Pokemon Fan Shares an Impressive Wood Carving of Archen
Even thoughPokemon’s Archen can appear as a shiny variant, sporting green, orange, and yellow plumage, the artist decided to keep the bird’s original colorway. Redditors praised the artist’s precise carving and pristine paintwork, preceding fans' demand for the artist to consider opening an Etsy storefront to sell their creations. EvenPokemonfans who expressed they were not a fan of Archen admitted how cute the creation was, and some even viewed the carving as some sort of lucky totem they’d love to carry around for protection.
Archen is categorized as a Rock/Flying Fossil Pokemon and revived from a Plume Fossil. The First Bird later evolves into Archeops and boasts the Defeatist ability, with several appearances in Nintendo’s video games beginning withPokemon Black and Whiteand more recently featuring inPokemon Sword and Shield. Archen is one ofthe rarest Pokemonto encounter, especially inPokemon GO, considering the creature is extinct inPokemonlore, and the community is doing their bit to keep the bird alive through fan art as well.
