This water type was cute and harmless and you would be forgiven for thinking that he might one day make for an adorable plush. But thinking about this prospect for more than 30 seconds, you&#8217;d surely see how that could be a bad idea, right? Apparently not.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, a plush of the Garden Eel &#8216;mon is now available from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemoncenter.com\/product\/701E10072\/wiglett-poke-plush-10-in\">Pok\u00e9mon Center<\/a> and the results are&#8230; just as interesting as you might expect (thanks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/the-pokemon-company-really-went-ahead-and-made-a-plush-for-its-most-nsfw-pokemon\">IGN<\/a>).
