ThePokemonfranchise is one of the most popular and recognizable IPs in the gaming world. With popularity remaining consistent even pastPokemon’s25th anniversary, fans of the series have often created tributes either to their favorite game,Pokemon, or region. These tributes and pieces of fan art come in all shapes, sizes, and designs, ranging from 3D renders of the 2D areas of the earlier games, to recreations of the iconicPallet Town inFar Cry 5.
With the record-breaking release ofPokemon Legends: Arceusas well,Pokemonfans have had a whole new time period, map, and HisuianPokemonto use as inspirations for their art. One fan even went so far as to create their own recreation of the woodenPoke Ball seen inPokemon Legends: Arceus. Another fan also used wood for theirPokemon-inspired creation, yet instead of focusing onPokemonfrom the newest mainline game, they instead chose to focus on creatures from the oldest titles.

Posting their impressive creation to Reddit, user u/FrigginBoomT carved a wooden box inspired by the stained-glass design of the three legendary birds card from thePokemontrading card game. Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos all make their appearance on the box, which manages to capture the design of the original card perfectly. The three legendary birds have been a fan-favorite trio ofPokemonsince their introduction in the first generationPokemongames, even making their way toPokemon SwordandShieldin their Galarian forms.
Fans were quick to praise the design and effort put in to making the wooden box, with the creator going into further detail on the effort it took to create. “I like all my carvings to have weird ancient vibes,” said the creator. “So I add faux damage and weathering and wash out all the color. I want them to look like some old relic you might find in a cave in one of the games. I also add realPokemonspirits into the box to curse it.”
The wooden box posted to Reddit is surprisingly not the first timePokemonfan art has made use of stained-glass designs. Alongside the box inspired by the three legendary birds card, the significant other of another Reddit user created someincredible art of dragon-typePokemonFlygon and fan favorite of the series Eevee. Alongside those pieces, for Halloween one fan created an amazing stained-glass piece of art inspired by Togepi.
