Pokemon and Minecraft is probably two of the only games where a lot of people will recognize without even playing the game. Both of these games are very well-received by the gaming community and it’s pretty damn amazing how both games can have almost the same format and still be loved by its loyal fans and enthusiasts.
But what if we mix them together into a single game where you’ll have the vibe of Pokemon while you can have the mechanics of Minecraft? Well, congratulations, here are the Top 10 Best Minecraft Pokemon Skins that you should be having in 2020.
Top 10 Best Minecraft Pokemon Skins
Brendan (Pokemon Emerald Male Trainer)
Created by: Seth_Reed
This slick and stylish Brendan skin by Seth_Reed is one of the top-tier choice for any aspiring Trainers out there. I’d say for one, that this skin was done in the most accurate way possible. The clothing, equipment, and the overall quality are faithful to Brendan’s original design.
The inclusion of the green backpack is a solid choice, although when you look at the side, it’s quite immersion-breaking, since the bulkiness of the backpack can still be improve if it weren’t designed as if it’s a flat surface. Still, it’s a very creative touch that has a very detailed look on its inspiration.
Eevee
Created by: Audra
Eevee is perhaps one of the most beloved character in the Pokemon series and also the most flexible Pokemon so far; having 7 variations. But you know what? The base form is already a good one. This Eevee skin will turn you into eevee herself.
Although this look is quite something, it’s still a pretty decent design overall. It’s incredibly funny how silly this skin looks from the front side, considering how Eevee looks like a maniac straight out of a SCP containment facility, but if you don’t mind the form, I’m sure you’ll appreciate the faithfulness to the design.
Greninja
Created by: Drazile
If you think ninjas are cool and you love Pokemon, there’s only one Pokemon that stands out among all of them, and it’s Greninja. This Minecraft skin was made by Drazile and surprisingly, it is comparable to the stylish and edgy look of Greninja, considering how awesome he looks in the list of the 6th gen Pokemon.
If paired this skin is remastered in Unreal Engine 4 and used assets for raytracing, the scarf could stand out a bit polished than just a regular winter accessory. Overall, it’s a pretty neat design.
Blastoise
Created by: Audra
Blastoise is the final evolution of Wartortle and one the strongest water Pokemon, if you strategize enough. Now, Blastoise ain’t that popular in the community since there are better Pokemons that you can substitute for this big boy.
But for those truly appreciate the beauty of this absolute king of the seas, here’s a little treat from Audra. This Blastoise design was made with a fairly accurate overall design, if you don’t count the shell and the two cannons, which is part of his iconic look. The face really resembles his face and it’s nice to see that the overall mesh for the body ain’t that substandard at best.
Pokemon Trainer Red
Created by: DragonsDungeon
Red is one of the most popular and iconic trainers in the series. He was first introduced in the GBA Pokemon game, Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green as the starting trainer.
One of the most well-known trademark for his design is the red blazer and cap. This design by DragonsDungeon is so good that it’s almost a palette design in the old GBA game. The accuracy on original portrait is so fresh and almost mirrored at this point that there’s no reason for you to not use this if you’re roleplaying as a Pokemon trainer.
Raichu
Created by: Audra
Another one of Audra’s masterpieces, this Raichu Minecraft skin is definitely something you’d not like to miss.
Raichu is Pikachu’s next evolution and one of the least popular Pokemons, in my opinion. It’s due to the fact that Pikachu has always been marketed as the franchise’s icon. With this skin, you can now bring a little appreciation to this cute electric Pokemon. Nevermind the ears, it’s hard to program its eccentric design, but the overall look is really good and on point.
Charizard
Created by: Audra
From the same creator, here’s another awesome design, now for the godly lizard that’s Charizard. Charizard is one of Ash’s starter Pokemons and one of the reasons why Charizard is so popular is because he breathes fire and he’s just so damn stubborn, just like the rest of the children playing this game.
Although at times, he can be a bit clunky and stubborn, he’s still an adorable and cute lizard in our eyes, and now you can be like him by using his skin. It doesn’t come with fire on his tail as Torch, so beware of entering caves.
Snorlax
Created by: Audra
Snorlax’s design is probably one of the silliest looking ones but one of the easiest one to be created. He’s just composed of two colors and the simplicity of his design is something that you’ll appreciate over time.
Normally, Snorlax will be a bother at any kind of passages and paths, but since we’re talking about Minecraft here, it might take them more enough diamond pickaxes to get past your lazy but astonishingly good-looking skin. And yeah, he’s been benching diamond blocks for breakfast so you know he’s fit as hell.
Arcanine
Created by: Audra
Arcanine is one of the legendary Pokemon in the series. It’s known for its ferocity and bravery in any battle. This design by Audra is really professional and incredibly well-designed.
Compared to most of the works by the same guy, this design is somewhat accurate, feels normal to use, and just so well done that its looks is almost on par with the design of the Pokemon Trainer Red. If you compare this skin to what’s already on this list, it’ll stand out since you’re gonna have the stylish design of Arcanine without looking a weirdo. The palette and color scheme, plus the amount of details in this skin is on par with the anime and the game’s version. You’re missing out if you haven’t tried this skin yet.
Pokemon Red Trainer
Created by: Krealor
Compared to the previous Pokemon Trainer Red design by DragonsDungeon, Krealor’s take on Red is a bit heavy and mostly polishing the design by increasing the brightness of its overall color quality, which DragonsDungeon was lacking. This take is a bit too bright, but the thing is, you’ll want to stand out from the rest, which is done right by the skinner.
The color scheme matches Red’s original design and the saturation was done in a way that’s in line with the current generation, so it doesn’t feel like it’s a dusty from all angles.
Pokemon Trainer Gold (Ethan)
Created by: Daiosity
If you’ve been following the series long enough and managed to get to play Pokemon Gold and Silver, the name “Ethan” will be familiar. This particular design for Ethan was made Daiosity.
This palette format can be a bit unfamiliar to non-enthusiasts, but for the regular players, this skin is perfect. It features the signature red hoodie, cap, jeans, and the right side bangs. The cap might look like it’s missing, but believe me, it’s there.
Giratina
Created by: Audra
This legendary Pokemon design was made by the same skinner, Audra. Although it might be a little bit confusing at first, since the color scheme is paired with what texture pack you’re using, the design is superb.
It kinda reminds me of a mix of garuda and a traditional Shogun design. It’s intimidating AND fashionable. Perfect for crushing the rebelling clans and Pokemons.
Magikarp
Created by: Audra
Okay, don’t laugh. Magikarp might be a little funny at level 1, but it can destroy your entire Pokedex if you put enough effort to level up its mightiest attack.
Another round of applause for Audra’s masterful design of Magikarp. It’s crazy and looks like he’s been doing drugs for the most part, but join any random Pokemon-roleplaying server and you’ll be popular in no time. I think the side view looks good, as well as the back view. The front side view looks…magikal.
Vaporeon
Created by: Audra
No one can stop Audra from capitalizing these awesome Pokemon skins, including one of the best water Pokemons of Gen 1, Vaporeon. This Minecraft skin of Vaporeon is sure vaporizing and too cool to be in your collection, but you might need a little style in your wardrobe of skins, then this skin is for you.
This Pokemon skin is a bit simple, just like its original form. Simplicity is what makes this jumpsuit-like skin stands out on all fours. Although, for the most part, I think it’s a lot better to use this skin for zombies.
Dialga
Created by: Audra
You already know who made this Pokemon skin for Minecraft and it’s our guy, Audra. This gen 4 beast of a Pokemon is resurrected as a Minecraft skin in this wonderful creation. Dialga’s armor and spikes are mastercrafted in this design and it feels like you’re wearing an armor, even though you’re not.
I’m pretty sure that if ever this skin design is made into an armor, it’s gotta be the highest tier simply for its aesthetic and edgy design.
Groudon
Created by: Audra
This mythical Pokemon is reimagined and redesigned as a Minecraft skin by none other Audra. Hell, our guy’s really doing a fine job by giving us these stunning designs. If you don’t know yet, Groudon is a legendary Pokemon that appeared in Gen 3 series and has the ability to expand continents.
And now, you can play as Groudon and expand your own territories and continents. Pretty neat, right?
Serena [Pokemon X & Y]
Created by: Meggles
Serena first appeared in the Pokemon series in X & Y, as a Pokemon Performer. Pokemon Performers are, well, think of them as pop idols or anything related to being an idol. This Pokemon skin for Minecraft is made by one of the devoted skinners, Meggles.
Now, you can play as Serena and serenade the entire world with your creations and your auto-karaoke with redstones and jukebox, you might just need a fox to be your Fennekin, though.
