Free Poipole Coloring Pages: 22 printable PDF designs of the Pokemon Ultra Beast, shown in simple portraits and playful expressions. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.

Poipole is a Poison-type Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, part of the Ultra Beast group of species that originate from Ultra Space rather than the main Pokemon world. Officially classified as the Poison Pin Pokemon, Poipole has a small, bipedal body with a large head, oval eyes, and needle-like spikes, a design based loosely on a bee larva. It is the only Ultra Beast capable of evolving, changing into Naganadel once it learns the move Dragon Pulse and gains a level. Poipole also appeared in the Pokemon anime, where it was caught and later released by the character Ash Ketchum. This collection focuses on Poipole in its original, pre-evolved form, capturing its rounded shape and expressive eyes across a range of simple and more detailed designs.

The set spans 22 pages, ranging from plain character portraits to more expressive poses showing Poipole happy, laughing, or crying.

What Is Inside This Collection

The 22 designs group into a few recurring styles, from simple portraits to more expressive poses.

Classic Character Portraits

Several pages show Poipole in a straightforward standing pose, focused on its rounded body, large head, and the spikes that give the species its distinctive silhouette.

Expressive and Emotional Poses

A number of pages capture Poipole mid-emotion, laughing, crying, or looking happy, giving colorers a chance to focus on facial detail rather than the full body.

Kawaii-Style Designs

Several pages lean into a rounder, softer kawaii art style, simplifying Poipole’s features into an especially cute, approachable version of the character.

Simple Printable Sheets

A handful of shorter, single-image pages present Poipole with light detail, sized for a quick single-session print or younger colorers.

What Poipole 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. Poipole’s rounded body and small spikes give colorers practice with both broad, sweeping strokes and finer detail work.

Character recognition for Pokemon fans. Coloring a specific species like Poipole gives kids already familiar with the character from games or the anime a chance to engage creatively with something they already recognize and enjoy.

Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. The simple, contained shape of Poipole makes these pages a quick, low-pressure option for that kind of focused coloring break.

Practice with facial expression. Because several pages focus on a specific emotion, such as laughing or crying, the collection gives colorers a chance to think about how color and shading can support the feeling shown on a face.

How to Color Poipole Pages Well

  • Main body: Use Crayola Orchid or Violet for Poipole’s light purple body, keeping the color soft and even across the rounded shape.
  • Head spikes and needle: A slightly deeper Purple or Gray works well for the pointed spikes and the single needle on top of the head, helping them stand out from the softer body color.
  • Eyes and mouth: Sky Blue or Turquoise suits the glowing cyan tone of Poipole’s eyes and mouth, with a small white highlight to give them a shine.
  • Eyelash-like spikes: A thin line of dark Purple above each eye helps define the small eyelash-style spikes without overpowering the face.
  • Backgrounds: Keep backgrounds simple with Sky Blue or Lavender so the character stays the clear focus of each page.
  • Outlines: Trace final outlines in Black or dark Purple marker to keep the rounded shape crisp and easy to read at a glance.
