SLAKOTH

Slakoth is a Pokemon that looks a lot like a sloth.  My daughter saw a sloth on the GEICO commercials and wanted me to make one for her.  When she saw that there was a Pokemon that looked like a sloth, she decided to Slakoth to her extremely long “to do” list.  This is the pattern that I came up with for Slakoth.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Slakoth and Shiny Slakoth.
