Game Freak andPokemonfans continue to celebrate this year’s Pokemon Day by honoring their favorite Pokemon, creating fan art, and coming up with better strategies for the various games in the franchise. OnePokemonfan has decided to create multiple Pokemon through papercraft, including Diancie and Mega Diancie.
Reddit user CrafterWong recently shared their papercraft versions of the Pokemon Diancie and itsMega evolutionform. Although Diancie and Mega Diancie aren’t available in the recently releasedPokemon Legends: Arceus, severalPokemonfans have expressed their enthusiasm for the DIY and CrafterWong has since shared their templates and an instructional video. CrafterWong has confirmed that the Diancie and Mega Diancie papercraft are particularly difficult to start with, but they have information on other Pokemon that are more easily recreated through this art style.

According to CrafterWong, Diancie is easier to craft by attaching separate parts together, starting with the head, then the headdress, the body, Diancie’s skirt, and finally the additional gems for detail. To make Diancie and Mega Diancie,Pokemonfans will need standard printer paper with a printer to use CrafterWong’s templates, scissors, glue, a toothpick, a PDF viewer such as Adobe, and a program called Pepakura viewer to see where pieces in the finished product are placed. Although many of the3D Pokemon modelscould be created using a 3D printer with corresponding filaments, CrafterWong has stated that they don’t have a 3D printer to expand their crafts with.
Diancie is one of the many Mythical Pokemon featured throughout the series, and it was first added to the growing roster ofPokemon in Generation 6withPokemon XandY. ManyPokemonfans will also be familiar with Diancie from the movie released in 2014 calledPokemon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destructionin which the Mythical Pokemon plays an important role. Diancie was first acquired inPokemon XandYthrough an event that rewarded it, while otherPokemonplayers have accessed it throughPokemon Bank.
Diancie isn’t the first Pokemon that CrafterWong has created through papercraft as they have shown off others in the past. CrafterWong’s lineup of paper Pokemon includes all the LegendaryPokemonfromGoldandSilver, Octillery, Snorlax, Blastoise, and Lapras. Just like with Diancie and Mega Diancie, CrafterWong has made instructional posts and videos to explain the process of creating them. It’s currently unclear whichPokemonCrafterWong will recreate through papercraft, but the artist has covered other franchises in the past such asKirby,Plants vs. Zombies, andBloons Tower Defense.
