Meet the Phenomenal Knitter Who Crocheted Eternatus

A Pokemon enthusiast has recently showcased a charming hand-crocheted Eternatus. The Pokemon community is renowned for its incredibly talented members who frequently celebrate the franchise through various crafts, including plush toys, crochet creations, paintings, and fan art. This particular Eternatus stands out due to its exceptional quality.

Eternatus, a legendary Poison/Dragon-type Pokemon, debuted in the eighth generation of Pokemon games. Its distinctive appearance makes it a memorable character in Pokemon Sword and Shield. This dual-type combination is quite rare, shared only with Dragalge and Naganadel. While Eternatus doesn't evolve, it possesses a formidable, unattainable alternate form – Eternamax Eternatus – encountered during the climax of Sword and Shield.

A Pokemon player known as pokemoncrochet recently shared their delightful Eternatus crochet on r/pokemon, captivating fellow fans. A 32-second video showcases the crochet doll gracefully spinning on a thread, mimicking flight. The creation is remarkably detailed, accurately capturing the essence of the original draconic creature while retaining an endearing charm. However, the artist indicated in the comments that they'll likely focus on new Pokemon rather than creating the Eternamax form.

Adorable Eternatus Crochet Captivates Pokemon Fans

pokemoncrochet also revealed their ambitious undertaking: crocheting every single Pokemon. While a significant project, it's not unprecedented. Several years ago, another fan completed a similar endeavor, sharing their adorable collection online, which included beloved Pokemon like Togepi, Gengar, Squirtle, Mew, Torchic, and Staryu.

Many exceptional Pokemon crochet projects have graced the community. Recent examples include a set of Johto starters (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile) crafted with meticulous detail and vibrant colors, and a remarkably lifelike Starmie crochet that perfectly captures its flexible form. The popularity of fan-made Pokemon crochet dolls ensures that more creative works will undoubtedly emerge. The upcoming release of Pokemon Legends: Z-A in 2025 will undoubtedly inspire even more creations, potentially featuring new legendary Pokemon like the powerful Eternatus.
