Summary
A talentedPokemoncosplayer and fan is catching the eyes of hundreds of fellowPokemonfans for their unusual yet impressive cosplay of Sirfetch’d. While many of the fans who have commented on the pictures find the choice to create a Sirfetch’d costume out of hundreds and hundreds of Pokemon an unorthodox one, they are praising it for its ingenuity.
Introduced as part ofPokemon’s eighth generation, Sirfetch’d is the evolved form of the classic first-gen Pokemon Farfetch’d, although the conditions for its evolution are very specific. In order toevolve Farfetch’d into Sirfetch’d, it must first be a Galarian Farfetch’d, obtainable exclusively throughPokemon Sword. Secondly, the Galarian Farfetch’d has to land three critical hits in a single battle, making attaining the obscure Pokemon rather difficult unless a Leek is equipped. The Sirfetch’d cosplay actually has such a Leek, and their cosplay seems to be a critical hit withPokemonfans.
The impressive Sirfetch’d cosplay comes from a Reddit user with the handle of Chelonia_Cosplay, who posted themselves on one of the site’s majorPokemonpages. Playing off the knight-like appearance ofthe underrated Fighting-type Pokemon, the cosplay features a white breastplate, as well as an all-white helmet in a Roman Praetorian Guard style, complete with feathers and eyebrows. Yellow leg armor adds to the motif while serving as an excellent way to emulate Sirfetch’d’s legs, and the Leek sword and shield are recreated with total accuracy. Embossed feathers on the white armor pieces add additional flair to the remarkable cosplay.
With nearly 800 upvotes and counting, it’s safe to sayPokemonfans love the cosplay. The only issue a few fans seem to be taking is the lack of a beak, given that Sirfetch’d is the Wild Duck Pokemon. The cosplay’s creator gave the humorous excuse that a “serious injury” from a battle is the reason the beak was “lost.” While the Sirfetch’d cosplay is undoubtedly impressive, it isn’t the onlyPokemoncosplay to be recently lauded.A Viridian Forest Ranger cosplayposted on the same Reddit page amassed a whopping 4,500 upvotes, with the outfit even winning an award.
Sirfetch’d Cosplay Isn’t Too Farfetched
In addition toPokemonfans creating cosplays of Sirfetch’d, other fans have been fusing the character together with other Pokemon, creating some stunning results. OnePokemonfan’s art fuses Corviknight and Sirfetch’dtogether, with the pair of knight-like birds meshing quite well together. Looking like a black knight to Sirfetch’d’s white knight appearance, the fusion could perhaps serve as Chelonia_Cosplay or anotherPokemoncosplayer’s next inspiration.
