Barboach

COMPLETED: 75 GOAL: 649


Barboach ended up being a little bigger then expected, but I wanted to make sure the zig zag would fit down his sides. For those waiting on Blitzle, he's on the way. I usually work on several different Pokemon at one time and finish one by one, so hold on, he is next.
