Pokemon Fan Shares Adorable Chonky Lugia and Ho-Oh Plushies
A Pokemon fan is gaining attention for their creation of two adorably chonky plush versions of Legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh and Lugia. The works are a combination of two different artists' efforts, and their hilarious proportions strike fans as adorable.

While the needleworker is clearly talented to have created these goofy versions of the Legendary Pokemon, they were quick to share praise with the artist who created the chonky bird patterns they based them on.

With so many Pokemon, most fans have at least one favorite, and the series has not been shy about selling plenty of products to appeal to their players. While many fans enjoy collecting accurate depictions of their favorites, designs like these have their charms, too. Pokemon has partnered with Squishmallow multiple times, releasing similarly-round
