Crocheted Pokédex

Welcome to my crocheted pokédex! This is my collection of yarn pokémon that I've caught out in the wild. I found most of them on my own*, but had some help from fellow trainers** to catch a few of them! The info provided mostly comes from my own observations of these little guys, but I also draw information from bulbapedia from time to time. Enjoy!

*(this means I crocheted the pokémon freehand without using a pattern)

**(this means I used part or all of someone else's pattern to crochet a pokémon. Patterns will be cited when used!)

Seen: 420

Caught: 56

#0043: Oddish

Caught: Spring of 2020 and December of 2022

Observations: The second Oddish I caught seems to be quite young, and even though I got him his own pot of dirt to burrow in during the day, he insists on bunking with my other Oddish in her pot. She doesn't seem to mind, probably because the new Oddish is so tiny, he hardly takes up any room. At night they like to run around and play with my cat.

#0077: Ponyta (Galarian)

Caught: April of 2021

Observations: She keeps her mane and tail very well-kept. She makes friends with new pokémon very easily.

#0094: Gengar

Caught: December of 2022

Observations: He likes when I tell stories with shadow puppets, often hopping in the shadows to participate himself. He spooks some of the newer pokémon, but he ultimately means well.

#0114: Tangela

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: This is by far the tiniest pokémon I've caught. He loves to ride around in my jacket pocket and peek out at the world. I learned the hard way that if I put other objects in that pocket they'll get tangled in his little vines.

#0143: Snorlax

Caught: September of 2022

Observations: True to his name, he sleeps most of the time. He's sweet and patient and has been especially helpful making new pokémon feel at home here. His favorite food is cereal and he never forgets to drink the milk.

#0147: Dratini

Caught: January of 2021

Observations: Unlike the snake-like movements of Dragonair, this Dratini likes to roll to get places. I think this might be specific to this individual Dratini though, and she has a silly personality overall. The only time she doesn't roll to get around is when there are sweets to be had.

#0148: Dragonair

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: She likes basking in the sun, and has taken to curling around the base of my lamp to nap in the evenings (she's quite small). I've had to start using only my water bottle because she'll splash and play in any open cup of water.

#0162: Furret

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: He loves nothing more than to cuddle. He will also shred any plastic bag in sight with his sharp little teeth. Sometimes we play hide and go seek, but if I take too long to find him he'll start impatiently chittering.

#0173: Cleffa

Caught: January of 2021

Observations: She found an old bag of glow-in-the-dark stars in my crafting cabinet and was so pleased she carried them around everywhere. Together, we built a little play fort for her out of a shoebox and the glow-in-the-dark stars. She loves when new pokémon come around so she can show it off.

#0179: Mareep

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: She likes to roll around in the fresh laundry to collect the static. Often, socks will stick to her wool in this process.

#0180: Flaaffy

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: She evolved so quickly! She still loves the fresh laundry and will "help" fold the clothes.

#0181: Ampharos

Caught: Fall of 2023

Observations: She finally evolved! Still just as cuddly though :)

#0187: Hoppip

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: She's very high energy! I could barely get her to land and stay still enough for this picture.

#0188: Skiploom

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: She evolved! Still very energetic.

#0189: Jumpluff

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: She evolved again! She loves doing cartwheels.

#0194: Wooper

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: Credit to this trainer for the help! This silly little guy loves jamming to music. His dancing is a lot of jumping up and down, swaying back and forth, or nodding his head solemnly, depending on the song. I tried to teach him how to spin, but I think it makes him too dizzy.

#0213: Shuckle

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: He's incredibly curious and his favorite activity is to explore new places in my apartment. This can make him hard to find at times, but he always comes running if I pull out the oats.

#0215: Sneasel

Caught: February 2024

Observations: While Sneasel has a reputation for being a vicious pokémon, this little one is incredibly sweet (at least so long as I keep plenty of eggs in the house). She often hugs my wrist, which is extremely cute.

#0220: Swinub

Caught: April of 2022 and March of 2023

Observations: They've got quite the sense of smell - nothing stays lost for terribly long if they know what it smells like. I sneak them into Target with me so we can pick out scented candles together.

#0273: Seedot

Caught: Early 2024

Observations: I actually caught her by accident when a pokéball I threw missed the rowlet I was aiming for and hit a tree that she was hanging from. She loves to be the center of attention, and seems quite happy here where there are plenty of pokémon to play with.

#0283: Surskit

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: I found him dancing on the surface of the water of a bird bath in a park. I named him Skeeter after the water spiders in Super Mario Sunshine. He'll do different dances for different types of liquid - my favorite is the lemonade ballet.

#0285: Shroomish

Caught: January of 2021

Observations: I found him after an unusually heavy bout of rain. He smells of wet, fresh earth and happily takes care of fruit that's started to mold. Don't be fooled by his grumpy face, he's got quite the sense of humor.

#0300: Skitty

Caught: May of 2021

Observations: She's very playful. None of my shoelaces are safe.

#0353: Shuppet

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: If you look closely, Shuppets are all over the place. I've seen several sneak into people's hats. They usually travel in at least pairs. I caught this little pair near a bus stop.

Two crocheted shuppets, one larger and one smaller

#0363: Spheal

Caught: Fall of 2023

Observations: She likes to play "bowling" with anything she can manage to knock over (which is luckily not much because she's rather small).

#0370: Luvdisc

Caught: February of 2022

Observations: I found her in the nearby creek. She swam right up to me and patiently waited for me to get out a pokéball. In general, I think she just knows what she wants.

Crocheted luvdisc from the side, so she looks like a heart

#0406: Budew

Caught: January of 2021

Observations: She politely waits for me to open the window to disperse her pollen. She knows it's better for my allergies.

#0417: Pachirisu

Caught: October of 2021

Observations: He "finds" and stows away various things around the house like spools of thread, packets of fruit snacks, batteries, etc. He's still working on sharing.

#0420: Cherubi

Caught: Early 2024

Observations: She's pretty laid back. Her favorite thing to do is watch cartoons. She gets along well with Snorlax.

#0423: Gastrodon

Caught: Fall of 2023

Observations: Apparently in the ancient Hisui region, gastrodons of different colors were known to fight. With these two gastrodons, I've found the opposite to be true - they're best friends. I love these silly little guys with all my heart.

#0425: Drifloon

Caught: Februrary of 2021

Observations: If I don't take them on their nightly walk, they drift from wall to wall, bouncing gently like that one DVD screen saver. They share my love of how clouds look at night.

#0448: Lucario

Caught: April of 2021

Observations: He climbs up to the roof to watch clouds or stars. I think he just likes the quiet. He seems to enjoy my company when I'm just sitting and reading.

#0471: Glaceon

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: She loves meeting new people, but only one at a time (crowds, reasonably, stress her out). She'll sometimes sprinkle snow into the drink of whoever she's meeting. It's unclear if this is intended to freshen their drink, as a prank, or as a mysterious sign of affection. (Credit to this trainer for the help!)

#0541: Swadloon

Caught: Early 2024

Observations: She keeps to herself most of the time, but likes when I turn on the heated blanket.

#0546: Cottonee

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: I found this little one nestled into my yarn. He's a bit shy and very sweet. I've noticed my cotton yarns (he stays away from acrylic) are never tangled since he showed up! :)

#0548: Petilil

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: She's very interested in cooking. She joins me sometimes as my "junior chef" when I make dinner. Adding the spices is her favorite part.

#0568: Trubbish

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations:

#0582: Vanillite

Caught: Fall of 2023

Observations:

#0585: Deerling

Caught: 2021

Observations: It was very fun to see this little one change colors with the seasons. I first caught her in spring (pink) and was delighted to see her turn green in the summertime. I was fascinated to see that the new colors come from shedding the previous coat and growing in a new one (like when cats shed in summer lol).

#0708: Phantump

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations:

#0722: Rowlet

Caught: Early 2024

Observations: She's obsessed with books. I don't think pokémon can read, but that doesn't stop her from hopping over the pages of a book and hooting insistently at whichever pokémon has stopped to listen, before turning the page and doing it again. I read to her over breakfast (her bedtime).

#0753: Fomantis

Caught: Early 2024

Observations: He likes to tour different window sills in the apartment to bask in the sun. I have to be careful taking him outside because he'll fall asleep in tall grass and can be quite difficult to find.

#0754: Lurantis

Caught: Early 2024

Observations:

#0755: Morelull

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: A helpful nightlight and a wonderful friend.

#0759: Stufful

Caught: Fall of 2023

Observations: Extremely cuddly. Does not want to not be cuddling.

#0761: Bounsweet

Caught: Early 2024

Observations: An extremely sweet little guy. We go on walks - she always wants to walk herself but is so small I have to pick her up before we reach the sidewalk.

#0771: Pyukumuku

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations:This little guy decided that the window sill above the kitchen sink is his spot. He won't even move to rehydrate, so I've taken to misting him with a spray bottle of water. Curiously, he always faces towards the kitchen, and never looks out the window.

#0778: Mimikyu

Caught: Spring of 2020 and April of 2023

Observations: It took a while for my first mimikyu to come out of his shell (metaphorically speaking, of course he’d never take off his Pikachu disguise). Luckily, my second mimikyu warmed up a lot faster, with the first to help her feel more welcomed and at home.

Crocheted mimikyu with rich deep yellow as it's disguise - more reminiscent of pikachu's color palette than the colors typically associated with mimikyu.

#0811: Thwackey

Caught: June of 2023

Observations: This is an upbeat little fellow (pun intended). We play the game of 'will it drum?' in which he whacks different things to see how pleasing the resulting sound is. He is almost always delighted, regardless of the material.

#0830: Eldegoss

Caught: Early 2024

Observations: She's just a baby. I think her cotton puff will grow as she gets older.

#0831: Wooloo

Caught: December of 2019

Observations: Silly and joyful. She just likes hanging out. (Credit to this trainer for the help!)

#0854: Sinistea

Caught: April of 2021

Observations: I found her in a thrift shop. She seemed happy for the company and gets along well with the others :) Her favorite prank is to nestle amongst the mugs in the kitchen and try to trick guests into picking her up.

#0868: Milcery

Caught: June of 2023

Observations: At the beginning of the day she spends a very long time hovering very still (or as still as she can manage with her little bouncing milk droplet) considering all of the people and pokémon in the apartment. She chooses one to follow around for the rest of the day, retreating only to rest when it gets dark out.

#0873: Frosmoth

Caught: Spring of 2020

Observations: This Frosmoth somehow made her way into my apartment. I found white flakes trailing through the living room (which I later learned were her shed scales). I followed them to find her freezing drops of water from the sink as they fell, seemingly for fun.

#0928: Smoliv

Caught: Early 2024

Observations: She's easily startled and likes to hang out in high places (usually the tops of cabinets) so she can see everything below.

#0959: Tinkaton

Caught: May of 2023

Observations: She likes to crush empty soda cans before we recycle them and keeps the pull tabs as trophies.
