This Hand-Sculpted Pikachu Is the Wireless iPhone Charger of My Dreams

The best feature of wireless charging is that it is a more convenient way to power up devices without having to struggle to find and plug in a cable. Nendo Yoshirin has shown us that wireless charging can be more creative and adorable than a boring puck sitting on your nightstand.

Even the most casual of PokE9;mon fans have wondered if befriending a Pikachu would solve all of their charging problems. Is it possible to throw the Pokémon in your backpack and open it ten minutes later to find all of your devices completely charged? It's an experiment none of us will ever have a chance to try in real life, but this fan-made Pikachu themed wireless charger is hands-down the next best thing.

There are more Pikachu toys and collectibles than there are stars in the night sky, and someone has already thought of turning the pocket monster into a wireless charging device. Their approach of having users just put a phone on Pika's head was uninspired. A Pikachu that appears to cuddle up with your phone while you charge it? That requires a lot of work to be realized.

The artist molded and sculpted Pikachu from scratch, while also integrating one of Apple's own MagSafe charging pads into the Pok E9;mon's cheek, with the charging cable hidden along Pikachu. We don't know what his butt is.

The entire build process is documented here, which includes lots of drying time, lots of sanding, and some expert-level paint and decals applications to make this lifesize Pikachu charger look remarkably realistic. If you're willing to sacrifice a big chunk of your nightstand, the phone holder is a good idea.
