Free Pokémon Pumpkin Carving Stencils and Ideas

Pokémon transcends generations. Whether you dueled with cards on the playground or peacefully watched the series at home while growing up, Halloween is the perfect occasion to unleash your inner Pokémon trainer. These Pokémon pumpkin stencils are the perfect excuse to carve a pumpkin before you don that Pikachu Halloween costume.

Pumpkin carving is a top tier Halloween tradition, but finding inspiration can be difficult. Instead of carving out a witch, a ghost, or a vampire, these Pokémon pumpkin-carving templates by Morgan Pugh add a unique twist. Don’t be surprised if your neighbors do a double take upon seeing Bulbasaur, Snorlax, or Jigglypuff chilling outside your doorstep. You can even carve out Zubats on all of your mini pumpkins to line your driveway or windowsill for some additional spooky Halloween decor.

To download the Pokémon pumpkin stencils, simply right click on each image ahead and hit “Save As.” The designs range from easy to complex, but feel free to add your own creative touches. You can even get your friends and family involved by downloading all of the Pokémon pumpkin stencils and hosting a Pokémon pumpkin-carving contest. (Winner gets to dress like Ash Ketchum or Team Rocket.) After all, if the series taught us anything, it’s that a little friendly competition can be fun.

If you still consider yourself new to the whimsical and engaging Pokémon world, that’s fine, too — you’re always welcome to join in and pick your Pokémon companion. We weren’t able to secure templates for all 1,000+ species, but there are definitely a few fan favorites in the mix to choose from.

Select your preferred level of difficulty and see all the Pokémon pumpkin-carving stencils available to download ahead.
