game since. And if anyone was wondering, I did manage to successfully shiny hunt for the others starts after I failed this run.

Pokedex Entry:
Totodile has a consistent entry in all games it appears in. According to the pokedex, Totodile has a habit of biting anything with its developed jaw and that even its trainer needs to be careful around it. Furthermore, its jaw can crush anything... wait anything I think you get what I am hinting at. 


Model Detail:
Pages: 1
Height: 2 in / 5.08 cm
Width: 1.22 in / 3.10 cm

Depth: 1.84 in / 4.67 cm
Notes: I'm trying to make building my models easier by making videos, so I have included the video down below. I suggest you subscribe. I do not believe it is too clear in the video, but for the teeth I just cut triangles in 2D from some scrap paper and glued them in the general location of the teeth. Besides that, the model is not too difficult to build, and you will want to include a small weight in the body to make the model easier to stand. I hope you enjoy and stay tune!

Chibi Moltres


Commentary:
Out of all the birds, in my opinion, this one is the worst. When I first played through Pokemon FireRed I caught all the birds thinking this would make the elite four easier to complete. I had planned to use Moltres for some of Lorelei's and Bruno's Pokemon as I could use the super effective moves Fire Blast (yes, as a kid it was all about damage) to knock out some of Lorelei's ice types and fly to knock out Bruno's fighting types. It took me many tries to defeat the elite four. And none of the previous ideas mentioned above worked. Moltres never lived more than two turns against either the Lorelei, Dewgong, Cloyster, or Lapras as they all used some water move, each Pokemon had, and its Fire Blast never was able to take any of these Pokemon in one-shot. Bruno's Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee were easily one shotted by Moltres's Fly, but Machamp was bulky enough to take two flys and thus able to kill Moltres with either rockslide or cross chop (I do not remember). So yeah, in my opinion Moltres was quite useless when I used it. All the other members on the team played a large role in beating elite four for the first time, but that is a story for another day. 
 
Go check out http://www.pokemonpapercraft.net/2021/07/moltres.html if you want a challenge and want to build the more detailed model:

Pokedex Entry:
According to the pokedex, with every flap of its wings, Moltres creates a dazzling flare of flames that turns the night sky red. Furthermore, the appearance of Moltres represents the coming of spring. Alrighty these two makes sense a legendary Pokemon that signals the change in season as well as having a mystical characteristic. This next entry states that if it gets injured, it dips its body in molten rock to heal itself. This explains why Moltres is where it is when you capture it in Pokemon FireRed. I'm just going to assume magic on how it can heal Moltres because how does lava have the ability to heal a flying bird? I could understand if this were Regirock or something like that.  

Model Details:
Pages: 1
Height: 3.30 in / 8.38 cm
Width: 3.35 in / 8.51 cm
Depth: 4.89 in / 12.42 cm
Notes: This model is not too difficult to build. Build the head and body separately and them to each other when they are both done. Use the flame on its tail to create a tripod with the legs to get the model to stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Mudkip

 


Commentary:
This Pokemon is quite cute, and its purple shiny version is amazing. That is all I got. I know that I have used this Pokemon in a Pokemon Emerald run in the past, but I do not remember anything specific about Mudkip.

Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex, Mudkip's headfin is a sensitive radar and can sense things in the water and air. This allows it to know what is going on around it without using its eyes. Alright makes sense, some animals on earth have this ability. Mudkip also possess similar abilities to other aquatic animals as it can propel itself high acceleration using its tail fin and uses the gills on the sides of its face to breath. Apparently, Mudkip is known to be able to crush boulders, but I will let you come up with a picture on how Mudkip is able to accomplish this feat. At least, the Pokedex also includes a cute entry as Mudkip sleeps by burying itself in soil by the water's edge.

Model Details:
Pages: 1
Height: 2 in / 5.08 cm
Width: 1.33 in / 3.38 cm
Depth: 1.73 in / 4.39 cm
Notes: This model is not difficult to build. I would just recommend using a toothpick when building as this model is quite small and to place a weight, I used a dime, in the body to get the model to stand by itself. I personally made the gills and tail 2D to save me time, but it is up to you on whether you want to make it 3D. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tune!

Chibi Noctowl


Commentary:
I know that Ash had a shiny Noctowl which was quite cool, but that is about it. I never bothered using Noctowl in any nuzlocke or any run in general. So yeah, I do not have much to say about this Pokemon. I mean the design looks alright, but nothing to cool that would give me an urge to use it. I mean this Pokemon was suggested so there must be something cool there, but I do not know personally see here.


Pokedex Entry:
Most of Noctowl's entries make sense. Over time, Noctowl has developed the ability to see in murky darkness and minimal light. Combined with its extremely soft feathers that does not produce sound when it flies, Noctowl never fails to catch its prey in the darkness. It has been given the name of "Emperor of Dark Nights." I understand that Noctowl is probably nocturnal and hunts probably around midnight, however, does Noctowl still have 100% catching its prey on nights it is not too dark and murky? I would assume that is has close to 100% catching rate but is kind of funny of thinking that Noctowl failing during not as dark days and completely flourishing in catching prey on darker days. Hey, evolution I guess. Anyways, when Noctowl needs to think it rotates its head 180 degrees. Alright makes sense. Surprisingly though, according to Ultra Sun’s Pokedex entry, when Noctowl is troubled by something, it turns its head upside down and if you do not leave it, it will peck you. What!? I know owls can turn their heads 180 degrees, so the previous entry makes sense, but being able to rotate its head 180 degrees so that its face is upside down when facing you. What is Noctowl's neck made of? 
 
Model Details:
Pages: 1
Height: 2.06 in / 5.23 cm
Width: 2.60 in / 6.60 cm
Depth: 2.70 in / 6.86 cm
Notes: This model is not too difficult to build. When making the headpiece, make the two sides and then close the headpiece by attaching both sides to the middle piece. Furthermore, to get the model to stand use the two legs and the tail to create a tripod. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Mega Blastoise


Commentary:
I do not have much to say about Mega Blastoise. Looks cool aethestically, as it looks like a natural evolution for Blastoise, has some great coverage moves with dark pulse and aura sphere, and gains some extra defense and special attack. All around great evolution if I had to rank the Kanto starters mega evolution, I would have to rank it 3rd just shy (like barely) of Mega Venusaur. Sorry if you wondered Mega Charizard X must be my favorite. Come on a black dragon with blue fire. It just looks too cool.

Pokedex Entry:
According to its one Pokedex entry, Mega Blastoise's cannon is a powerful tank gun and through its strong back and leg, can withstand the recoil from firing its cannon. I mean this entry makes sense. But all I can imagine now is Mega Blastoise not having the ability to withstand the recoil and thus falling on its back and not being able to get back up. Something like flipping a turtle or ladybug struggling to get up.

Model Details:
Pages: 2
Height: 3.75 in / 9.53 cm
Width: 2.70 in / 6.86 cm
Depth: 3.67 in / 9.32 cm
Notes: This model is not difficult to build. Once the head, body, and cannon are built, glue them together. Then use the tail to create a tripod with the legs to allow the model to stand. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tune!

x-x-5 Crossbow Master Dart Monkey

 



Commentary:
The design of the monkey is quite cool as it looks like an assassin with a crossbow, somewhat like Hawkeye but with a crossbow, but I do not know how good this monkey performs. When watching a YouTube video of this monkey in action, it looks like it just shoots very quickly, does a lot of damage and 90% of the time gets a crit. I assume a crit means that it does more damage. Besides that, I do not know if this monkey upgrade is any good.

 Entry:
According to its description. The crossbow master shoots fast and devastates most bloon types for ease. From this I assume this monkey is mainly bloon popping power, but that is it.

Model Details:
Pages: 3 or 6
Height: 2.75 in / 6.99 cm or 5 in / 12.7 cm
Width: 2.49 in / 6.32 cm or 4.53 in / 11.51 cm 
Depth: 2.69 in / 6.83 cm or 4.90 in / 12.45 cm
Notes: These model has two sizes, the bigger the model the easier the model is to build.  If you have built other bloon tower defense monkeys...then go build my other models if you haven't, but also, the build follows the basic steps of the other ones. For this model in specific, when building the head build the hood first but do not close it. Then build the face and free hand trim it to fit inside the hood. Then build the body down to the hips attaching the arms when you get to that section of the body. Attach the head to the body and only after that build and attach the crossbow and quiver. Now free hand glue the legs in the general location on where they are supposed to be and then use the tail to help the model stand. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Entei


Commentary:
So…  in one of the early Pokemon movies (the one with all the unknowns), wasn't Entei orginally a human that got changed into the legendary Pokemon. I mean if so, doesn't that flat out reject the legend that Ho-oh revived three Pokemon (I like the theory of those Pokemon being Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon). I don't know I usally just type whatever comes to my head regarding this Pokemon. I do remember this being a pain to catch it in Soulsilver when it was a roamming legendary. I remember thinking I could just put them to sleep, and they would not run from the battle, but no they still can run when they are asleep. It must be sleep walking or has some instinct to. Despite playing FireRed, I did not know I could encounter Entei in the game and never bothered trying. Also, I do have that shiny Entei Pokemon released close to a decade ago.  

Pokedex Entry:
Alright Entei's Pokedex entries are quite consistent throughout the games. Entei is said to embody the passion of magma and a new one is said to be born every time an eruption happens. Furthermore, it is rumored every time an Entei barks, a volcano erupts somewhere around the globe. So theoretically, you could create an army of Enteis by training an Entei to bark on command and then have a team determine where the new Entei was born and rinse and repeat until you have any army of a legendary Pokemon. I do have to admit these entries do takeout the mystical essence of Entei as I thought that it was a Ho-oH who revived a burning Pokemon in the burning tower thus creating the ONE and only Entei. 

Model Details:

Height: 2.90 in / 7.37 cm
Width: 2.41 in / 6.12 cm
Depth: 3.66 in / 9.30 cm
Download: 3D Model / Templates
Notes: The only difficult part of the model is building the face. First build the head but do not close the head. Then attach the grey mouth to the red eyes and finally glue the yellow part like the picture below, but make sure to glue the yellow part on top of the grey part. Close the HEAD with the piece shown below. Regarding the body, just make sure to put a small weight like a penny or an eraser cap to allow the model to stand up by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tune! 
Place the grey piece inbetween the head and the yellow piece


Leave this part open until you finish building the entire head

Chibi Quilava

Commentary:
I do remember running through Soulsilver with a Quilava before. I just remember being completely surprised when it evolved at level 14 right after I defeated Faulkner. I was then pissed off that it took until level 36 to evolve it to a Typholsion because by that time in the game Quilava was falling behind the rest of my team. I feel like starters should evolve at 16 and then again at 32 or 34. It just feels more natural to me. Fun fact, Quilava was the first papercraft I made without lines. Why do I remember this? Well because I remember sitting in front of the computer to find make sure to fold every line (which is not necessary). 

                           Typhlosion               Cyndaquil



Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex, Quilava is a highly nimble Pokemon that can dodge attacks while scorching its opponents. Furthermore, Quilava likes intimidating its foes by turning its back and demonstrating how ferociously its fire blazes and the heat of its flame; the stronger the flame the more ready it is to fight. When I first read about this, all I could think of is a group Quilava performing this intimidation factor like the New Zealand Rugby team's Haka prior to a match. If you have not seen this, go on YouTube and search it. The other entry is somewhat weird. According to Pokemon Silver and Pokemon FireRed, Quilava can withstand any kind of fire attack. UhhhhhhhI don't think so. I do not believe a low level Quilava will be surviving an eruption from a full health Primal Groudon in the sun. There are probably more crazy examples than the one I provided, but I cannot think of any off the top of my head. 

Model Detail:
Pages: 1
Height: 2.05 in / 5.21 cm
Width: 1.22 in / 3.10 cm
Depth: 2.46 in / 6.25 cm
Notes: This model is simple to build. When making the flames, you can just fold the white sides on top of each other causing only the color to be shown and then trim the excess white parts off. Make sure to put a small weight inside the body so the model can stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tune!
