AMPHAROS

Ampharos will complete the evolution Mareep/Flaaffy/Ampharos evolution chain.  Ampharos is also another Pokemon on my daughter’s always growing “To Do” list that she gave me when Pokemon Go came out.  Ampharos was one of the original ones on the list and it has taken a customer on Etsy asking me to make one to finally get to it.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Ampharos and Shiny Ampharos.
