VOLTORB

This is probably one of the easiest Pokemon to make.  Voltorb is basically a Pokeball without the black strip and button but with eyes.  Electrode is also not far from the description as well.  This pattern can be made either stuffing Voltorb with polyester fiberfill or a tennis ball.  This pattern includes the color list for both Voltorb and Shiny Voltorb.
