Mudsdale Coloring Pages

Free Mudsdale Coloring Pages: 20 printable PDF designs featuring this Ground-type Pokémon, from character portraits to cute kid-friendly style. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.

Mudsdale Coloring Pages feature a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, first appearing in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Officially known as the Draft Horse Pokémon, Mudsdale is based on real draft horses, particularly the Clydesdale, and stands 8 feet 2 inches tall while weighing over 2,000 pounds, making it the heaviest known non-legendary Ground-type Pokémon. Its chocolate brown body is topped with a black-and-red mane styled into thick, dreadlock-like clusters tipped with red mud, and its legs are coated in a protective layer of hardened mud that adds extra force to its powerful kicks. Mudsdale evolves from Mudbray starting at level 30.

This collection groups its 20 designs into character portraits, cute and kid-friendly style, and line-art sketches with color references, giving fans a range of designs to match any coloring session.

What Is Inside This Collection

The 20 Mudsdale designs fall into three groups based on style.

Character Portraits

These pages show Mudsdale in a standard standing pose, highlighting its bulky, muscular body and dreadlock-styled mane. Color the body in Crayola Brown or Sepia, with the mane in Black and Mahogany Red at the tips, and use Raw Sienna for the mud coating around the hooves.

Cute and Kid-Friendly Style

These pages simplify Mudsdale into a rounder, softer design with a gentler expression, ideal for younger colorists. A slightly lighter Tan or Desert Sand on the body keeps the look approachable while still hinting at its sturdy, working-horse build.

Line-Art Sketches and Color References

This group includes looser sketch-style drawings and simplified color-reference pages, useful for a quick coloring session. Stick to two or three flat colors, Brown for the body and Black for the mane, for a clean, quick result.

What Mudsdale Coloring Pages Do

Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7. Mudsdale’s dreadlock-styled mane and mud-coated hooves give children practice with careful, controlled detail work alongside the larger body shape.

Connecting to a favorite character. Mudsdale is a recognizable Pokémon from the Alola region, and coloring a familiar character gives children a rewarding, recognizable subject to work with, which can build confidence for tackling more detailed designs later.

Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. Mudsdale’s calm, steady, unshakeable personality pairs naturally with the same grounded, repetitive focus that structured coloring encourages.

Learning about real draft horses. Mudsdale’s design gives children a natural opening to talk about real draft horses like the Clydesdale, including how these breeds were historically used for heavy farm and hauling work.

How to Color Mudsdale Pages Well

• Body: Base the bulky body in Crayola Brown or Sepia, keeping the color even across the muscular torso and legs.
• Mane and tail: Color the dreadlock-styled mane and tail Black, adding Mahogany Red at the tips to match Mudsdale’s signature look.
• Mud coating: Use Raw Sienna or Burnt Sienna around the hooves and lower legs to show the hardened mud coating that protects them.
• Eyes: Fill the heavy-lidded eyes with Black, adding a thin Red rim along the bottom edge for an accurate, calm expression.
• Muzzle: Add a Red blaze marking across the muzzle, keeping the rest of the face a lighter Tan or Sepia.
• Simple outline pages: Stick to two colors, Brown for the body and Black for the mane, for a quick, clean result.
