With crochet hooks in hand, a Pokemon trainer crafted an adorable plush of the aquatic Dragon Pokemon Kingdra and shared the finished product on social media with other fans. For their work, the Pokemon fan artist received praise and compliments for their craft skills and attention to detail, and some fans asked if a pattern for the Kingdra plush was available.

Known as the Dragon Pokemon, Kingdra is a Water and Dragon dual-type Pokemon and the fully-evolved form of the Horsea line. Kingdra made its debut in Pokemon Gold and Silver as the fourth Dragon-type Pokemon to exist at the time. In past Pokemon games such as Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Kingdra evolved from Seadra by holding a Dragon Scale when traded. With a base stat total of 540 and a balanced distribution of its attack and defense stats, Kingdra is in the same league as Pokemon such as Gyarados and Snorlax. But at the time of writing, the entire Horsea line is unavailable in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and cannot be transferred beyond the eighth generation of games. However, that has not stopped fans from remembering the Dragon Pokemon in their own way.

On Reddit, a Pokemon fan named MikaD0000 crocheted their own Kingdra plush and shared it on the Pokemon subreddit. Using a similar method to other Pokemon crochet plushes, the OP used blue yarn for the bulk of Kingdra's body. In a set of four screenshots, the OP gave Pokemon fans a look at the plush Dragon Pokemon from different angles. For the front scales, the OP made a separate piece, attached some black string to it to form the outlines, and crocheted it into place. Some white yarn was used to make Kingdra's back fin and wings on the side of its head. For the eyes, the OP used some red, black, and white felt, and the remaining outlines were made with black string.

For their work, MikaD0000 received praise from other Pokemon fans on the subreddit. In the comments, a few users asked if a pattern was available for sale, and the OP replied to some compliments with their gratitude. Though it remains to be seen if Kingdra will appear in The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the Dragon Pokemon remained in the minds of Pokemon trainers and artists.

With Pokemon crochet art continuing to evolve on social media, the Kingdra plush is an adorable example of the creativity of Pokemon fans. Only time will tell what Pokemon trainers will craft once The Indigo Disk arrives in December.
