How to Color Pokemon
Pokemon Coloring Pages cover such a wide range of creatures that color choices really depend on which character a page features, though most fans already know the signature look of their favorites by heart. Pikachu Coloring Pages calls for bright yellow with red cheeks and black eartips, Charmander needs orange scales with a bright flame tail, and Bulbasaur pairs blue green skin with a darker green plant bulb on its back. Getting these familiar color schemes right is part of what makes each finished page so satisfying.
Beyond the individual creatures, this collection includes plenty of scene variety to keep things interesting. Battle pages often call for dramatic lighting effects like glowing attacks or electric sparks, which pair nicely with bold, saturated colors, while calmer scenes showing Pokemon resting or playing together suit softer, more muted palettes. Trainer characters add another layer of color choice, since their outfits can be customized freely even when the Pokemon beside them stick to their official color schemes.
Crayons work well for younger fans and give a soft, classic finish to simpler designs, while colored pencils allow more precise shading for detailed creatures like Gengar or Charizard. Markers create bold, vivid color that makes glowing attacks and bright scales really stand out, though thinner paper can bleed through, so cardstock is worth using for marker or watercolor projects. Layering a lighter base color before adding shadows gives any creature more depth, and experimenting with shiny or alternate color schemes is a fun way to make a familiar Pokemon feel brand new.
Our Favorite Pages in This Collection
This collection ranges from simple single character portraits perfect for younger fans just learning a creature’s colors to elaborate battle scenes packed with multiple Pokemon, special effects, and detailed backgrounds for older kids and dedicated fans. Beginners often gravitate toward the bigger, simpler designs featuring one creature with minimal linework, while more experienced colorists tend to reach for the busier group scenes that offer plenty of small details to fill in. Having both ends of that range in one collection means fans of any age or skill level can find a page that fits.
A couple of designs really stand out from the rest of the set. The evolution lineup pages, which show a Pokemon’s full evolutionary line side by side, give colorists a satisfying way to track how colors shift and intensify as a creature grows stronger. On the calmer end, a simplified Eevee portrait with its big eyes and fluffy collar works beautifully for quick, low pressure sessions or for a young fan just building confidence with a crayon.
5 Fun Craft Ideas with Your Finished Pages
- Pokemon Trainer Card
Glue a finished Pokemon page onto a piece of cardstock cut to trading card size, then add the creature’s name and a few fun facts underneath. Laminate the card or cover it with clear contact paper for durability. Kids can trade their homemade cards with friends just like the real thing. - Evolution Bookmark
Trim a smaller Pokemon page down to a slim bookmark shape and cover both sides with clear contact paper. Punch a hole near the top and thread through a short piece of colorful yarn or ribbon. It makes a fun handmade gift for a fellow Pokemon fan who loves to read. - Pokemon Paper Puppet
Cut out a colored Pokemon shape and glue it onto a craft stick or straw to make a simple puppet. Kids can act out mini battles or adventures with a few different creatures on hand. A small paper base glued to the bottom helps each puppet stand upright. - Classroom Door Hanger
Color and cut out a favorite Pokemon page, then attach it to a piece of construction paper cut into a hanger shape with a slit near the top. Slide it over a doorknob for a cheerful bedroom or classroom decoration. Teachers can use a batch of these for a fun Pokemon themed unit. - Pokemon Party Garland
Punch two holes at the top of several finished pages and string them together with twine or ribbon. Hang the garland across a wall or table for an easy, budget friendly party decoration. It works especially well for a Pokemon themed birthday celebration.
Printing Tips
Every page in this collection comes as a downloadable PDF that prints cleanly on both US Letter and A4 paper, so fans anywhere in the world can print without worrying about resizing or cropping. Standard copy paper works fine for crayon and colored pencil projects, while cardstock holds up better to markers, gel pens, or watercolors without soaking through. Glossy paper adds a nice polished finish for pages destined for a frame, a binder, or a gift.
Beyond a solo coloring session, these pages work wonderfully for classroom activities during a Pokemon themed unit, party favors at a birthday celebration, or a screen free activity pack for a rainy afternoon. Teachers can print a stack ahead of time for an easy break between lessons, and parents planning a party can send guests home with a finished page as a simple keepsake. Trading finished pages with friends adds a fun social element that fits perfectly with the spirit of the franchise itself.
