Ohhh thanks for the tip, Iāll check it out as well since I love making pokemon
The patterns I found are from a free blog by crochetfanatic, though they do have errors sometimes (I adjust small stuff anyway so not big problem for me)

Red Heart Super Saver is my favorite for amigurumi, Big Twist from Joannās is my second favorite. Both have great color selections. RHSS is definitely sturdy, Big Twist is slightly softer but still good.

I want to like RHSS, but I canāt stand the pilling. Thus, either buying a blend or anti-pilling acrylic.

I crochet almost exclusively PokĆ©mon! My favorite yarn is either Big Twist or I Love This Yarn for smaller plushes and Bernat for larger. āI love This Yarnā has a huge color selection and the acrylic is really soft. Big Twist also has a large range, but the softness is hit or miss with every color but itās cheaper by a bit!
I would also suggest finding patterns that are rounder and less detailed. Sometimes the detailed PokĆ©mon amigurumi patterns can come out uncanny and wonky :ā)
As for the details, needle felting or felt works best for the smaller plushes and felt/ crocheting details for bernat is the best <3

Thank you for contributing to the conversation AND for the tips.
I think the really detailed ones areāānt even made by the designer.

I love to crochet PokĆ©mon! (And have even made a few patterns.) Iām partial to chenille and other squishy yarns, myself, and I often use a mix of Bernat Blanket/Bernat Baby Blanket, Yarn Bee Cozy Occasion and Premier Basix Chenille, which are roughly at a similar gauge and allow me a good range of colors.
Other yarns I like using for amigurumi have been Lion Brand Wool Ease and Thick & Quick, as well as Miraās 10-ply acrylic. (Most listings are 4-ply, so it may take a little searching!)
