Pokémon PokéLid · Color-By-Numbers Plates
Across Japan, real illustrated manhole covers — “PokéLids” — celebrate a Pokémon tied to each town. This is a growing collection of those designs as Color-By-Numbers plates: each one prints as a clean line-art plate that you then paint in by number. Matching paint kits and ready-made painted plates are available too — see the links at the bottom.
A Color-By-Numbers display plate of Dragonite & Butterfree, adapted from the real
"PokéLid" Pokémon manhole cover installed in Minami-Echizen, Fukui — one of the
illustrated covers found in cities across Japan, each tied to a Pokémon
meaningful to that place.

This design uses 10 colors: Light Pink, Light Blue, Gold, Pink, Dark Green, White, Green, Cream, Light Purple, Sky Blue.

How to print & paint it
- Prints as a clean two-tone line-art plate — black outlines on a white or transparent base.
- Every region is numbered — paint it in with the color-by-numbers guide. I recommend AP-certified (ACMI) acrylic markers or paint: classroom-safe, and a relaxing project to share with kids.
