Gardevoir is the original final evolution of Ralts. It was initially only a psychic type but became a psychic / fairy type when the fairy type was introduced.
Unlike most pokemon builds, I feel that Gardevoir isn’t really recognizable. This is for 2 major reasons.
First, the head is misshapen and doesn’t appear like the head in video games. The head in video games is much smoother and rounder than the head. Also, Gardevoir has redder eyes, so it might be slightly better if red bricks had been used for the eyes.
Secondly, I also feel that the body isn’t correct. The nanoblock Gardevoir appears to wear a skirt with visible legs. The build simply has the skirt without the legs.
The first few steps of the build create the base of Gardevoir’s skirt. Laying out the entire skirt took about half of my larger nanoblock pad.
After creating the base, the body goes up in layers of white. Then the arms are added along with the detail coming out of Gardevoir’s chest.
The head begins with creating a base layer over a few steps. The head goes up in straightforward layers adding details to the face. I feel that the head isn’t shaped in a recognizable way.
The final step is to attach the head to the body, and the build is done.
Things I liked:
- I really like the detail in the skirt and how it creates Gardevoir’s hips.
Things I didn’t like:
- I feel that this build isn’t very recognizable as the Pokemon Gardevoir. The head isn’t really appropriately shaped, which I find disappointing since, normally, Pokemon builds are very recognizable.
