FERALIGATR


160 / FERALIGATR - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Feraligatr
Type: Water
Species: Big Jaw Pokémon
Height: 2.3 m (7′07″)
Weight: 88.8 kg (195.8 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Feraligatr opens its powerful jaws to intimidate its foes and viciously shakes its head once it clamps down on foes or prey. Because it has difficulty supporting its weight out of the water, it has been known to move on all fours. However, when hunting or fighting, it is agile and fast, due to its powerful hind legs. Feraligatr can rarely be found living near the water's edge.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 17.7 cm / 7.0 in
Width: 21.9 cm / 8.6 in
Depth: 22.6 cm / 8.9 in
Pages: 10
Pieces: 81
Level: Medium-Hard
Designer: PODragon
Photo: Feel free to submit your own at our email and we'll display the best/most creative!
NOTES: Slightly tough, but if you can get past all the "rough skin" patches that are a bit embossed, it can go by quick. Build following the numbers, starting with the mouth and work your way down. Build the arms from the fingers to the shoulders, attach them when you can, and keep working down the body. Attach the tail before starting to work towards the bottom of the feet to close. Use the pedal base to help it stand (and give it some style 😎) Optional microphone included as well.

GENESECT


649 / GENESECT - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Genesect
Type: Bug/Steel 
Species: Paleozoic Pokémon
Height: 1.5 m (4′11″)
Weight: 82.5 kg (181.9 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Genesect was revived from a Fossil and technologically enhanced by Team Plasma to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. N had the project canceled and the P2 Laboratory closed because he felt that Pokémon, who he thought to be perfect beings, would lose their beauty if modified by science. However, Scientist Dudley kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 21.8 cm / 8.6 in
Width: 26.2 cm / 10.3 in
Depth: 33.0 cm / 13.0 in
Pages: 13
Pieces: 99
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Feel free to submit your own at our email and we'll display the best/most creative!
NOTES: Pretty tough one overall, with some small pieces, but manageable for sure - even better if you can use the PDO for reference. Any pieces with an "_S" after are only intended for use with the Extremespeed form (picture in Textures folder for reference), which is much more compact and does not need the base. Notes on the template for which pieces need replaced for that as well. Build from the head back, attaching the Cannon, working down toward the Abdomen. The abdomen and cannon are directly connected to each other for the normal form, but are distinctly separated for the Extremespeed form (as noted in template). Attach the shoulders and arms as you go, being pretty particular with the joints so that they're secure and stick. You may need to use a little extra glue, and let it stick and dry for a bit extra just to be sure. Same goes for the leg joints - try and use the base to center and weight the body before fully gluing the legs on. All drives included to swap out as desired. If building the Extremespeed form, the head, cannon (minus pieces 15/16, simply not needed), abdomen, legs, arms will all be separate, self enclosed pieces that glue together after they're all build. Head to Cannon, Abdomen inside, then arms and legs on the frame (like the picture included in Textures). Pages 8-9 are unique to the standing form, and pages 13-14 are unique to the Extremespeed form - feel free to skip the pair of pages that don't correspond to your desired form.

MOLTRES


146 / MOLTRES - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Moltres
Type: Fire/Flying
Species:  Flame Pokémon
Height: 2.0 m (6'07″)
Weight: 60.0 kg (132.3 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano, this Pokémon can heal itself. It migrates to the south with the coming of spring and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands. There have been stories of Moltres using its wings to assist those lost in the mountains. Moltres is rarely seen. In the past, Sky Attack was its signature move.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 14.9 cm/ 5.5 in
Width: 38.1 cm/ 6.3 in
Depth: 23.5 cm/ 5.1 in
Pages: 6
Pieces: 77
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: CrafterWong (CrafterWong's Site can be found here!)
NOTES: Build the model from the head and head flame downwards. When you get to the wings, build them and attach them to the body before moving on. When building the wings, build the entire yellow part first, folding the "feathery" edges to give it a slight sharpness and help support the fire/body. Then build the red part of the flame by gluing the white side of the paper together and trimming the excess white part off the model to your desire. If you're feeling fancy, you could even sort of feather the flame piece to give it a bit of definition too. Lastly, glue the red flames inside the yellow wing 'sleeve' and freehand glue them together. Work your way down until you get to the legs. Do NOT close the model with piece 69 until the model can stand by itself. Next, build the legs and tail flame (you can just simply attach this to the body whenever). When building the legs be very careful while building it. They are somewhat small and a toothpick or tweezers will help to make them. To get the model to stand by itself, wrap the wings around the body so that it prevents it from falling on itself. 

Also fun side note - noticed when making textures for this that Moltres occasionally has a red beak and legs instead of the pale apricot color. Textures are included for both.

BRAVIARY




628 / BRAVIARY - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Braviary
Type: Normal/Flying 
Species:  Valiant Pokémon
Height: 1.5 m (4'11″)
Weight: 41.0 kg (90.4 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Braviary is extremely aggressive, but for noble reasons. It will fight fiercely to help and protect its friends. Even if it is injured or has its life threatened, it will still fight. The more scars it has on its front, the more respect it gets from its peers. Scars on its back will bring it ridicule however. It has earned the nickname "hero of the skies" due to its extreme dedication for its friends. Aiding its valiance, Braviary is extremely strong, capable of lifting a car and flying with it.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 21.5 cm/ 8.5 in
Width: 23.7 cm/ 9.3 in
Depth: 23.1 cm/ 9.1 in
Pages: 10 (+4 for Nest base)
Pieces: 89 (+6 for base) 
Level: Medium
Designer: Brandon
Photo: CrafterWong (CrafterWong's Site, and Chibi Braviary, can be found here!)
NOTES: Start building the model with the hair and neck feathers, then work from the beak and work backward to the neck. Make sure to FOLD all the lines for this section when building the hair, similar to Rufflet. When building the top white and red feathers on the face, you will need to glue the non-colored sides to each other to connect the neck feathers to the face feathers. For the side of the face feathers you will need to glue them over onto each other (pieces 18-23 will fold in half and glue to each other), and then glue them to the side of the face accordingly. Work downwards and build and attach the wings when you get there. When you get to piece 55, 84, and 85, make sure to also fold these pieces to get cleaner looking legs. Build the legs and attach them before connecting the rest of the body. Close the model with piece 85 on the right or left leg respectively, then glue the tail feathers between the legs and pieces 78-82. In order to get the model to stand, you can either build the stand and place a counterweight on the stand like another model or you can create a tripod with the two legs and piece 80.

The base (not pictured) is a little different and unique for this model - it's designed to cater to Braviary's specific pose, and the 'empty' nest doesn't have to be all too empty if you build Rufflet with it! Rufflet is to scale with Braviary, and stands right inside the nest. In order for the base to fully hold up Braviary, it's suggested to weight piece 91 before fully closing it, as this will help prevent Braviary from sliding away.

DRAGAPULT


887 / DRAGAPULT - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Dragapult 
Type: Dragon/Ghost 
Species:  Stealth Pokémon
Height: 3.0 m (9'10″)
Weight: 50.0 kg (110.2 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Dragapult and its evolutionary family are the ghosts of prehistoric aquatic Pokémon. Dragapult carries a pair of Dreepy inside its horns, which it will fire at its opponents like supersonic missiles during battle. It's said that the Dreepy it carries greatly enjoy being sent flying toward opponents at immense speeds. Much of Dragapult's behavior beyond this, however, remains a mystery.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 26.6 cm/ 10.5 in
Width: 27.3 cm/ 10.8 in
Depth: 13.7 cm/ 5.4 in
Pages: 10 
Pieces: 101 (+10 for optional Dreepy parts) 
Level: Medium-Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: CrafterWong (CrafterWong's Site can be found here!)
NOTES: Build the fins first, then build the head around them, working down. Build the model down and attach the arms as you go. Do NOT build the fingers until the entire model is complete. I originally built the fingers after I attached the arms but they seemed to get in my way and kept falling off when I was building the body and tail. Continue building downward attaching the legs as you go. When you get to piece 67, you have to make the decision on if you want to build the base or get the model to stand by itself. If you want to build the base do not worry, just build the stand and either glue the model to the base, or slightly weight it still to keep it on the base without glue. If you want the model to stand by itself, you can either glue together 2 stacks of 4 quarters together and then glue them to piece 66/67 or you can put in 8 quarters and 2 pennies into the model (not gluing them together or the model) and play with the location of the weights by rotating the model back and forth once the model is closed to get the model to stand by itself. Close the model with the tail then glue the fingers and Dreepys on. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building!

DARMANITAN


555 / DARMANITAN - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Darmanitan 
Type: Fire
Species:  Blazing Pokémon
Height: 1.3 m (4'03″)
Weight: 92.9 kg (204.8 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like Pokémon. It has long, bushy flame eyebrows that curl at the base, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal red stripe, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression. Its head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Darmanitan has three tan ovals on its underside. In its normal state, it is immensely strong physically; a single punch can destroy a dump truck.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 16.5 cm/ 6.5 in
Width: 14.8 cm/ 5.8 in
Depth: 21.9 cm/ 8.6 in
Pages: 7+1 double sided
Pieces: 55
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: CrafterWong
Chibi shown below can be found here as well! 
NOTES: When printing, page 3 will print on the back side of page 2 to "double side" the fire for the eyebrows. It is fine to skip page 3 altogether, but then the backs of the eyebrows will be white of course. Build the face starting from the eyes and building to piece 18 and 19. Next build the mouth, 20-23 are the inner piece, whereas 16-17 connect with 13 (above) and 18 (below) to form the visible face. Next line up both the outer teeth (16, 17) and inner teeth (23, 22) and glue them back to back so that the mouth fits seamlessly with the face. Continue building downward attaching the arms and legs as you go but do not attach the hand and feet. The bottom side of the feet and hands (the slightly convex cone where the hands and feet attach) both have notes as to how they line up to each appendage, as well. Before closing the model attach the eyebrows (I find it best if you only glue the yellow part in the desired position than gluing or just stuffing the other eyebrow parts into each other without glue) and attach the hand and arms so that the model balances and stand up correctly. In theory you can close the model at either the legs (as numbered) or with the lower body (piece 45), whichever you'd rather.

GALARIAN PONYTA


77 / PONYTA - Galarian - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Galarian Ponyta
Type: Psychic
Species: Unique Horn Pokémon
Height: 0.8 m (3′03″)
Weight: 24.0 kg (52.9 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Galarian Ponyta can absorb the life energy located in the atmosphere and store it in its mane, which will then become more colorful and potentially release a shining glow if there is a lot of energy to use. The small horn contains a healing power. Ponyta can heal any slight wounds with a few rubs from its horn. By looking into the eyes of a person, it can read the contents of the heart. Should Ponyta find any evil, it will promptly go back into hiding.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 17.0 cm / 6.7 in
Width: 11.1 cm / 4.4 in
Depth: 23.2 cm / 9.1 in
Pages: 9
Pieces: 84
Level: Medium-Hard 
Designer: Brandon

Featured Photo from: Eve R. via email!
NOTES: Fluffy to paper is a weird transition, and definitely makes this one a bit tougher for it. Follow the numbers, building the head downward, working in the legs as you go. You will want to weight the right side of the body for sure (opposite the direction the mane flows), as well as probably attach it to a base for good measure. Probably a good time to reference our quite old Paperpokés Pokémon Bases pack as it could come in handy here. Per how the numbers indicate, you'll want to attach the tail to the body before fully closing the body. The mane can be attached to the body after closed, by gluing to the head and the side of the body to try and fully attach it. The mane is also numbered in a tricky way, as the closing point is near the bottom but the tufts have to be attached first - attach 75-78 onto 74 before layering and closing with 79.

ALCREMIE-GMAX


869 / ALCREMIE GMAX - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Alcremie Gigantamax
Type: Fairy 
Species: Cream Pokémon
Height: 30.0 m (98'05″)
Weight: ??? kg (??? lbs.)
Interesting Facts: In its Gigantamax form, Alcremie's body resembles a towering, five-tiered cake. The apical tier of the cake resembles Alcremie's regular body, though it's wearing a bow and its whipped-cream "hair" is styled into a flamboyant swoop. Each layer of the cake features a variety of sweets that can be used to evolve Milcery. The bottom tier of its body is frosted yellow and adorned with an alternating row of star sweets and dotted frosting. The second tier is frosted pink and features a magenta bow topped with a clover sweet. The third tier is frosted blue and encircled with a row of flower sweets featuring a berry sweet arch. The fourth tier is frosted pink and encircled with love sweets and three red clouds, with the central sweet being larger than the rest. Lumps of whipped cream surround Gigantamax Alcremie's body between each of its tiers.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 29.9 cm / 11.8 in
Width: 22.1 cm / 8.7 in
Depth: 24.9 cm / 9.8 in
Pages: 22
Pieces: 149
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Feel free to submit your own at our email and we'll display the best/most creative!
NOTES: This one is definitely a bit much - don't dive into this unless you're ready to handle all the sweet details and layers that is this massive cake. The bulk of the craft is divided up into several smaller closed parts, allowing it to be built pretty modularly. The general progression here should go Veil -> Bottom Layer -> Bottom Layer Sweets -> 2nd Layer -> 2nd Layer Sweets -> 3rd Layer -> 3rd Layer Sweets -> 4th Layer -> 4th Layer Sweets -> Topper (Body) -> Topper Bow -> Head. The Veil is kind of like the frame of it all, and it builds all up from the bottom once that's intact. It should also help to attach the sweets to each layer before the layer is closed as well - and everything is numbered accordingly to help with that. The "Cream" can really be added to each layer whenever, but it's definitely better to wait until the layers they're between are there. The Cream has been numbered to be at the end for this reason. Beyond that, just follow the numbers, and definitely utilize the PDO in Pepakura if you can help it.

TAPU FINI


788 / TAPU FINI - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Tapu Fini
Type: Water/Fairy
Species: Land Spirit Pokémon
Height: 1.3 m (4′03″)
Weight: 21.2 kg (46.7 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: As the guardian of Poni Island, Tapu Fini can freely manipulate water and gains energy from ocean currents. To avoid harm to itself in battle, it shrouds its surroundings in a mysterious fog that sends its opponents into a self-destructive trance. The guardian also unleashes this fog as a test for those who seek the special water it can create, which is said to purify anything it touches. Many humans have attempted this trial, including those with ill intent; disgusted by this history, Tapu Fini does not care much for humans. Despite this, it is willing to help those who prove themselves worthy.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 30.2 cm / 11.9 in
Width: 23.2 cm / 9.1 in
Depth: 26.7 cm / 10.5 in
Pages: 16
Pieces: 80 
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Feel free to submit your own at our email and we'll display the best/most creative!
NOTES: All of the Tapus are a bit tough, and this one is no exception. If you can get past the spindly hands/arms and the large shell, it's not too awful overall though. Following the numbers, start from the top of the hair and work your way down. Close the hair at the bottom, top with the 'crest' and then continue onto the body. Work from the head down with the body, closing at the bottom of the legless base (this part will attach to the shell later). The head just pushes onto the body via the triangular piece up top. Move onto the arms and shoulders. The flat pieces (39-43,54-58) are the fingernails (purple) and handwebbing (black gray). For the nails, just fold and glue them over on each other (doublesided) and glue to the ends of each of the fingers. For the webbing, fold them over (without gluing) and glue the ends of each to the area at the base between each set of fingers. Images included in download packs to help here too. From here, the shells and bases are the only things left - close the shells at the flat ends (as indicated) on the outside, and close the bases at the bottom.

TAPU BULU


787 / TAPU BULU- Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Tapu Bulu
Type: Grass/Fairy
Species: Land Spirit Pokémon
Height: 1.9 m (6′03″)
Weight: 45.5 kg (100.3 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: This guardian of Ula'ula Island is able to command vegetation to grow and change shape to its will. Despite its fearsome power, it is largely inactive, leading some to consider it a lazy Pokémon. It has a peaceful disposition and does not like to cause unnecessary violence, so it rings the bell on its tail to alert others of its presence. However, it is merciless to those who offend it and it is said to have once repelled thieves from its ruins by.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 29.3 cm / 11.5 in
Width: 12.3 cm / 4.8 in
Depth: 29.9 cm / 11.8 in
Pages: 12
Pieces: 71
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Feel free to submit your own at our email and we'll display the best/most creative!
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/hat down. The hat, body, and hands/arms are all separate, so build and assemble as needed. The body builds from the top down, the hat builds from one side to the other, and arms build from the hand to shoulder. Close at the bottom of the bell by inserting the inside of it with the tail tip. The body is rather awkward, so the base might not help all too much unfortunately, but weighting it a bit with the base may help.

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.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 29.0 cm / 11.4 in
Width: 14.2 cm / 5.6 in

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).

TAPU KOKO



785 / TAPU KOKO- Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Tapu Koko
Type: Electric/Fairy
Species: Land Spirit Pokémon
Height: 1.8 m (5′11″)
Weight: 20.5 kg (45.2 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: This Pokémon is called the guardian deity of Melemele Island. It's known for protecting its home, but it is fickle and will not necessarily help people in need. However, it is very curious, and may come to play or battle with people or Pokémon that interest it. It is able to store electricity by closing itself inside the shells on its arms. It has an explosive temper, but it instantly forgets what enraged it in the first place.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 30.2 cm / 11.9 in

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 crest/head can be pretty tough in particular, as they're quite pointed and narrow, so take particular care with those. The head and the body are separate pieces too, and the body needs to be done from the bottom up, attaching the arms and shoulders as you go. Use the bases to help support the body and arms/shell.

CHANDELURE (Halloween Finale!)



609 / CHANDELURE- Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Chandelure
Type: Ghost/Fire
Species: Luring Pokémon
Height: 1.0 m (3′03″)
Weight: 34.3 kg (75.6 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Chandelure is a Pokémon that resembles a sentient chandelier. It has a striped, round head, and round, pupil-less yellow eyes. There is a ring of small, black spikes on top of its head with a tall, purple flame in the middle. From a black spike below its head, black arms curl upward. These arms are tipped with purple fire. Chandelure's fires do not burn its victims physically, instead burning their spirit. After hypnotizing its opponent by waving these flames, it absorbs the victim's spirit.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 18.7 cm / 7.4 in
Width: 7.8 cm / 3.1 in
Depth: 19.0 cm / 7.5 in
Pages: 6
Pieces: 52
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: CrafterWong (including the chibi Chandelure shown, which can be found here!)
NOTES: When building the head, do not close the model (Piece 15) until you have attached the black lattices (Pieces 18-30) to the base of the flame and the eyes in the desired spots. A screenshot has been included to show how these are placed as well. The arms are the hardest part to build. I would recommend building the swirl of the curvy part and flames (pieces 31-35, 40-44) first and attach them together. I would then build the arms starting with the tube closest to the end of the arm that was just built and end with the tube that connects to the body. Pieces have been numbered to indicate this as well. CrafterWong was able to get away with only having to build the build stand and strategically placing the arms to support the weight of the body- but additional bases (49, 50) have been included to help if needed as well.

GOLISOPOD



768 / GOLISOPOD - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Golisopod
Type: Bug/Water
Species: Hard Scale Pokémon
Height: 2.0 m (6′07″)
Weight: 108.0 kg (238.1 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Golisopod has a shell as tough as diamond and retractable claws that can cleave seawater in two. While it is skillful in battle, it often meditates peacefully deep in seaside caves. It is sometimes accompanied by Wimpod. Golisopod will do anything to win a fight. When it sees an opening to take advantage of, Golisopod will use the small claws on its front legs to finish off its opponent. Grapploct is natural predator or prey of Golispod depending on who wins the fight.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 20.0 cm / 7.9 in
Width: 16.6 cm / 6.5 in
Depth: 24.0 cm / 9.5 in
Pages: 12
Pieces: 89
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Shiny Golisopod received from Mark B via email!            
        For this one in particular, please contact us at Paperpokes@gmail.com once you've finished it, to discuss how the weight distribution works too! I imagine Goli needs a base, but I'm not completely sure the best way to approach it. 
NOTES: This one is tough, no way around that. It's also slightly indirect - you'll have to finish some parts of the body before starting to attach the armor, but you'll also have to slot in the waist armor before finishing the legs. The numbers on the template guide this, and reflect the slightly sporadic jumping between the appendages and the body. The main goal here is to build from the head down, then attaching the upper armor before moving too far down the waist. The arms and 'feelers' will attach just below the armor, gluing directly to the body on the outside. Ideally the lower hanging arm should also help support some of the weight/angle. From there, move down and completely make the waist armor before slotting it above the legs. Close the body at the leg indicated, and then attach the feet to the closed legs.

TYPE NULL & SILVALLY


772 & 773 / TYPE NULL & SILVALLY- Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Type Null & Silvally
Type: Normal 
Species: Synthetic Pokémon
Height: 1.9 (2.3) m (6′03″ [7'07"])
Weight: 120.5 (100.5) kg (265.7 lbs. [221.6])
Interesting Facts: Type: Null is a quadruped, chimeric Pokémon with traits from a variety of creatures. Its head is enclosed in a brown helmet with green markings, designed to suppress its power to stable levels. The helmet has a large jaw piece that wraps around the front with large, round hinges on the side.
Silvally is a quadruped, chimeric Pokémon with traits from a variety of creatures. It has a mammalian head with mechanical parts. Covering most of its head and neck is a thick, silver mane that extends down over its chest. Its blunt snout is metallic on the bridge of its nose and upper jaw. 

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 26.0 cm / 10.2 in
Width: 18.9 cm / 7.4 in
Depth: 23.9 cm / 9.4 in
Pages: 8 (Silvally)/9 (Null)
Pieces: 93 (Silvally)/111 (Null) 
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Feel free to submit your own at our email and we'll display the best/most creative!
NOTES: Fun fact - Silvally and Type Null actually share the same body, with the head and a few minor features being the only difference. The way this template is set up allows you to build the body as one distinct piece, and swap out the heads if you build in something like a magnet inside the neck on each side. 
The template is numbered accordingly as well - Build the back legs and tail first (branching between N28-N33 for Type Null's tail, or S28-S33 for Silvally's. Move forward towards the front legs and neck, closing the body at the neck (piece 64 is where the first magnet would need to go to make the heads swappable). From here it gets way more divergent - the pieces beginning with N are for Type Null's head, and the pieces beginning with S are for Silvally's head. All of the pieces for Silvally's drive change are on the very last page - if you want to print off different pieces for this, all you have to do is change the Eye and Fin textures accordingly and print the last page. The head (and front legs, for that matter) of both of these are definitely the toughest pieces. Each has a decent amount of detail that can make them tricky, probably Type Null a bit more so than Silvally. Take the small pieces slowly and carefully, especially around the eyes and ears. N96 and S87 are the pieces of the neck for Null and Silvally respectively that would need a magnet as well, as they form the inner piece of the 'collar' that ends up attaching to the neck of the body. 

For the fin of the body (28-33), if you plan on interchanging between Silvally and Null, I'd suggest building it with Null's pieces (N28-N33) initially and sliding Silvally's over it afterward if desired.

MEGA RAYQUAZA



384 / MEGA RAYQUAZA- Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Mega Rayquaza
Type: Dragon/Flying
Species: Sky High Pokémon
Height: 10.8 m (35′05″)
Weight: 392.0 kg (864.2 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: In Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, a Shiny Rayquaza capable of Mega Evolving was summoned alongside Latios and Latias by Hoopa to protect it from the shadow Hoopa Unbound. The trio protected Hoopa from the shadow Hoopa and its reinforcements, Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Kyurem, in Dahara City. Eventually, the battle ended after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a Prison Bottle, and Rayquaza departed for its home. 

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 24.9 cm / 9.8 in
Width: 16.1 cm / 6.3 in
Depth: 31.5 cm / 12.4 in (due to various long ribbons)
Pages: 9, +2 for instructions/reference
Pieces: 128
Level: Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: Feel free to submit your own at our email and we'll display the best/most creative! 
            This one was sent in by Lance via our email! 
NOTES: Various instructions included on template, along with numbers. Definitely follow the numbers and work your way from the head down. The body segments work exactly the same as our regular Rayquaza model (with a little more detail)- match up the number, and everything flows well together. The fins and 'ribbon' segments might be the most difficult part to connect just right, and using a reference (such as the Official Art picture on the last page of the model) to see how everything connects should help. Putting wire inside the 'ribbons' (the last few pages) can help with getting them to pose just right as well.  Definitely no need to print the last 2 pages, as those are all instructions and reference. Overall this is a fairly tough model, and you should take your time building it to get things just right, especially with the smaller parts. PDO reference, if possible, is extremely helpful.

Height: 0.8 m (2′07″)
Weight: 17.3 kg (38.1 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Deino is a small blue quadrupedal Pokémon with black fur covering its head and neck, concealing everything but its mouth from view. The fur around the neck appears to be bruised and the tail to be bitten off. As it is blind, it will bite at and eat anything that moves, and it has the vigor and energy to bite constantly and without stopping, so precautions must be taken before aproaching a Deino. It primarily lives in caves with abundant water sources.

LINK



??? / LINK - Zelda Papercraft
Name: Link
Type: Hero of Hyrule
Species: Hero
Height: Varied
Weight: Average
Interesting Facts: Link's physical characteristics fluctuate from game to game, though he usually has light-colored hair (ranging from brown to blonde to orange), blue eyes, and a medium build. Other characters sometimes think of him as handsome. It is unlikely that Link's age exceeds nineteen years at any point in the series thus far. In many installments of the series, Link is the bearer of the Triforce of Courage. Several games mention a Triforce mark on Link's left hand, which identifies him either as a chosen hero or the holder of the Triforce of Courage. Teenage incarnations of Link have rather well built physiques while younger versions of him are at least moderate in size. It is shown that Link is, at the very least, of the same height as normal Hylians around his age (with the exception of Twilight Princess Link who appears to be shorter than most Hylians near his age).

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 25.0 cm/ 9.8 in
Width: 24.5 cm/ 9.6 in
Depth: 29.3 cm/ 11.5 in
No. of Pages: 11 (+4 for base)
Number of Parts: 109
Level: Medium-Hard
Designer: Brandon

NOTES: This one is pretty straightforward, though the head can be a little tricky. Be sure to follow numbers, and close at the feet. Base is optional, but suggested.

VULPIX ALOLAN (Merry Christmas!)



037 / VULPIX Alolan- Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Vulpix Alolan Form
Type: Ice
Species: Fox Pokémon
Height: 0.6 m (2′00″)
Weight: 9.9 kg (21.8 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: In the Alola region, Vulpix has adapted to snowy mountain peaks. Its fur has become snowy white. It has pale blue paws, blue eyes, and dark blue insides its ears. Its snout is more pronounced and pointed than that of non-Alolan Vulpix. The locks of hair on its head and its six tails are curlier with a wispy appearance. Alolan Vulpix is believed to have arrived in the region at the same time as humans, but moved to the snow-capped mountain to avoid other Pokémon. It can be found in small pack with two to five individuals. Alolan Vulpix can expel breath as cold as -58°F (-50°C), which is capable of freezing anything. While it is not suited to warmer environments, its tail can produce ice to lower the surrounding temperature if needed. According to the Pokédex, an older name for Alolan Vulpix is Keokeo.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 16.0 cm / 6.3 in
Width: 15.3 cm / 6.0 in
Depth: 18.9 cm / 7.4 in
Pages: 6
Pieces: 46
Level: Medium/Hard
Designer: Brandon
Photo: LuIS
NOTES: Start at the top of the tail. Lightly fold the sharper lines to give it a better shape, the valley folds for example. Build the six pieces of the top, starting at the middle two. The back part ofthe tail is the hardest, make sure to take your time there. Build the back around the tail, gluing the legs as soon as they are ready. When you reach 23, put the built part aside and start at the head, from the nose up. Build the ears before gluing the details to it. Glue the curls at the top of the head while you can still apply presure from the inside. Glue piece 38 to the head and only now glue it to the rest of the body. Proceed to the front legs, closing at the front paw.
