TAPU LELE



786 / TAPU LELE- Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Tapu Lele
Type: Psychic/Fairy
Species: Land Spirit Pokémon
Height: 1.2 m (3′11″)
Weight: 18.6 kg (41.0 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: This guardian of Akala Island is known to scatter glowing scales, which affect others by stimulating and healing their bodies; however, these scales are also dangerous if too many are touched at once. Some consider it to be cruel for the way it destroys others as it scatters its scales for its own amusement. An old legend says that Tapu Lele ended a war between Alola's islands by healing the tired warriors with its scales, but rumors point to a more disturbing truth behind this story. Its strength comes from the energy stored within its shell. If Tapu Lele finds itself at a disadvantage in battle, it will prioritize not outright losing as opposed to trying for a decisive victory. It is said to gain energy from the scent of flowers.

NOTES: All of the Tapus are pretty tough, and this one is no exception. Everything on the template is numbered, so be sure to follow those, but it's 'basically' work from the head down. The hat, head, body, and hands are all separate, so build and assemble as needed. The body builds from the bottom up, the head builds from the bottom up, and the hat builds from the inside out- closing at the top. Take particular care with the hair (PDO or EdgeID pdf will help immensely here).

I'm new to this whole thing.But what's the best material to make it out of?

Brandon said...

I personally use 24lb paper (slightly thicker than normal printer paper, which is generally 20lb).
There's more details on general materials/etc on the FAQ page found here, as well.
