Pokemon Fan Creates Incredibly Cute Crochet Version Of Lechonk

A fan of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet makes a crocheted version of Lechonk, a newly introduced Pokemon that will be part of the upcoming title.

The most recent trailer video released for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet treated the franchise’s fanbase to a whole range of new information. Offering more details than the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet announcement trailer, the community learned about the game’s official release dates, each version’s legendary Pokemon, and was introduced to a new Normal type Hog Pokemon called Lechonk. Now, a fan has produced a crocheted version of Lechonk that looks like it is perfect to put in any fan’s pocket.

GAMERANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

The Pokemon community will likely agree that the list of new Pokemon introduced in every generation is one of the franchise’s most anticipated features. Though the new region in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet remains unnamed, the game’s new trailer revealed new and returning Pokemon. Given just how enthusiastic the Pokemon fanbase can be, and with Lechonk seemingly becoming the darling of the community the moment it was revealed, it is not surprising for fans to already be making artwork and drawing up theories about the Hog Pokemon.


On Reddit, user 1UpAshe shared a photo of the crochet version of Lechonk that they created with the rest of the Pokemon community. The crochet plush looks incredibly cute yet accurate. The plush figure showcases a lot of the Pokemon’s details, from Lechonk’s round body, its pink snout and feet, to the yellow tears lining the bottom of its eyes. According to 1UpAshe’s profile, they seem to have quite a lot of experience in making crochet Pokemon plush toys. Their Instagram and website both share news about their latest crafting project, and the artist also gives back to the community by providing free crochet patterns that fellow fans can follow.


Many replies on the Reddit thread showed their adoration and love for 1UpAshe’s crochet version of Lechonk. Though some fans questioned if the Pokemon’s name was real, the community shared some facts and theories revolving around the meaning behind Lechonk’s name in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, it is quite obvious that the fans on the online forum are still as smitten with the Hog Pokemon as when they first saw it in the trailer.

Lechonk is not the only new pocket creature introduced in the second Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer. Other Pokemon such as Pawmi and Smoliv were also revealed in the footage. Hopefully 1UpAshe will work their crafting magic and make more crochet versions of the new Pokemon from Generation 9 in the future.


Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will release on November 18, 2022 on the Nintendo Switch.
