Every game in the popular RPG series begins with the player having to choose their starter Pokemon. In Sword & Shield trainers are offered a choice between Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.
Prolific cosplayer Isabel ‘Luxlo‘ chose the Water-type character to dress up as, and shared her jaw-dropping take on social media. Using a blue wig and blue dress, she transformed into the timid frog.
The talented artist collaborated with photographer ‘dreamlifestylephotography‘ who captured her posing as the Pokemon. Bringing the whole costume together, she creatively recreated his curly blue tail, and his signature yellow and blue fin.
