When constructing the tail, start at the tip, make each section one at a time, and insert the previous part in to the next, and attach it to the body before closing.

It's also easy to mistake the right side with the underside of the piece. But hey, at least you won't get the dreaded white lines! =D

POKÉ BALL
Interesting Facts: The Poké Ball (モンスターボール, Monsutābōru?, Monster Ball in original Japanese language versions) is a spherical device used by Pokémon Trainers to capture wild Pokémon and store them when not active. The balls convert a Pokémon into energy upon contact, suck it inside, and close automatically. Stronger Pokémon are able to struggle and possibly break free, while those that have been weakened are easily captured. The Poké Ball, not in use, is the size of a golf ball and with the press of the central button, enlarges to the size of an orange. The Pokémon is released for battle by throwing the ball, and when retrieving a Pokémon, a beam of red colored light will convert the Pokémon into energy and retrieve it.
