While the Pokemon games are filled with many kinds of Pokemon to catch and train, some are considered more valuable than others. For example, the Mythical group contains some of the rarest Pokemon to find in the entire franchise. Among these Mythical creatures, one of the more notable members is Deoxys.
First introduced as part of the Gen 3 Pokedex, Deoxys is a Psychic-type Mythical Pokemon. While the Pokemon does not evolve, it has several sci-fi-looking Formes: Attack, Defense, Speed, and Normal, each featuring an orange and green color scheme. As a result of this alien-like appearance, it is instantly recognizable to many fans. Recently, one gamer decided to make artwork based on this impressive Mythical Pokemon.
In a post on Reddit, a user known as twolf201 shared a video of a recent project they completed using a 3D printer. What made this particular project stand out was that the creator decided to make a 3D-printed Deoxys from the Pokemon series. In the clip, they demonstrated the flexibility of the printed object, as numerous parts of its body could be moved into different positions. Among the highlights of the design was its 4 long arms.
Beyond sharing a video of the creation on Reddit, twolf201 provided some details about designing 3D models. According to the creator, 3D printing Pokemon, such as this Deoxys, was made easier since most of them were composed of geometric shapes. Once they had the main figure down, they would then add details to the design. Remarkably, this is just one of several creations made by the Reddit user in recent days. For those wanting to see more, the creator has shared a number of 3D-printed models on Reddit, such as a Mega Rayquaza and a Lickitung from the Pokemon series.
This post featuring a 3D model of Deoxys caught the attention of numerous members of the Pokemon community on Reddit. With over 1.5K upvotes in less than a day, many were impressed by the detail in the model. Among the comments, praise went to the design of movable limbs. In addition, some people enjoyed the look of the Pokemon so much that it spurred them to want and buy a 3D printer for themselves. “I’ve never wanted a 3D printer more than I do right now,” BringMeAHigherLunch said on Reddit.
While this Deoxys creation was doubtlessly impressive, it was far from the only 3D-printed artwork made by talented fans over the past couple of weeks. For example, another gamer recently created a replica of an Onix using a 3D printer. With no shortage of Pokemon to choose from in the franchise, it will be interesting to see what creatures fans decide to 3D print next.
