Already shared my humanoid Gardevoir papercraft template, you can view here:

And I have already assembled her, so you can view the build papercraft and how cute she looks :) And if course to share some tips on how to make the assembly simpler as well.
*As with any of my papercraft templates, the blank PDO is always included in these files, so you help yourself with the 3D preview in Pepakura to assemble it, but I like to post a bit of experience I have with building papercrafts to maybe make things easier for less experienced papercrafters and share ideas on how to make it simpler :)
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
As with all of my papercraft, divide the craft into separate parts you can glue together at the end, to make the assembly easier. You can divide it into: the head, the torso, the dress, the arms, the sleeves, the legs, and the 2D add-ons you glue on at the end.
Start by making the face part and glue the front hair bangs on the face flaps. Once you have that, glue on the neck and then glue the backside of the hair, starting from top to bottom.
Put these aside, and make the separate torso. Glue it by gluing it on from the neck downwards, and when you have the first parts done, put it aside and make both sleeves and then both arms. Glue the pre-made sleeves on the torso, and further build the torso, first by gluing on both pink horns at the front and back and stop at the hips.
Once you have this, you can glue the dress parts together, since they consists of 3 different layers, and then glue those on at the hip parts with the leftover flaps on the main body.
Then, you can the 2 legs with the bottom together. Best way is to glue those from bottom to top. When you are ready with the top and bottom part and want to join them together, I do suggest you put in some weights inside the legs before you glue them, because she will stand easier and nicer, without having to balance the 2 parts at the end to make it straight.
*Pro-tip: I always say, the best weights I found for papercraft are small pebbles. They are small enough to fit inside the papercraft parts you want to weight down, they don’t rip up the paper or deform it, and at the same time they weight just enough to make the craft stand like an ace. Really neat to use those, trust me and try it :D
And when you have the weights in, put glue on the flaps of the end of the leg part and join the 2 parts at the right angle, putting them on a flat surface and balancing them out to make it stand that way.
At the end, you can glue on the various add-ons, such as the bows, the belt the Sakura flowers and mostly the long bow at the back. The back bow will help you additionally balance the Gardevoir papercraft, so make sure it’s put at the end of the back, so the long sashes are dragging on the floor and help make her stand as well.
And if you make it with all the tips I gave you here, it’s gonna look like this preview at the end :)

Hope you like the humanoid Gardevoir Pokemon and it inspires you to make a new papercraft or 2 for yourself. Enjoy and happy crafting~
