Is your Pokémon Go addiction becoming too much for your smartphone battery? Or maybe you just don’t feel enough like a real Pokémon trainer running around holding your mobile device. One committed Pokémon Go ‘trainer’ has created a retro 3D printed Pokédex that also doubles as a battery case for your phone. The Pokédex is styled after the one in the original series, and it is sure to make all of those other Pokémon players jealous.

While the case was specifically designed for a Galaxy S4, the creator has made the plans open source and uploaded everything to GitHub, so you can customize it as you would like. Other than the 3D printing files, he has also created a circuit schematic so that you can wire up the case to charge your phone, according to The Verge, which you can view below.
