PLUSLE

This is the next in a very long list of requests from a Pokemon-obsessed Etsy customer that I have.  Plusle is one of set of twin Electric Pokemon.  His twin in Minun.  I am glad that my customer asked me to make both because I do not believe that it would be right to make one and not the other.  This pattern includes the color for both Plusle and Shiny Plusle.   The pattern for Minun and Shiny Minun coming soon.
