Pokémon fans rejoice as DeviantARTist Leafeon-ex creates the perfect Pokémon puppy cosplay costume. Styled to look like the Pokémon Umbreon, this puppy looks exactly like the Pokémon while wearing the costume.
For people who have grown up with a deep love for Pokémon, this is the closest you will get to have your very own pet Pokémon. When Leafeon-ex takes her dog outside in its Umbreon suit she can reenact her Pokémon dreams. As the dog walks around the tall grass it looks identical to a wild Pokémon. You will be able to try and catch your very own Pokémon in the form of throwing a Pokéball stylized ball for the dog to go fetch. This puppy cosplay costume is a great merging of Pokémon fandom and love for dogs.
