It was first shown in The Rise of Darkrai, where it fought with Dialga and Darkrai in a battle that nearly destroyed Alamos Town. It was shown in a flashback in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

NOTES:  Start the model at the head. The fold lines for this part are indicated in blue lines, it's necessary to fold them in order to give the head and neck a proper shape. You can either glue the wings when indicated by numbers or after the arms are glued, use a drop of glue on the side they meet the body. The arms are built from the hands up, you must glue the arm plates before going any further, they need pressure from the inside. The shoulders are simple and there are references on where to glue the shoulder plates. Join the arm and the shoulder BEFORE closing the arm. The arm can be rotated and glued on another position besides the one on the picture. The legs are built from the feet up. I recommend reinforcing them from the inside, so as the middle of the body. The model is closed at the tip of the tail. The stripes must be glued BEFORE closing, while you can apply pressure from the inside, if you follow the numbers you'll be able to do so.

Weight: 0.3 kg (0.7 lbs)
Interesting Facts: Uxie appeared in its physical form in The Needs of the Three!, where it, along with Mesprit, came to Lake Valor after Azelf was captured. However, it was also captured by J and Team Galactic, but before it was captured, it used Future Sight with Mesprit, destroying her ship later on. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In The Battle Finale of Legend!, after breaking from their control with the help of Brock's Croagunk and Ash's Gliscor, it helped in stopping Cyrus's plot to use Dialga and Palkia.

THE PAPER MODEL

Width: 17.6 cm/ 6.9 in
Depth: 16.6 cm/ 6.5 in
No. of Pages: 7
Level: Medium

NOTES:  Start the model with the head. Build the head but don't close it yet, only do so AFTER the helmet is placed. The body starts at the legs, followed by the tails. The tails are the worst part of the body. Join the side pieces together and glue the bottom and top of the tails at them simultaneously. Reinforcing the connection of the body and the tails is important. Continue the body and join the arms BEFORE gluing the head. Glue the spike to the head and after that glue it to the body. Further instructions on the template.

The textures have been updated after building, so that the face texture more closely resembles official art.

Mesprit has a partially magenta face with four long, drooping appendages and another red gem encrusted in its forehead. Mesprit's spirit can leave its body without dying and return to the body at will. Legends say that a person that touches it will have their emotions completely drained away. It was shown in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! that it can teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans. Though playful, it is a bit mischievous.

NOTES:  Start the model with the head. Build the antennae first and build the head starting around them. The body starts at the legs, followed by the tails. The tails are the worst part of the body. Join the side pieces together and glue the bottom and top of the tails at them simultaneously. Reinforcing the connection of the body and the tails is important. Continue the body and join the arms BEFORE gluing the head. Glue the spike to the head and after that glue it to the body. Further instructions on the template. There are two options for bases, the small one and the big one. The big one is supposed to make it stand taller than the other two lake trio members, as shown on the picture with them together. In order to build it print the last page of the template and use color references to put it together.

Its spirit can leave its body without dying, and can return to the body at will. It can control an individual's will or enter the body of an individual. Legends say that if Azelf is harmed, it can cause humans to lose all will inside of them, making them completely immobile for all eternity. It was shown in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! that it can teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans. Azelf can be very cautious around people and Pokémon. However, if threatened, it will reveal its bold side.

HEATRAN



485 / Heatran - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Heatran
Type: Fire/Steel
Species: Lava Dome Pokémon
Height: 1.7 m (5'07")
Weight: 430.0 kg (948.0 lbs)
Interesting Facts: Heatran is a reddish-brown Pokémon resembling a tortoise and a ram. It is dotted with orange and gray spots, and it has metal bangles locked on its legs. Its four claws on each of its feet are in a cross formation. These claws allow it to dig deep into walls, and its feet allow it to stick to a surface, so it can hang and climb from walls and ceilings. Heatran has a gray underside, and its face is covered by an iron mask, with red-orange eyes uncovered. Whenever it is seen with its mouth open, an orange glow emanates from inside it. Because of its intense body heat, certain parts of its body are melted slightly out of shape. Boiling blood, like magma, circulates through its body. Heatran is a fierce guardian. Without the power of the Magma Stone, Heatran would rampage and cause the volcanic crater where it dwells to erupt. Heatran is the only known Pokémon that learns Magma Storm.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 13.6 cm/ 5.4 in
Width: 24.0 cm/ 9.4 in
Depth: 30.0 cm/ 11.8 in
No. of Pages: 8
Level: Medium
Designer: Brandon

NOTES:  Start the model at the mouth, gluing the teeth. The legs are simple, just build them staring at the bottom, glue the gray piece and the leg piece last. Only glue the claws and gray pieces after the leg is joined with the body. The model is quite heavy, so reinforcing the legs will be useful. Close at the tip of the tail.

Type: Normal
Species: Alpha Pokémon
Height: 3.2 m (10'06")
Weight: 320.0 kg (705.5 lbs)
Interesting Facts: Arceus is also known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created Sinnoh and Ransei, and possibly the entire Pokémon universe, along with the lake guardians and creation trio. Arceus can only be found in the wild legitimately with the Azure Flute, which was never distributed at any official event and can only be obtained by cheating. However, Arceus itself was distributed via multiple Nintendo events in 2009 and 2010 and the Pokémon Global Link in 2012.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 25.0 cm/ 9.8 in
Width: 45.2 cm/ 17.8 in
Depth: 34.2 cm/ 13.5 in
No. of Pages: Body - 6 Base - 2-7 (Be sure you're printing only what you need)
Level: Hard
Designer: LuIS

NOTES:  Be sure to check out the files BEFORE printing. Not all of the pages need to be printed, and you have options to select to print.

This model can be tricky, so some experience is important. There are plenty of instructions on the template, but basically, it's composed by three main parts: the torso, the ring and the back. Start at the head, close at the belly. After that, build the ring, be careful, it's the trickiest part of the model. Join the body with the ring. The back is the easiest part, start at the tip of the tail. There are four options for the front legs (regular, mirrored, and with the legs leveled at a lower and a higher level), two options for the head (regular and mirrored), two for the tail (regular and mirrored) and two bases (one as shown in the picture and a simpler one). The connections with these parts are the same as the regular ones, so they are built basically the same way. There are textures for each type that Arceus can become and three different textures for the base, but the use of these require the pdo to change from the regular ones, so as the game plates, the movie plates only have one possible texture. There are plenty more info on the template as well as references to lines that should be folded, places that NEED to be reinforced and the suggested build order.

In order to use the Texture Pack, you'll have to use Pepakura/the PDO. Shiny and Normal pdfs are included in the packs per usual.
