Pokemon fans are constantly proving their artistic prowess by regularly posting artworks of their favorite characters through a wide variety of mediums. One of the most recent examples of this is one Pokemon fan who made a Nanoblock version of the legendary Pokemon Groudon.
The Ground-type legendary Groudon was first introduced in Pokemon's third-generation, where it was the cover star of Pokemon Ruby, opposite Kyogre and Pokemon Sapphire. Groudon most recently appeared in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, where players could catch one after clearing essentially every other task in the game.
A user by the handle of u/vib_turtle has posted their impressive building block recreation of Groudon, which looks to be almost like a pixelated sprite version of the character. The continent-expanding Pokemon appears to have all of its major features accurately depicted, including its segmented armor-like red skin, large tail, and its white spikes running along the sides of its head and body. Garnering well over 1,000 likes at the time of writing, comments on the post reveal the creation to actually be made from Nanoblocks, a similar product to LEGO, albeit with a bit of a thicker profile.
It is also revealed the artist followed a tutorial, but took some creative liberties. While the Groudon building block creation is surely impressive, it's far from the only Pokemon art of its kind. A few months ago, another Pokemon fan went viral for their incredible LEGO version of Quaxly, one of the new starters features in the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The artist made the Pokemon on a similar scale to the Groudon above, although this creation has much smoother curves and surfaces.
While some fans may not have LEGOs, Nanoblocks, or something similar to build their own Groudon with, they can always try taking on the Legendary in-game. Pokemon GO's Groudon Battle Raids are currently holding the tier five Battle Raid slot through June 16, meaning players have about a week to take full advantage. It's highly recommended players gather the most powerful Water and Grass-types they can if they want a shot at catching a Groudon for themselves.
While Groudon may be absent from the most recent Pokemon game entries, calls for a new Pokemon Legends title featuring its native Hoenn region are continuing to grow. Given the success of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, many fans agree the lore-rich region of Hoenn is a prime candidate for the new Pokemon subfranchise.
