A talentedPokemonplayer is paying homage to Sprigatito with a life-sized sculpture of the cute feline Grass starter. Like all mainlinePokemonentries, 2022’sPokemon Scarlet and Violetgave players a choice between three starter creatures at the start of their journey through the Paldea region, with the catlike Sprigatito serving as the traditional Grass-type option. As per the norm withPokemonstarters, Sprigatito can grow stronger over time, evolving into Floragato at level 16 and becoming Meowscarada at level 32.
It didn’t take long for Sprigatito and its two evolutionary stages to become popular amongPokemonfans, to the point where the Grass Cat Pokemon now has a starring role as Liko’s first partner in thePokemon Horizonsanime. As is the case with many popular Pokemon, particularly skilled fans have created inspired artwork themed after Sprigatito, from custom sneakers and rice portraitsto realistic Sprigatito designsand alternate variants that imagine the kitty with a different elemental type.
