Cramorant Coloring Pages

Free Cramorant coloring pages: 21 printable PDF designs featuring this gluttonous, cormorant-inspired Pokemon in portrait, fishing, and lakeside styles. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.

Cramorant is a dual Flying and Water-type Pokemon introduced in Generation VIII, based on the real cormorant bird. It has a blue body, bright green round eyes with small black pupils, a large thin yellow beak, and a ruff of light gray feathers around its torso that sticks out at the back like a bib, along with black, webbed, three-toed feet. Cramorant does not evolve, and its entire design centers on one running joke: it is extremely food-motivated and not especially clever, often trying to swallow prey whole without much thought. Its signature Ability, Gulp Missile, kicks in after it uses the moves Surf or Dive, causing it to emerge with either an Arrokuda, its preferred prey, or a Pikachu stuck in its mouth if its HP has dropped to half or lower. If Cramorant is attacked while in that state, it spits out whatever it caught as a counterattack. An Arrokuda lowers the attacker’s Defense, while a mistakenly swallowed Pikachu leaves them paralyzed. Despite its poor memory and limited intelligence, described in the Pokedex as barely using any brainpower at all, Cramorant is surprisingly powerful in battle and never forgets a trainer it trusts. However, it will turn on anyone who tries to steal its food.

This collection groups its 21 designs into classic portraits and ready-to-print pages, fishing and feeding scenes, its Gorging Form and resting poses, and pages set by the water, giving colorists several ways to bring this comically hungry Pokemon to life.

What Is Inside This Collection

The 21 Cramorant pages are split into four natural groups based on pose and setting.

Classic Portraits and Ready-to-Print Pages

This is the largest group, covering straightforward standing poses along with the simplified, larger-outline designs built for quick printing. A soft blue base for the body pairs well with a bright yellow beak and light gray for the feathered bib around the chest.

Cramorant Fishing and Feeding

This set shows Cramorant actively catching fish or bait, tying directly into its real hunting behavior and its in-game reputation for swallowing prey whole. These pages give colorists room to add water ripples and small fish details around the main figure.

Cramorant’s Gorging Form and Rest

This group includes pages showing Cramorant with a Pikachu caught in its mouth, referencing its signature Gulp Missile ability, alongside a quieter sleeping pose. It is worth noting that Cramorant is sometimes described as dozing off even while still mid-swallow, so the sleep and Pikachu pages pair naturally together.

Cramorant by the Water

This set places Cramorant along a lakeside, pond, or shoreline setting, closer to how real cormorants are typically seen resting between dives. These pages work well with earthy background tones that contrast against Cramorant’s blue feathers.

What Cramorant Coloring Pages Do

A gentle, funny lesson about mistakes: Cramorant is designed around the comedic idea of a bird that sometimes tries to swallow the wrong thing entirely, ending up with a startled Pikachu instead of its preferred Arrokuda. Coloring the Gorging Form page gives a parent or teacher a light, non-judgmental way to talk with children about making an honest mistake and how it is not the end of the world when it happens.

Practicing detail on real bird anatomy. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7, and Cramorant’s webbed feet, feathered bib, and long beak, all modeled on a real cormorant, give children practice with a level of anatomical detail that a more simplified bird design would not require.

Separating loyalty from intelligence. Cramorant is described as forgetful and not especially bright, yet it never forgets a trainer it genuinely trusts. That contrast offers children a simple, real example of how being loyal and being clever are two entirely different qualities, and someone can be strong in one without needing to be strong in the other.

A calm, watery focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. The lakeside and pond settings across these pages, along with Cramorant’s own laid-back, easily distracted personality, give children a naturally unhurried scene to settle into during that focused coloring time.

How to Color Cramorant Pages Well

• Body: Base the body and wings in a soft Blue, keeping the color even and smooth to match Cramorant’s sleek, water-adapted feathers.
• Feathered bib: Color the ruff of feathers around the chest and back in a light Gray, giving it a slightly looser, textured look compared to the smoother blue body.
• Beak: Use a bright Yellow for the long, thin beak, since this is one of Cramorant’s most recognizable features.
• Eyes: Fill the eyes in a vivid Green with a small black pupil, keeping them round and wide for Cramorant’s slightly comical, wide-eyed expression.
• Feet: Color the webbed, three-toed feet in Black, matching Cramorant’s real waterbird-style feet.
• Gorging and Gulping Form pages: On pages showing Arrokuda or Pikachu caught in Cramorant’s mouth, keep those characters in their own accurate colors, silvery blue for Arrokuda or yellow for Pikachu, clearly separated from Cramorant’s own blue feathers.
