Weight: 180.0 kg (396.8 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Magnezone and its evolutionary line have twelve resistances and one immunity, making them the most resistant Pokémon to date. With the addition of Magnet Rise, which makes them immune to Ground-type attacks for a short period of time, their only double weakness is negated. If frightened, Magnezone will discharge electricity uncontrollably. It evolves from Magneton via level-up in Mt. Coronet. It is the final form of Magnemite.

MAGNEMITE & MAGNETON


081-082 / MAGNEMITE & MAGNETON - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Magnemite & Magneton
Type: Electric/Steel
Species: Magnet Pokémon
Height: 0.3-1.0 m (1′0″-3'03")
Weight: 6.0 - 60.0 kg (13.2 - 132.3 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and that can potentially disrupt various electrical equipment. The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate. However, it becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted. Magnemite usually attack by using electrical attacks such as Thunder Wave and Zap Cannon. Magnemite can also focus magnetic energy into a homing-attack known as Magnet Bomb.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 10.1 cm / 4.0 in
Width: 19.9 cm / 7.8 in
Depth: 8.0 cm / 3.1 in
Pages: 3 (9)
Pieces: 19 (57)
Level: Easy
Designer: Brandon

NOTES: Pretty straightforward one. Build from the top down, attaching screw along the way. Magnets can attach either at the end or just before closing. If you want Magneton, just build three and attach them.
It may be useful to reference some of the art across the games, since Magneton's design varies slightly per each game.

They also have a fluffy, cream pelt that is found on the ends of their ears, legs and arms, as well as distinctive large 'eyebrows'.

POLIWAG


060 / POLIWAG - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Poliwag
Type: Water
Species: Tadpole Pokémon
Height: 0.6 m (2′00″)
Weight: 12.4 kg (27.3 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Poliwag resembles a blue, spherical tadpole. It has large eyes, a pink mouth, and a long, mostly transparent tail. It has newly developed legs that still are not used to walking. Poliwag's most famous feature is the black and white swirl on its abdomen, which is actually its innards showing through its semitransparent skin. The swirl looks clearer after it eats, and the skin is also very elastic so that it won't break if the Pokémon is bitten. The direction of the belly spiral differs by area, with the equator being thought to have an effect on this.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 9.5 cm/ 3.7 in
Width: 11.8 cm/ 4.6 in
Depth: 21.9 cm/ 8.6 in
Pages: 3
Pieces: 22

NOTES: Build from the head down, attaching the eyes when possible and the nose once you build the body where it attaches. Build the large piece of the tail first, cutting and shaping it, then attach the thin ridges onto it before attaching it to the body. Close at the bottom, adding feet on after the body is closed.

Milotic’s sinuous body is mostly cream in coloration, with red eyes and three black dots down its neck. The top of its head is long, with a point at the end, and long, thin red ‘eyebrows’ extending from above its eyes and thicker, also red-colored hair-like fins draping from the sides of the head. Its lower tail is covered with blue and pink scales, with striations of black, and four large scales, blue with red spots in the middle, overlap at the tip of the tail to look like a fan. Milotic is described in the Pokédex as breathtakingly beautiful.

Type: Water / Ground
Species: Mud Fish Pokémon
Height: 1.5 m (4′11″)
Weight: 81.9 kg (180.6 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Swampert possesses immense physical strength, with enough power to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton. It can apply its strength to its powerful hands to use Hammer Arm. Swampert has powerful vision, enabling it to see even in murky water. It, like many Water-type Pokémon, is a fast swimmer and can swim as fast as a jet ski. Swampert also has the ability to predict storms, sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. As a fully-evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a Water-type starter Pokémon), Swampert can learn Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, and Hydro Cannon. It can also learn any attack that its pre-evolutions can learn, albeit stronger.

Type: Water / Rock
Species: Longevity Pokémon
Height: 1.0 m (3′03″)
Weight: 23.4 kg (51.6 lbs.)

GYARADOS


130 / GYARADOS - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Gyarados
Type: Water/ Flying
Species: Atrocious Pokémon
Height: 6.5 m (21′04″)
Weight: 235.0 kg (518.1 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: This Pokémon bears little resemblance to its docile pre-evolution. Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. Once it has worked itself into a frenzy, it will not calm until everything around it is destroyed—this tendency is attributed to the dramatic structural changes its brain undergoes during evolution. It evolves from Magikarp starting at level 20.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 21.0 cm/ 8.3 in
Width: 11.0 cm/ 4.3 in
Depth: 27.0 cm/ 10.6 in

MAGIKARP


129 / MAGIKARP - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Magikarp
Type: Water
Species: Fish Pokémon
Height: 0.9 m (2′11″)
Weight: 10.0 kg (22.0 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Although this Pokémon is capable of surviving in even the most polluted ponds, it is usually overlooked by trainers because it is pathetically weak: even in the heat of battle it will do nothing but flop around. It is not a strong swimmer, and currents in the water will sweep it downstream. It evolves into Gyarados starting at level 20.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 9.9 cm/ 3.9 in
Width: 10.9 cm/ 4.3 in
Depth: 11.4 cm/ 4.5 in
Pages: 2
Pieces: 41
Level: Easy
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Brandon
NOTES: Build from the mouth, closing the front piece with the flat end. Build the back part from the tail fin to the mid section, once again closing with the flat piece. Take your time with the fins and it should be a fairly easy model.

Also, we changed the website a little bit and it's still in progress. I need to code some of the widget and make a background that actually make sense... but it's still better than the eyesore that we had on fish day.
