How to dress as Liko or Roy

Today is Ash Wednesday but because of the latest Pokemon anime series, let's rename it Liko & Roy Wednesday because of the show's two main characters. 

To recall, the Pokemon Horizons anime series centers on two youngsters, Liko and Roy, as they set off on a globe-trotting adventure as members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, an intrepid group of brave adventurers led by Friede. Together, they unravel the secrets and save the day from the wrath of a shadowy group of evil-doers called the Explorers.

As anime convention season draws near, the call to cosplay has spiked and your interest in dressing as either Liko or Roy has been answered because today, I'll teach you how to dress as Liko or Roy from the Pokemon Horizons series.

How to dress as Liko

• Start with semi-long black hair and a hairpin shaped like...you know what that symbol is. HINT: It's the same symbol in the first and original hat Ash wore in the old Pokemon anime.
• With the hair sorted, work on her outfit. She wore a bluish short-sleeved coat, a white T-shirt, and dark blue shorts with buttons. The yellow fanny pack is an optional accessory, although it's hard to find one shaped like Liko's.
• White running shoes and white socks are a must.
• OPTIONAL: A Poke Ball toy and a Sprigatito plush. Seriously, a Poke Ball is a necessity to prove that you're dressed as Liko.

How to dress as Roy

• Beginning to the top, Roy has a black cap with a red hairdo stuffed. To replicate it, you'll need a black cap, paint the cotton red, stick it, and that's your lot.
• For the outfit, Roy wears a black vest, a red T-shirt with short white sleeves, and brown shorts. Snag those clothes for your cosplay project but be warned, replicating the insignia from Roy's T-shirt can be nerve-wracking. Consult a T-shirt expert first.
• For the footwear, Roy wears sandals. Any sandal would work.
• OPTIONAL: A Poke Ball toy and a Fuecoco plush. As expected, a Poke Ball is a necessity to pass as Roy.

...and there you have it. How to dress as Liko or Roy from the Pokemon Horizons series. Dressing as one of the main characters makes you feel like you're part of the Rising Volt Tacklers, huh? Nidothing approves and so does every Pokemon fan everywhere.

Good luck!
