Pokemon cosplayer goes viral with jaw-dropping Garchomp outfit Willow Creative \/ The Pokemon CompanyA Pokemon cosplayer has gone ridiculously viral with their incredible full-body Garchomp costume, which was inspired by the release of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Pokemon is one of the most beloved pop culture franchises in the world, so it\u2019s no surprise that there\u2019s a legion of dedicated fans waiting to deliver their best cosplay whenever a new game is released \u2013 but this has to be one of the best we\u2019ve seen so far. Cosplayer Willow Creative previously impressed Pokemon fans with their epic Mewtwo outfit, so when Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl were announced, they knew they needed to pull something amazing out of the bag to celebrate its launch. And who better to cosplay as than Garchomp, the Sinnoh region\u2019s premier pseudo-Legendary? In a video shared to Reddit \u2013 which has almost 50k upvotes! \u2013 Willow can be seen posing in a full-body Garchomp suit, and it\u2019s blown fans away. Willow told Dexerto that the Garchomp costume took nine days to make \u2013 at one point they ran out of blue fleece fabric as it required more than they expected \u2013 and it was completed just after Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl were released. \u201cThe costume is made with upholstery foam and I used the application Pepakura, which is used to make 3D paper figures, to create a real-life scale pattern to fit me,\u201d they explained when talking about the creative process. \u201cThe upholstery foam pieces were glued to a bodysuit, and then fleece was sewn over it as a skin, mostly by hand,\u201d Willow continued. \u201cI\u2019ve put zippers in the wrists, feet, and back to easily get into the costume, and velcro was used to be able to remove the fins.\u201d Willow said the costume does get \u201cquite warm\u201d when wearing it, but added: \u201cIt is very easy to take off and put on by myself, so taking a break is not a problem.\u201d Read More: Pokemon cosplayer becomes perfect Dawn – This is the fifth Pokemon costume that Willow has created, joining their existing Pokemon team of Mewtwo, Lucario, Zeraora, and Blaziken, so they\u2019ll be ready to take on the Elite Four in no time. As for what\u2019s next? \u201cI\u2019m currently making a Cynthia cosplay,\u201d Willow told us, \u201cso I can ask a friend to do a photoshoot with me in the style of the Champion of the Gen 4 games.\u201d We\u2019ll definitely be keeping an eye out for that one \u2013 and you can, too, if you follow Willow over on Instagram and Twitter!
