ZORUA

This is a cute little Pokemon.  I made Zorua because a customer of mine on Etsy asked I had a plush of him.  The others that he asked about were Vulpix, Cyndaquil, Regice and Mimikyu.  The only one that I already had a pattern for is Vulpix.  The others will come soon.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Zoura and Shiny Zorua.
