CUBONE

This Is an interesting Pokemon.  Cubone was not on my or my daughter’s “To Do” list.  I admit that the only reason that am making Cubone is because of a request from an Etsy customer.  I am pretty sure that he would not have been done otherwise for a long time, if ever. This pattern includes the color lists for both Cubone and Shiny Cubone.
